1.Internet Ethics:

Just like computers the Internet also has the same Ten Commandments of Ethics, so the same rules apply to the Internet when it comes to ethics according with (Vogel, 2016). Scenario, a college student is asked to conduct research for a biology class project the student copy and paste most of the information and did not cite any sources. Unfortunately, this is a very common situation that happen to many students in in countless academy institutions, there could be a range of reasons behind why he did it, however there is no excuse for the student to used intellectual material and presented as his. Plagiarism is not something to take lightly, because if later that same student become a scientist, it could do the same at higher levels, so is better to stop it and teach the lesson about ethics before that student become a professional.

As what consequences the student should face, the student should be getting a negative grade, a lesson of ethics from the professor or the institution, and the second chance to fix the situation a cite his sources. This way the student will learn a valuable lesson without being reprimanded to the maximum punishment and can have good slap in the wrist. Bottom-line up-front plagiarism is a big part if ethics and doing so also violates the one of the ten Commandments of Ethics 8th Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output.

2.Cyber Ethics:

Cyber Ethics is the subject covering user behavior and what computers are programmed to do, and how this affects individuals and society according to (Vogel, 2016), Scenario is the Colonial Pipeline Cyber Attack Hackers entered the networks of Colonial Pipeline Co. on April 29 2021 through a virtual private network account, the attack had major effects on gasoline prices and affected the supply for most of the east side of the United States. In this case the U.S citizens pay much higher prices and cause a lot of turmoil in the US east coast. Hacking such an enormous entity brought to light the weakness of our infrastructure however, I consider this is not only unethical but also cyber-terrorism and the responsible behind should pay the maximum punishment.

The reason why I say maximum punish should be carry out to the individuals, entity, or country behind it is because millions of Americans with no fault of their own were affected. A completely unethical act by hacking another country infrastructure is almost inciting war and would have the repercussion to their society. Its safe to say that many hackers are unethical by the nature of their behavior.
