Task

Proceed according to the following instructions.

1. Identify a recent (within the last six (6) months) moral dilemma or ethically questionable situation relating to ICT that you are familiar with. This situation can be either in the media (for example one you have sourced from a newspaper, or online through social media) or through your workplace.

• If using a workplace example, to maintain confidentiality, do not use real names.
• If you use a media article you must include a copy of the media article in the Appendix of your assignment.

2. Undertake further research about your chosen topic to assist you in analysing and discussing it in your essay.

3. You are required to complete two separate analyses of the ethical dilemma you have identified above.

The components of the assignment are:

• Analysis One - use the Doing Ethics Technique (DET), ensuring you address each of the DET questions; and
• Analysis Two - Use the Australian Computer Society Code of Professional Conduct (or similar), relating specific clauses from this code to the ethical issue/s, you have identified.

4. Write an Overall Conclusion that ties the results of both Analysis One and Analysis Two together and which justifies the recommendations you have made through the two analyses.

5. Include a Reference list at the end of your work, in the correct APA referencing style, corresponding to in-text citations.
