Equality of acces:The growth of the use of IT systems has led to disparities in the use of, and access

to, information technologies.

Disparities exist not only internationally between countries, but also within countries between

different

socio-economic groups as well as within what may appear to be relatively homogenous groups.

This may

lead to groups or individuals without access to IT being disadvantaged. For example, while

telelearning may

bring previously unavailable opportunities to everyones doorstep, factors such as the cost and

availability

of hardware, software or access to the internet may create a digital divide.

Surveillance: Surveillance is the use of IT to monitor the actions of people. For example,

monitoring may be used to track, record and assess employees performance. It can be used to

support claims for promotion or to ensure that employees follow the organizations internet policy

appropriately.

2)Close observation of a person or group, especially one under suspicion.

Globalization: Globalization means the diminishing importance of geographical, political,

economic and cultural boundaries.

2)The worldwide movement toward economic, financial, trade, and communications integration.

Globalization implies the opening oflocal and nationalistic perspectives to a broaderoutlookof

an interconnected and interdependent world with free transferof capital, goods, and services

across national frontiers. However, it does not include unhindered movement oflaborand, as

suggested by some economists, may hurt smaller orfragile economies if applied indiscriminately.

Cultural diversity: the cultural variety and cultural differences that exist in the world, a society, or

an institution: Dyinglanguages and urbanization are threats to cultural diversity.

Policies: Policies are enforceable measures intended to promote appropriate and discourage

inappropriate use relating to information technologies. They can be developed by governments,

businesses, private groups

or individuals. They normally consist of rules governing access to, or use of, information,

hardware, software

and networks. For example, a school policy on the use of IT would consist of each user signing an

acceptableuse policy. It would also address unlawful access to the network through, for example,

identity theft or using hacking software, and how these transgressions would be treated. Many

websites also require users to agree to specific policies before allowing access to their services.

Policies also affect the exchange of information, for example, by making it subject to copyright

laws and raising peoples awareness of plagiarism. In general, policies can promote or restrict

access, guide behaviour, require the fulfillment of certain conditions prior to or during use, or

need to be developed to address unforeseen issues such as cyber-bullying.

2)Insurance: The formal contract issued by an insurerthat contains terms and conditions of the

insurance coverand serves as its legal evidence.

3. Management: The set of basic principles and associated guidelines, formulated and enforced by

the governing body of an organization, to direct and limit its actions in pursuit oflong-term goals.

People and machines: The use of IT systems brings significant advantages, for instance in ease of

use, being available 24/7, or through its use rather than exposing humans to a potentially

hazardous environment. However, this can raise concerns about the rate at which technology is

being introduced and issues that may arise from insufficient testing in critical situations such as

air traffic control. The ultimate fear of many people is that future systems will be programmed to

make decisions that would be better taken by humans, such as the decision to deploy nuclear

weapons. There are also social impacts such as internet addiction, where people feel that they can

never get away from IT and are trapped on a digital treadmill.

Digital citizenship Digital citizenship can be defined as appropriate behaviour that represents the

responsible, ethical and legal approach that individuals take in any situation with respect to the

use of IT. Digital citizenship permeates, in one way or another, all of the preceding social and


10/10

ethical considerations. Other specific social and ethical considerations Other social and ethical

considerations may emerge during different scenarios discussed in class. These may be related to

changes in attitudes towards the use of IT systems, or new developments in IT such as social

networking or e-assessment.
