Question #1: Which of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines do you think students violate most often?
- I believe that students violate Commandment #10 the most often that states "Thou shalt always use a computer in ways that ensure consideration and respect for your fellow humans."
Question #2: Why do you think these violations occur?
- I think that these violations occur because of all the social media applications that are out there today. Because people are communicating behind a screen, bullying has become a lot more prevalent. Students will use social media, such as Twitter or Facebook, to post messages with offensive language, make false accusations about somebody, or release private information about someone. The Internet is a place where anybody can post anything they want and often times, people abuse this privilege by posting hurtful things. There are also little consequences for these actions because it is being done online rather than in person.
Question #3: What do you think could be done to reduce or eliminate such unethical behavior?
- I think that it will be tough to regulate this behavior, however, there are a few ways to potentially reduce it. One option is to make sure all reports are seen and dealt with properly. Many times, people report a post on social media only to receive no response from the developer. A lot of times, these reports are serious and the fact that they are often ignored needs to be changed. Another option is to have consequences for people who are not respectful on the Internet. Depending on the severity, legal actions could take place, but people need to learn that although we have free speech, the Internet is not a place to be disrespectful towards other people. More consequences for people's actions should limit the negative comments.
