Module 2: Ethics and Law

1. If I will become a part of the VSU team who will formulate a handbook to be implemented to the University or to CS students, the two policies would be :

a. Respecting rights of privacy.

Students must respect the privacy rights of all employees and administration. He must also respect the copyright of files and work of another and must not be shared and distributed without appropriate acknowledgment or permission from the owner (teachers) unless permission has been granted. Like for example at the department, students must not access to the administrator system and he must not copy some files from it neither put files to it without the approval of the teachers / staff.

• Once a student violates this policy, he must take the consequences. He will be interviewed by the staff and a series of queries will be raised to him.

• Then he will be writing and signing an agreement that he will never do it again.

• If he violates the second time around, he will be suspended for one month until he learns a lesson.

b.  Stealing the computer’s hardware parts and computer devices in any laboratory room / office at the department.

Student must not attempt to steal any computer devices at the department. This dev ices include the computer, mouse, cable wires and other hardware and all other devices owned by the department / university. Stealing is a sin and be reminded that the one whom you’ve cheated is not the person but God.

• Once a student will be caught, he will be punished. He will return or replace the devices he had stolen.

• He will ask apology to the staff / teachers.

• Next he will be interviewed and a series of queries will be post to him.

• Then, he will be send to the USSO for disciplinary action purposes.

2. There is a need to study computer ethics in order to guide and govern the use of computers and information systems as well as our moral behavior. As what we have observed nowadays in our society there is a rapid increase of conflicts because of ethical dilemmas brought by technology. And if there is no moral guidelines to be followed there will be a great chaos. People will continue to do the things what they wanted even if it is not already good, thus computer ethics is important. Like the different websites where pornography is found without computer ethics, viewers to these inappropriate websites will be rampant. Computer ethics are used from preventing these viewers especially the kids, teenagers of minor age from entering and watching to the sites where they don’t belong. Such sites may include inappropriate images and videos, violence and other information that the children shouldn’t know about. Websites with pornography can influence one’s behavior and attitudes and some of them are applying these to their lives which are not a good example. Thus, computer ethics is really important for us not only to be guided with the right moral values but as well as to be more knowledgeable enough in choosing the right decisions.

3. If I am to practice one type of the non-jural law for my entire existence I would choose the Divine law because it is the most powerful law among the other laws. And also this law comes directly from God’s will that man cannot change it, so it is independent from the will of man. Because divine law is eternal and infinite that other laws may fall under this. It includes not only the actions of human kind but as well as the whole universe, living or non-living things. And I do believe in the biblical saying “Seek first the kingdom of God and all these things shall be added unto you”. Just like in following rules or laws, I must prioritize or give more importance to the Divine law than the other laws for these laws shall just followed next. We human have brains and the other parts of the body like the hands, feet, and etc. I can compare these laws to our body. Wherein Divine law is the brain and the other laws correspond to the other parts. We can see that the Divine law directs or guides the other laws. This is because I can already apply and follow the biblical laws that I have known not only the Divine law but also the other laws. For example, in a certain situation if I am to choose between the good and the bad I will be able to determine what to choose because I am already guided with this Divine law. In other words Divine law is just like a package delivery that other laws are included.

PRAYER FOR PROTECTION

      PRAYER FOR PROTECTION 
 

I place myself in the presence of Jesus Christ and submit to his Lordship. I “put on God’s armor so as to be able to resist the deliver the devil’s tactics”. (Eph. 6:10-11) I stand my ground, “with truth buckled around my waist, and integrity of for a breastplate...(Eph. 6:14). I carry “the shield of faith” to put the burning arrows of the evil one...(Eph. 6:16). I accept “salvation from God to be my helmet, and receive the word of God from the Spirit to use a sword” (Eph. 6:17).

In the name of Jesus Christ, crucified, died and risen, I bind all spirits of the air, the water, the fire, the wind, the ground, the underground and the netherworld. I also bind the influence of any lost or fallen soul who may be present, and all emissaries of satanic headquarters, or any coven of witches or warlocks, or satan worshippers, who may be present in some preternatural way. I claim the Blood of Jesus in the air, the atmosphere, the water, the fire, the wind, the ground and the fruits all around us, the underground and the netherworld.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I forbid every adversary mentioned to communicate with or help one another in any way, or to communicate with me, or to do anything at all, except what I command in Jesus’ name.     

In the name of Jesus Christ, I seal this place and all present and all family and associates of those present and their places and possessions and sources of supply in the Blood of Jesus.

In the name of Jesus Christ, I forbid any lost spirits, covens, satanic groups or emissaries or any of their associates, or cause harm or take revenge on me, my family and my associates, or cause harm or damage to anything we have.

In the name of Jesus Christ and by the merits of His Precious Blood, I break and dissolve every curse, hex, seal, spell, sorcery, bond, snare, trap, device, lie, stumbling block, obstacle, deception, diversion or distraction, or spiritual chain of spiritual influence, also every disease of body, soul, mind or spirit placed upon us, or on this place and things mentioned, by any agent, or brought on us by our own mistakes and sins.

I now place the cross of Jesus Christ between myself and all generations in my family tree. I say in the name of Jesus Christ that there be no direct communications between the generation. All communications will be filtered through the Precious Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Mary the Immaculate clothe me in the light, power and energy of your faith. Father, please assign the holy angels and saints to assist me.

Thank you, Lord Jesus, for being my Wisdom, my Justice, my Sanctification, my Redemption. I surrender to the ministry of Your Holy Spirit, and receive Your truth concerning intergenerational healing.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end. AMEN.

Machine: Makes People Shine

      If I am a machine, I would like to be an airplane. Airplanes are flying vehicles powered by a  fuel. They cross to the different countries and continents all over the globe to send their passengers to the different places they wanted to go. Airplanes are also used as a medium of transporting goods and services to other places. But before an airplane can do all its tasks it needs a pilot that is in charge of the route of the travel. I choose this machine because my life is like an airplane. Like an airplane flying above the sky I wanted to soar up high reaching my dreams and ambitions in life. That before succeeding and reaching my goals , I need to exert and put up all my efforts, time, patience  and determination that serve as the fuel of my life. Airplanes cross all over the world. Just like me I will be dealing with different kinds of people with different attitudes and behaviors and I wanted to serve them and be an inspiration to their lives. And no matter how successful I am someday I will still be humble like airplanes that after flying always land .And I like airplane because it has a pilot that is in charged of the travel and it makes one's life shines and glows. And airplanes are useless if there will be no pilots.  Like life, each of us has a pilot that lead s and guides us  along our life's journey making our lives more meaningful . And we are nothing if we will not look upon on our pilot above which is the Almighty Father.

Moral Values: Portals of the Souls

      Moral values are the standard of good and evil, which govern an individual's behavior and choices. individual's morals may derive from society and government, religion, or self. 

      Promoting good moral values is a good habit, and as a concerned citizen I wanted to see myself doing it. And as a youth of today's generation, I would like to handle and conduct a seminar or a fellowship for the youths. This would be a three-day activity in which all the youths will be exposed to different public and religious activities like tree planting, cleaning the surroundings, prayers, and biblical readings. Lectures from the different spokespersons from the different areas will be discussed. Church representative like priests,municipal employees, teachers and businessmen are the prospective speakers for the seminar. They will tackle the different techniques, guidelines, good virtues ,ways and proper behavior in promoting and maintaining good moral values. And there will be an open forum after the  lectures. The participants or youths will be divided into groups and each group will have a bible sharing. This seminar will not just only build the camaraderie of the youths but will also teach the youths on promoting moral values.
