Case Study # 3
Page history last edited by Stephen 1 yr ago
- Ethical codes of conduct such as the ACM and the IEEE-CS adopted by professional societies which contains general statements about what is expected and what is required, to be a member in good standing. Above all the statements that were espoused in the professional societies, there are also some downfalls as well. According to Michael Davis (1995) professional codes are often released on grounds that they are too vague, self-serving, inconsistent, unrealistic, and unnecessary and sometimes are incomplete. Another criticism is that it is a combination of intellectual and moral principles that sometimes can result into confusion. Having a code can guide us towards success but sometimes it hinders us to do something that is not really a bad thing to do.
- I think that computer professionals can’t be consistent and comprehensive in following the codes of conduct, because for me these professionals are unique from one another, they have different signature in programming and skills. The best code approximates it, is the BCS Code of Conduct. As I read the codes, it is too narrow and it hinders employees to express them selves.
- Well for me, family is more important to me but having job also is important. So as much as possible, if I can be a boss in a company, I will take that opportunity so that I will not have a hard time dealing with my life. I can’t stand to work in a company where they have to force me to do the job that I do not want.
- Implementing a system that could harm many people can be a dangerous thing to do, and safety must be the first thing that we must think of. The two companies must also think for consequences that they are doing. The companies are responsible if anything happens, and we must be responsible to do safety precaution to save lives. What if, these people become victims, the two companies; will be liable for the damage. That is why before anything happens; things must be properly done in order to prevent this kind of situation.
- The new law that was signed by President Bush may result for whistleblowers to remain silent instead of bearing witness, if they think they continue to proceed without rights at their own risk. Software engineers must know when there is a violation that is happening. if it is harmful, the person must report it to their superior with complete documents regarding on the problem, a proof about the whistle blow that the person will announce to the public. With this, it can prevent harmful state to happen and to continue.
