Q1. Which of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines do you think students violate most often? Q2. Why do you think these violations occur?

The commandments against using a computer for theft and against using proprietary software without payment may be regularly broken by students because they are sometimes seen as simpler or less serious offenses

Q3. What do you think could be done to reduce or eliminate such unethical behavior?

Educational institutions should concentrate on developing an ethical computing culture through awareness programs, incorporating ethical considerations into the curriculum, and encouraging candid conversations about the repercussions of unethical behavior to lessen or eradicate such ethical behavior. Students' ethical values can also be ingrained by stressing the value of integrity and professional responsibility in the field.
