Describe a current IT-related ethical issue
Since this is a paper exercise, not a real-time situation, you may want to construct a brief scenario where this issue comes into play, and thus causes an ethical dilemma. The dilemma may affect you, your family, your job, or your company; or it may be a matter of public policy or law that affects the general populace. See the list below for a list of suggested issues, which may be a source of ethical dilemmas.
• Define a concise problem statement extracted from the above description. It is best if you define a specific problem caused by the dilemma, that needs a specific ethical decision to be made, that will solve the dilemma. Be aware that if it is a matter of public policy or law that it may require a regulatory body or congressional approval to take action to implement a solution.
• Analyze your problem using one of the structured decision-making frameworks chosen from Module 2. Make sure that you identify the decision-making framework utilized. In addition, the steps in the decision-making framework selected must be used as major headings in the paper.
• Discuss the applicable ethical theory from Module 1 that supports your decision
• Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper and submit it to the Assignments Module as an attached Microsoft Word file.
• Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) reference citations for all sources you use. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.
