Definition

  • Ethics is a set of moral principals that guide decision-making among people in a society, in a profession, or in a business; it is the thought process that helps people to determine what is right and wrong when they are forced to make a choice. In the digital age, computing has made certain kinds of moral decision-making more difficult than ever, precipitating a desire for the formation of new “computer ethics” or “cyberethics,” and for the creation of a corresponding new field of academic study and research.
