Abstract
This report contains the brief explanation of ethical framework and its importance in many areas of human life. Main guidelines of the “Apple” company with precise descriptions are mentioned in this report, too. There are also comparisons of those frameworks with the “Killer Robot case study” and the expected results that might be happen if they implement that code of ethics for the “Silicone Techtronics” and of course, if the stuff obeys those principles.
Introduction (section)
Description: Ethical framework (sometimes called as code of conduct or code of ethics) contains fundamental principles of right and wrong things from the point of social aspect. This is mainly about what people ought to do, besides, it helps individuals …show more content…

It is obvious that, if an employer is not inspired in a required way to do the desired work and besides, have a pressure on him, the possibility of being successful at that work is very low. This reason might be count the causes of failure of the project “Robbie CX30”. Johnson even implicitly blackmailed project manager – Sam Reynolds and software tester – Cindy Yardley with their and others’ job, which is another type of violation of the framework.
• Health and Safety (subsection)
Apple considers the health, safety, and well-being of its workers in a top list of all other type of concerns. Supplier shall provide and maintain a safe work atmosphere and integrate sound health and safety management practices into its business.

Supplier shall accurately record information regarding its business activities, labour, health and safety, and environmental practices and shall disclose such information, without falsification or misrepresentation, to all appropriate parties.
While Ray Johnson announcing the “Ivory Snow Theory” of software design and development, he mentioned that this is the purest robotics software, however it has also insufficient parts, itself. Apart from that, twenty new programmers who were hired later on, was not provided with enough information about this project. So, they were not as helpful as the previous team members, in terms of speeding up a software project.
 Protection of Intellectual Property
Supplier shall respect intellectual property rights and safeguard customer information. Supplier shall manage technology and know-how in a manner that protects intellectual property rights.
Compared to “Apple”, the member of “Silicon Techtronics” – Randy Samuels violated the copyright by applying the same code from a commercial software package to “CX30 Robotics”
