Q: If you are to become a part of the VSU team who will formulate a handbook like that of Virginia University, give at least 2 policies that you want to be implemented in VSU or even just for CS students like you, regarding computing. Also include sanction or sort of punishment to those who will violate the said policy.
A: --Everyone at the University has access to information servers for electronic mail (email) and other Internet services. 
   --There are data network connections in on-Grounds residence hall rooms to connect your personal computer to the Internet.

Sanctions: Anyone caught "hacking" the network will be suspended for 2 weeks computer access within the university network.  Students should provide their "official" email address. Any student caught hacking or using other persons account will be suspended for 1 month computer access within the university network.

B.)  Q: According to the definition of ethics, it can be connected to the norms or custom of the society. What could be ethical to one, could be unethical to another. If this is the case, in which ethics seem to be subjective in nature, why is there a need to study computer ethics at all? Support your opinion with facts.

A:  According to  Moore’s contention,

the central task of computer ethics, in decision making processes that involve computer technology, should be to “determine what should be done”  whenever there is a policy vacuum.

It is difficult to fully explain the cause of these vacuums, but one can say that they are mainly caused by the ‘confusion’ between  the known policies and what is presented.

 

 C.) Q:  There are 4 types of non-jural law. Divine, natural, moral and physical. If you are to practice just one type of the non-jural law for the entire existence of your life, what would it be and why?

       A: I'm going to practice the divine law,
 Divine laws are usually embodied religious doctrines and writings of different sects and religious denominations. =)
