Teston and Daniel extended a research to early adolescent software piracy. The purpose of the study was to compare the attitudes, reasoning, and behavior in two groups. It says in the article “Early adolescent technology students who view software piracy as ethical and early adolescent technology students who view computer-based piracy as unethical” (68). The definition of ethical is pertaining to or dealing with morals or the principles of morality; pertaining to right and wrong in conduct. The definition of unethical is not morally correct. The objectives of this study was to determine any difference in value orientation toward traditional, determine any difference in the moral reasoning levels of early adolescent technology education students who view software piracy as ethical and those who view software piracy as unethical, determine if moral orientation toward software piracy is related to actual general ethical behavior, determine if their adolescent technology education students’ software ownership is related to their moral orientation, and determine if there is a difference in software piracy attitudes among students in a technology education class compared to middle school students who have not had a technology education class.

    I believe that “owning” the tangible helps to build moral character, but there is a fine line where “ownership” can become detrimental. “Ownership” is not detrimental until the object becomes idolized. “Owning” the tangible goods helps to build sense of self. As Aristotle claims, “ownership of tangible goods helps to develop moral character.”

  • Chapter Summary: The Marketplace Of Revolution

    520 Words  | 3 Pages

    The author’s purpose in writing The Marketplace of Revolution is to explain how Colonial America performed popular mobilization, revolutionize the way that people think of the American Revolution, and the causes of it also from an entirely new light that is incredibly different from any other historian that has ever told the story of the uprising of the American colonies against the all-powerful rule of the British monarchy. The author also sets out to show that the popular mobilization was not just a fluke or something that just come out of nowhere. This tells the story of why so many people came to the same conclusion of, “Give me liberty or give me death!” and fought back against seemingly insurmountable forces. The colonists had to overcome all the things that separated them and become united as a singular force. (pg.

    “Young children are just beginning to learn how to discriminate between right and wrong; in other words, they are developing a sense of morality” (Levine, 2016). They simply are developing the knowledge of what is right and what is wrong form themselves, but what the moral development helps them to know the difference in right and wrong and the best interest for others rather than themselves. “So, what is understood about morality as a child in middle childhood, is generally the level of reasoning most individuals will use in moral dilemmas or judging the morality of situations” (S. Tulane, personal communication, April 18, 2017). This development has an influence on everything that happens around them and the behaviors around

  • Summary Of Studies Find More Student Cheating

    249 Words  | 1 Pages

    In the article “Studies Find More Students Cheating, With High Achievers No Exception,” Richard Pérez-Peña explains the increase in cheating among high achieving students and how they are being enabled. Initially, Pérez-Peña suggests that new technology has made cheating easier by allowing the student to obtain the answers at a click of a button. Technology allows students to instantly connect to the internet and other students to communicate answers (Pérez-Peña 1). This indicates that it is unchallenging for students to use technology to secure an ample grade. Furthermore, in disregards to ethics, parents have become enablers to students cheating in recent years.

  • Webster's Essay On Property Vs Freedom

    132 Words  | 1 Pages

    Webster states that equal land distribution is more important to freedom, than free speech, trial by jury, or other rights, because “wherever we cast our eyes, we see this truth, that property is the basis of power; and this, being established as a cardinal point, directs us to the means of preserving our freedom.” (111) With this statement, Webster presents the people with the idea, that free speech, trial by jury, and other rights does not present the same significance of power or freedom, that owning property does. Therefore, people should be fighting for laws, which abolish the right to inherit land, rather than the right to speak freely. Once one accumulates enough land, they hold the power to freely express the rights, which are referred
