Ethical Problems within Information Technology

Goals for the paper: Identify the global issue or concern from the list provided or propose a new topic for your professor’s approval and succinctly summarize the global impact in your own words. Analyze the global ethical issue(s) involved in your own words using the ethical theories discussed over the course of the semester. See Topic 3 for the ethical frameworks. The paper should discuss at least two different countries (or regions) by name and give specific, concrete examples of the technology or technologies involved as well as the ethical concerns raised using these technologies. The ethical analysis may be a separate section, or it may be woven into the analysis as the various aspects of the issue are presented. Discuss any fallacies used to justify actions, what aspects of any recognized code of standards are violated or which could be applied. Provide sufficient context and use common language to communicate your ideas to a reader who has a strong background in technology with at least a bachelors level of education. Give examples that make abstract concepts concrete. Organize content in a way that effectively reaches, engages, and communicates with the reader. The paper is formatted in traditional IEEE format. The template provided within Canvas should be used for the structure and format of the paper. It also provides additional suggestions and assistance with the structure and tone of the paper. Learning Outcomes: This assignment will fulfill one or more of the following learning outcomes: Describe the legal, ethical, and social impacts of technology as related to individual privacy, security, and anonymity in societies across the globe and in the global Internet society.

(Global Engagement) Evaluation criteria: REMINDER: Everything you need to know about the structure and format of the paper is in the template document. Use a copy of that file as your starting document and your formatting will already be set for you. Key Content: Ethical analysis included, using theory or codes of conduct Global issue and analysis included Counterarguments presented and ethically analyzed Structure: You should have an introduction that indicates the structure The paper should be structured in appropriate sections and subsections You should have a conclusion that summarizes You have started new paragraphs where appropriate (not one big giant section with only 1 paragraph) You gave a number to your last section (not N) Formatting: Follow the template’s formatting EXACTLY for all parts of the paper Pagination (abstract, start of body, refs page should all start on a new page) Check that page header has correct page numbering No excess space between paragraphs or sections Grammar/Spelling: Run a grammar check in Word and correct issues: run-on sentences, incorrect verb tenses, incorrect noun-verb agreement Run a spell check in Word Avoid useless, fluffy, space-filling leading phrases (e.g., to begin with, in other words, furthermore, in addition, etc.). If you can remove that phrase and the meaning of the sentence does not change, it is useless and should be removed. Inline citations: All works in the reference page should have at least one inline citation within the paper. Using citations is important to identify where that information originated. Remember, citations both identify the source of where the ideas or thoughts originated as well as provide support for our assertions. In addition, it provides the reader with sources to explore if they wish to further explore the concept. You followed the IEEE format (not APA, Chicago, etc.)
