There are many issues facing businesses in today’s world and how they use technology.  Monitoring employees is a major concern for many companies and employees.  This topic is a little more open than the previous forums.

 

Some possible interesting topics: 

 

Companies that ask for your Facebook password during the interview process.  Do you think this is ethical?  How is it being used?  How can you protect yourself?

What do you think about that awful website … “Rate My Professor”? 🙂

 

Is it ethical to anonymously post negative and possibly inaccurate information?  

 

What would you do if you saw a negative posting about yourself on a site called “Rate My Student”?  Example:  “Don is a complete slacker; he sets low personal standards and fails to meet them.  Do not let him into your class or you will be sorry for the entire semester!”  

 

Or would you be more careful if the person / business could find out who you were and sue you?  (Or possibly change your grade?  🙂  )
