Module Question 2

1.) If I were a part of the VSU team who formulate a handbook like that of Virginia University the 2 policies that I want to be implemented in VSU or even just for CS students like me is:
  • Limitations of websites to access
    - students can only access those websites which is for educational purpose only. For example; google, moodle, wiki and yahoomail. All other websites will be blocked like porn sites and youtube. There is a corresponding punishments for those who will violet this policy. First caught will be warned, and the time they will do it again they cannot use anymore the computer units of the DCST bulding, for Computer Science students they cannot access anymore the moodle, their account will be blocked.

  • Changing and adding DCST's computer application
    - your are not allowed to change or install application to any computer units in DCST, it may cause of entering viruses because some software has a backdoor viruses and it may destroy the computer. If you are caught violating this policy and it will cause damage to the computer, you will be the one who will fix what ever the problem the computer has.


2.) What could be ethical to one could be unethical to another. If this is the case, in which ethics seem to be subjective in nature, why is there a need to study computer ethics at all?
     - I think most people does more unethical things than ethical thing. Most people think first what will be the benefit to them if they do a certain thing. Even if it will cause bad to others but it will cause good to them, they still do that thing.
     - Computer Ethics is very important, it wakes the mind of every people that the thing they will going to do is not always right and good of both sides between self and other people. Example; a person is using a pirated software and it helps him so much, even it helps him so much, he doesn't know that before that software has done, that cost time and mind to the programmers who made that software. So if he supports that software and the programmers, he should buy it legally.

3.) If you are to practice just one type of the non-jural law for the entire existence of your life, what would it be and why?
     - I would practice The divine Law, because other law would fall under the divine law. Once you are a follower of this law, your faith to God will become stronger, you will only do things which cause good not only to your self but also to others.
