What Spying on Your Loved Ones Can Lead To

(To inform)
INTRODUCTION
I.

Attention Step
If someone gave you access to your crushs facebook account, would you
take the chance to read the contents of his/her inbox? Or if you could, would you
hack a famous celebritys email account and leak his/her private photographs on the
internet, for everyone to see? Or if you have a boyfriend/girlfriend, would you ever
spy on them?

Clarification Step
If youve ever gossiped about someone, or quickly glanced at a document on
your classmates desk, whether you like it or not, youve definitely snooped at some
point in your life. Most of us have done these things and realize that a curiosity
about your surroundings and others is part of fundamental human nature. But while
spying has been considered to be an acceptable solution to certain problems,
snooping on someone does not only cause a buildup of guilt but could potentially
damage your health and relationships as well.
