Computer Ethics – Society & Technology
You are in charge of the computers at a large, inner-city library. Most of the people who live in the neighborhood do not have a computer at home. They go to the library when they want to access the Internet. About two-thirds of the people surfing the Web on the library’s computers are adults. You have been requested to install filtering software that would block Web sites containing various kinds of material deemed inappropriate for children. You have observed this software in action and know that it also blocks many sites that adults might legitimately want to visit. Make a case for or against installing filtering software or suggest another alternative. Don’t forget to use citations and ethical theories to support your arguments.
4 – 5 pages (typed, printed, 1.5 spacing, proofread, and grammatically correct), 5 citations: at least 3 from 3 different assigned articles). Use ethics of consequence, purpose, principle and existential to support your proposal. Present your ethical arguments based on our four pillars. At the conclusion of your paper, state your position and why you decided on that position.
