Ethics

Question 1: A Question of Ethics
    Given that the Web is an open forum for expression and that the Constitution of the United States guarantees freedom of speech, what, if any, restrictions should be placed on these Web Sites?

Comment 1: I don't fell the government has any rights to censor the Web. It is not there job! And if they did who would censor the censors? There is no way it would be fair to any person or business to have the government say what they can say and post on there own sites.  I do fell some censor-ship on Music, Videos, and Movies would help with the great loss they are encountering by bootleggers. Still how censor some sites and not others, will not work.

Question 2: Explain why the restrictions would or would not be justified, and who should make the decision as to which Web sites should be restricted.

Comment 2: I do feel sites that only children use and music, video, and movies sites should be protected. Again how can one branch of government find and protect these sites. On all else of the web. I feel if you don't like what you are seeing then CLOSE the tab. Alot of censor-ship on the Web is use your own discretion. Our  government has NO right messing with our freedom of speech! Journalist print what ever they want no matter who it hurts and we are doing nothing to make sure these stories are completely true so Why the Web? Why Now?

Question 3: Identify one URL utilized as a research source.


Everyday, millions of people purchase airline tickets, groceries, car, clothing, gifts, and much more via e-commerce. Still, many people are hesitant to join the ranks of online shoppers.

  • List five advantages of online shopping.
1. You don't have to leave home.
2. You can com-pair for the best deal.
3. You can find things you can't get local.
4. Most sites are very secure.
5. Convenience.

  • List three reasons for some people's hesitancy
1. Fraud
2. Don't know how
3. Don't know if they will get what they ordered

  • Identify what online businesses and credit card companies are doing and what could be done to encourage online shopping.
Most Businesses and credit card companies have secure sites to protect the user. They are also offering incentives like discounts, and free gifts to use there pay site,

  • Predict the future of e-commerce over the next five years, including what additional goods and services you would like to see available.
 The E-commerce on the Net is gonna only get larger over the years to come. We are a lazy society and love convince of doing things quickly.

I would love to see more small local business getting there products out there for the world to see.
