"This book is intended to be used in one-semester undergraduate course on computer ethics. This book has nine chapters. Some chapters (1, 2 and 6) are organized around a particular branch of theory that is helpful for ethical decision makers in computing. Each of the others are organized around a central theme (such a provacy or safety). Chapter 1 introduces the fundamentals of moral and ethical reasoning that will be used in the rest of the text. The chapter covers the moral theories most useful for practical reasoning. Chapter 2 introduces professional ethics and professional codes of ethics, which necessarily requires some discussion of professions and professionalism. Chapter 3 examines the nature of intellectual and intangible property. Chapter 4 looks at the many ways people place their trust in computers and explores when such trust is justified. The chapter includes numerous real cases involving negative consequences of computer failures. The chapter explains the difficulties of preventing such failures and what can be done to mitigate the risks. Chapter 5 explores the ways computers and other modern technology change us. Computers affect our safety, our privacy, our communication, capabilities , our access to information and many other aspects of our lives. Chapter 6 looks at how computing technologies affect vulnerable groups in modern society, such as children and the physicallt disabled. Chapter 7 addresses the ubiquity of computers. It explores the ways they are becoming more and more a part of our lives, not only as tools employed by humans, but sometimes as substitutes for humans, or for some part of a human." - - From the Book
