One that you may be familiar with - is email private?  Not at work (your boss is legally allowed to look at your emails on his business machinery because he is legally responsible for their content).  How 'bout at home?  A court order can allow anyone to look at them (to the extent of the court order).  Are your telephone conversations private?  Is messaging private?  If you work for the phone company and have the knowledge and means to eavesdrop, should you?  Suppose you overheard something to your advantage such as a stock tip?  If you're the engineer, should you leave a 'back-door' into the network for later use?  Basically, don't do something that you wouldn't feel comfortable defending in front of a judge.

One of the backbones of any organization is the reliability of their members, whether those members are employees of a company, office holders in a political party or volunteers in a charity.\n\nSome recent examples of lack of ethics that affected major organizations are the sex scandals surrounding Catholic priests and Congressmen, corporate officers greed in the Enron Corp. and misuse of 9/11 funds by the Red Cross.\n\nTherefore, every organization must have it members adhere to strict ethical standards or risk negative effects of publicity.  This is especially true of organization that are ordinarily targets of political or media attention.

Workplace Ethics are defined by kind of work that is in hand apart from Ehtics that are applicable in CIVIL society. There are many organization that offer workplace ethics training and while browsing some of their values I tend to believe in following.\n\n1. Professionalism, \n2. Accountability, \n3. Avoidance of harassment and discrimination, \n4. Occupational health and safety, \n5. External communications to shareholders, clients and the public, \n6. The balance between transparency and openness on the one hand and confidentiality on the other, \n7. Community relations, \n6. Responsible business practice (prohibitions on bribery, gifts, nepotism, self-dealing), and even \nbusiness goals (such as becoming market leader). \n\n\nGo to following link to read nice article.

Overview\n\nIn many ways electronic privacy and corporate rights in the workplace are related and dissimilar.  A person’s privacy should extend throughout his or her life, from the privacy of his or her home to the professional environment of the workplace.  Privacy involves the right to exercise control over your personal information.  Privacy protection imposes restrictions on the collection, storage, use, and dissemination of personal information.  Electronic or “new surveillance” is more extensive, decentralized, involuntary, and invisible.  Electronic privacy is posed largely as a problem on the Internet.  Expectations of privacy in the workplace may not be the same as elsewhere.  Employees are not necessarily entitled to a reasonable expectation of privacy in the workplace, particularly in the context of nonoccupational activities. \nEase of Surveillance Today\n\nPowerful computers and high-speed networks simplify the electronic monitoring and tracking of people’s activities.\n·        Computers have removed the ability for individuals to control the ways personal information is used\n·        A gradual erosion of privacy has begun to evolve and effects of the “little brother” is taking over electronic interactions\nElectronic Privacy Information Center (EPIC)\n\nEPIC is a public interest research group that advances civil liberties in the electronic age\n\nEPIC Model Privacy Code for the National Information Infrastructure:\n·        The confidentiality of electronic communications should be protected\n·        Privacy considerations must be recognized explicitly in the provision, use, and regulation of telecommunications services\n·        The collection of personal data for telecommunications services should be limited to the extent necessary to provide the service\n·        Service providers should not disclose information without the explicit consent of service users\n·          Service providers should be required to make known their data collection practices to service users\n·           Users should not be required to pay for routine privacy protection\n·        Additional costs for privacy should be imposed only for extraordinary protection\n·        Service providers should be encouraged to explore technical means to protect privacy\n·        Appropriate security policies should be developed to protect network communications\n·        A mechanism should be established to ensure the observance of these principles\nInternet\n\nRules of conduct now found in legislation will not be sufficient to protect privacy.  Microsoft, the giant software company stunned the business world when it announced that it would not sell data about customers to MSN.  From internet interactions, privacy policies will be heavily discussed and new privacy policies will emerge.\n·        The existing Internet builds upon existing communications networks\n·        Computers sift through names, addresses, and telephone numbers provided by company sponsors to generate lists for businesses and marketing efforts\n·        New policies will extend the privacy laws that are already in existence in other countries\nOnline Networks\n\nOnline privacy is currently a heated topic.  Interest in privacy and other consumer issues in cyberspace have become very important topics.  Consumer education is essential to protection consumer privacy in online environments.  The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will address the following issues for online networks:\n·        Consumer expectations for their personal and transactional information\n·        Consumer control over personal and transactional information\n·        Appropriate users of consumer information, including transactional and personality profile information by online service providers and content providers\n·        Consumer consent requirements\n·        Access and correction opportunities for personal information on the nets\nWorkplace Privacy\n\nPrivacy in the wor

Ethics are action that are fair. Now have to deceived what is fair in any action you do. You can always guide people if they are not fair in their action.

A good example of an ethical dilemma would be a young girl who falls pregnant after beind raped and has to decide whether to keep the baby or not, knowing how it was conceived and the fact that she is not ready to have a child.  But what about the life of the unborn and innocent child?\n\nThat is what they call an ethical dilemma!

Good Security eng. and hackers are excellent programmers with all round exceptional programming skills.\nIf you become skilled enough in that area, u will not have to ask ...\nHacking – ethical or not is just a side effect of Very Comprehensive Knowledge! And Illegal! \n...Beside other reasons such “professionals” may have…?????!\nCheers

INTRODUCTION\n\nAlthough I have a deep personal and professional interest in the Internet, I had never really thought of the Internet as an ethical issue until I was first contacted – by e-mail, of course – by Professor Marc Le Menestrel.\n\nMarc is both Assistant Professor of Management at the University Pompeu Fabra in Barcelona, Spain and visiting Professor of Business Ethics at the international business school of INSEAD [click here] at Fontainebleau, just outside Paris, France.\n\nAt the time that he first contacted me, Marc was in Singapore which is the newly-opened Asia campus of INSEAD. Together with his senior colleague Professor Henri-Claude de Bettignies, he was running a 16-session course with the intriguing title: "Individual, Business & Society: The Ethical Dilemma”. One of the sessions was called “Who should regulate the Internet?” and this session was focussed on a case study of the LICRA vs Yahoo! legal action in France.\n\nSubsequently, I visited the main INSEAD campus at Fontainebleau, talked with Professors de Bettignies and Le Menestrel, and gave a videotaped interview of the Yahoo! case to Marc Le Menestrel and his American colleague Mark Hunter.\n\nThis exchange has led me to think much more about the issue of Internet ethics. Is it an oxymoron, like ‘military intelligence’ or ‘English cuisine’, or is it simply common sense and, in that sense, an orthodoxy?\n\nThis paper examines three related issues:\n\n    * What is the Internet and how does its past development and current operations relate to questions of ethics?\n\n    * Is there a place for ethics on the Internet and, if so, how would this manifest itself?\n\n    * What does the LICRA vs Yahoo! legal case tell us that is relevant to the debate about Internet ethics? \n\nWHAT IS THE INTERNET?\n\nIt is essential to start with some understanding of the history and the nature of the Internet.\n\nWhere did it come from?\n\n    * The Internet started life in 1969 as the US Department of Defense’s Advanced Research Projects Agency network (known as ARPAnet). It was designed to provide a distributed, flexible and self-healing command network which would enable the US military to continue operating even if Soviet military missiles took out certain geographical locations on the network.\n\n    * Following its creation as a network for the American military, the Internet – as it became called – evolved into a network for the American academic community, starting with universities and then spreading outwards.\n\n    * Newsgroups, where most child pornography on the Net is located, and chat rooms, where children are most vulnerable to approaches by paedophiles, followed the evolution of the ARAPnet into the Internet, but preceded and are independent of the World Wide Web.\n\n    * In 1989, what is now arguably the most popular feature of the Internet, the World Wide Web, was developed by the British scientist Tim Berners-Lee during his time at CERN in Switzerland.\n\n    * If there was one year in which the Web could be said to have taken off, it was in 1993, when the number of users doubled and the Internet really entered media consciousness and public debate. Today there are around 400 million Internet users world-wide. \n\n[For a much more detailed history of the Internet, see the Hobbes Internet Timeline click here]\n\nWhat are the implications of this evolution for the ethics debate?\n\n   1. The distributed nature of the Internet – based on packet switching and the routing and rerouting of packets along multitudinous networks and nodes – makes any central control of the medium impossible, even if it was thought desirable.\n\n   2. The Internet was developed originally for military and then academic purposes. As originally conceived and used, it was a closed network with specific uses and functions and therefore, initially at least, never provoked a debate about ethical issues in the way that cinema or radio or television

it is most definitely not ethical.  it is scandalous.  now, are you aware that much of the stuff aimed at gr6 gr7 is actually aimed at mainstream consumer.  that is the age that business considers most readers of advertising to be.\nbrainwashing techniques by contually repeating ads is not ethical either.  I wonder how much of what we consider necessary for life and happiness is advertising generated.  it is dictating what we need and want.

Being in the communications field for some time, I can tell you for sure that opportunities are there that you can't even imagine.\n\nLet me start off by telling you that your experience level as a whole is low but, you are in the right place. Ultimately, you need to be thinking in terms of an IT director type position. Part of that direction requires some management experience that only comes with management experience... Weird huh? lol!\nMany of the people I work with, only have a A+ certification but know much more about the computer world (as many do today). In business, an in depth understanding of WAN/LAN is large and, although many network people are admitted experts they only have one piece of the puzzle. You will need to build beyond that mentality in order to expand in the business.\n\nFor example, when a network technician tells me that they have insured, or know they have redundancy my first question is whether it's electronic or physical or both? If they are aware of layer one (physical layer) they have a notch up on the competition. If they have any OSP knowledge they make themselves more valuable. \nThe reaction speaks volumes for the person! Also, today's environment puts IT and Telecommunications in the same boat. May not be good but it's reality. IT people have a hard time wondering where teleco starts and the network begins and the other way around. A solid IT professional will have a good grasp on the in and outs of telecom and network.
