Computer Ethics
- Computer ethics is a part of practical philosophy concerned with how computing
decisions regarding professional and social conduct.

They are attempts, in other words, to tell a single “story” about what we are obligated
to do, without referring directly to specific examples.

 Theoretical framework

research study. The theoretical framework introduces and describes the theory that

Ubuntu
Ubuntu is an ancient African word meaning 'humanity to others'. It also means 'I am
what I am because of who we all are'. The Ubuntu operating system brings the spirit of
Ubuntu to the world of computers. Ubuntu's original name was, and I'm serious, "no-
name-yet.com"

One meaning of Ubuntu is correct behavior, but correct in this sense is defined by a


person's relations with other people. Ubuntu refers to behaving well towards others or
acting in ways that benefit the community. Such acts could be as simple as helping a
stranger in need, or much more complex ways of relating with others. A person who
behaves in these ways has ubuntu.

2. Your own rationale for computer ethics


Robert Barger suggested that computer ethics can be grounded in one of four basic
philosophies: Idealism, Realism, Pragmatism, or Existentialism.
Assumption and Values

1. Valuing, judgements of valuableness, and values provide reasons for actions and
choice.
They guide choices and enter into deliberation by providing at least a partial ordering
of persons, acts, rules, institutions, experiences, objects, etc.

2. We argue about values, judgements of valuableness, and whether certain valuing are
correct. We often charge another’s values, value judgements, and valuing as wrong,
ill-founded, or inappropriate in some way.

3. We often agree to differ about values, their judgements, and valuing. Furthermore,
we can also believe that people can disagree and differ on question surrounding value
and be able to correctly maintain that neither person is mistaken.

4. Values are often considered to be chosen.

5. valuing is a result of one’s emotions and/or also comes from one’s desire and volition.
