Primacy Factor

Describes a phenomenon that happens to the majority of people in a conversation. The first few words that come out of the persons mouth are positive, followed by negative statements. You only remember the first 2 words or so, and ignore the negative words. Thereby giving that person the benefit of the doubt due to most people's inability to recall words or statements past the first few that were said.

Privacy

A lot of times people say privacy when they mean personal freedom.
When you hear someone talking about what degree of privacy they are willing to give up, they really mean what degree of personal freedom are people willing to give up. There are people who call other people selfish or narcissistic just to try and get them to give up more of their personal freedom.
