Assignment: Ethics In Information Technology Paper
The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a current events article (i.e., only one) that you may choose from any online current periodical, trade magazine, or other electronic publication about a global digital ethical issue.
You start by selecting a current IT related online article (2016 sources or later) about a global ethical issue. [Note: This assignment is not a general essay about the topic selected, it must be about the current event article selected] While articles from journals may be of interest, they are ultimately too long and involved for this assignment - it is best to find an article, reasonable in length from the World Wide Web. Provide the basic source citation that is in compliance with the American Psychological Association (APA) formatting rules (see the APA Pertinent Information Module), as well as the persistent URL that is clickable (one that anyone can click on to re-access the original article).
The following elements must be addressed:
• Summarize the whole article by all of its key or salient points. You may use bullets concerning the salient points of the article. Remember, that the "thrust of the article" is not enough - your salient points should cover the entire article!
• Analyze the multi-national and global aspects of the article - what is the impact or what is the importance or the effect of the information in the article?
• Determine three critically important questions you would like to address to the author regarding the article - you are not expected to answer the questions!
When complete, you will post your assignment into the LEO Assignments Module under the slot Paper CE-Current Events Analysis. The instructor will provide your grade and feedback via the LEO Grades tool and the appropriate Student Score Sheet. This assignment does not have a specific length, but you want to make sure that you have adequately covered the required three points listed above.
The response should include a reference list. Double-space, using Times New Roman 12 pnt font, one-inch margins, and APA style of writing and citations.
