After watching a very funny extract of an episode of 'Peep Show' (Channel 4) in thursday's lecture, i was left very amused and fairly disturbed. Why i hear you ask, because the main guy in the show has a crush on a woman that he works with, but he takes it upon himself to hack into her email account to see what she has been saying. This to me is abit 'stalkerish' i mean those are private emails. Then i got thinking if that was in a real life situation how bad would that be, is it really bad or is it just 'a concerned interest in someones activities'. I think that a concerned interest in someones activities can become stalking if they begin to take over someones life, if the person that takes an interest needs to intruse in someone elses affairs constantly to see whats going on this is not physically stalking but pretty close.
In terms of observance being allowable or inappropriate it makes me think of 'Hollyoaks on Channel 4' there is a storyline going on at the moment where one of the characters Will is inappropriately observing Zoe. He has fixed cameras in her room where he can see her movements whenever she is in the room, this involves taking her clothes off. This is a good example of how an observance of someone can be innappropriate when that persons privacy is being violated and especially when that person is unaware that they are being observed.
