Social, Ethical and Policy Implications of Information Technology

By Linda L. Brennan, Victoria Johnson - 2004

Legal and ethical issues have become a standard part of engineering and business schools' curricula. This has not been the case for computer science or management information systems programs, although there has been increasing emphasis on the social skills of these students. This leaves a frightening void in their professional development. Information systems pose unique social challenges, especially for technical professionals who have been taught to think in terms of logic, structures and flows. In Social, Ethical and Policy Implications of Information Technology, edited by Linda L. Brennan and Victoria Johnson, sixteen contributors focus on the human impact of information systems, including ethical challenges, social implications, legal issues, and unintended costs and consequences.

Communication rights enable all people everywhere to express themselves individually and collectively by all means of communication. They are vital to full participation in society and are, therefore, universal human rights belonging to every man, woman, and child.
