1. Which of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines do you think students violate most often?

Students may access or invade someone's privacy by sharing personal information and details that they find.

2. Why do you think these violations occur?

Students can often be influenced by their peers or social norms, that support these violations and they don't realize the harm they are actually causing.

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

I think what could be done is, maybe promoting ethical behavior more and giving more awarness to these problems so students can learn the cause and affect.
