Abstract

This paper is all about the unethical action of a programmer who used a computer program when he was working with his previous employer. It is evident that he violated some of the provisions provided in the Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics. To be specific, he used other people's computer resources without the owner's permission and authorization. In relation to the case, the computer program which he created no longer belonged to him because he was paid for it. As such, he has no right to use it in his new work under a rival company. Also, the programmer disrespected his former employer when he chose to work for its rival company. The programmer could also be guilty of violating the non-compete clauses if he joined another company …show more content…

Hence, computer usage is common and popular and programmers possibly have higher compensation for the work they render. This is because every industry uses computer to ensure that companies are able to operate efficiently and effectively and that they remain to be competitive with the new business trends worldwide. Aside from that, computer programming can be performed almost anywhere so long as a person carries with him a laptop with an Internet access [1]. If a certain computer programmer loses his job, he does not need to worry because many employers are after his services. There will always be demand for computer programmers considering that the society sees computing technology as vital in humanity's everyday activity and productivity [1]. However, computer programmers must also abide with certain code of ethics in their field of work. Just like any working environment, it is important that computer programmers are able to perform their jobs without abusing other people’s rights. For the purposes of this paper, the unethical action of the computer programmer will be discussed, as well as the ethical issues

Orly Lobels argument on how businesses should not require non compete is well constructed. She includes lots of facts and concrete details that she follows up with her own opinion, such as paragraph one, an excellent example of what I am writing about. Lobel states, "Americans, we are told, believe in competition. But a shockingly large number of workers- 30 million to be exact, according to a report from the Treasury Department-are shackled by what are called "non competes," which are agreements forbidding employees to leave their job to work for a competitor or to start the own competing business. And the number is growing fast.

Moor: “Should We Let Computers Get Under Our Skins?” In the argumentative essay, “Should We Let Computers Get Under Our Skins?”, Moor argues that the era of cyborgs-part human and part computer-is coming whether we like it or not, but we should accept a policy of “responsible freedom” along with it. He argues against the thoughts of not allowing cyborgs. He thinks that instead of trying to fight and go against this coming of computer help, we should accept it but be aware of the things that come along with it. We should approach it with having the freedom to be able to decide whether we want computer implants or not, but also by being responsible in knowing the harms that could come with it.

• Legal courts might not like unfair non-compete agreements which constrain an individual’s right to work. Even if the non-compete agreement was clearly violated, this can make employers difficult to win the court battle. • In many cases, non-compete agreements may be seemed to be unnecessary since confidentiality and related clauses may already prohibit using any proprietary information in the future. Initiating a non-compete agreement could cause unnecessary apprehension among employees and reduce employee satisfaction without actually improving employer

Defining intelligence is a very difficult proposition and one which Alan Turing attempted to avoid answering as regards machine intelligence in the Imitation Game which has become known as the Turing Test (Turing, 1950). He posed the question “Can machines think?” which is he developed to ask if machines are able to converse in a way that can persuade humans they too are human. A machine is declared to have passed the test if human judges are unable to tell the difference between a human and a computer through a typed conversation. He suggested that a machine that persuades 70 per cent of human judges after five minutes of conversation should be deemed to have passed the test.

The utilitarianism is common approach to make ethical decisions. The main point of this approach is that you have to make that decision which comes with the most utility. The utility in this approach can be described as „The good”, and the opposite of this is „the bad”. This means that in Computer Science you have to produce a computer programme or a hardware, which produces the largest amount of good , and during the producing phase, it makes the least amount of bad, for all who are affected: customers, employees, and even the enviroment. With the utilitarian viewpoint people can make right, and ethical decisions, for instance if you produce a programme which can make life easier for millions of people, you should not sell it for extremly

Pranav Patil Computer Science STATEMENT OF PURPOSE INTRO I believe that the ability to invent, innovate and discover is what has propelled man to the echelons of success. Throughout my life, I have been driven by the desire to “create”, a capability that transcends the passive acquisition of knowledge. It is always the unknown path that has enthralled me more than known terrain. In a world where everything from fighter jets to elevators, interactive graphic displays to digital watches, is driven by computers, I found it difficult not to get fascinated by the technology involved.
