B. Lesson Proper
A. Activity
The teacher groups the students into 4 and asks them to create
do’s and don’ts users must know in using the internet and the
computer.
Analysis
The teacher asks random students to answer the following
questions:
1. In using internet and computer, what are the do’s and
don’ts?
2. Why is it important to govern a rule in using computer?
B. Abstraction
The teacher discusses the Computer Ethics.
 Ethics is a branch of philosophy that deals with determining
what is right and wrong. It also refers to a set of moral principles
that govern an individual or a group on what is
considered acceptable behavior while using a computer.
People rely on computers to handle the more tedious details of
their social, business, and financial lives. Imagine what would
happen if an enemy or a business competitor got access to your
email account, bank account, Facebook profile, and company
website? They could destroy your reputation in a matter of
hours. Therefore, we need to study Computer Ethics.
The idea of Computer Ethics was invented in 1950 by MIT
professor Norbert Wiener. Norbert predicted that the world
would undergo “a second industrial revolution” — an “automatic
age” with “enormous potential for good and evil”. Today we live
in that world! Why did he say this? Airplane drones can bomb a
target while the pilot is safe in a computer room thousands of

miles away. Criminals can use phishing and other social

engineering techniques to steal your financial information while
sitting safely in another country. Companies can create
confusing privacy policies to gather and use information about
you without your knowledge or consent. Governments can block
access to information using firewalls. These are all very serious
ethical violations that happen every day without people’s
concern. That is why being aware of Computer Ethics is very
important especially for those people who mostly depend on their
life on their computers.

The main concerns of computer ethics are Internet privacy

cracking, copyright infringement, and Internet control. The
Computer Ethics Institute (CEI) has laid these 10
commandments down for people to follow.

The Ten Commandments of Computer Ethics

1. Thou shalt not use a computer to harm other people.
2. Thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work.
3. Thou shalt not snoop around in other people's files.
4. Thou shalt not use a computer to steal.
5. Thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness.
6. Thou shalt not use or copy software for which you have not
paid.
7. Thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without
authorization.
8. Thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output.
9. Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the
program you write.
10. Thou shalt use a computer in ways that show consideration
and respect.
What is Netiquette?
It is a combination of the words network and etiquette and is defined as
a set of rules for acceptable online behavior.

Both phrases are frequently interchanged and are often combined with
the concept of a ’netizen’ which itself is a contraction of the words

internet and citizen and refers to a person who uses the internet to
participate in society and an individual who has accepted the responsibility
of using the internet in productive and socially responsible ways.

The Core Rules of Netiquette:

1. Remember the human.
2. Adhere to the same standards online that you follow in real life.
3. Know where you are in cyberspace.
4. Respect other people’s time and bandwidth.
5. Make yourself look good online.
6. Share expert knowledge.
7. Help keep flame wars under control.
8. Respect other people’s privacy

C. Application
The teacher asks the students to develop strategies for making
ethical decisions when using computers through essay.
