Albert Einstein: Ethics is Exclusively Human with No Superhuman Authority

       If I become part of the VSU team who will formulate a handbook, the policies that I want to be implemented in VSU or just for CS students  like me regarding computing are the following:

• Every Student must be responsible in exercising his/her rights (e.g. freedom of expression). He/she must be sensitive enough in expressing something with the use of internet (e.g. posting undesirable statements pointing to a particular person, posting irrelevant topics or issues,.. ) for it only serves as an annoyance to everybody and in other cases may result to misunderstanding. 
• Every Student should avoid involving in computer abuse and must not display malicious behavior to fellow students by using equipments such as computers,video cameras,mobile phones and etc.
• Every Student is encouraged not to visit any prohibited websites.
• Eating and drinking while inside the laboratory is prohibited.
• Every Student should respect the privacy of others. Accessing someone's account without any permission must not be practiced.              

Disciplinary Actions for the violators of the Policies:

1st Offense: Give a warning

2nd Offense: Report to the higher authorities

3rd Offense and more: Subject for suspension for 1 month or more

             With the explosion of the Internet into the most widely used information medium today, the need to study the correct computer ethics has become imperative to our future as computer users. As the technology underlying computers continues to change, so to must our way of going about ethically using computers to further our society. There are many different areas where the study of computer ethics could be considered applicable.

             The use of computers in large corporations is just one sector of computer ethics that needs to be fully understood. As computers are essential to the way big business makes their yearly profit, they can also serve to be attracting devices for employees to use as their own personal usage for entertaining themselves. Many people have lost their jobs due to their complete lack of ethical behavior in the field of using their computer at work for strictly business purposes.

             There is also the matter of using computers for criminal reasons. Due to the very nature of the information that is transferred through computers, they lend themselves to being targets for disagreeable characters to attempt to act. From implantable viruses to the most advanced hacking software, criminal behavior in relation to the use of computers is a problem that has been addressed (http://www.valid-computing.com/computer-ethics-definition.html).

             ---> There is a need to study computer ethics to mold the good moral and right conduct of a person and to help every individual acknowledge and distinguish right and wrong. As like what I've posted above, the case there is very much an improper behavior. Abusing the things (e.g. Computers) that let our lives at comfort zone is unethical. Computers should be used not to disturb, distract and destroy people. In that situation, studying computer ethics is much needed to help that person rediscover himself/herself and mold him/her good moral character. 

          A practice is the way in which you normally handle a specific situation, or the sequence of steps you follow when you want to accomplish something. As defined Natural law is the unwritten law permeating and governing nature as a rational harmony and orderly pattern of different things and events without which the latter would be reduced to chaos and disarray. It is a discipline that every human being must observe and adhere so that the individual and the common good may be realized or attained (Plato). The precepts of natural law are righteousness, justice, equity and fairness (http://www.freewebs.com/kmsolmoro/notes.htm).

         ---> In the four types of non-jural law, I would choose to practice the Natural Law in the entire existence of my life. I've chosen this law because I like the percepts of this law. It promotes justice,equity and fairness which are so much essential in dealing with the people not just in our country but all over the world.
