homework 4


The article that I have chosen to read is titled “Cyber Ethics in the Workplace” and was written by a brilliant gentleman by the name of Winn Schwartau. As the title states, the article is about the ethical use of technology in the workplace. The author, who is extremely knowledgeable in the issue of cyber ethics begins the article with a brief insight into his background and travels to three different continents where he visits businesses and hosts seminars promoting cyber ethics.
            Schwartau explains how the ethics of a company is set by the leadership forces in the company. This means that managers and human resource department’s needs to set a clear cut set of rules that define the company’s stance on ethical issues. They need to do this so that when employees are greeted with an ethical dilemma at their fingertips they know how to properly handle it.
            Personally I agree with Winn in everything he has stated in the article and do believe that it is up to the management to define what they find as unethical.
