Ethical Dilemmas In ICT Doing Ethics Technique

Questions: 1. What's going on? 2. What are the facts?3. What are the issues? 4. Who is affected?5. What are the ethical issues and their implications? 6. What could have been done about it? 7. What are the options?8. Which option is the best and why? Answers: 1. A recent issue which I have found through the media sources on the ethical issues in the field of ICT and much more of areas is the production of a computer which can actually sense your emotions, steal your thoughts and can convert them in words. But moreover in the case of Nigeria- the attack on the ICT infrastructure is a bigger dilemma in terms of ethics. (Lindskog, 2016) 2. Moreover relating it with major news about how in Nigeria, about the attack on the Telecommunications infrastructure. There are over 200 areas which are without telephone service. With the background situation of an ever- increasing attacks on the telecommunications infrastructure in Nigeria- The police force which is the- Nigeria Police Force (NPF) has actually called on people and other communities to protect the ones in their locality. (NigerianNation, 2016) The forces have actually urged Nigerians to make sure that they also like them see these infrastructures as communal assets- which actually helps them in times unusual or other communal attacks. They are helpful for them to get information about any kind of unwanted incident. In Nigeria, instances of vandalism, particularly on media communications frameworks has remained a noteworthy test to the government in that nation because it not only disrupts them to connect with the common public and make sure that they have a serious connectivity line which makes them feel secured and talk to their loved ones. 3. Here if we talk about the kind of non- ethical issues: so we can almost found none- if we go deeper in such an issue- then we can say that: No telephone lines due to some communal hatred is sort of a non- ethical issue only But if we analyze this issue in detail then we can say that this involves a lot of ethical issues too. 4. Stakeholders involved: The people of Nigeria Government Other agencies All the media channels The communities Army and other forces 5. These all stakeholders are and will face a lot of trouble as the people will get to know that the telephonic structure is not there and it will create a situation of panic. And yes it is also against the rights of people as they have the right to be provided with the basic telephone structure to contact their loved ones. It their right to express- And they should be getting all the rights to do the same. Thus the biggest ethical issue is here that the people are deprived of something which is very essential. And even the ones who have, they dont work or they are hijacked with some agency or community groups which create a situation of more serious panic and more. 6. This is actually going ahead the heels of revelation made by the Nigerian Communications Commission (NCC), they have actually made sure that they sensitize others about the same. Talking at a sensitization workshop composed by NCC for law authorization organizations on broadcast communications issues in the nation, in Lagos, the Inspector General of Police (IGP), Ibrahim Idris, said that there police will do anything to preserve and protect the property and people. 7. The options as mentioned can be: Develop infrastructure and get stay orders that these cant be demolished and who does will be severely punished. (Anderson, et. al 1993) Have acts put up or do amendments that any loss to such property will be treated under immediate action and will be developed as it is for the integrity of people of Nigeria. The Deputy Inspector General of Police responsible for ICT, Folusho Adebanjo, even said to the general population to make sure that they see media communications framework as a resource for them to identify and find terrorists. Thus 3. Option will be to make sure that these are not demolished and protected thoroughly to maintain a safe situation for public. This involves high ethical standards as people should not live in a state of panic and its the governments duty to protect them. (May, 1980) The law usage officers must work with the gathering people in light of the fact that as they are trustworthy in playing out their commitments, the gathering people must see communicate this tall structure for communication and telephone services as assets and report assumed criminal activities to the police. This will lead to making sure that all of them are in the best place for maintaining ethics and all. Also the advancement of national approach and ICT strategy; budgetary support for vital usage arrange; development of E-Corps; development of innovation educated key police directors and execution of moral models- everything will lead to better standards of living for the community a whole. (Anderson, et. al 1993) 8. Best option is actually the - will be to make sure that these are not demolished and protected thoroughly to maintain a safe situation for public. This involves high ethical standards as people should not live in a state of panic and its the governments duty to protect them. The officers have even said that the broadcast communications division contributed more to the economy set off the energy to perform and the need to stop snags to the acknowledgment of its goals. And thus everyone who is attacking the same should not be doing. It has even been observed that while the commission took off different battles to bring issues to light and made some capture with the support of the police, there was requirement for successful procedures to guarantee that anybody captured was accused and charged heavily as its violating a lot of issues and more.
