Privacy is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves, or information about themselves, and thereby express themselves selectively.

The boundaries and content of what is considered private differ among cultures and individuals, but share common themes.

When something is private to a person, it usually means that something is inherently special or sensitive to them.

The domain of privacy partially overlaps security (confidentiality), which can include the concepts of appropriate use, as well as protection of information.

Privacy may also take the form of bodily integrity.

An Internet forum, or message board, is an online discussion site where people can hold conversations in the form of posted messages.

They differ from chat rooms in that messages are often longer than one line of text, and are at least temporarily archived.

Also, depending on the access level of a user or the forum set-up, a posted message might need to be approved by a moderator before it becomes visible.

Belief is the state of mind in which a person thinks something to be the case, with or without there being empirical evidence to prove that something is the case with factual certainty.

Another way of defining belief sees it as a mental representation of an attitude positively oriented towards the likelihood of something being true.

In the context of Ancient Greek thought, two related concepts were identified with regards to the concept of belief: pistis and doxa.

Simplified, we may say that pistis refers to "trust" and "confidence", while doxa refers to "opinion" and "acceptance".

The English word "orthodoxy" derives from doxa.

Jonathan Leicester suggests that belief has the purpose of guiding action rather than indicating truth.

Political freedom (also known as a political autonomy or political agency) is a central concept in history and political thought and one of the most important features of democratic societies.

Political freedom was described as freedom from oppression or coercion, the absence of disabling conditions for an individual and the fulfillment of enabling conditions, or the absence of life conditions of compulsion, e.g. economic compulsion, in a society.

Although political freedom is often interpreted negatively as the freedom from unreasonable external constraints on action, it can also refer to the positive exercise of rights, capacities and possibilities for action, and the exercise of social or group rights.

The concept can also include freedom from "internal" constraints on political action or speech (e.g. social conformity, consistency, or "inauthentic" behaviour).

The concept of political freedom is closely connected with the concepts of civil liberties and human rights, which in democratic societies are usually afforded legal protection from the state.
