Ethical and Social Issues in Information Systems

In its basic form, a typical RFID system has two major components, a reader and tags, as shown in Figure 3.1. These tags are made from a tiny chip, also called an integrated circuit (IC), that is connected to an antenna that can be built into many different kinds of tags including apparel hang tags, labels, and security tags, as well as a wide variety of industrial asset tags. The tag chip contains the product's electronic product code (EPC) and other variable information so that it can be read and tracked by RFID readers anywhere(Impinj 2015).

Legal and ethical issues in computing are not as straight forward as one expects, these two comprehensive concepts can be divided into many sub-sections such as computer Ethics which is a moral standard used as a guideline for computer users, Code of ethics is a guideline in ICT, intellectual property is the own work that is created by individuals, privacy refers to the rights that individual and companies have and how their data is collected and restricted to outside sources, computer crime is an illegal act that involves computers and finally cyber law which is laws that are related to helping protect the internet and other online communication.

Ethical issues and the use of Personally Identifiable Information in computer systems, applications, and the internet.

Do you think people believe that ethical systems are important to the world, or do you believe you have to actually learn about it to understand? The main focus of this paper is to better understand the ethical system. Ethical system is defined as beliefs of being right or wrong; it can be from religious values or even personal experiences. The topics I will focus on is teleological, then talk a little about the differences between deontological and teleological. Secondly, my current ethical system that best fits me. Third, major influence in my life that pushed me into my specific ethical system. Fourth, my current career plans, Firth ethical issues associated with my profession, and lastly, examples of specific ethical dilemmas that professionals in my career path have to face. Based on the ethical system we have discussed in class is ethic of care.

Q1. Describe one key legal issue and one key ethical issue that concern most organizations as they seek to take full advantage of the Internet.

A “moral operating system” is essentially a formulated structure that would be implemented to influence individual and group decision-making about how to develop and use technology. The government has the capability to gather large amounts of information from people simply based on their Internet habits and patterns. This information is usually used with the knowledge and consent of these users. The overall idea behind the moral operating system is to think about how that technology and information should be used.

As the utilization of PCs and the web turns out to be more predominant, moral issues identified with PC use will keep on making a bigger effect on individuals' lives and the way that society capacities. PC morals include the ethical standards and behavioral rules related to the path in which people, associations, and society all in all utilization PCs and data innovation. A few cases of moral issues identified with PC utilize incorporate individual data protection, PC security, wholesale fraud, licensed innovation, level with access to data and so on.

In each of the discussions, we were confronted with the ethicality of people or processes. Prior to the advent of wide spread information technology, these situations would have been more easily addressed, categorized, and concealed. This technology has allowed us to share information around the world, but it has also released information beyond our ability to control it. Now our privacy, property, quality of life, work and personal lives are vulnerable because of inadequate laws and unethical entities.

Senator Debra Bowen proposed a bill in Redondo Beach, California contending that the organization using the tag and its information capability must: have customer consent, detach or destroy the tag after leaving the store, and the customer be guaranteed anonymity (Anonymous 91).  It wasn’t until this planned legislation protecting citizens’ personal information existed, that privacy was defended against the RFID technology.  Initiative is in place to use RFID technology in the market.  For instance, Wal-mart projects 250 stores with active tag system by June 2005 (Dipert 54).  The San Francisco Public Library has also planned to spend $1 million on a RFID system, to associate personal identity to book checkouts (Anonymous 92).  Under these conditions, corporations or the government may have the ability to monitor anyone's personal information or activity.  In order to realize the effect of RFID tags, in addition to new laws, advocates of civil rights such as the ACLU and CASPIAN have to be

fertilization, surrogate motherhood, and human cloning once were considered immoral, but since moral codes changed due to cultural settings, they became interweaved into the culture’s fabric and became acceptable. The key to understanding the moral and ethical issues raised by artificial intelligence are the four levels on which intelligent artifacts raise ethical and moral problems. The first level concerns the ethical uses of computers and how humans respond to a world that is constantly being transformed by artificial intelligence machines. With the rapid growth of the internet, it sets the values of people’s security and privacy to a higher standard. New inventions such as telepresence and telecommuting challenge how humans deal with

In the early years of computers and computerized technology, computer engineers had to believe that their contribution to the development of computer technology would produce positive impacts on the people that would use it. During the infancy of computer technology, ethical issues concerning computer technology were almost nonexistent because computers back then were not as multifaceted as they are today. However, ethical issues relating to computer technology and cyber technology is undeniable in today’s society. Computer technology plays a crucial role in all aspects of our daily lives. Different forms of computer technology provide unique functionalities that allow people to perform daily activities effectively and efficiently. In

RFID, or radio frequency identification, is the new system that is replacing the use of barcodes. RFID tags allow users to more quickly obtain information from the object that the RFID tag

RFID (Radio-Frequency Identification), a technology once limited to tracking cattle, is now tracking consumer products worldwide. Many manufacturers use the tags to track the location of each product they make from the time it 's made until carried out of the retail store. Outside the realm of retail merchandise, RFID tags are tracking vehicles, airline passengers, Alzheimer 's patients and pets. Soon, they may even track the consumer’s preference for chunky or creamy peanut butter. Some opponents of RFID technology are saying this technology is becoming too common in our everyday lives. Most people are not even aware of all ways these tags are integrated into our lives and the ways this technology may affect them. RFID technology is under the main supervisory body of the ISO/IEC. The ISO/ETC is a joint technical committee of the International Standards Organization (ISO) and the International Electro technical Commission (IEC). Its purpose is to develop, maintain and promote standards in the fields of information technology and Information and Communications Technology (RFID Technology, 2012).

“RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) can be defined as an automatic identification technology which uses radio-frequency electromagnetic fields to identify objects carrying tags when they come close to a reader.” [2]

IT Professional is a publication (Keith W. Miller 2009), it is such like book publication, it also has copyright problem, plagiarism problem, and many problems like book publication, so, to be the Professionals, they must act like the book authors to solve these problems. In aspects of IT, the side of ethical problems are including advice on how professionals can recognize, analyze, and make judgments on challenging questions about right, wrong, and computing. Computers have become essential tools of modern humans, regardless life, entertainment, education, work, and business are related with computer. Computer impact on human society very much. So knowing the Information Technology Ethics is very important to everyone, because it is useful to everyone who lives in this
