Module 2 - According to the definition of ethics, it can be connected to the norms or custom of the society. What could be ethical to one could be unethical to another. If this is the case, in which ethics seem to be subjective in nature, why is there a need to study computer ethics at all? Support your opinion with facts.

  There are said to be 6 justifications for the study of computer ethics from http://www.cs.bgsu.edu/ maner/ethicomp95/keynote3-LEVELS.html. These are as follows:

1. We should study computer ethics because doing so will make us behave like responsible professionals; 
2.  We should study computer ethics because doing so will teach us how to avoid computer abuse and catastrophes;
3. We should study computer ethics because the advance of computing technology will continue to create temporary policy vacuums;
4. We should study computer ethics because the use of computing permanently transforms certain ethical issues to the degree that their alterations require independent study;
5. We should study computer ethics because the use of computing technology creates, and will continue to create, novel ethical issues that require special study.; and 
6. We should study computer ethics because the set of novel and transformed issues is large enough and coherent enough to define a new field.

      So, with regards to the above enumerated reasons and justifications, on my opinion, there is a need to study computer ethics to have clarification to all the computer users around the globe about the limitations of its use. Although computers may help us in many ways and makes our daily living simple and easy, if this technology is used for personal satisfaction without considering its effect to many other users , most especially if it could harm and affect badly other people personally or professionally, then ethical issue on using computers should really be attended seriously. So basically, for me, computer ethics should be studied to display fairness, cleanliness, professionalism and being responsible in using computers.
