What specific principles for conduct can be used to guide ethical decisions? Why do contemporary information systems technology and the Internet pose challenges to the protection of individual privacy and intellectual property? How have information systems affected everyday life? Learning Objectives Ask students what their first impressions are after seeing these objectives.

If not, explain that they will be surprised to learn that information systems affect almost every area of daily life. Can students explain how the Internet poses challenges to privacy and intellectual property? Ask them how Google, Facebook, and peer-to-peer networks are related to these issues.

Would they like to know what information companies like Google have about them? Do they feel comfortable that they can control and manage their online personal information, or, do they feel they have no control over this information? Ask students if they want any privacy anymore. Some experts believe there is no privacy anyway, so why demand privacy now.? Do they think they “deserve” privacy? Why? On what grounds do they claim a “right to privacy?” .
