Cyber Ethics Chapter 1
Chapter: Ethics and the Information Revolution
“Be unselfish. That is the first and final commandment for those
Who would be useful and happy in their usefulness.
If you think of yourself only, you cannot develop
Because you are choking
The source of development, which is spiritual
Expansion through thought for others.”
- Charles William Eliot
What I expect to learn:
I expect to learn things that would help me understand and get the mature thinking
about the revolution of ethics and information technology.
Meaning of the quote:
I selected this quote because the quote is perfect match for the information
revolution. Being selfish would not help anyone. We need to learn how to be unselfish.
We should learn how to appreciate other people as well.
Review:
The Information technology grew. It was a big boom not only today, but also in
the future. Every person wants to be in the trend of the new technology. The trend in
which every person would or is benefiting. Information Technology grows not only a tiny
step day by day. But it takes a giant step forward and it progresses in to more powerful
technology. It’s like foreseeing the future. We create and upgrade everything. There is a
sad part though. People tend to become more greedy this days. As technology grows evil
grows with it. People abuse information technology they create such things as viruses and
spywares that infect other computers that they steal or destroy the other computer. People
need to have the proper state of mind or the proper morality within one self’s. We need to
put the bad side away. We need to improve the ethical attitude of people supporting this
growth.
4
What I learned:
♦ How the information boomed and evolved.

♦ Information technology with values
♦ Information technology of past present and future
♦ What good and bad can happen with information technology.
♦ Being true to oneself eliminates being uneducated with ethics.
Integrative Questions:
1. Why does information rapidly grow?
2. Would this growth stop?
3. What are the four parts of global information ethics?
4. Why are people creating viruses and spywares?
5. Why shouldn’t be software owner ship be allowed according to people like Richard
Stallman?

Chapter: Ethics On-Line
Quote:
“The release of atom power has changed everything

Except our way of thinking.
The solution to this problem lies in the heart of mankind.
If only I had known, I should have become a watchmaker.”
- Albert Einstein
I expect to learn and know what the right and wrong decisions are when
information technology is dissected with ethics.
Meaning of the Quote:
The quotes explains that everything we should do is for the good of mankind. We
should change the way we think. We should be smart enough to know what is helpful to
the world and which is not.
Review:
The chapter discusses the difference between the law, information, and
communication. People can tend to be ethical by following the law. But are we sure that
following that law is ethical? In some cases the law can be determined as a bad part of
morality. Some laws are bad. It depends on how ethics is implemented and it depends on
the culture. The information we get nowadays are so broad. Everywhere you go you
would have a great chance of getting that specific info you would need. Library these
days are things of the past, with the world wide web and cyber world. The information
grows and improves. Before I remember when I was a kid if you need to research you
would have to go to the library, these days open up Mozilla and you would have all the
things you would need in the browser. But what I also noticed people doing those things
are forgetting something. They are forgetting to give credit to the people who did the
work. There forget to give the reference and citation to the author. Same with the
software’s that is being created now. He licensed software’s are being pirated and being
sold by the people of the ghetto market. Like I said information is needed by people
everyday and every moment in order to survive this time in our world.
6
Things that I have learned:
♦ Technology is everywhere.
♦ The three characteristics of communication in networks.
1. What is Variety and what is Consent, what are its differences.

2. What can be beneficial in certain contexts?
3. What is diminished trust?
4. What are the three problems of anonymity?
5. Can Information be reproduced without a loss of value? Explain
7
Chapter: Reason, Relativity, and Responsibility in Computer Ethics
Quote:
“Injustice, poverty, slavery, ignorance –
these may be cured by reform or revolution.
But men do not live only by
fighting evils. They live by positive goals,
individual and collective, a vast variety of them,
seldom predictable, at times incompatible.”
– Isaiah Berlin
What does Reason and Relativity have to with responsibility in Computer Ethics.
The quote explains that Being selfish and doing injustice actions are things we
should avoid in order to have a better life. Men should act like real men, God created us
not to fight not to be selfish. He created us to be a better person knowing united we can
be a better human beings.
Review:
Revolution and evolution sounds so near but yet the meaning so far. These two
words are basically on the opposite side but the meaning may have the same direction or
point. A revolution wants a new beginning. An evolution wants to upgrade into
something new. Information technology is evolving and revolutionizing faster than the
speed of light. We Should know the right things. We should know what the wrongs thing
is and what the right thing is while we are growing. We should set aside the bad deeds in
order for us to win this. We should always be honest. Being greedy nor being selfish
would not help a person. It is better to be a kind hearted and know the good things. Than
being someone elite who is doing something below the table.
8
♦ Information revolution and evolution

♦ Core Values
♦ Responsibility in computer ethics.
♦ Cultural relativism
Integrative Question:
1. What are the possible policies for a website?

2. What are the core values of Computer ethics?
3. Do computer scientists have disagreements?
4. Enumerate responsibilities in computer ethics
5. Respecting the core values of everyone would give standard?
9
Chapter: Disclosive Computer Ethics
Quote:
“A man is ethical only when life, as such,
is sacred to him, that of plants and animals as
that of his fellow men, and when he devotes
himself helpfully to all life that
is in need of help.”
-Albert Schweitzer
Being able to learn ethical principles in which we can use as a professional in the
industry.
Meaning of the quote:
A man should not be selfish. He should learn how to be a person who is willing to
do good things for others. A man’s life is not about himself. It is about ethical things that
happened in his life.
Review:
The chapter is basically about computer ethics. It says the technology should
grow with moral ethics. People would learn to follow policies if they are not only
implemented properly but also if they are given a proper introduction. We need to have
another approach in which ethics would be given a better understanding.
♦ Justice
♦ Autonomy
♦ Democracy
♦ Privacy
♦ Computer ethics
♦ Morality

1. How is democracy defined in the book?

2. Are the limitations of computer ethics justifiable?
3. Give and explain one hidden morality
4. Give the four key values
5. What is disclosive computer ethics?
11
Chapter: Gender and Computer Ethics
Quote:
“Of liberty I would say that, in the whole plenitude

of its extent, it is unobstructed action according to
our will. But rightful liberty is unobstructed action
according to our will within limits drawn around us
by the equal rights of others. I do not add
'within the limits of the law,'
because law is often but the tyrant's will,
and always so when it violates the right of an
individual.”
- Thomas Jefferson
I expect to learn if nowadays discrimination of gender is still in the public and is it

in the information technology sector?
The quote explains that every person has his right to be equal. Every person is the
same as any other individual.
Review:
The chapter tells how gender discrimination still occurs in the information
technology department. It is hard to say what I am about to say because I am a man.
Many men think that women are only good for household work. For me I agree but, if
you make a man work with a woman, the work would be way much better. Women are
not only good at household work but actual work also. We need to learn how to be fair.
Its unethical to discriminate gender.
What I have learned:
♦ Barriers and pipelines in computer ethics

♦ Men and women’s moral decision making
♦ Ethical decisions versus ethical process
♦ Lack of theory
♦ Two strands of gender
12
1. What are the two strands of gender and computer ethics?

2. Why do we need to begin exploring the alternative ethics that feminism can offer
computer ethics?
3. How student population does affect computer ethics?
4. In what two areas do computer ethics have gender implications?
5. What is liberalisms connection in gender issues?
13
Chapter: Is the Global Information Infrastructure a Democratic Technology?
Quote:
“We have, in fact, two kinds of morality side

by side: one which we preach but do not
practice, and another which we practice
but seldom preach.”
- Bertrand Russell
I expect to learn things about Global information infrastructure.
Definition of the quote:
The quote states that a person has two sides. One side is his pride in which he
boasts about which he is so proud. The other side is the side in which when he makes
mistakes it is hidden.
Review:
Values play an important role in information technology. Values are the standards
we follow in everyday life we need to adopt the right values. This is being passed on
from one generation to another generation. We have to know what would be right and
what would be wrong in such actions we do.
♦ Information technology values

♦ Power to many
♦ Joint deliberation
♦ Democracy in information technology
♦ Values embedded in information technology

3. Define embedded values
4. Explain Power to the many
5. Explain how technology and values are alike.

Chapter: Applying Ethical and Moral Concepts and Theories to IT Contexts: Some Key
Problems and Challenges
Quote:
“When we honestly ask ourselves which person in

our lives means the most us, we often find that it
is those who, instead of giving much advice,
solutions, or cures, have chosen rather to share
our pain and touch our wounds with a gentle
and tender hand. The friend who can be silent with
us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can
stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement,
who can tolerate not knowing, not curing, not
healing and face with us the reality of our
powerlessness, that is a friend who cares.”
- Henri Nouwen
I expect to learn how to apply ethics and moralities in information technology

problems.
The quote states that things we do is not for ourselves, things we do is for all the
people we love. There would be no one alone in the world. We have a friend who would
be there when we need him or her.
Review:
We need to apply our lives with ethical thinking. Sometimes we don’t know or we
are just ignorant in doing something wrong. In the software industry sharing is ok as long
as the software maker allows it, but what if it is not. Here come the pirates who sales the
software’s in the black market in order for them to gain money, what happens to the
original maker of the software bankrupt. Profit shares would not go back to them. We
need to learn how to stop if we already have enough. People need to work together in
order for us to have a better information technology life.

17
Chapter: Just Consequentialism and Computing
Quote:
“Justice is itself the great standing policy

of civil society; and any eminent
departure from it, under any circumstances,
lies under the suspicion of being no
policy at all.”
- Edmund Burke
I expect to learn how an individual can act as a man wit ethical thinking in the
information technology world.
Definition of the quote;
The quote says that we cannot change ourselves to a better person if we would not
follow rules regulations that we imply. We need to follow the policies we create in order
for us to be a well organized person.
Review:
I learned that we should be able to nurture the experience we get for us to

determine what concepts or ideas are within our natural state of mind. We should know
the difference of how to do good things and how bad things work. One word RESPECT.
The word respect is perfect for this chapter if we don’t show respect as an information
technology personnel we would not know how to treat a person right with morality and
ethics.
♦ Consequentialism constrained by justice

♦ The good as the enemy of the just
♦ Computing in uncharted waters

1. Define consequentialism?
2. What are the combined notions of human life?
3. What is computing in uncharted waters?
4. If the ends don’t justify the means what would?

Chapter: The Internet as Public Space: Concepts, Issues, and Implications in Public
Policy
Quote:
“To be successful you have to be selfish,

or else you never achieve. And once you
get to your highest level, then you
have to be unselfish. Stay reachable.
Stay in touch. Don't isolate.”
- Michael Jordan
I expect to learn how the internet became a public place.
The quote states that in every action we do we have an intention of doing it for
ourselves only. But once we have done it we should learn not to raise our heads high, we
need to learn how to be humble. If you become rich, learn how to reach out to the poor
people.
Review:
Nobody ones the internet but everyone has his rights over it. The internet is made
for the public, made for everyone in short. The internet not only removes communication
gaps between people but it helps us to learn and understand certain things we need or
want to gain knowledge about. We should always remember that we need to make the
internet a better place for everyone, people who makes the viruses and spywares are
selfish people who wants to destroy the happy community of the internet. Where ethics in
their minds? They don’t have values.
♦ The internet is a big world

♦ Implications in public policy
♦ Uses of internet as a public space

Chapter: The Laws of Cyberspace
Quote:
“The sole end for which mankind are warranted,

individually or collectively, in interfering with
the liberty of action of any of their number,
is self-protection. That the only purpose
for which power can be rightfully exercised
over any member of a civilised community, against his will,
is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either
physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant. He cannot rightfully
be compelled to do or forbear because it will be better for him
to do so, because it will make him happier, because, in the
opinion of others, to do so would be wise, or even right...
The only part of the conduct of anyone,
for which he is amenable to society, is that which
concerns others. In the part which merely concerns
himself, his independence is, of right, absolute.
Over himself, over his own body and mind,
the individual is sovereign.”
To more about cyberspace and the laws implemented in it,
The quote states that everyone, who ever you are wherever you are you have
freedom. You gain it with what actions you do.
Review:
People are starting to disobey rules. One good example is rules implemented in
the cyberspace and in the information technology world. People tend not to follow these
rules because they want to be something other people can not be. People these days are
full of pride in which they grow their heads. I know rules are to be followed, I would be
honest most of the times I don’t follow them, but after realizing that rules are made to
make our world a better place. Not only for me but for everyone also. For us.

Chapter: Of Black Holes and Decentralized Law-Making in Cyberspace
Quote:
“Like almost everyone who uses e-mail,

I receive a ton of spam every day.
Much of it offers to help me get out
of debt or get rich quick. It would
be funny if it weren't so exciting.”
- Bill Gates
I expect to learn and understand the concept of black holes in the cyberspace
The quotes says that everyone is affected by spam and everyone is not safe from
it.
Review:
Why do people spam? People do this in order for them to gain profit. Actually for
me it is already forcing. They forcing people to do this do that blah blah. They are
dictating the lives of people. They shouldn’t be doing dat. They have no moral dignity.
They just endanger people more. What they do is not true or in short fake. Do you think it
is right? Hell no right. People need to stop doing this bad act. As an Information
technology student I know things or methods to ignore this spam. To bad some people are
confused and they get lured to the spam messages they waste money waste time because
of the spam message. This act has to stop.

Chapter: Fahrenheit 451.2: Is Cyberspace Burning?
Quote:
“I used to think that cyberspace was

fifty years away. What I thought
was fifty years away, was only ten
years away. And what I thought was
ten years away... it was already here.
I just wasn't aware of it yet.”
- Bruce Sterling
I expect to learn and adopt the speed of cyberspace
Cyberspace is growing everyday. Technology matures fast. You sleep tonight

with your beloved technology, you wake up tomorrow with a new technology.
Review:
The Cyberspace is burning. Burning because of how fast it improves day in night
out. We think the good technology is the only technology improving in the cyberspace,
but we are wrong. Bad people have gained power and knowledge about this. The half of
the cyberspace is in bad hands. People should learn how to be smart in operating the
cyberspace. I would tell you its becoming nasty, yes nasty because of the scams being
created on it.

Chapter: Filtering the Internet in the USA: Free Speech Denied?
Quote:
“Raise a million filters and the rain

will not be clean, until the longing
for it be refined in deep confession.
And still we hear, If only this
nation had a soul, or, Let us
change the way we trade,
or, Let us be proud of our region.”
- Leonardo Cohen
What does freedom of speech have to do with filtering.
A person would not change no matter what happens unless he really changes.
Same with a nation, if the people living on that nation have a certain attitude it would be
hard to change the attitude of that nation. It is already carved within them it is already
what they call their trade mark.
Review:
People nowadays are bothered by pop-ups, spam and other unwanted things in the
internet like viruses and spy wares. We are invaded by bad people. People who have
selfish desires in which they want to gain the upper hand in life. We need to filter this.
Even if such things are filtered those bad people still find a way to crack the filter. We
should have a law passed that this people should be sent to jail. Its impossible not to find
this people with the technology we have tracking their IP address is one of the solution in
order to catch these filthy people.
What I learned:
♦ Problems with blocking and filtering programs

♦ Mainstream Loudoun
♦ Why filter

Chapter: Censorship, the Internet, and the Child Pornography Law of 1996: A Critique
Quote:
“The peculiar evil of silencing the expression

of an opinion is, that it is robbing the
human race; posterity as well as the
existing generation; those who dissent
from the opinion, still more than
those who hold it. If the opinion is right,
they are deprived of the opportunity of
exchanging error for truth: if wrong,
they lose, what is almost as great a benefit,
the clearer perception and livelier impression
of truth, produced by its collision with error.”
- John Stuart Mill
I expect to learn about censorship on the internet, and some laws.
The quote explains that evil and bad things are happening right now, a good
example is the scamming over the cyberspace we cannot win unless we go on an all out
war against these people who always do bad things such as cyber crimes and illegal
activities. We should have the truth.
Review:
A lot of bad people are taking advantage of the cyber world they are doing illegal
activities in the cyber world. These people are people who take advantage of other
people’s weaknesses. We want our cyber space to be clean and filtered. Do you think this
I right? Child pornography? That’s already over the limit. They have no dignity and
respect.

Chapter: PICS: Internet Access Controls Without Censorship
Quote:
“Although we must change the ways

we protect our country, we must also
guard against policies that appear
attractive but offer little real protection
and may even impede our ability to
protect ourselves.”
- Richard Burr
I expect to learn about Internet Access Controls Without Censorship.
The quote defines that changes alone cannot change something. There should be
dedication and will to change.
Review:
We need to protect the cyber world. We should free them from all the bad things
moving around this place. We ourselves should know what is right and wrong. We
should fight together as a team to fight and prevent this. These people destroying or
creating chaos in our world should be stopped. The most affected would be the youth,
am not saying we are safe. We can also be easy target for them no one is safe. It turned
into an ugly world.

Chapter: Internet Service Providers and Defamation: New Standards of Liability
Quotes:
“Without accepting the fact that

everything changes, we cannot find
perfect composure. But unfortunately,
although it is true, it is difficult for
us to accept it. Because we cannot
accept the truth of transience,
we suffer.”
- Shunryu Suzuki
I expect to gain knowledge on ISP and defamation.
The quote says that we must be ready for change. I know a lot of people
misunderstand change. Change has benefits. Change is needed not only when a bad thing
or things happen. Change is also beneficiary to people who want to improve.
Review:
The chapter says that change is needed. Like what people say change is beneficial
to all of us. We need to improve information technology from further abuse the hackers
and other bad people do. We need to dominate it this time to determine what change we
need to have. We better have this change now, rather than regretting this in the future.

Chapter: Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Quote:
"Only one thing is impossible

for God: to find any sense in
any copyright law on the planet . . .
Whenever a copyright law is
to be made or altered,
then the idiots assemble."
- Mark Twain
I want to gain sufficient knowledge about DMC act.
The quote states that people alter and alter changes made by them, in order to get
new laws about copyright. They cannot be satisfied with what law they make.
Review:
The chapter tells that the digital millennium copyright act would be a better way
to handle copyright laws. This law would be a good idea for all the people who create
and use stuff’s owned by other people. People would learn how to respect others creatin
and appreciate it. Getting other people’s work without giving credit to the creator is not
only stealing but it is also disrespecting the person’s creation or masterpiece.

- Gary Wright
I expect to learn about DECSS Trial.
Definition of the Quote:
The quotes says that technology nowadays are being abused by greedy people. It
is wrongfully used by these people.
Review:
Piracy kills. Have you ever seen the commercial adds against piracy? Or have you
seen Edu Manzano destroying pirated CD’s and DVD’s? Well I have. The world is full
of pirates not only the Somali pirates(sea pirates) we also have the pirates who destroys
industries. Piracy is a very very good example of how the information technology we
have is being abused by people who wants to gain more money. Yes money money
money. That’s what pirates talk about. More profits for them. Sad to say that many
industries are dying because of this.

Chapter: A Politics of Intellectual Property: Environmentalism for the Net?
Quote;
“We could have saved the Earth

but we were too damned
cheap.”
.
- Kurt Vonnegut, Jr.
I expect to learn about Environmentalism for the net.
The quote says that we could have been helpful if we were not too arrogant and
cheap. I can relate the quote to information technology because it matches. We could
have saved earth if we were not cheap, in Information technology we could have saved
the industry if we did not buy cheap CD’s. which we all know are pirated.
Review:
The chapter is almost the same as the previous chapter about piracy, but it added
some extra features, in which you only can get in a original DVD. Just kidding. Well it
actually has added information in which we need to put values in. The environment refers
to the information technology, in which we abuse just like mother earth right?

Quote:
“What a distressing contrast there is

- Sigmund Freud
I expect to gain knowledge in common good, yes I said it common good.
The quote explains that minds can be similar. Even with the age gap. Men can
think like kids, kids can think like men.
Review:
This chapter has connections with the previous chapter and its issues. People steal
nowadays, especially work of other people. There is what we call intellectual property.
This property is being stolen nowadays.

Chapter: Is Copyright Ethical? An Examination of the Theories, Laws,

and Practices Regarding the Private Ownership of Intellectual
Work in the United States.
Quote:
“It is with flowers, as with moral qualities:

the bright-coloured are sometimes
poisonous; but, I believe, never
the sweet-smelling.”
- Augustus William Hare and Julius Charles Hare
I expect to learn if copyright is ethical.
The quotes say that the people we expect to have morals are the persons who
really are hiding their true color.
Review:
The chapter talks about how copyright becomes ethical. It does not become
ethical if you are stealing it. You should be able to give respect to the person you are
getting information at. It is actually disrespecting if you just get them. You have to cite,
give credit and thanks to them. You don’t really need to spend money, just say thank you.
And its free, no more headaches of plagiarism right?

Mr. Fitzgerald, I believe that is

how he spells his name, seems to believe
that plagiarism begins at home.
- Zelda Fitzgerald
I expect to learn about plagiarism matters
The quote is very true and right. Plagiarism starts from our home, actually within
us. It spreads faster than the light.
Review:
This chapters tells me that plagiarism is stealing, disrespecting and killing the
creator of the object. Most of the people lack knowledge about giving citation people
should respect other people’s work. To those who know how to cite the source we should
teach other people about it. We need to stop plagiarism.

Chapter: An Ethical Evaluation of Web Site Linking
Quote:
“I would like us to think about it more

explicitly, and not take our intuitions as
the given of ethics, but rather to
reflect on it, and be more open about the
fact that something is an ethical issues
and thin what we ought to do about it.”
- Peter Singer
I expect to learn about Ethical Evaluation of Web Site Linking.
The quote says that everything has ethics in it. We should no ignore ethics we
should apply it in every aspect we do.
Review:
The chapter explains Website linking and ethical evaluation of it. Deep linking
could be harmful as said in the book. They say that this could lead to advertising
revenues of some people. And do you know who those people are? Drum rolls please…..
the spammers, the virus builders, hackers and the pirates! Hahaha. Those are the people
who would target such things. We need to be aware of the scenario.

Chapter: The Cathedral and the Bazaar
Quote:
“The Roots of Violence:

Wealth without work,
Pleasure without conscience,
Knowledge without character,
Commerce without morality,
Science without humanity,
Worship without sacrifice,
Politics without principles.”
- Mohandas Gandhi
I expect to learn what the cathedral and the bazaar is
The quote says that we don’t get satisfied with what we have, it’s not about a
simple thing being enough. It is about how the simple thing would be enough.
Review:
The chapter tells us the story of the cathedral and bazaar. What I mean is the rise
of Linux as an open source. We should know very well that most of the things we need
nowadays are being paid and its no longer free. That’s why they created the open source.
It helps developers develop and create at the same time helps people who could not
afford programs.

Chapter: Towards A Theory of Piracy for the Information Age
Quote:
“In the information age, you don't

teach philosophy as they did after
feudalism. You perform it.
Aristotle were alive today
he'd have a talk show.”
- Timothy Leary
I expect to learn about the theory of piracy in the information age.
The quote is actually funny but so true. The quote explains that information age is
growing rapidly. If Aristotle was here would have done a talk show like Oprah and The
tonight show. Because of the power of information age.
Review:
The chapter says that information age is really being abused by people.
Information age is supposed to help us. Guide us and make our lives easier. But here
comes the…. Drum rolls please again.. pirates! Argh shiver me timber. Hahaha, well
actually they are the stars of the show. For me if you download a song its ok, but if you
sell it or gain profit from it, that’s piracy already. Learn the difference of sharing and
gaining profit.

Quote:
“ A person is born with desires of the eyes

and ears, and a liking for beautiful
sights and sounds. If he gives way to them,
they will lead him to immorality and lack of
restriction, and any ritual principles and propriety will
be abandoned.”
- Xun Zi
I expect to learn the structure of rights in a directive.
The quote says that every person is being brainwashed by greediness. We should
open our eyes to reality
Review:
The chapter is about restrictions. In the information technology world and in the
real world everything has its restriction. The world wide web is a very very very big
place, did I mention it is really big? I know you get a lot of info and resources from it but
there are restrictions to it. It has limits also.

Quote:
“A book is the only place in which you

can examine a fragile thought without breaking it,
or explore an explosive idea without fear it
will go off in your face. It is one of the few
havens remaining where a man's mind
can get both provocation and privacy.”
- Edward P. Morgan
I expect to learn Privacy Protection, Control of Information, and Privacy-

Enhancing Technologies.
The quote says that a man who enters a certain risk or gamble in his life has no
more privacy. In which a part of his life is gone.
Review:
The chapter explains that privacy is very very important in information

technology. People are being deprived of privacy because of the hackers in the world
wide web. These hackers not only hack you but they get your identity also, this is called
identity theft. When this occurs where does your privacy go?

Chapter: Toward an Approach to Privacy in Public: Challenges

of Information Technology.
Quote:
"Obstacles are like wild animals.

They are cowards but they will
bluff you if they can. If they see
you are afraid of them... they are liable
to spring upon you; but if
you look them squarely in the eye,
they will slink out of sight."
- Orison Swett Marden
I expect to learn the approach to privacy in public.
The quote is true. You have to face you challenges without fear. For every
challenge you go thru, easy way or hard way you get a valuable experience which you
can cherish for the rest of your life.
Review:
The chapter basically talks about challenges information technology is facing in

the real world. Information technology is facing a lot of challenges and it is not easily
backing down. The main challengers are the pirates, hackers and spammers. The
challenge is protecting the privacy of each individual from these people.

of life for men to see by. The saint is the
man who walks through the dark paths
of the world, himself a light.”
- Felix Adler
I expect to learn KDD
The quotes explains that we as an individual can change something. We don’t

need publicity in everything good we do. We need to be simple and helpful.
Review:
We all know that we are not supposed to be selfish. But in some cases we need to
in order for us to protect our privacy. We need this protection badly. If this selfish
method works for the information technology world why not share it right? Like they say
be selfish now, and share in the appropriate time. You become selfish for the sake of
others; you share what you learned for the sake of others. We need to fight the cyber
crimes together and stop it and prevent it from creating more chaos.

“I love those who can smile in trouble,

who can gather strength from distress,
and grow brave by reflection.
Tis the business of little minds to shrink,
but they whose heart is firm, and whose
conscience approves their conduct,
will pursue their principles unto death.”
- Leonardo da Vinci
I expect to learn things about data mining and privacy.
The quote says that we need to gain strength and knowledge. But we still need to
have ethic and a proper conduct.
Review:
The chapter talks about data mining. So what is data mining for me? It is when
you get date which you would need. This data are useful to you. Its almost the same with
data gathering. The difference is in data mining you will use all your data. It is basically
thinking and loading up your mind with information’s.

Quote:
“It seems to limit you; when you're

in a small cell under somebody's
supervision and surveillance.”
- Jack Vance
I expect to learn what work place surveillance is
The quotes is true, people are watching you at work, because they want to make
sure everything is still private.
Review:
The chapter says that companies have rights in watching their employee’s. They
do this in order for them to make sure that their information’s would not go to the wrong
hands of the cyber criminals. They are doing it to keep the information safe. Quite
frankly it’s ok to me. Because what if a information goes out and it gets leaked the
company is doomed.

then all you become is very good at
shooting the wrong way. Get
the fundamentals down and the
level of everything you do will rise.”
- Micheal Jordan
I expect to learn varieties of informational wrongdoing.
The quote can relate to the information technology world. How? Its simple you
practice false programming, or you practice hacking and spamming people. Think about
it if you doing it to help other people. How many would benefit? A lot
Review:
The chapter is about wrongdoings. People in the cyber world are affected by the
wrong doings of other people. We should learn the right fundamentals and use it in a
right manner; we should be smart enough to help other people than doing a wrong deed.

The quotes states that each individual has his right to have his privacy where ever,
whenever he wants.
Review:
This chapter tells me how American defines privacy. They define it in a simple
term as long as you don’t’ cross the line it is ok. Now a day’s people are abusing other
peoples life. They are messing them even in cyberspace. Some of the new Web 2.0 sites

not be complete, you get education but you don’t complete it its bad.

by drawing on three case studies. One involves cookies and informed consent in web
browsers; the second involves HDTV display technology in an office environment;
and the third involves user interactions and interface for an integrated land use,
transportation, and environmental simulation. We conclude with direct and practical
suggestions for how to engage in Value Sensitive Design.

from restricted use. Moreover, compensation can occur at both the level of the act and
at the level of the institution.

both theories. We have also seen how RALC can respond to two kinds of potential
objections from critics.However,muchmore needs to be said aboutRALCand the role
it plays in protecting privacy.We revisit the RALC theory in Section 6.5.3, where we
examine some proposals for framing comprehensive policies that protect informational
privacy.
Concept and theories.
Review:
This chapter talks about privacy. A person is eligible to have privacy whenever he
wants to have it. It could be with his work or his life. When a person is not in public he is
in private mode. Actually privacy may also tackle information about that person.
♦ THE CONCEPT OF PRIVACY

♦ Unitary, Derivative, and Cluster Definitions of Privacy
♦ Interest-Based Conceptions Versus Rights-Based Conceptions of
Privacy
♦ FOUR DISTINCT KINDS OF PRIVACY:
PHYSICAL/ACCESSIBILITY, DECISIONAL,
PSYCHOLOGICAL/MENTAL, AND INFORMATIONAL
PRIVACY
♦ Privacy as Nonintrusion Involving One’s Physical Space:
Physical/Accessibility Privacy
♦ Privacy as Nonintrusion/Noninterference Involving One’s Thoughts
and One’s Personal Identity: Psychological/Mental Privacy

Chapter: Online Anonymity
Quote:
Whatever be the purpose(s) of a given instance of anonymity, it raises the issue of

accountability, whatever other issues, such as attribution bias, noted above, may be
involved or at stake. We might label the issue of accountability the Ring of Gyges
scenario. In Plato.s parable,48 Gyges finds a ring that makes him invisible whenever he
wears it. (I.m not suggesting that we rely on magical means of anonymizing; rather I
am suggesting that Plato.s parable makes vivid the risk in anonymity.) Plato.s point is
that the successfully unjust (immoral or unethical) person seeks and relies on strategies
that enable her to avoid accountability for her actions. The Ring of Gyges scenario is
when someone.s ability to be invisible—anonymous—allows unethical or criminal
action with impunity.
To know what is online anonymity
Review:
The chapter talks about the anonymity of a person, in which his real identity is
hidden. The technology nowadays could really help a lot of people. But cybercrime is
also up and we need to be careful with the anonymous person we see online.

Chapter: Ethical Issues Involving Computer Security: Hacking, Hacktivism, and

Counterkacking
Quote:
One of the key issues in evaluating whether an act of hacktivism is morally justified
is the extent to which the act harms the interests of innocent third parties. In thinking
about this issue, it is important to reiterate that the context being assumed here is a
morally legitimate democratic systemthat protects the right of free expression and thus
affords persons a variety of avenues for expressing their views that do not impact the
interests of innocent third parties.
Ethical issues involving computer security.
Review:
Well the pirates, spammer, bad hackers are the unethical persons in this chapters.
They are people who are abusing information technology. The world wide web would be

Chapter: Information Ethics and the Library Profession
Quote:
At the center of the librarian.s commitment to humanity.s search for truth and
understanding is the goal of remaining always neutral in the battle of competing ideas.
No matter how precious to us any faith or philosophy or social movement might be, we
have to keep our distance and maintain our impartiality as we help to insure that all the
people can hear all the arguments and establish for themselves what is right or true.’

Chapter: Ethical Interest in Free and Open Source Software
Quote:
The social pressure in the open source community to avoid code forking provides
incentives for project leaders to ensure that the code is the best it can be. On the
contrary, when an open source developer believes there is too much risk associated
with a particular piece of code, he/she can rewrite it and release it. Although there is a
reputation risk in doing so, there is the opportunity to publicly demonstrate that the
forked product is superior
I want learn about ethical interest in free and open source software.

Chapter: Internet Research Ethics: The Field and Its Critical Issues
Quote:
A key decision for Internet researchers is often disciplinebased,

that is, do we treat our “subjects” as subjects (as is characteristic of the social
sciences) and thereby invoke familiar human subjects protections, and/or do we treat
our “subjects” as posters, as authors (as is characteristic of the humanities)? If the latter
is the case, then far from emphasizing the need for anonymity and confidentiality, we
are rather dealing with posters who intend to act as public agents online.
I expect to learn Research ethics and its critical issues:
Review:

Chapter: Health Information Technology: Challenges in Ethics, Science, and Uncertainty
Quote:
To ask if a computer diagnosis increases (or decreases) the risk of diagnostic or other
error is in part to ask whether it will improve patient care. If the answer is that, on
balance,
the tool increases (the risk of) diagnostic error, then we should say it would be unethical
to use it. Significantly, though, what is sought here is an empirical finding or a reasoned
judgment—where such a finding is often lacking or even methodologically hard to come
by; or where such a judgment is based on inadequate epistemic support, at least
according to standards otherwise demanded to justify clinical decisions. . . This means
that we are pressed to answer an ethical question (Is it acceptable to use a decision
support system?) in a context of scientific uncertainty (How accurate is the system?).
Many challenges in contemporary bioethics share this feature, namely, that moral
uncertainty parallels scientific or clinical ignorance. (Goodman, 2007, p. 129).
What I expect to learn
I expect to gain knowledge on challenges in ethics.
Review:
The chapter talks about how the information technology is doing, updating

Chapter: Ethical Issues of Information and Business
Quote:
Ethical issues enter the debate when the justifications of a possible right to be left
alone (Britz, 1999; Velasquez, 1998) are discussed. In principle, these can be divided
into two streams of debate: one that is concerned with data about customers, the other
which deals with privacy of employees. Companies usually have more power over
their employees than their customers. The arguments in defense of employee privacy
are therefore based on stronger ethical concerns. Within the debate about employee
privacy, one can distinguish three groups of reasons for its support. They deal primarily
with the individual person, with society, and with economic considerations.
I expect to learn ethical issues in information and business
Review:
Business ethics is tackled in this chapter. It is shoed how business woks with
ethics, how you need ethics in business. You would need privacy in running a business
you would need to make you customers details private.

Chapter: Responsibilities for Information on the Internet
Quotes:
Many problems regarding reliability of online information on the Internet are not
problems of information lacking reliability, but of receivers misperceiving or not
perceiving (un-) reliability. In order to pave thewayto discussing this issue, I will, first,
givesome attention to the dimensions of functionality and significance of information.
These dimensions introduce the users perspective.
I expect to learn about responsibilities of information on the internet
Review:
The chapter talks about responsibilities for information on the internet, right? But
are these responsibilities being done? A lot of people are abusing information in the
internet. They use it to destroy and harm other people. They use it to gain money illegally
from other people. They make information over the internet unsafe.
♦ CONDITIONS OF RESPONSIBILITY
♦ ISPs AND CLEARLY HARMFUL OR OFFENSIVE
INFORMATION
♦ INFORMATION IN GENERAL
♦ THE RESPONSIBILITIES INVOLVED
♦ (1) The creation of new credibility-conferring systems, such as
certification systems, allowing us to use pedigree criteria with regard
to (online) information, when such systems are lacking.
♦ (2) Raising the visibility of indicators or markers of reliability of
information

Chapter: Virtual Reality and Computer Simulation
Quote:
Virtual reality and computer simulation will continue to present newchallenges for
ethics because newand more advanced applications are still being developed and their
use is more and more widespread. Moreover, as has been argued, virtual environments
can mimic manyof the properties of real life and, therefore, contain manyof the ethical
dilemmas found in real life. It is for this reason that they will continue to present
new ethical challenges not only for professional developers and users but also for
society at large.
I expect to learn Virtual reality and computer simulation:

Chapter: Genetic Information: Epistemological and Ethical Issues
Quote:
But it was not until 1977 that robust and generally applicable sequencing methods
were developed, and even then the modern bioinformatics techniques of gene
discovery was still years away. Although the development of information/processing
by computers proceeded contemporaneously with progress in research into biological
and biochemical information processing, the trajectories of these two initiatives were
never unified even if they sometimes overlapped at various points.
I want to learn details about Epistemological and Ethical Issues

Chapter: A Practical Mechanism for Ethical Risk Assessment—A SoDIS Inspection
Quote:
This quantitative approach is utilitarian. The risks that are addressed are those with
the highest risk exposure. All consequences are given dollar values. Even qualitative
risks are turned into a numerical hierarchy (McFarland, 1990). The resulting risk of the
September 11 disaster was calculated in terms of the number of deaths that occurred on
that day or lifetime dollar earnings potential of those who died.

Chapter: Information Overload
Quote:
Much of this linguistic transparency seems to have come from the meaning of the
word “overload,” and its root word “load.” The Oxford English Dictionary defines
“load” as “That which is laid upon a person, beast, or vehicle to be carried; a burden.
Also, the amount which usually is or can be carried; e.g., cart-load, horse-load,
wagon-load,” and it defines “overload” as “An excessive load or burden; too great a
load; the condition of being overloaded.” These core meanings speak to the recognition
that a person or an animal (or by extension, a device such as a cart or wagon) is
capable of carrying physical materials and second, that this capacity is finite and can
be exceeded.
I expect to learn about how information overloads.
Review:
Information overload is when a certain topic is taught to you or you learn in by

yourself and at a certain point you don’t’ get what you are studying because you got pre
occupied with the first topic and you are getting confused with the information being
given to you, that’s information overload. To much at the moment.

Chapter: Email Spam
Quote:
The struggle against unwanted emails will continue. Ethical analysis can be
useful in analyzing emerging strategies of email senders and email recipients. In
these analyses, ethicists must be careful to look at individual stakeholders as well
as systematic stakeholders; both micro- and macroissues are important. All such
analyses should start with a clear exposition of the characteristics of the emails that
will be considered “spam.” Only then can we discuss with precision the ethics of
spam.
What I expect to learn;
Spam prevention and safety
Review
Since we are at information age, the smarter the spammers are these days, they
know how to attack you, insurance, car load and other explicit things. Its really annoying
at one point you want to destroy your email. But the spam folder sometimes misses the

Chapter: Censorship and Access to Expression
Quote:
Fundamental interests in communicating with others, both as speakers and as

hearers. In addition, we have a fundamental interest in accessing expressions based
on individual and collective deliberative and informational interests. Notice that the
focus here is on the primary importance of the capacity of persons to communicate
with each other, rather than on the interest in the freedom of the speaker to speak.
Standard discussions of free expression focus almost exclusively on the importance
of person.s freedom to engage in acts of expression. However, it is less often noted
that such expressions are fundamentally acts of communication. If persons do not
have the right to receive information so expressed, the act of communication is
prohibited.

equal with the other person. Everybody has the same rights, male female or of the third
kind. Its ethical to give respect. We should know how to blend with people. After all they

Actually they pay the ‘poverty penalty’ of up

to 5 - 25 times; a result of local monopolies,
inadequate access, poor distribution, and strong
traditional intermediaries.
What I expect to learn;
I expect to learn the market at the bottom of the pyramid
Review:
It is quite shocking that the bottom of the pyramid spends a lot more money that
the people at the top. The bottom pyramid has been monopolized and those people
capitalized on their weaknesses. For me if you should target the ghetto market you should
make a reasonable price, I noticed they paid more which is not fair for them.
‘poverty penalty’
Density of urban settlements
The challenge lies in making
aspirational products affordable.
they are rapidly exploiting the benefits of information networks.
Creating the capacity to consume
•Needs to be accessed differently
Small unit packs, single-serve
Innovative purchase schemes (credit)
3 simple principles:

5. describe density in urban settlemen

Chapter: Products and Services for the BOP
Quote:
Product development must start from a deep

understanding of functionality, not just form;
marginal changes to products for non-BOP markets
will not do
I expect to learn different innovative products and services at the bottom of the
pyramid.
Review:
It is discussed here that if you were to start a business you should know which
area you should target. You should find your target market by determining what they
want and need. You can determine it by asking canvassing and surveying. Try to
place it in a reasonable price, not to high not to low. I would use that motive if I were
to start my own business
What I have learned
1. Price performance
2. Innovation: hybrids
3. Scale of operations
4. Sustainable development: eco-friendly
5. Identifying functionality: is it different?
6. Process innovations
7. Deskilling of work
8. Education of customers
9. Designing for hostile infrastructure
10.Interfaces
11. Distribution: accessing the customer
12.Challenging conventional wisdom
146
1. What are the 12 principles of BOP markets?

Chapter: BOP: A Global Opportunity
Quote:
We have grown literally afraid to be poor. We despise anyone who elects to be poor
in order to simplify and save his inner life. If he does not join the general scramble
and pant with the money-making street, we deem him spiritless and lacking in
ambition. ~William James
I expect to learn to take advantage of a global opportunity
Review:
This chapters thinking is they would target an opportunity to capitalize on it. Its
like a change why would you let go if it is already. You have to target what people
want and need. A lot of people would not go for the expensive product, but I gurantee
you they would go for the replica.

Chapter: The Ecosystem for Wealth Creation
Quote:
The poverty of our century is unlike that of any other. It is not, as poverty was before,
the result of natural scarcity, but of a set of priorities imposed upon the rest of the world
by the rich. Consequently, the modern poor are not pitied...but written off as trash. The
twentieth-century consumer economy has produced the first culture for which a beggar is
a reminder of nothing. ~John Berger
I expect to learn about the safety of the ecosystem for wealth creaton.
Review:
This chapter tells that companies are not friendly with the environment. These
company gain big money but what happens to the nature? Nothing the nature is just
destroyed while they are sitting home gaining money and enjoying themselves. Some sell
low quality product. They should satisfy the customer with cleanliness.

The Fortune at the Bottom of the Pyramid chapter 5
Chapter: Reducing Corruption: Transaction Governance Capacity
Quote:
However mean your life is, meet it and live it: do not shun it and call it hard names.
Cultivate poverty like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new
things, whether clothes or friends. Things do not change, we change. Sell your clothes
and keep your thoughts
. ~Henry David Thoreau
I expect to learn how to reduce corruption
Review:
The corruption scheme it never goes away. This chapter explains why corruption
should be terminated in order to make the government more trustable. We know that
poverty starts from corruption if we prevent it we may have a better future.

Chapter: Development as Social Transformation
Quote:
For each new morning with its light,

For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food, for love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.
~Ralph Waldo Emerson
I expect to learn development in social transformation.
Review;
The chapter discusses the development of the BOP. If you start the business you
would have to target the lower part of the crowd. You should get close to the crowd and
you should get to know the people on the bottom. You must have balance between the
pyramid, but target the poor area but you have to give a reasonable price.
BOP consumers upgrade

private sector and the BOP
rural income distribution

Integrative Question;
