Mckinnon: Did He Break The British Computer Society Code Of Conduct?

2. Taking the two examples (one example of right versus right moral dilemma, and one example of right versus wrong from your work experience) that you identified in week one, what criteria and factors were considered during the examination of the issue or dilemma?

1. Even with the fact that cultural values are very important in determining a person's understanding of morality, it is only safe to assume that all people have a general system of laws that they use with the purpose of differentiating between moral acts and immoral acts. In order to determine what this difference actually is, one would need to focus on the nature of his or her acts and to the consequences that these respective activities have on others. If others are negatively affected as a result of one's behavior, the respective person is responsible for being immoral.

3.     We must be able to compare our actions to some ideal or standard of morality.

2. For each of the following scenarios, on the basis of the specific facts and circumstances,

Apply the ethical decision making model presented in week one lectures (adapted from Beemsterboer, 2010; Velasquez et al, 2009) to the case study.

Similarly, it would be interesting to make a determination of ethicality in the actions of the presiding judges

i. The Arbitrary and Capricious Standard: Find the rule is arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion and in violation of some law (195)

The arrest of Kevin Mitnick by the FBI, aided by Tsutomu Shimomura a renowned computer security expert, has many ethical issues involved which needs to be discussed on a broader scale for thorough understanding of ethical concepts of technology.

I received your email in reference to feedback. I understand that you are looking for a comprehensive code of conduct framework which includes the three policies I have already created, standard policies that you feel should be included and additional policies that I feel are pertinent. This is what I have constructed for you. The Code of Conduct usually starts with an opening message or letter from the top CEO (‘s) of the company, briefly stating what the company’s vision or culture is.

2. What are the most important facts? Which facts have the most bearing on the ethical decision presented? Include any important potential economic, social, or political pressures, and exclude inconsequential

2. Choose two moral theories studied thus far in class. For each theory, provide an analysis of this situation with specific references to relevant features of the theory.

This dilemma does involve wrongdoing. All of the right versus wrong tests seem to apply here. However, the fact that the priest’s guilt is questionable prevents this dilemma from being easily resolved by these tests. There is no clear indication of which choice would be right and which would be wrong.

Kevin Mitnick has spent his entire life taking advantage of technological exploits, building a skill-set that would give him unprecedented access to some of the highest profile computer networks in the world. He will always be remembered for his 1995 arrest, but will also go down as a pioneer for both black hat and white hat hackers. He serves as an excellent case-study for where the line between ethical and unethical decisions lie in a very murky world that is becoming more and more connected every

Determining Moral Worth of an Action: Formulate a Maxim-for-Action. /Is it the right thing to do and is your motivation right? /If it is coming from good will, you should do it. /If it does not come from good will, but it is consistent with it, the action is good but you are not doing it for the right reasons, so your act should not be
