    STANDARDS OF MORAL LITERACY

    For the project of teaching moral literacy to be successful, an
    instructor in ethics must overcome certain obstinate prejudices on the
    part of students. Among these are the convictions that ethics cannot be
    taught, that it is a personal matter,
    and, most pernicious, that there are no
    objective standards by which to adjudicate between conflicting moral
    claims. All these prejudices boil down to a lack of faith in the objectivity
    of ethics, the suspicion that moral claims can never be proven true or
    false in the way that scientific claims can

    This explanation of moral literacy is presented in the context of education by Brad Zdenek and Daniel Schochor.

    Becoming literate is not an organic process, like physical, nor is it, like speech, the natural outcome of social life. It is a culture-dependent intentional process. To be literate in a domain is to have the capacity to recognize and perform at some specified level of competency.

        What is Academic Integrity?

           

        Academic Integrity is honest and responsible scholarship.  As a student, you are expected to submit original work and give credit to other peoples' ideas.  Maintaining your academic integrity involves:

         
           
        • Creating and expressing your own ideas in course work;
          •  
        • Acknowledging all sources of information;
          •  
        • Completing assignments independently or acknowledging collaboration;
          •  
        • Accurately reporting results when conducting your own research or with respect to labs;
          •  
        • Honesty during examinations.
          •  
         

        Academic integrity is the foundation of university success.  Learning how to express original ideas, cite sources, work independently, and report results accurately and honestly are skills that carry students beyond their academic career.  Academic dishonesty not only cheats the student of valuable learning experiences, but can result in a failing grade on assignments, a failing grade in a course, or even expulsion from the university for the student.

    • What is Academic Integrity?

       

      Academic Integrity is one of the four Penn State Principles. As stated in Policy 49-20:

       

      “Academic integrity is the pursuit of scholarly activity in an open, honest and responsible manner. Academic integrity is a basic guiding principle for all academic activity at The Pennsylvania State University, and all members of the University community are expected to act in accordance with this principle. Consistent with this expectation, the University’s Code of Conduct states that all students should act with personal integrity, respect other students’ dignity, rights and property, and help create and maintain an environment in which all can succeed through the fruits of their efforts.”

      Academic integrity means honesty and responsibility in scholarship. Students and faculty alike must obey rules of honest scholarship, which means that all academic work should result from an individual's own efforts. Intellectual contributions from others must be consistently and responsibly acknowledged. Academic work completed in any other way is fraudulent.

      Modern science is increasingly collaborative, as signaled by rising numbers of coauthored papers, papers with international coauthors, and multi-investigator grants. Historically, scientific collaborations were carried out by scientists in the same physical location—the Manhattan Project of the 1940s, for example, involved thousands of scientists gathered on a remote plateau in Los Alamos, New Mexico. Today, information and communication technologies allow cooperation among scientists from far-flung institutions and different disciplines. Scientific Collaboration on the Internet provides both broad and in-depth views of how new technology is enabling novel kinds of science and engineering collaboration. The book offers commentary from notable experts in the field along with case studies of large-scale collaborative projects, past and ongoing.

      Most Web users want to understand that personal information they share will not be shared with anyone else without their permission.

A study by TRUSTe revealed that 78% of users surveyed would be more likely to provide information to sites that offered privacy assurance.

    Privacy and the Internet


    The use of the Internet can affect the privacy rights a person has in his or her identity or personal data. Internet use and transactions generate a large amount of personal information which provide insights into your personality and interests.

    Privacy issues relating to identity include the possible appropriation of a person’s email identity and address.


    Ease of access to and the appropriation of email addresses has led to the practice of sending vast amounts of unsolicited e-mails (spam).



    Identification through email and website transactions and the ability to locate people’s physical addresses easily through national and international directories have raised new privacy concerns.

      Internet Privacy is the ability of individuals to control the flow of information and have reasonable access to data generated during a browsing session.

       

      Privacy is a major concern for all Internet users, but it is becoming more difficult to expect a reasonable expectation of privacy online. One of the problems with Internet privacy is that many users assume that they have control over their information. This is often not the case, particularly when they engage in activities such as online social networking, which is essentially based upon sharing of personal information.

       

      Reputation management firms often advise their clients about the adequate amount of information they should make public as part of projecting a positive image.

    www.linfo.org/malware.html Malware worm virus

    • Malware is any software that is developed for the purpose of doing harm to computers or via computers. 

        

       Malware can be classified in several ways, including on the basis of how it is spread, how it is executed and/or what it does. The main types of malware include worms, viruses, trojans, backdoors, spyware, rootkits and spam.  

        

       Worms and viruses are computer programs that replicate themselves without human intervention. The difference is that a virus attaches itself to, and becomes part of, another executable (i.e., runnable) program, whereas a worm is self-contained and does not need to be part of another program to replicate itself. Also, while viruses are designed to cause problems on a local system and are passed through boot sectors of disks and through e-mail attachments and other files, worms are designed to thrive in a network environment. Once a worm is executed, it actively seeks other computers, rather than just parts of systems, into which to make copies of itself.
