ETHICS AND PRIVACY
Ethical Issues
An ethical issue is a situation or problem that calls for a person to choose between two alternatives. An example of an ethical issue is; you are aware that your friend has a mistress and is cheating on his spouse. The wife then talks to you asking if you know if he is seeing someone else. The issue here would be how to respond to her queries without causing any conflict .
Ethical Framework
An ethical framework is a structure of principles that address important ethical responsibilities. Some of the vital ethical responsibilities include being trustworthy, respecting the client's right to be independent, justice and self respect among others
Ethics and Information Technology
Ethics and Information Technology is a peer-reviewed journal dedicated to advancing the dialogue between moral philosophy and the field of information and communication technology (ICT). The journal aims to foster and promote reflection and analysis which is intended to make a constructive contribution to answering the ethical, social and political questions associated with the adoption, use, and development of ICT. Within the scope of the journal are also conceptual analysis and discussion of ethical ICT issues which arise in the context of technology assessment, cultural studies, public policy analysis and public administration, cognitive science, social and anthropological studies in technology, mass-communication, and legal studies. In addition, the journal features research that deals with the history of ideas and provides intellectual resources for moral and political reflection on ICT.
Privacy
"separated from the rest, deprived of something, esp. office, participation in the government", from privo "to deprive", is the ability of an individual or group to seclude themselves or information about themselves and thereby reveal themselves selectively. The boundaries and content of what is considered private differ among cultures and individuals, but share basic common themes. Privacy is sometimes related to anonymity, the wish to remain unnoticed or unidentified in the public realm. When something is private to a person, it usually means there is something within them that is considered inherently special or personally sensitive. The degree to which private information is exposed therefore depends on how the public will receive this information, which differs between places and over time. Privacy partially intersects security, including for instance the concepts of appropriate use, as well as protection of information. Privacy may also take the form of bodily integrity.
