COMMENTS:

Module 5

I think it is the "problem of the scope of morality" that is most pervasive moral problem today because people especially those in a high ranks have easily forgotten the scope of morality. Or if talking about computing, we can mostly witness these in the internet. Simplifying further this simple example will help you figure out what's inside my mind (eheh",).
Most of the CS students want to explore everything in the internet maybe because of their curiousity especially when they saw something igniting, like pornographic materials (but mostly men lng ni), games, eye-catcher words like love and etc.. Now the situition is this, the 4th year CS students in LSU was told to make a research about new discoveries and have their reactions after they got the informations. They forgot the scope of morality by entering pornographic site that they know it is no longer educational, though it is still educational but should be put in a proper way and in a proper place. In that scenario they already forgot the scope of morality.

Module 6

1. Pornography on the net
Well...It depends!!!.. We can see that it adheres when it is being used educationally but in general it doesnt because anyone can access that informations since mostly in the net passwords is not required for the user. And other pornography site are made just to make money and to ruin the country. So, it's very unethical to see that their are many children nowadays commited sin through that.
So, pornography doesnt adhere mostly on the ten commandments since the commandments are almost related. And also pornography can cause other people to do unethical things like plagiarizing or stealing....

2. Spamming
Obviously, it really doesnt adhere to any of the ten commandments except commandmnents #s 3,6, & 7.., it is just the same of making a viruses since it increases the amount of "junk mails" in your email box. There are also some who go with it (d victims!!) and losses their money because there are many cons in spams. People who do spamming only needs attention or worst just wanna make theirselves happy by seeing other people's loss (it hurts, man!!).

3. Hacking


Web Definition of Hacking
--> Unauthorized use, or attempts to circumvent or bypass the security mechanisms of an information system or network.
www.tsl.state.tx.us/ld/pubs/compsecurity/glossary.html

-->illegally accessing other people's computer systems for destroying, disrupting or carrying out illegal activities on the network or computer systems.
www.infosec.gov.hk/english/general/glossary_gj.htm

Based on that definition i can say that it doesnt adhere to the ten commandments. I dont have to explain because it is clearly stated by the definition. And well.. in order to ride other people's explanation i could say that yes i agree that hacking has two kinds, the good and the bad, and if you say that it has a good purpose well it still doesnt adhere to commandment #2,3,7, and 10.

4. Sending chain letter emails(such as prayer and novena)

There are some situition that we can say it adheres but there are also some situition that it doesnt. Let me explain first the bright side, it adheres because it reminds the people to pray and that there is somebody up there watching us. Second, it doesnt adheres because chain messages are mostly alike with spam and it only makes your work slower. It only ruins other people's emotion.
It doesnt adhere to the commandments except for the unrelated one(#7,6, and 3).

More on commandments in computing


if an altruist(one who looks the welfare of others) is asked to evaluate pornography on the net and hacking. How would he categorize these two issues in conjunction with the commandments of computing? Append your discussion in the module 6 session.

REACTION:


Pornography: Well as what i've said earlier that it is good if you put it in a proper place and time. It could promote people's awareness that being involved with that is not an easy one or what i mean is there are many consequences to consider like it could harm you by influencing their contagieous illness. Also, it serves as an eye-opener to the youth by explaning what good or bad it could bring.
