Week 4 - Discussion 1
Computer Ethics
As the use of computers and the
internet becomes more prevalent, ethical issues related to computer usage will
continue to make a larger impact on people’s lives and the way that society
functions. Computer ethics involves the moral principles and behavioral
guidelines associated with the way in which individuals, organizations and society
as a whole use computers and information technology. Some examples of
ethical issues related to computer use include personal information privacy,
computer security, identity theft, intellectual property, equal access to
information etc.
Find a current news article in the Ashford University Library’s ProQuest US
Newsstream database about an ethical issue that involves computer technology,
or involves a technology company. The Ashford University Library is accessible
through the online classroom via the Library tab. For tips on how to use
ProQuest US Newsstream, view this quick guide: ProQuest
US Newsstream Research Tips (Links to an external site.).
Summarize the facts and major points from the article and be sure to identify
the ethical issue or issues presented in the article.
Cite your source within the body of your initial post and provide a complete
reference for the source, formatted according to APA style as outlines in the
Ashford Writing Center, at the end of your post.
