What is Good and Evil?
This comes to action when people have to make a decision based on conscience. This is not against with the rules, unlawful as well as with any policy. But people know that the work planning to do or about to do is wrong in someway is its runs counter to your conscience and that's then the ethics kick in where people have to do the wright thing then if there is no any rules that tells people exactly what to do.
Learning from Class:
Today the topics was Ethics. Lecturer started the lecture by explaining the guidelines of ethics that defines what people have to do. This will allows the society to function in harmony and in order to balance its requires a Religion and Law. The importance of religion is some what like the programming of our mind that defines the dimensions between good and bad and gives the ability to evaluate between them. Law comes to action to control peoples activities to some extend by blocking the consequence that related to peoples actions.
Ethics complement to Religion and Law and shape the peoples behavior for better purpose. According to lecturer ethics are change from country to country, society to society and culture to culture. Lecturer explained this scenario by relating to public affection and the way they take care of elderly parents between Asian Countries and Western Countries.
As lecturer stated there is a reason for ethics to change because people are more detached from the moral value but in current day situation people are using their moral value because of that they are used to be more ethical since moral values are the ones that guides someones life. In order to become a good citizen as person you should believe in moral values that the society is respects.
After discussing basic concepts of Ethics lecturer driven the lecture in to aspect of IT related to Ethics. Under that aspect lecture mentioned that the organization do marketing based on the customer wants and needs in order to gather information. Those companies analyze each person online behavior to conduct direct marketing. The problem in this scenario is organization able to track each persons data that exchanges through the internet that enables them to prepare psycho graphic profile on each person, where each persons personal aspect exposed to another third party where it can be unethical in some way but most of the organizations used to provide more specific marketing options for each person. As the next stage of this discussion lecturer discussed about the relationship between Information Privacy and Intimacy that describes the more you share the information with some one the more you get closer to them. This concept applicable to personal aspects as well as organizational aspects. From this discussion lecture was able to give a proper definition for Ethics as specified below.
"Ethics are moral value that basically guides some ones life acting as a decision maker to highlight what is wright and what is wrong"
By relating to the above definition lecturer said that Ethics are molted based on the Nationality, Culture, Subculture and the Family background.

In Information Technology, Ethics can be look at different ways by relating to business aspect and personal aspect. Peoples online behavior can be tracked by business organizations in order to better cater to them personally. This can be seen in different point of views as an unethical activity but the main objective is to provide better benefits to customer and individuals point of view by opening the appropriate information and Intimacy people can benefit more from the organizations than the traditional way of interacting with them.
