When interacting online, it is essential for an individual to conduct themselves in a professional and polite manner. This is one of the primary reasons Virginia Shea’s rules of Netiquette consists of the succeeding principles. The first rule is to remember that the individual reading your mail is human, and has feelings. In other words, it is unacceptable to post anything that couldn’t be said face-to-face, and it is paramount to notify readers when flaming. Second, your behavior in real life should mirror your decorum online. Essentially, an individual’s behavior should remain within the scope of the law. If a person fails to maintain an ethical approach when engaging in online correspondence, he or she may encounter the legal ramifications
Before text messaging and emailing existed, everyone had their conversations in person, or at the very least, over the phone. Perez Hilton is an individual who acquires the photos and personal information of celebrities in an online gossip format. The articles he writes may not be true or simply skewed, nevertheless the people read and interpret the information to be true because of the credibility he portrays. Every article has a well written article of how the given “issue” played out, and he follows his posts with photos, which almost always confirms an individual’s doubts. Hilton embodies this movement and still so, others copy as a trend. The keyboards on devices allow people to hide their true identity as easily as they allow you to speak negatively when an individual is right next to you. However, Hilton does put a name to the empire, but he still does his work on a keyboard where he is unharmed. Even if a rich, famous, powerful celebrity wanted to approach them with the law, they really have no jurisdiction to harm Hilton because none of his acts are illegal. The standard that we hold ethics on is everything above the law. So all because something is legal, that does not mean it is not unethical. Because of that, the virtual world allows a sense of freedom one would not feel if they had to defend their ideals in a face to face manner. By not
She advocates that as more and more of our interactions move online, we need to be conscientious of our impact and bring compassion onto the internet. Lewinsky’s rhetoric with this propositional statement is strong, challenging the existence of how things are at this moment – the status quo (Keith & Lundberg 45). Her language is clear and the audience is in quick agreement because she established an emotional connection early. In this next section, I will look more closely at the way Lewinsky sets up her speech to effectively draw in her listeners before making powerfully making her argument for a better, more compassionate
As a student new to social work, The Code of Ethics written by the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) is in the forefront of my mind whenever practicing my freshly learned skills. According to the Code, these rules were written as the “values, principles, and standards to guide social workers’ conduct” (Code of Ethics - NASW, n.d.). Within my most-recent session, certain aspects of this code were relevant, including informed consent, privacy and confidentiality, a commitment to the client, the dignity and worth of a person, the importance of human relationships, integrity and competency of the worker, and social diversity.
Professional Code of Conduct for Nurses Chantel Findley Nova Southeastern University Professional Code of Conduct The classical term for the word ethics is, moral philosophies that rule an individual’s or group behavior or action. The American Nurses Association used ethics to write the Code of Ethics for Nurses with these values and visions in mind: “(1) As a statement of the ethical obligations and duties of every person who chooses to enter the profession of nursing. (2) To act as the nonnegotiable standard of ethics.
NAEYC’s Code of Ethical Conduct is a set of guidelines that were designed and put into place to help early childhood educators and other professionals who work in infant/toddler programs, preschools, child care centers, family child care homes, kindergartens, and primary classrooms in dealing with issues and resolving problems that may arise involving young children and their families.
Etiquette is a very important aspect of a business and the leaders are expected to know proper forms of etiquette in the office, within emails, while dining, and at business meetings. Electronic communication has become the most widely used tool in business and because of that email etiquette is a vital subset of business etiquette. Satterlee (2013) says that there are several basic rules of etiquette when sending an email. One of the most common errors of email etiquette is hitting the “reply all” button. People also at times fail to include a subject line in the message of their email. Finally, when practice proper business and email etiquette you should never send an email written in all caps because of the fact that this is thought of as screaming at the
The nursing code of ethics has a very standard definition. It is the base on how nurses should guide themselves in conduct by making the right decision regarding ethical issues. According to the National Student Nurses Association “students of nursing have a responsibility to society in learning the academic theory and clinical skills needed to provide nursing care” (2003). In the clinical setting nurses have a lot of responsibilities while caring for an ill patient, they have the obligation to practice their profession with compassion, love, and respect the uniqueness of each patient, as nurses we are not supposed to deny care to a patient because of their economic status, their skin color, race, or the nature of health problems, we are here to help the people in need in particular those of susceptible populations. The NSNA states that the code of conduct is based on an understanding that to practice nursing as a student is an agreement that trust and honesty is depended on us by society. The announcement of the code provided direction for the nursing student in the personal development of an ethical foundation and not limited to the academic or clinical environment but can assist in the holistic development of a person. (National Student Nurses Association, 2003)
In an ideal world, technologies like e-mail would be used for the common good; to promote a higher sense of community and to further the development of mankind. The ability to send electronic mail is a powerful tool. Unfortunately, good cannot exist without the presence of evil. So it would seem that for the time being we are stuck with e-mail spammers. I would ask, is the use of such e-mail messages ethical? Are they providing a service of any value? There are several ethical implications that I wish to take a look at regarding the use of such e-mail messages, as well as the ethical analysis of suppressing such activities in the United States and in the United Kingdom.
Everyday more people are jumping on the internet. While it was easier and very effective to communicate with officials a several years ago, as more people join the internet, it becomes impossible for officials to respond to every email, message, or comment. It will only get worse, soon it will just be assistants and aids that reply on the official’s behalf. Other than the fact that it is faster, how is that any better than just writing a letter?
As a law enforcement officer, my fundamental duty is to serve mankind; to safeguard lives and property; to protect the innocent against deception, the weak against oppression or intimidation, and the peaceful against violence or disorder; and to respect the constitutional rights of all men to liberty, equality and justice.
Although electronic mail has gotten more people than ever to read and write some don’t agree with the impersonal quality of e-mail. Of twenty-five people surveyed twenty-three had electronic mail addresses and they all agreed that they had been communicating much more since they discovered e-mail. Electronic mail is not only preferred over handwriting these days but lots of people are also giving up the telephone for e-mail. It is ...
I think morally, this should be an unspoken thing, but sometimes when someone feels attacked or strongly disagrees, we can say things that are hurtful. If we would put into consideration the feelings of others and respect others beliefs before posting anything out of anger or hate just because we do not agree, we could make the cyber world a better place and maybe even the the world a little more united and not so torn. The first commandment of computer ethics stating, Thou Shalt Not Use a Computer to Harm Other People I feel, this is a very important one, this commandment I believe, has to do with viruses. Getting a computer virus can be harmful to some people that use their personal computers for their livelihoods or who have important documents stored on there or even pictures that can all be erased. Viruses have the capability to take over your whole computer and sometimes so powerful, many files may not be recovered. I also strongly
Remember that the internet is a public resource - so consider how others may view
One of the dimensions that make this a difficult issue for administration to control is that cyberspace is forever changing. Thus providing bullies a multitude of avenues to dole out their damage. “Christian leaders can impact character thus this should be one of their goals” ( LU Presentation a, slide 2, 2010). Educational leaders need to learn the many facets of this new terror tactic. Methods include texting derogatory, harassing messages on mobile phones, with students showing the message to others before sending it to the target; sending threatening e-mails; and forwarding a confidential e- mail to all address book contacts, thus publicly humiliating the first sender; flaming; posting obscene, insulting, and slanderous messages to online bulletin boards, online exclusions; or developing Web sites to promote and disseminate defamatory content; outing, sexual in nature, such as publicize that a target is homosexual, whether true or not; hostile takeover of another person 's account; cyberstalking, entails a threat, or at least a belief, that the virtual stalking could become real stalking; and voting/polling booths. The latest trend involves teachers as victims. At Providence High School in Charlotte, NC on January 2008, the student charged used a Facebook message board to post a link to a website with the
It is to believe that with these modern technologies communication is made easier because individuals can communicate in a faster and more efficient way (Jones, 2012). Email, as one of the most common form of communication among workplaces, business or academic settings, enables instant communication and fast speed of message disseminating without having the need to gather everyone together. On top of that, technology has helped to make communication more accessible in terms of long-distance communication. Compare to the early days where the only form of long-distance communication is mailing, it can now be done through the use of computer, tablets and mo...
