Moral, Social and Ethical issues associated with the Internet

Moral, Ethical and Social Moral – Does the person think it is right or wrong? Ethical – What is considered as right or wrong in a situation? Social – something which can impact upon the community.

Moral Spreading rumours – it is easy to spread rumours using the Internet. When rumours are started over the Internet it is difficult to identify the person responsible. Inappropriate websites – people are able to view inappropriate material such as pornography, racism, violent videos, how to make explosives, etc. Bullying – in chat rooms, by e-mail, in blogs, by text message is a problem especially for the young Deliberately setting up websites containing incorrect information – people may rely on and use this information thinking it is correct.

Ethical Plagiarism – copying material without attributing or referencing the source of the information. This could also involve using websites which sell essays or coursework. Sending spam (i.e., the same advertising e-mail to millions of people) – people waste time deleting spam if the spam filter allows it through. Companies monitoring staff use of the Internet and e-mail. Some organisations will even read personal e-mails. Using someone’s wireless Internet connection without permission. Sometimes it is possible to connect to the Internet using an open network. The net result of using the network is to slow the network down for legitimate users.

Social Gambling addiction – gambling can cause many social problems and it is on the rise with the ease with which bets can be made using the Internet. Addiction to computer games – many children spend hours playing computer games and their social skills and schoolwork can suffer as a result. Organisations moving call centres abroad. The same service can be provided cheaply using the internet. Growth of E-Commerce websites may mean local shops have to close down.

Lesson Objectives Candidates should show an awareness and understanding of:  censorship  accuracy of information  privacy  effects upon communities  ownership and control 

Censorship No-one owns the Internet. It is international. Material which would be illegal if published in hard copy form is freely available on the Internet e.g. racist propaganda, bomb making instructions, pornography. Some say the Internet should be censored but who will do the censoring and how can centralised control be implemented. If you ban sites will they become more appealing so people will search for them more avidly

Accuracy of Information There is no guarantee that any information on the Internet is accurate or true. Some web sites giving medical advice have been known to give wrong information but they are not held liable. Magazines can write untrue stories. Individuals can spread malicious rumours about people in emails. What about plagiarism – if you get thrown out of university because you copied an essay of the Internet Do you use Wikipedia for essays in school? What happens if you use it in University? http://www.theguardian.com/education/2013/may/13/should-university- students-use-wikipedia

Privacy It is relatively easy to capture internet traffic. Freedom of speech Do we have the right to the privacy of our emails and data files? Do we have the right to encrypt our data? In the light of the increase in Internet crime, security scares and increased terrorist activity should the security services be allowed to monitor all Internet traffic?

Effects upon community Some argue that the Internet has increased; the number of valuable interactions e.g. keeping people in touch with families whilst travelling using Internet cafes. increased awareness of geographically separated cultures Others argue that it has led to a lack of individual social interaction by frequent Internet users e.g. you can work, shop or bank from home without ever having to mix with others. This could cause small local business to go out of business thus increasing social isolation. Exercises undue influence on vulnerable young people e.g. inciting people to become terrorists

Ownership Who owns the Internet? Who controls the Internet Because of the increased commercial value of activities on the internet will a few media giants take control and effectively determine content? Google own Youtube; Amazon own Prime Video (LoveFilm) The law of individual countries is beginning to address some of the legal issues such as intellectual property rights on the Internet but laws only apply to the country which passed them. International laws may go some way to address misuse of the Internet but this is still a long way off.

Exam Question The use of the internet causes major moral, social and ethical issues. Discuss using appropriate examples these issues and the effect that they are having on modern society. [18] June 2011, in Section B; this means you don’t have to do it.
