  • Discussion #2 The Use and Restoration of Ecosystems

    Part A: Address the following topic in your discussion post. (Required)

    • Describe one way you can contribute to the protection or restoration of a terrestrial, freshwater, and ocean ecosystem. Be sure to explain what you are willing and able to do.

    Part B: Respond to a classmate’s post with helpful suggestions or steps they could take to succeed with their contributions. (Required).
    respond to Madalyn Rhoades:

    One way I have contributed to the protection of a freshwater ecosystem was conducting salamander surveys in a variety of freshwater habitats over the summer. Salamander species are great environmental indicators and can provide a lot of helpful information on stream quality. These surveys are still being conducted at Jug Bay wetland sanctuary and are providing a lot of useful information about the streams which are actually about to be restored. When I am home, I try to go out and help with these surveys, and I wrote the protocol they are still using to do these surveys. I also am available to help with the identification of salamanders they find or any questions the volunteers have.

  • week 6 discussion

    The number and magnitude of data breaches have been increasing at retailers, banks, government agencies, and other institutions. The management team at your company has decided to develop plans for dealing with data security breaches. Because your company has many employees who telecommute and you employ a high percentage of contract and temporary employees, there are many factors to consider.

    • What policies would you recommend to help ensure that insiders (including direct and indirect workers) do not steal sensitive corporate data or compromise the integrity of the computer system?
    • Write a suggested computer and data access procedure when an employee (including direct and indirect workers) terminates. What steps should be taken to protect the companys IT data?

    Ethics and Morality So the first sub-topic explains the difference between ethics and morality. Morality is a system of rules that guide how people should act, such as rules like do not steal or do not harm others. But Ethics is the study of those rules and how we decide if they are right or wrong. The chapter gives examples like copying software without permission, which connects to the moral rule against stealing. The idea is that people do not just follow rules blindly. They also study them, question them, and try to understand why they exist, and that is where ethics comes in.

    Characteristics of a Moral System The 2nd sub-topic explains what makes a moral system work. A moral system is public, meaning everyone should know the rules, and informal, which means it is not always enforced like official laws. It is also rational because it is based on logical thinking, and impartial because the rules should apply equally to everyone. The chapter explains this using the blindfold of justice idea. If people made rules without knowing their future position in society, then they would likely create fair rules so that no group is treated unfairly.

    Ethical Theories and Moral Reasoning The 3rd sub-topic focuses on how people use ethical theories to make decisions in difficult situations. The chapter uses the trolley problem as an example. In one situation, a person can switch tracks to save five workers but cause the death of one person. Some people think saving more lives makes the action right, while others believe intentionally causing harm is always wrong. These different reactions show how ethical theories help people think through moral problems and try to apply consistent reasoning when making decisions.
