Document Summary
Summary: student learning outcomes revisited: define ethics and describe factors that affect how you make a decision concerning an ethical issue. Ethics are the principles and standards that guide our behaviour toward other people. How you decide ethical issues must depend especially on your basic ethical structure but also for better or worse on the practical circumstances. Your basic ethics you probably acquired growing up. The practical circumstances that you might allow to affect you include. Reach of result: how many people will be affected by your action: define and describe intellectual property, copyright, fair dealing doctrine, and pirated software. Intellectual property is intangible creative work that is embodied in physical form. Copyright is the legal protection afforded an expression of an idea, such as a song or a video game and some types of proprietary documents. The fair dealing doctrine says that you must use copyrighted material in certain situations.
