Module 12 - What is there for to rejoice if you have the intellectual property on something? Would it be a great instrument to the economic growth of the country? Or you are just the sole beneficiary of the fruits you have reaped from what you have sowed? Explain.

                If you have the intellectual property on something, there is the presence of pride for oneself knowing that you owned something that actually comes from no one, but you; also the fact that there is money in having an intellectual property. These are just some of the hundred reasons to rejoice on having an intellectual property on something.

                You would not just benefit solely with what you have reaped since it could also be a great instrument to the economic growth of the country. If you happened to have a great, innovative and protected published idea and the government would support that idea of yours, the country would then grow economically.

Module 11 - Is it ethical to blog both awful and pleasant experiences with your ex-girlfriend / ex-boyfriend? Discuss.

                Awful or pleasant experiences with your ex-girlfriend/ex-boyfriend are just some of the experiences that you both should be keeping within the two of you. Blogging these kind of things therefore is unethical for me.

                Blogging on something you longed to express is not bad, but if it could harm someone, then this could be a very apparent reason for the act to be bad and unethical. We are all free to express anything, just don’t harm others on the things you’re expressing. Choose what you express because words, once spoken or written, could greatly affect someone in any other ways. Think before you act!

Module 11 - Facebook’s marketing director, who happens to be Mark Zuckerberg’s sister, proposed last year that banning online anonymity would help curtail cyber-bullying and Internet harassment. Then-Google CEO Eric Schmidt made a similar observation in year 2010, noting that “privacy is incredibly important” but “not the same thing as anonymity.” If banning is already imposed or will be imposed would this stop annoying comments against someone freely posted by an anonymous FB user? Is this ethical? Is this against the freedom of speech? Support your answer.

                 If banning will be imposed or is already imposed, I believe that annoying comments against someone would be curtailed but could not stop it. It could be curtailed since if anonymity will be banned, then users will act formally on social networking sites coz if they don’t it could harm their identity.

                The act of posting annoying comments against someone is unethical because it could harm other people. And so, the act of banning online anonymity is an ethical act. I would agree that it could prevent and curtail cyber-bullying.

                Banning anonymity is not against the freedom of speech. On my opinion, it is just protecting social networking site users to be cyber-bullied.
