midterm exam answers...

1.What are the ethical issues that seem to enslave this growing industry?
  • Today, human trafficking is primarily one of the issues that enslave women like prostitution, slavery, and exploitation. Human trafficking is the illegal trade in human beings for the purposes of commercial sexual exploitation or forced labor.The following websites www.findsomeromance.com and  www.filipinaeyes.com are some sites that clearly up to sell local women to international men. What is acted by the person behind the websites is ideally human trafficking which is punishable by the law. It is so unethical issues for us because its human not an animal. Punishments or sanction must be imposed to those who violates the law to stop these unethical acts.
 2. Is there much of a difference between the mail order brides industry or companies that provide escort services versus meeting someone over the Internet in a chat room?

  •  For me, there is a difference between mail order bride industry or companies and meeting with over the internet chat room. In mail order bride, there is a dictator because you don't know who that person is, and women are exposed and endorsed with somebody . Womens are harassed because they follow what is being told to them while on the other hand, meeting over the internet chat room no one can dictates them what to do. There will be an exchanging of conversation ,from time to time it helps to know each other and sometimes it leads to marriage.

3. Does this industry differ much from arranged marriages that take place in some cultures?
Or in the case of "female escorts", does this differ from prostitution?



  • In this industry it doesn't differ much from arranged marriages , it is the same with mail order bride because it is a force marriage it doesn't have a consent with each other. It has a dictator between them. while in female escorts it doesn't differ from prostitution, escorts intention is also prostitution.

1. If you are to become a part of the VSU team who will formulate a handbook like that of Virginia University, give at least 2 policies that you want to be implemented in VSU or even just for CS students like you, regarding computing. Also include sanction or sort of punishment to those who will violate the said policy.
  •     The first policy i want to implement is all students of VSU should make their own moodle account so that their assignments, quizzes, exercises etc will be pass in their moodle. For those did not follow will be expel from the university.
  •     Second, every student should respect others privacy. Accessing others account, posting without no permission. For those who invade the privacy of others will be expel from the university. 

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.


  •     For me, there is a need to study computer ethics because according to the definition "what could be ethical to one, could be ethical to another. For example in distributing, copying other software it would lead to piracy of software. Studying computer ethics will remind us what is wrong or right. It will guide us to be professionals.

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?

  •  I choose divine because it is about GOD's Law. I love GOD and i owe him so much.
