ETHC 445N Week 8 Assignment: Your Personal Moral Theory
ETHC-445N Week 8 Discussion: Contemplation and Consideration
Some people believe that you can tell who a person is by what they do when no one is looking. Let’s look at the following case. John Doe, a nurse, has … an application to her phone that allows him to download … textbooks for a nursing course (that Doe is going to take) without his Internet Service Provider knowing it. The application is called “Cloak” as in cloak of invisibility (a hooded coat one wears to make it so others cannot see you). The application disguises his phone and makes it so the information on it is inaccessible. John is aware that other people who are of a lower socio-economic status (like him) also use this software program for the same reason (and to save money). … that his religion forbids him from using this application to download in this manner. John Doe is … on his own economic situation and does not consider the publisher, author, and others involved in the books. Think about a course of social action; what social values should … to address this moral issue and conflict.
