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.
