Information_Technology_And_Ethics_Working_Together

Information Technology And Ethics Working Together As a student studying the Information Technology industry I have never given much thought to the ethical concerns in the industry. The definition of Ethics: The rules or standards governing the conduct of a person or the members of a profession. Ethics to me means that I should perform my work in a professional manner, respect others and what they do. Meaning that software/music that someone else worked hard to create does not mean that I can download it for free. Nor does it mean that I should be able to search through somebody’s personal files on their home pc. It also means that I may not attack companies via the internet because I do not like what they do or what they stand for. Ethics in the IT industry can mean many different things and have many different effects on society. Un-ethical behavior is promoted via the internet and within a lot of IT professional societies. As a student in college I know that there is a lot of software that I would like that I cannot afford. There are music CD’s that I want and there is a curiosity industry, software, un-ethical, companies, download, behavior, student, should, professional, mean, information, home, ethics, via, very, thought, technology, someone, society, need, napster, music, mp3’s, means, lot, knowledge, know, jobs, internet, find, else, easier, different, computer, years
