Privacy is a very imporant part of western cultures.People try to respect each other's privacy at home,work and school .Early morning and late night calls and visits and avoided. It's rude to wake someone or to stop by someone's house without calling or being invited. If you are invited to someone's house for a visit,be sure not to overstay your welcome.A visit does not mean to stay all day. Respect a person's personal affairs and activites.If someone refures to come to a party or accept an invitation .they do not have to give a reason.This is different in the workplace and at school. Privacy on the job or at school is still respected. Many people will have their own space in an office.At school each child is usually given his or her own desk and locker.

I totally agree that people should respect others privacy and it is also respectful like you said to wait until you are invited or at least call and ask before coming over and not showing up. I hate when people do that before calling, because you never know what I could be doing or if I am not home. I also hate it when people over stay there welcome. Sometimes I have people come over and they overstay there welcome and I'm tired and I want to get to sleep and they are cutting into my sleep. Or I may have other things to do for that day. I also hate when people come over without a notice first also, because they didn't give me enough time to get my house in order. Because sometimes my house is not presentable and I need to straighten it before I have guest.

it is very important to me too thats why i respect other people privacy. but it is hard for me to keep my privacy because i have two brothers and a sister and they always getting into my things. i do not get in their things but sometimes their things are in my space. they blame me for it, but i just dont mind them because i am the eldest among of us. i just tell my parents if they are becoming too annoying for me.
