1) What are ethics? For each case, how did you rate it? (For #s 1-7, ethical, unethical, criminal) Why?
-Ethics are society's rules.
1. For case 1, I said unethical because he wasn't supposed to go on the computer for his own free time.
2. For case 2, I said ethical because the programmer was the one who made it and it would be his own work and should be able to give it to anyone he wants.
3. For case 3, I said criminal because the employee wasn't supposed to see any of the information and he didn't have permission.
4. For case 4, I said criminal because he took money from people's accounts WITHOUT them knowing and most of all, he didn't have the bank's permission.
5. For case 7, I said unethical because it would be unethical to write a program that does something bad, even if your job was on the line.
2) What are values? What are your strongest values?
-Values are what you think . My strongest values would be to hear what others have to say before we judge them.
3) In the values shuffle, were you tempted to agree or disagree when you felt the opposite? How does peer pressure work?
-No, not really. I just stood where I thought was right. People feel peer pressure when they feel left out and others want you to join them. There's good peer pressure and bad. Good would be to encourage people to keep studying; bad would be to encourage them to take drugs or to smoke.
4) What are morals? And do ethics and values always match?
-Morals are your rules. And no, ethics and values aren't always the same, everyone is different with different ideas.
5) What are consequences of unethical behavior?
-Depends on what you do. For instance, if you cheated on a test at school, you would probably get detention. If you did something wrong at work, then it would be up to your boss to decide you punishment.
