Computer ethics is a part of practical philosophy concerned with how computing professionals should make decisions regarding professional and social conduct.[1]
Margaret Anne Pierce, a professor in the Department of Mathematics and Computers at Georgia Southern University has categorized the ethical decisions related to computer technology and usage into three primary influences:[2]
- The individual's own personal [ethical] code.
- Any informal code of ethical conduct that exists in the work place.
- Exposure to formal codes of ethics.
