Students are asked to write a one-page argument for or against a considered unethical computer practice. (Napster is a common example.) The student can also opt to do a media presentation of the issue using PowerPoint or another type of program to present their argument. They also present their argument in class. If they chose not to present it but still hand in the work, points are deducted from the total score.   Ethical Issues PowerPoint Presentation (.ppt/128KB) Ethical Issues: Internet Content Providers and Internet Service Providers by Andrew Meyenn CSTA Member Wesley College Melbourne  At the conclusion of this lesson, students will have an understanding of:  Ethical issues of copyright , Ethical issues of "do no harm" , Ethical issues for ISPs (Internet service providers) , and  How to analyze an ethical issue.    Ethical Issues: Internet Content Providers and Internet Service Providers Contribute If you would like to contribute suggestions for the ethical use of computers, please submit your ideas.
