| Abstract: |
The article discusses the cultural resources that support the values of privacy. It promotes on one such cultural resource specifically norms associated with property talk as a means of reinforcing privacy. It would be better to support privacy within American society when it regards to privacy as a kind of property. Property talk would strengthen the rhetorical force behind privacy. It also addresses some of the objections to this form of speaking but only after advancing the arguments in its favor. |
