INTRODUCTION
Ethics play an important role in our life styles and way of
doing things.In general we may define ethics as the field of
study that is concerned with question of value i.e. making
judgements about good or bad behaviour in any given
situation.

Ethics is concerned with what is good for individuals and


Society and is also describe as moral philosophy.

The term is derived from the Greek word ethos which means
custom Habitat character or disposition.

Ethics guides one’s behaviour in every field of life whether


business, education ,social behaviour or using computers.

things as per the instructions given to it.

wisely. It is not the computers we should
be concerned about but the people whose
lives we can affect by our actions.

MAJOR These days, we can easily say that our


society is information society and our era
is information era. As we all know that
ETHICAL information is means to acquire
knowledge. In other words, we can say

ISSUES that information forms the intellectual


capital for a person or body. However,
there are many ethical issues involved with
the usage and availability of information.

PRIVACY OF AN INDIVIDUAL:

➢ Ensures new ideas and technologies are


widely distributed.

➢ Promotes investment in the national


economy
ACCURACY OF INFORMATION

With the value and importance of information, it becomes


very necessary to ensure that the information is accurate.
When a user pays for some information or software he has
every right to ensure that the information or software being
given to him is authentic, authorised and accurate. The
ethical issue involved here is that the information owner
should make available the authentic, authorised and
accurate information to its purchaser.
