As we obeserved the technological growth today, most of a computer crime is now targeting a computer devices and a network. Just like a computer viruses,  denial-of-service attacks and etc. that involve in computer and network services. That why as we study computer ethics, one of the most important guidance in using a computer and a network services is to know what are those computer crime.

Also include sanction or sort of punishment to those who will violate the said policy.

Answer:

•       If the VSU  wants me to become a part of their team in formulating a handbook just like in the University of Virginia. there should be a law for those who have an account of facebook, twitter, and friendster in accessing the website, that anybody are not allowed to open their facebook, twitter, and friendster account during class hour and class day's.

Question: 2

     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.

Answer:

     As a college student, we may wonder how does the computer technology today keep on changing its behavior just like browsing the net, the processing different application and even programming some system . And not only for computer technologies area but in the real life of the whole human creatures. we may wonder how does the people travels along its civilization. And we might know that studying ethics helps as to know how to use all the resource and even the thing we need for our daily lives but also our society as well. As what on the definition stated that we are the one who make ourselves to have a good life and deciding of what professional occupation do we have. It  is stated that we may not just inclined only being ethical to our selves but also to the community. And by doing such restricted acts, we may subjected to unethical things. Just like sailing and taking some prohibited drugs. I might say that we ourselves make it to become an evil, because we are leaving in the modern society and we cannot just ignore it, since life will always dependent to ourselves and our will. And so being ethical to our selves and leaving to the modern world, we can  contribute  our selves as a natural leaving.

Question: 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?

Answer:  

     I prepared to choose the divine law, because according to the bible only God holds our life. And it is an essence to follow the divine law because before the existing of human creature God is been here, And our creature. No matter what happen I could always follow the divine law even I cannot implement all of it but with the existing of the belief to GOD, I'd rather to offer it with all of my heart.
