Zippy Scenarios for Teaching Internet Ethics

<p> Zippy Scenarios for Teaching Internet Ethics</p><p>Mrs. Sheetz/Advanced Computers</p><p>Name:______Date:______</p><p>Write a grammatically correct positive scenario for each one of these “ethical” situations.</p><p>1. Jules has walked away from a lab computer without logging off. Trish sits down and, still logged in as Jules, sends inflammatory e-mail messages out to a number of students and posts similar messages on the class newsgroup.</p><p>2. Lester sends e-mail to the entire student body inviting them to a BYOB party at his house while his parents are out of town. Lester receives a message from a system administrator calling him in for a meeting with school officials. He objects because he feels that his e-mail is his own private business.</p><p>3. Every time Abner posts a comment to a newsgroup, his posts are flamed by a group of "enemies." Abner has responded to each flame in turn, and a full-scale war is now in progress.</p><p>4. It seems like every time Melanie logs on to her account, Stanley knows about it and sends messages that cover her screen with text. At first, she thinks it is funny, but now it’s really starting to bother her. The messages reformat the text on her screen and, besides, it is somewhat creepy the way he always knows she is logged on.</p><p>5. Sharon and Timothy are students at Big Suburban High School. They have designed a Web page devoted to their favorite rock band using their personal disk space on the school's Web server. They have posted song clips, lyrics, photographs of each band member, and articles they have found in various Web news sources. However, school authorities have asked them to shut down their site because of the obscene content of many of the lyrics. Sharon and Timothy object, noting that their First Amendment (free speech) rights are being violated. </p>
