ITETHIC
Ethical and Social Issues in the Information Age
Joseph Migga Kizza
The book of Kizza’s is written as a textbook for the people that are undergraduate and advance when it comes to computer science especially in the IT department. The introduction to the first edition states that, "Students in computer and engineering sciences, computer information and information management systems, and library sciences will also find the book particularly useful" page 14
The main point of why this textbook of this kind is printed as an expanded of the new edition shows that the need to tell the moral and legal issues said by rapid advances of computer sciences and the information technologies. All of the new technological possibilities, computing paradigms, the mere actual application shows many problems that is nature that the inability of our ethical and moral rules to the speed of changes is quite obvious.
The book was publish because it wants to address the social, political and legal challenges related to the rising problems of the information and communication technologies from the point of view of morality and ethics. This provides a definition of the basic concept and illustration of examples of moral and ethical dilemmas by the cited
The main topics will cover the vast history of computing information technology influences on the law and morality, the standpoint of computer crimes, requirements for the computer science, discussion on rights, freedoms, and infringements of those, assessment of a work-place from the point of view of privacy, the issue of surveillance, problems of intellectual property, creating a virtual office, quality of software, professional codes of conduct of various relevant professions, artificial intelligence, etc. In general, the scope of issues is too wide for anything but a superficial pointing out. In all eleven chapters, the author is trying to do more than that by providing scenarios for discussions, exercises, lists of further reading and so on. In general, this is an honest attempt to address an important area of education that otherwise is rather neglected.
The books is great from the first time I read it actually it is my first e-Book that I’ve because of a case study. Student and people who are in the technology era are recommended to read this book because of its sensitive topics of moral issues and many more. The book will also sight many issues regarding the rising of technology today and the use of technology. The problems that arises when technology is not used right will come into the examples. It will also discuss the morality and law in the present time and what is happening is the current era of technology.
