Read the case study "scenario"  (Release of Personal Information You work for the IRS, the Social Security Administration, a movie- rental company, or an Internet service provider. Someone asks you to get a

copy of records about a particular person. He will pay you $500.)

1- Use the  Ethical Guidelines  to analyze the case study by applying two phases Brainstorming and Analysis phase.

Brainstorming phase:

–List all the people and organizations affected (the stakeholders)

–List risks, issues, problems, and consequences

–List benefits. Identify who gets each benefit

–In cases where there is no simple yes or no decision, but rather one has to choose some action, list possible actions

Analysis phase:

–Identify responsibilities of the decision maker

–Identify rights of stakeholders

–Consider the impact of the options on the stakeholders (consequences, risks, benefits, harms, costs)

–Categorize each potential action as ethically obligatory, prohibited, or acceptable

–When there are multiple options, select one, considering the ethical merits of each, courtesy to others, practicality, self-interest, personal preferences, etc.

2- Identify the Software Engineering Code of Ethics, ACM code and explain them based on the scenario given. (ACM Code is attached)
