Document Summary
Ethics: principles of right and wrong that individuals, acting as free, moral agents, use to make choices to guide their behaviour. Information systems raise new ethical questions because they create opportunities for: intense social change, threatening existing distributions of power, money, rights, and obligations. Key trends that raise ethical issues: computing power doubles every 18 months, data storage costs rapidly decline, data analysis advances, networking advances, mobile device growth impact. Information rights and obligations: property rights and obligations, accountability and control, system quality, quality of life. Nora: nonobvious relationship awareness: combining data from multiple sources to find obscure hidden connections that might help identify criminals or terrorists, watch lists, incident and arrest systems, customer transaction systems, telephone record, human resources systems. Identify and clearly describe the facts: define the conflict or dilemma and identify the higher order values involved. Identify the options that you can reasonably take.
