ATTITUDES ARE CONTAGIOUS!Is yours worth catching?

Values are attitudes and beliefs about

things we think are important in life.

Life is full of little choices. There is an old saying: “What is popular is not always right; what is right is not always popular.” We don’t always make the right choices or do the right thing. Mistakes are a normal part of living and to be expected. All people make mistakes; its part of living. When we make a mistake, we gain more self-awareness and, hopefully, learn a life’s lesson. It’s true! We can learn by our mistakes. What is more important, we can avoid some mistakes if we take the time to identify our personal values and ethics.

Ethics are the rules of personal behavior accepted by society. Ethics are also known as a “code of conduct.”

Personal values and ethics can, at times, be in conflict. Personal values and ethics can, at times, be in conflict.

Are they mutually exclusive (either/or)?

Any individual who breaks society’s code of conduct, even if he doesn’t get caught, loses integrity and self-respect.

Cheating on school or work assignments may reduce personal stress for the present but will eventually return to haunt you.

An ethical person is a good citizen at home, at school or work, and in the community.

People may not believe what you say, but they will believe what you do!

Ethics are about the individual.

Each person in an organization must be ethical.

Courage means doing the right thing, even when it is scary.

Right is right, and wrong is wrong!

ETHICS DETERMINE BEHAVIOR

An individual can make a difference.

Be a good example.

Teachers and employers expect you to follow the rules.

Rules help assure equal treatment.

Do your share of the work.

Be on time

Teachers and employers also expect you to treat others with kindness and respect.

COMPUTERS

Hackers try to break into the security systems of educational institutions, corporations, and government sites.

Our ATTITUDES about and BEHAVIORS on the computer have become a worldwide concern.

In the workplace and in schools, computer use is being monitored. It is perfectly legal for a school or employer to watch what you are doing at the computer because it is their property.

Piracy is when someone copies a computer program including music (even for personal use

only) without permission.

Generally, buyers of software programs are allowed to make one, and only one, copy legally. This one copy then serves as a backup and may only be used as such. It cannot be shared with others.

“Be the Best You Can Be!”“Be the Best You Can Be!”

Read the Ten Do Not’s of Computer Ethics

Use these as your behavior guide when working on the computer. Both hacking and piracy (#1-3, #6) are referred to. Theft of intellectual output and resources means to use another person’s ideas and present them as your own. It’s called plagiarism.
