Paper B1: a matrix mapping of a key IT-related organizational (or personal) ethical issue concerning privacy.
This assignment gives you an opportunity to analyze a key IT-related organizational (or personal, if not in the job force) ethical issue, related to privacysubject to relevant laws, regulations, and policies. Both of the following sites provide sources, and an excellent backdrop for issues relating to privacy protection and the law.
See EPIC Privacy Issues at: http://epic.org/privacy/ See List on left and/or: EFF Privacy at https://www.eff.org/issues/privacy [see list in center on this page].
This includes sub-topics discussing information privacy, privacy laws, applications and court rulings (case law is usually an extension of the basic law based on the facts from specific cases and real-world court decisions), and key privacy and anonymity issues. While the sites provide many interesting topics, be sure to focus on our class IT topics.
1. Use the template below and the list of suggested workforce privacy topics from one of the sites above to produce a matrix to map a key organizational ethical (or personal, if not in the job force) issue and how this issue is affected by laws, regulations, and policies. Use the list of normative ethics principles below to help you complete the matrix. Choose any three (only three) of the following list of twelve (12) principles of normative ethics described below.
2. Prepare the Ethical Issue matrix and include the following explanation (200 words) —double-space your narrative—below the matrix:
1. Why I chose the dilemma;
2. Why I chose the three principles; and
3. An analysis of the research used to identify the actions in the matrix.
The completed matrix allows you to weigh the different issues involved and assign a rank as to the importance of the actions based on the effect on the stakeholders.
1. Submit the matrix for grading to the LEO Assignments Module.
2. Indicate appropriate APA in-text and source citations for all sources. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your assignment should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.
This assignment is directly related to Paper-B2. The ethical issue identified in this assignment will be used in your Paper B2 Assignment. Paper B2 asks you to write a policy that corrects the ethical issue described in Paper B1.

Universality: is the duty to take actions that hold for everyone,
regardless of time, place, or people involved. This concept is
similar to the Categorical Imperative.
Veracity: is the duty to tell the truth.
A sample template for the matrix is shown below. To
reconstruct the sample template, you may use the Table Tool in
MS Word or copy and paste this template.

Step 1: Identify the ethical issue that you want to analyze, as
described above. An example might be the falsification of your
personal profile in a social networking site.
Step 2: Identify the stakeholders involved. You, someone who
4. reads your personal profile in a social network site, potential
employers, etc. Be sure that each stakeholder category is unique
and not similar to another category you use.
Step 3: Choose any three (only three) of the principles that
might apply to your issue such as autonomy, publicity, and
veracity.
Step 4: identify how the ethical issue affects each stakeholder
based on the principles you identified. Put this statement in the
matrix next to the stakeholder.
Sample Completed Matrix
Ethical issue: falsifying your profile on a social networking site
Stakeholders
autonomy
publicity
veracity
1: Yourself
You have the duty to maximize the right to make your own
decisions.
You have the duty to take actions based on ethical standards
that must be known and recognized by all who are involved.
You have the duty to tell the truth
2: Other users of the networking site
They have the duty to make their own decisions
They make these decisions based on ethical standards that
should be recognized by the person falsifying their profile
They assume that the person falsifying the profile has the duty
to tell the truth.
3: The social networking site
The autonomy of the site is limited by law (Goldman, 2007)
Users of social networking sites are content publishers, as such
the site must take actions based on legal and ethical standards
and must notify users of these standards so they are known by
all.
As providers of content the site must conform to the laws
regarding truth or be held responsible for legal issues as
defamation (making harmful false statements about someone
5. else) or copyright infringement. (Goldman, 2007)
