UMUC
From an Individual Learning Perspective, What were some of your Learning Outcomes? Throughout the course I have been introduce to ethical issues I have never considered and/ or thought of in the IT field. I think the first two weeks of the course were the most enlightening for me.

I also, learned that all ethical issues have to be taken seriously no matter how minor they may seem.

I definitely have a better understanding as to what an ethical issue is and how it may impact a business if the wrong ethical choice is made. This course has also made me realize that something you may not see as an ethical issue could very well be one, reasons being we were all raised differently and have different ways we see things. One person my not see a problem with a choice, while someone else will take offense to that same choice. When considering ethical issues in the IT field one must consider a multitude of views.
In what manner might your newly acquired understanding influence your subsequent response to situations in information technology that possess an ethical dimension? With the knowledge I have gained in this course the manner in which I approach an IT ethical issue will be with better understanding of how ethical issues can impact an IT company.

Things in our world are becoming more and more autonomous, I believe this will raise many concerns about how much of our personally information and information about our habits are going to be put out there for companies to view with the idea that these companies need this data to make all the machines in our lives more personal. People will enjoy how these machines interact with them and make there daily lives easier, but I think the masses will fail to do there research and unknowingly open there personal lives to major companies without knowing. This will lead to the media doing it for them which we all know can lead to mass confusion and hysteria because the media will only put out the information that creates the best ratings for their station. The more we integrate technology into our lives the more ethical issues that arise, that is just a fact of life and will on continue has time goes on. People must realize we must educate ourselves and not let companies and the media do the educating for
