This document discusses the key issues in computer ethics as they relate to pharmaceutical research. It outlines four main ethical issues: privacy, liability, ownership, and power. Regarding privacy, it discusses the right to medical privacy and risks of collecting too much individual data. On liability, it notes responsibility for software functioning properly. Ownership concerns resolving intellectual property rights. Power issues include centralization of control. The document also provides examples of codes of conduct from computing organizations that can provide guidelines to help address these ethical challenges.

Project DescriptionApply decision-making frameworks to IT-rela.docxbriancrawford30935
Project Description
Apply decision-making frameworks to IT-related ethical issues
There are several ethical theories described in Module 1: Ethical Theories. Module 2: Methods of Ethical Decision Making, describes frameworks for ethical analysis. For this paper, use the Reynolds Seven-Step approach to address the following:
· Describe a current IT-related ethical issue; and define a problem statement
· Analyze your problem using a decision-making framework chosen from Module 2.
· Discuss the applicable ethical theory from Module 1 that supports your decision.
· Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper.
· Use APA style and format. Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) reference citations for all sources. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.
Each of Reynolds seven steps must be a major heading in your paper.
Here are some suggested issues-
1. Workplace Issue.
2. Privacy on the Web. What is happening now in terms of privacy on the Web? Think about recent abuses and improvements. Describe and evaluate Web site policies, technical and privacy policy protections, and current proposals for government regulations.
3. Personal Data Privacy Regulations in Other Countries. Report on personal data privacy regulations, Web site privacy policies, and governmental/law enforcement about access to personal data in one or more countries; e.g., the European Union. This is especially relevant as our global economic community expands and we are more dependent on non-US clients for e-Business over the Internet. (Note: new proposed regulations are under review in Europe.)
4. Spam. Describe new technical solutions and the current state of regulation. Consider the relevance of freedom of speech. Discuss the roles of technical and legislative solutions.
5. Computer-Based Crimes. Discuss the most prevalent types of computer crimes, such as Phishing. Analyze why and how these can occur. Describe protective measures that might assist in preventing or mitigating these types of crimes.
6. Government surveillance of the Internet. The 9/11 attacks on the US in 2001 brought many new laws and permits more government surveillance of the Internet. Is this a good idea? Many issues are cropping up daily in our current periodicals!
7. The Digital Divide. Does it exist; what does it look like; and, what are the ethical considerations and impact?
8. Privacy in the Workplace: Monitoring Employee Web and E-Mail Use. What are current opinions concerning monitoring employee computer use. What policies are employers using? Should this be authorized or not? Policies are changing even now!
9. Medical Privacy. Who owns your medical history? What is the state of current legislation to protect your health information? Is it sufficient? There are new incentives with federal stimulus financing for health care organizations to de.

in the textbook)
A. Strategies for Selected Discussion Questions in Chapter 1
4. Gotterbarn’s arguments are well constructed, and Gotterbarn makes a plausible case for
why computer ethics should be conceived of as field of professional ethics. In defense of
Gotterbarn’s position, we must concede that an understanding of professional-responsibility
issues is critical to an adequate understanding and analysis of computer ethics issues. In the
period of computing preceding the World Wide Web, Gotterbarn’s argument for why the field
of computer ethics should be conceived of as an area of professional ethics (whose primary
concern was for computer professionals) was plausible. At that time, many (if not most) of the
ethical issues involving computers directly affected the computing profession. Since then,
however, two important factors have influenced the field. First, a new (and broader) wave of
computer-related ethical issues emerged when the Internet became accessible to ordinary
people. Second, most people who currently use computers, either for work or for recreational
purposes, are not computer professionals. So, it would seem that we need a much broader
conception of the field than the one proposed by Gotterbarn. However, we also saw that
Gotterbarn’s view may ultimately turn out to be correct as more and more traditional
computer-ethics issues, such as those involving privacy, property, speech, and so forth,
become folded into “ordinary ethics.”
6. If we apply the first two-steps of the methodology described in Sec. 1.6 (entitled “A
Comprehensive Strategy for Approaching Cyberethics Issues”), we must first identify what
the ethical issues are in this case. Here, issues involving the personal privacy of Internet users
would seem to be apparent; so we have identified at least one ethical issue. Next, we need to
see whether there are any “policy vacuums” associated with this particular issue. There would
indeed seem to be a policy vacuum in the sense that neither ISPs nor ordinary users have a
clear understanding of a law or a policy for determining whether personal information about a
user’s online activities can be given to a non-law-enforcement organization merely because
some organization suspects one or more subscribers to an ISP of having violated copyright
laws. Consider that the RIAA is not a law enforcement agency. So, a policy vacuum
regarding cybertechnology once again emerges, and this vacuum or void needs to be filled
with a clear and explicit policy.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

3. INTRODUCTION
Ethics is a set of moral principles that govern the behavior of a group
or individual.
likewise, computer ethics is set of moral principles that regulate the
use of computers.
In pharmaceutical research computers, computing technology, and
the consequent information systems have produced ethical challenges
and conflicts.
The challenges and conflicts have been presented not only to
the practitioner facing new problems but also to the
professional philosopher dealing with computer use at a
conceptual level. 3
4. Cntd..
The challenges and conflicts are not only individual, often arising from
practical experience, but also collective, involving judgments regarding
policy and procedure.
If we propose to examine the ethics of computing in
pharmaceutical research and the challenges therein, then we
should begin the examination with an overview of how
philosophers regard computer ethics.
After addressing the matter of how to regard computer ethics in
terms of its philosophical classification, we should identify the
issues and areas in which philosophers have shown the most
interest with regard to computer ethics, namely, the issues of
privacy, liability, ownership,and power.
4
5. Cntd..
As we address these areas, we note problems more specific to the
computer user in pharmaceutical research and make suggestions about
the place of ethics in pharmaceutical research.
Finally, we look at some codes of conduct relevant to the use of
computers.
5
6. ETHICAL AND UNETHICAL
Basically Computer ethics are just knowing the difference between
ethical and unethical.
For example,while it is easy to duplicate copyrighted electronic (or
digital)content, computer ethics would suggest that it is wrong to do so
without the author's approval.
And while it may be possible to access someone's personal information
on a computer system, computer ethics would advise that such an action
is unethical.
6
7. Cntd..
For example, according to one open source report, Chinese
hackers have taken as much as 6.5 terabytes of information from
a single company, although the name of the company was not
publicly disclosed. In 2015, Nordic countries pharmaceutical
companies were victimized by the cyber espionage efforts.
7
8. PHILOSOPHY AND COMPUTER ETHICS
As a general observation, we can say that the philosophical community
was slow to understand the ethical and conceptual challenges posed by
the advent of computers.
The issue of privacy, one of the most important and early issues to arise
with regard to computer use, was not a matter of debate on a national
level.
Another reason philosophers were slow to provide ethical and
conceptual analysis regarding computer use is that, more often than
not, technology develops in a philosophical vacuum i.e. technology is
developed by people with little training, formal or informal, in
philosophy, including ethics.
8
9. Cntd..
The ignorance of ethics on the part of technologists and computer gurus
mirrors the ignorance (and subsequent disinterest) of philosophers
about technology and technological development.
Thus development occurs with unintended and unforeseen ethical
consequences.
In making these observations, we may only be providing an echo of C. P.
Snow’s The Two Cultures, based on his Rede lecture for Cambridge
University.
Snow’s main point was that the lack of communication between the
sciences and the humanities was a regrettable situation rife with
negative consequences.
9
10. Cntd..
The Two Cultures was meant to be both an admonition to thinkers and
an invitation to have scientists and humanists work harder at
understanding each other.
Snow followed that book with a modified version, The Two Cultures: A
Second Look. In this 1963 book, he suggested that a third culture would
soon be upon us.
But if we have three cultures, those of the scientist, the humanist, and
the technologist, communication between the three could still improve
along the lines Snow suggested.
10
11. ETHICAL ISSUES: PRIVACY, LIABILITY, OWNERSHIP,
AND POWER
The single best source for quick and reasonably thorough access to the
body of knowledge associated with computer ethics is Deborah
Johnson’s Computer Ethics (3rd edition, 2001).
For one thing, the first part of the book presents a modest introduction
to the basic considerations that applied ethics most often employs,
namely,rights, justice, and utility.
The concept of rights, which are an individual’s entitlements to those
liberties, choices, opportunities, and items having serious consequence
for human life, is precisely what privacy depends on for protection.
11
12. Cntd..
The concept of justice, that is, the matter of giving each
person what is due that person, is necessarily connected to
the distribution of benefits and burdens, whatever they
might be and however they are conceived.
12
13. Privacy:
There is a right to privacy that protects the sick individual’s medical
record from public release and thats the issue of privacy.
The phrase “Big Brother is watching” meant that government officials
had control over information on citizens.
The result is a demand to rethink privacy and rethink the framework of
applied ethics, especially because the scale of intrusion may change the
qualitative nature of the offense.
More narrowly defined, the right to privacy is thought of as the right of
individuals to determine the nature, scope, and manner of information
revealed about themselves.
13
14. Cntd...
The right to privacy is essentially a matter of an individual’s controlling
the information about himself or herself.
Supplying information about an individual should be in the hands of
the individual.
Philosophers have identified three general aspects with regard to the
right to privacy.
For any intrusion into the right to privacy, the elements of relevance,
consent, and method must be considered.
14
15. Cntd..
For instance, in employer-employee relationships, the employer may, at
times, investigate work-related problems by encroaching upon the
employee’s private life.
Such “encroachments” must be relevant to the job the employee does.
For matters relating to pharmaceutical research,the most likely problem
with regard to privacy is the possibility of learning more about an
individual than the scope of the research permits.
Now, however, a huge information industry has evolved and the biggest
threats derive from private parties.
15
16. Cntd..
Pharmaceutical researchers need not and ought not contribute to the
supply of information available about an individual.
Furthermore, given the advent and techniques of data mining,
researchers should take precautions and build prohibitors into
research that would prevent identification of any individual subject
of the research.
16
17. Liability :
Among the topics related to liability and computer use in general are
legal liability, the duty of honesty, the nature of contracts,
misrepresentation, express and implied warranties, and negligence.
In the case of software written specifically for a certain research purpose,
the liability may not fall exclusively on the software provider.
In those situations, it behooves the researcher to be very clear in
knowing and stating his or her purposes to the programmer.
The fact that software is sold and used as a prepackaged item means that
strict liability obtains.
17
18. Cntd..
In addition to the increased precision in the communication between
the researcher and the programmer, there will be an increase in the
accuracy of the data involved in the research.
With the increased importance of accuracy, though, comes an increase
in knowledge about an individual.
If the right to privacy demands protection,then there may need to be
strict limits on who has access to programs, especially programs
involving research.
So, not only is there a need for technological “blockers” to protect
against intrusions into programs, policy and procedure must strictly
limit access to programs. 18
19. Ownership :
Various devices have been used to encapsulate and resolve the question
of ownership of software.
And, of course, the question of ownership is circumscribed by the right
to property.
Devices such as copyrights, patents, encryption, trade secrets, and oaths
of confidentiality and standard virtues like trustworthiness and loyalty
have been tried to protect ownership and the right to property.
In short, not only is there a need to communicate between the
researcher and the programmer for the sake of accuracy and
liability, there is a need to resolve the issue of property rights, too.
19
20. Cntd..
It is worth noting that questions pertaining to liability for
malfunctioning programs also depend on the resolution of
ownership.
20
21. Power :
Johnson identified the issue of power as a crucial matter for the
development of computer ethics.
After stating that “power” may broadly be construed as any capacity,
Johnson analyzes computer use in terms of several topics, including the
matter of centralization or decentralization of power, computer use as
favoring the status quo, the embedded values in computer use and
programming.
For instance, the answer to the empirical question of how the
permeation of computers affects the status quo or whether
computers contribute to the centralization or decentralization of
power will not resolve the questions of whether the status quo
should be maintained and whether centralization or
decentralization of power is the better arrangement.
21
22. CODES OF CONDUCT RELEVANT TO THE USE OF COMPUTERS
A professional code of conduct serves several purposes:
A recent study identified the ten most important behaviors that are
sanctionable offences in scientific research, and subsequently used this
list to survey scientists about whether they committed any of these
offences.
To allow a profession to regulate itself.
To state the agreed-upon values of a profession.
To make members aware of issues to which they
might not otherwise be sensitized.
To provide guidelines for ethical behavior.
22
23. Top Ten Offenses in Scientific Research:
1. Falsifying or “cooking” research data.
2. Ignoring major aspects of human-subject requirements.
3. Not properly disclosing involvement in firms whose products are
based on one’s own research.
4. Relationships with students, research subjects, or clients that may be
interpreted as questionable.
5. Using another’s ideas without obtaining permission or giving due
credit.

26. SUMMARY
The applications of computing technology have created new situations
involving ethical challenges and conflicts.
However, there are four common issues in computer ethics:
privacy, liability, ownership, and power.
One can consider three ethical frameworks in examining ethical
conflicts: rights (of individuals), justice (fairness), and
consequentialism (utility).
Researchers who use computer technology in pharmaceutical
research must be aware of the issues of computer ethics in
addition to other issues of conducting pharmaceutical research.
26
27. Cntd..
Codes of conduct such as the one developed by
ACM(Association For Computing Machinary) can help
provide guidelines for ethical computing in pharmaceutical
research.
