INF 220 Week 5 Discussion 2 - Moral Dimensions of Information Systems

Refer to page 413 Figure 12-1 in your text – The Relationship Between Ethical, Social, and Political Issues in an Information Society. “The introduction of new information technology has a ripple effect, raising new ethical, social, and political issues that must be dealt with on individual, social, and political levels. These issues have five moral dimensions: information rights and obligations, property rights and obligations, system quality, quality of life, and accountability and control.” Give a business example of each. Respond to at least two of your classmates’ postings.
