Computer ethics (its about the law)

1.If any case I would be to included to formulate a law regarding in computing, here are the law’s that I would intend to make:

1.                            Hacking the University’s System must be prohibited. The University’s System must be protected because it contains important information’s that belongs to the staff and students of the university Student who do these things at the University must be subjected to expulsion.
2.                            Student that would pass wrong information that would cause in panic or hurt other people through the Internet must receive such punishment like suspension or like university service.

  1. According to the definition of ethics, it can be connected to the norms or
    custom of the society. What could be ethical to one, could be unethical to
    another. If this is the case, in which ethics seem to be subjective in nature,
    why is there a need to study computer ethics at all? Support your opinion with
    facts.
Helping other people like sharing information on how to download mp3’s or video’s from the internet would be an ethical because of helping them but the case is your just trying to make them criminals by stealing others work. It depends on which side you prefer. 
There is still a need to study computer ethics at all. It would guide people how to react in computer world. There are times that we have to decide what are we are trying to do. It would remind us that what we are doing is not ethical at all or we just over passing the limitation of ethics.
In computer ethics, we learned what is right and what is wrong. All I can say is that not all the time being ethical are useful, sometimes we must think what is more important. I’m not saying that do the bad things, Like for example, a friend of you is in need of a software that he/she could used In his/her project and he/she couldn’t find a cd that contain this thing. Its just in the internet, in computer ethics, it is not legal to used unlicensed softwares and you are good at cracking. So what should you do? Are you still going to continue helping this friend bec. You are helping him/her or just do nothing bec. You are abiding the ethics rule.? Its difficult sometimes to decide in such scenario.

3. There are 4 types of non-jural law. Divine, natural, moral and physical. If
you are to practice just one type of the non-jural law for the entire existence
of your life, what would it be and why?


            I would prefer to practice the Natural law.  As Aristotle notes that “aside from the "particular" laws that each people has set up for itself, there is a "common" law that is according to nature.” I am not saying that im contradicting to other law such as divine which came from the gods will. As christian we follow this law. what im talking about the law that is common to all of us as human beings. Divine law only applies to us christian but how about other religions? As a person we are not perfect, we made mistakes in life. Like for example in moral law. being to be in 3rd sex is consider to abide the law but how about your principle?, what you choose in life , what you want to be? People like them have to be threated fairly. In going back to natural law, this law talks about the things that is good and bad. We may see that among the non jural law there are things that are common. This things are natural, it just being inherit from the past. These are obvious, these are ethics. Being good to others is an ethical way and doing bad things to others are un ethical. See its just us who made the decisions.

  1. Not to make an argument, but i think you are just basing your answer with your opinions. You mean to say Muslims do not have their own divine law? i don't think so.

    Being gay is not immoral at all. what makes some of them immoral is because they do immoral acts such as same sex marriages.

    There is a saying that the end does not justify the means. it does not mean because you are helping others that software piracy becomes moral, it still is immoral and doing it is wrong despite the reason behind it.
