What we should start out with is to define what a party is. For those who have never been to one or don’t know what a “party” is, it’s a social gathering where people get together to drink, do drugs, meet new people, have fun with friends and strangers, engage in activities they otherwise would not have if they were one, five, or ten years younger. This can range from a simple birthday party for a 2-year old, to a wild college party like the ones I attended during my first few years at university… Ok, that is one type of party, but not the type of party we all are looking for or the type I plan to throw here.

Another way to define “party” is a formally constituted political group, typically operating on a national basis, that contests elections and attempts to form or take part in a government… That doesn’t sound like what I want to be involved in either.

Perhaps this is an act of enjoying oneself? Or is this a people forming one side of an agreement or dispute? In the end, it’s a combination of all four different definitions.

At DPP, I want you to enjoy what you read, think critically about the content, and apply it to your own personal and professional life. Although this is not a politically driven “party,” or by any means a “party” where one gets drunk and forgets what happened the next day, the goal is to read something relevant and entertaining, use it to affect your life in a positive way, educate yourself on areas you hadn’t thought of before, and share your enjoyment with others.

Boom! Seems like we hit on each of the four definitions for what a party is, and what this party is. I hope you join me in sharing knowledge of the field of data privacy with others.
