I think it is primary in all environments. I lived in a place, once-upon-a-time, where I was very unique. I was to make it a polite term: an eyerest. I could not do anything without everyone knowing about it within a flash of time (this was in a fairly large city, too). One time I went the wrong way on a one way street on a bicycle, got stopped by the police, my wife heard about it within a half-hour of it happening!! It was literally unbelievable. Since then, I have learned to absolutely love my privacy.
