Identify the main ethical issue(s) involved in the above case.
The main ethical issues involved in the above case are deception and informed consent.
With the changes to the web site, users were being tricked into upgrading to more expensive
options without knowing what they were getting themselves into. This violated the principle
of informed consent, which states that people should be given all the information they need
to make an informed decision about whether or not to participate in a certain activity.
Additionally, the deception involved in this case could be classified as unethical because it
caused harm to users.
Analyse the actions of Stewart, his manager and his company, and associated ethical
issues from the perspective of the Australian Computer Society Code of Professional
Conduct.
Stewart's actions were ethical from the perspective of the Australian Computer Society
Code of Professional Conduct. He communicated his concerns about the changes to his
manager, and ultimately decided against implementing them. His manager's actions were
also ethical, as they considered Stewart's concerns and decided to go ahead with the
changes. The company's actions were not as ethical, as they chose to deceive users into
upgrading to more expensive options without giving them all the information they needed.
This violated the principle of informed consent, and could be classified as unethical.
Make a recommendation on the basis of your analysis providing reasons for this
recommendation.
I recommend that the company not deceive users into upgrading to more expensive options
without giving them all the information they need. This violates the principle of informed
consent, and could be classified as unethical
Introduction
In this report, we will apply the five-step decision-making process to two different
scenarios. In scenario one, we will analyze a situation where an employee is
contemplating padding their expense report to make up for a grueling business
trip. In scenario two, we will analyze a situation where an IT manager receives an
anonymous threat to the company's customer database.
