CHAPTER 6 WEEK 9

Chapter 6 focuses on ethical issues related to information technology and potential threats to privacy. It discusses four categories of ethical issues related to information technology: utilitarian, rights, fairness, and common good. Ethical frameworks include recognising ethical issues, obtaining relevant facts, identifying stakeholders, and evaluating alternative actions. Ethics in the corporate environment includes a code of ethics, responsibility, accountability, and liability. 

Privacy issues involve collecting, storing, and disseminating information about individuals, including accuracy, property, and accessibility. Privacy laws, such as the Privacy Act 1988, protect individual information, while threats to privacy include electronic surveillance, privacy codes and policies, and international aspects of privacy.
