Required Resources
Read/review the following resources for this activity:

  • Textbook: Chapter 13
  • Lesson
  • Minimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook)

Introduction
Some people believe that you can tell who a person is by what they do when no one is looking. Let’s look at the following case. John Doe, a nurse, has downloaded an application to her phone that allows him to download copyrighted textbooks for a nursing course (that Doe is going to take) without his Internet Service Provider knowing it. The application is called “Cloak” as in cloak of invisibility (a hooded coat one wears to make it so others cannot see you). The application disguises his phone and makes it so the information on it is inaccessible. John is aware that other people who are of a lower socio-economic status (like him) also use this software program for the same reason (and to save money). John Doe knows that his religion forbids him from using this application to download in this manner. John Doe is focused on his own economic situation and does not consider the publisher, author, and others involved in the books. Think about a course of social action; what social values should be used to address this moral issue and conflict.

SOLUTION 

The virtue of ethics renounced with me on a personal level because it’s what morals we should display, and I think the world would be a better place if we would practice and live by these virtues. These are great qualities that makes up the foundation of a person and there is no law against them because they are just and ethical, and when they are practiced, they produce excellent results. These virtues qualities are not taught but are constructed as an individual adapt and confine to situations, faced despair but they prevailed unshaken tried and true. What is taught can be forgotten or changed to suit circumstances, but these qualities are genuine and sad to say most lack these essentials and the duty to self and community overshadow the idea of being ethical and doing what is right. Situations can cause individual to derail but if the qualities are true and imbedded you will trust yourself look the other way and do the right thing always. To me these qualities were given to correlate with love which is the center of everything ….please click the purchase button below to access the entire solution at $5
