Paper A: Application of a decision making framework to an IT-
related ethical issue.
This assignment is an opportunity to explore and apply a
decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue.
A framework provides a methodical and systematic approach for
decision making
.
UMGC
Module 2 - Methods of Ethical Analysis (see LEO Content –
Readings for week 2)
describes three structured frameworks that may be used for
ethical analysis, namely
Reynolds Seven-Step Approach, Kidder’s Nine Steps, and
Spinello’s Seven-Step Process
.
There are several ways described in UMGC Module 2 to
systematically approach an ethical dilemma
, and while each of the frameworks described has its merits,
each will result in an ethical decision if straightforwardly,
objectively, and honestly applied.
In addition, consider the ethical theories described in
Module 1 – Introduction to Theoretical Ethical Frameworks (see
LEO Content – Readings for week 1)
which help decision makers find the right balance concerning
the acceptability of and justification for their actions.
A separate write-up of the ethical theory that supports your
decision is part of the following requirements
.
For this paper, the following five elements must be addressed:
Describe a current IT-related ethical issue
:
Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation,
you may want to construct a brief scenario
where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical
dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job,
or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law
that affects the general populace.
See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a
source of ethical dilemmas
.
Define a concise problem statement
that is
extracted
from the above description or scenario. It is best
if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that
needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the
dilemma
. Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law, that it
may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take
action to implement a solution.
Analyze your problem
using one of the structured decision-making frameworks chosen
from Module 2.
Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework
utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making
framework selected must be used as major headings in the
Analysis section.
Consider and state the impact of the decision that you made
on an individual, an organization, stakeholders, customers
suppliers, and the environment, as applicable!
State and discuss the applicable ethical theory
from Module 1
that supports your decision.
Concerning your paper:
Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper and submit
it to the LEO Assignments Module as an attached Microsoft
Word file.
Use headings for each topic criteria
Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA)
source citations for all sources you use
. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper
should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good
organization, and proper business-writing style.
Include a Cover Page with your Name, the UMGC/Name of the
Class, and the Title of the Paper.
For example, Kidder’s approach has nine steps, which are:
Recognize that there is a moral issue.
Determine the actor (whose moral issue is it?).
Gather the relevant facts.
Test for right-versus-wrong issues.
Test for right-versus-right paradigms (what sort of dilemma is
this?).
Apply the resolution principles (ends-based, rule-based, or care-
based).
Investigate the "trilemma" options (look for common ground or
compromise).
Make the decision.
Revisit and reflect on the decision. (Kidder, 1995, p. 183-187)
Reminder:
Each of the steps for whatever framework that you select
must be a major heading
in the Analysis section of your paper.
Here are some suggested issues for you to consider, the
additional text is designed to help you flesh out the issue:
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.
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.
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.
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?
The Digital Divide:
Does it exist; what does it look like; and, what are the ethical
considerations and impact?
Privacy in the Workplace -
Monitoring Employee Web and E-Mail Use
: What are current opinions concerning the monitoring of
employee computer use. What policies are employers using?
Should this practice of monitoring, be authorized or not?
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 develop and implement digital
health records.
Software Piracy
: How many of you have ever made an unauthorized copy of
software, downloaded software or music (free or for a fee), or
used copyrighted information without giving proper credit or
asking permission? Was this illegal or just wrong? How is this
being addressed?
9
.
Consumer Profiling
: With every purchase you make, every Web site you visit, your
preferences are being profiled. What is your opinion regarding
the legal authority of these organizations to collect and
aggregate this data?
Biometrics & Ethics:
Your fingerprint, retinal-vessel image, and DNA map can exist
entirely as a digital image in a computer, on a network, or in the
infosphere. What new and old ethical problems must we
address?
Social Networking:
What are some of the ethical issues surrounding using new
social networks? How are these now considered for business
use? What are business social communities? Are new/different
protections and security needed for these networks?
Gambling in Cyberspace:
Is it legal? Are there national regulations and/or licensing?
What are the oversight and enforcement requirements? Are there
international implications? What are the social and public
health issues?
Pornography in Cyberspace:
For example, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling protecting as free
speech computer-generated child pornography
Medicine and Psychiatry in Cyberspace:
Some considerations include: privacy issues; security; third-
party record-keeping; electronic medical records; access to
information, even by the patient (patient rights); access to
information by outsiders without patient knowledge; authority
to transfer and/or share information. Are there any policies
proposed by professional organizations?
Counterterrorism and Information Systems:
Your protection versus your rights
Open-source Software versus Closed-source Software:
Ethical ramifications and impact on intellectual property law
Creative Commons Licenses:
How do they work and what are the legal and ethical impacts
and concerns?
Universal ID card:
What is the general position of the U.S. government about
issuing each individual a unique ID card? Which individual U.S.
government agencies have already provided a unique ID card?
What steps have been taken to include individual ID
information electronically in passports? How is privacy and
security provided?
Video Games:
Does playing video games distract from everyday
responsibilities? Do video games correlate with real world
violence? Why do game creators continually increase the
violence of video games? What is video game addiction?
Cyberbullying:
What is cyberbullying and what can be done to stop it?
Net Neutrality:
What is the current position of the federal government and is it
fair to all?

Paper A Application of a decision making framework to an IT-rel.docx

  • 1. Paper A: Application of a decision making framework to an IT- related ethical issue. This assignment is an opportunity to explore and apply a decision making framework to an IT-related ethical issue. A framework provides a methodical and systematic approach for decision making . UMGC Module 2 - Methods of Ethical Analysis (see LEO Content – Readings for week 2) describes three structured frameworks that may be used for ethical analysis, namely Reynolds Seven-Step Approach, Kidder’s Nine Steps, and Spinello’s Seven-Step Process . There are several ways described in UMGC Module 2 to systematically approach an ethical dilemma , and while each of the frameworks described has its merits, each will result in an ethical decision if straightforwardly, objectively, and honestly applied. In addition, consider the ethical theories described in Module 1 – Introduction to Theoretical Ethical Frameworks (see LEO Content – Readings for week 1) which help decision makers find the right balance concerning the acceptability of and justification for their actions. A separate write-up of the ethical theory that supports your decision is part of the following requirements . For this paper, the following five elements must be addressed:
  • 2. Describe a current IT-related ethical issue : Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation, you may want to construct a brief scenario where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job, or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law that affects the general populace. See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a source of ethical dilemmas . Define a concise problem statement that is extracted from the above description or scenario. It is best if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the dilemma . Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law, that it may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take action to implement a solution. Analyze your problem using one of the structured decision-making frameworks chosen from Module 2. Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making framework selected must be used as major headings in the Analysis section. Consider and state the impact of the decision that you made on an individual, an organization, stakeholders, customers suppliers, and the environment, as applicable!
  • 3. State and discuss the applicable ethical theory from Module 1 that supports your decision. Concerning your paper: Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper and submit it to the LEO Assignments Module as an attached Microsoft Word file. Use headings for each topic criteria Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) source citations for all sources you use . In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style. Include a Cover Page with your Name, the UMGC/Name of the Class, and the Title of the Paper. For example, Kidder’s approach has nine steps, which are: Recognize that there is a moral issue. Determine the actor (whose moral issue is it?). Gather the relevant facts. Test for right-versus-wrong issues.
  • 4. Test for right-versus-right paradigms (what sort of dilemma is this?). Apply the resolution principles (ends-based, rule-based, or care- based). Investigate the "trilemma" options (look for common ground or compromise). Make the decision. Revisit and reflect on the decision. (Kidder, 1995, p. 183-187) Reminder: Each of the steps for whatever framework that you select must be a major heading in the Analysis section of your paper. Here are some suggested issues for you to consider, the additional text is designed to help you flesh out the issue: 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. Personal Data Privacy Regulations in Other Countries: Report on personal data privacy regulations, Web site privacy policies, and governmental/law enforcement about access to
  • 5. 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. 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. 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? The Digital Divide: Does it exist; what does it look like; and, what are the ethical considerations and impact? Privacy in the Workplace - Monitoring Employee Web and E-Mail Use : What are current opinions concerning the monitoring of employee computer use. What policies are employers using? Should this practice of monitoring, be authorized or not? 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 develop and implement digital health records. Software Piracy : How many of you have ever made an unauthorized copy of
  • 6. software, downloaded software or music (free or for a fee), or used copyrighted information without giving proper credit or asking permission? Was this illegal or just wrong? How is this being addressed? 9 . Consumer Profiling : With every purchase you make, every Web site you visit, your preferences are being profiled. What is your opinion regarding the legal authority of these organizations to collect and aggregate this data? Biometrics & Ethics: Your fingerprint, retinal-vessel image, and DNA map can exist entirely as a digital image in a computer, on a network, or in the infosphere. What new and old ethical problems must we address? Social Networking: What are some of the ethical issues surrounding using new social networks? How are these now considered for business use? What are business social communities? Are new/different protections and security needed for these networks? Gambling in Cyberspace: Is it legal? Are there national regulations and/or licensing? What are the oversight and enforcement requirements? Are there international implications? What are the social and public health issues? Pornography in Cyberspace: For example, the U.S. Supreme Court ruling protecting as free speech computer-generated child pornography
  • 7. Medicine and Psychiatry in Cyberspace: Some considerations include: privacy issues; security; third- party record-keeping; electronic medical records; access to information, even by the patient (patient rights); access to information by outsiders without patient knowledge; authority to transfer and/or share information. Are there any policies proposed by professional organizations? Counterterrorism and Information Systems: Your protection versus your rights Open-source Software versus Closed-source Software: Ethical ramifications and impact on intellectual property law Creative Commons Licenses: How do they work and what are the legal and ethical impacts and concerns? Universal ID card: What is the general position of the U.S. government about issuing each individual a unique ID card? Which individual U.S. government agencies have already provided a unique ID card? What steps have been taken to include individual ID information electronically in passports? How is privacy and security provided? Video Games: Does playing video games distract from everyday responsibilities? Do video games correlate with real world violence? Why do game creators continually increase the violence of video games? What is video game addiction? Cyberbullying: What is cyberbullying and what can be done to stop it? Net Neutrality:
  • 8. What is the current position of the federal government and is it fair to all?
