60. “Employers should have no right to
obtain information about their employees’ health or other aspects of their
personal lives without the employees’ permission.”

This statement actually consists two
claims: (1) employers should have no right to obtain information about their
employees' health without permission, and (2) they should also have no right to
obtain the employee's other aspects of their personal lives without permission.
I concede that in most cases, employers have no rights to obtain their
employees' personal lives. However, if it is necessary to know the employees'
health status depends on different fields of work.

First of all, whether an employer should
obtain his employees' health condition depends on the industry they are in. A
food related worker should pass severe health exam and keep health, while an
accountant could keep health condition secret. A doctor should keep health
while a machine operator could keep health condition secret. A waiter who
contacts many people a day should keep health for the safety of his customers,
while a artisan who works alone could keep health condition secret.

Second, whether other aspects of employees'
personal lives can be obtained by the employer without permission also depends
on different conditions. As for most people, it is their own rights to keep
their personal lives secret, and the employer has no right to obtain
information about them. But there are also some exceptions. It is hard for a
president of a country, like Bill Clinton, who is a popular person, to conceal
their personal lives. Film stars or famous singers are always the focus of mass
media. If the employer does not know their personal lives earlier than the mass
media, it is possible that some negative news could do harm to the stars, to
the company, and even to the society. So in this case, employers should know
something about employees' personal life.

However, people' rights of privacy are
concerned more and more. In most cases, the employer should respect employees'
rights of privacy, because it is not only a requirement of moral, but also a
requirement of some laws.

On balance, we can safely reach the
conclusion that whether it is necessary for employers to know their employees'
health or other aspects of their personal lives is a complicated depends on
different conditions. When making such decision, an employer should make a
comprehensive analysis between human rights and social benefits.

谢谢指点！！

我也觉得过分强调那些情况可以获得了，实际上大多数情况下是不可以的。。。
