Talking about privacy, how far would you go for the sake of social justice? Justify.
Answer :
I believe in the world of computing specifically in the internet or the www, there is no such thing as privacy. Social justice issues will always be there. It is the responsibility of every individual on how are they going to maintain equity, solidarity, and value human rights and recoginize one's dignity. Everyone can make a difference in promoting social justice and eliminating social injustice. Invading someone's privacy or rights will always into chaos or trouble. So respect and being responsible, I think will somehow resolve of this issues.

Module 10 - Social Justice Issues
Is social justice evident in the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Corona? Discuss.
Answer :
Yes, social justice is evident in the case of the impeachment trial of Chief Justice Corona. Now, we have seen that even a "Chief Judge" does not act in accordance to the principles of equality. He is now accused of "graft and corruption" and betrayal of public trust because of his hidden wealth and properties and excluding it in his Statement of Assets, Liabilities and Net Worth. Yet, he was given a chance to defend himself from the said accusations. Clearly, social justice is seen this situation.

What computer abuse would you like to eradicate? How would you do it?
Answer:
I think the most common computer abuses today is piracy like in softwares, movies, other media files, etc.
This problem is growing bigger and bigger every year. If I am in the authority and given a chance to eradicate
this problem, the first thing I will do is to search the web and find out web sites that offers pirated, cracked
or illegal downloadable files that are copyrighted like torrent sites, etc. .
Second, I will find out who are the people behind those sites and file a case or arrest them.

Module 7 - Computer Hoax Categories
There are still enormous sources of misinformation on the world wide web, so how can you determine what is good information and what is bad information?
3. Does the author have publications in peer reviewed (scholarly and professional) publications, on the Web or in hard copy? (If an author does not have peer reviewed articles published, this does not mean that she or he does not have credible information, only that there has been no professional "test" of the author's authority on that subject.)
4. Are there clues that the author/s are biased? For example, is he/she selling or promoting a product? Is the author taking a personal stand on a social/political issue or is the author being objective ? Bias is not necessarily "bad," but the connections should be clear.
5. Is the Web information current? If there are a number of out-of-date links that do not work or old news, what does this say about the credibility of the information?
6. Does the information have a complete list of works cited, which reference credible, authoritative sources? If the information is not backed up with sources, what is the author's relationship to the subject to be able to give an "expert" opinion?
7. Can the subject you are researching be fully covered with WWW sources or should print sources provide balance? Much scholarly research is still only available in traditional print form. It is safe to assume that if you have limited background in a topic and have a limited amount of time to do your research, you may not be able to get the most representative material on the subject. So be wary of making unsupportable conclusions based on a narrow range of sources.
8. On what kind of Web site does the information appear? The site can give you clues about the credibility of the source.

Answer :
Anything you want to know can be found in the world wide web or the internet. Determining what is good or bad information matters and there are things you need to consider before you rely or believe on what you got or what you have read.
1. Is there any evidence that the author of the Web information has some authority in the field about which she or he is providing information? What are the author's qualifications, credentials and connections to the subject?
2. With what organization or institution is the author associated? Is there a link to the sponsoring organization, a contact number and/or address or e-mail contact? A link to an association does not necessarily mean that the organization approved the content. Anything you want to know can be found in the world wide web or the internet. Determining what is good or bad information matters and there are things you need to consider before you rely or believe on what you got or what you have read.

Module 5 - Moral Problems
Today, it is a fact that a lot of Filipino women are into online GOLD digging. You know what it means, right? Suppose one of them is your sister who happens to be your family's breadwinner. What would you do on this matter?
Answer :
Yes, it is a fact that internet is used in "GOLD digging" and most of them in our country our women but there are also men and the "homosexual" who are into these things. Can we say that they're bad people? No, I think we can't say who they are or what they are. We don't know exactly what are their reason(s) and what they've been through to do such thing. Most of these people who are into "gold digging" are just trying to make their lives and their family better. I believe this kind of situation fall into Immanuel Kant's theory on happiness which is the "Hypothetical Imperative" which means that an action is good for some reason and therefor conditional.
Now, "IF" it happens to be my sister who is into this thing and our family's bread winner, the only thing I could do or say to her is that she should stop it, be decent enough in helping our family, it's not good and morally wrong, and someday you will pay for it.
