PRELIM

During prelim period our lesson is about computer ethics.

3 properties:
*LOGICAL MALLEABILITY
            -- is the ability of the computer to adopt any changes.
*IMPACT ON SOCIETY
            --changing workplace and the nature of work ; convenience.
*INVISIBILITY FACTOR
            --computer operations are invisible
                  ->INVISIBLE ABUSE - the intentional use of the invisible operations of a computer to engage in unethical conduct; surpassing the limit.
                  ->INVISIBLE PROGRAMMING (VALUES) - it is embedded into a copter program like computer viruses; malicious program.
                  ->INVISIBLE COMPLEX CALCULATION - computer are capable of enormous calculations beyond human comprehension.

                  I learned that computer ethics has no difference with the other kinds of ethics except for their offenses, punishment and approach and we base our judgments by instinct, norms, comon sense and wisdom.

ETHICS -- is the science of morals in human conduct
MORAL -- standards of behavior; good doings

Basis in pursuing action:
* legal and ethical
*not legal but ethical
*not ethical but legal
*not ethical and not legal


TWO THEORIES

* KANTIAN ISM -- is how we behave ethically comes within us
and it has its golden rule "do not do unto others what you don't want others do unto you".

* CONSEQUENTIAL ISM -- talks about the action and the result.

During this discussion we had our Role Play and our last lesson is the PROFESSIONAL
 CODES OF CONDUCT it guides us on how we behave ethically.
