Module 12: Intellectual Property Rights

QUESTION: 

        What is there for to rejoice if you have the intellectual property on something? Would it be a great instrument to the economic growth of the country? Or you are just the sole beneficiary of the fruits you have reaped from what you have sowed? Explain. 

ANSWER:
 

            Having an intellectual property is a great rejoice for me. It is because it maybe an instrument on being a famous one. You may become a role model to anybody; they may follow your steps as one of the innovator. Moreover, it is also a way to help to improve works, make things easy, and most of all it is way to grow your income. And it is a great instrument to the economic growth of the country. It is because as this person leaves on that certain country, the country can also have a share and that’s because of having a tax to a certain invention as it goes to the market and sell it. But, tax is not the only reason why this country can increase its income, and there are many ways to benefit to a certain invention not in a wrong way, and it is in a good way instead. However having this invention is not a sole beneficiary. As you patented this technology anybody can enjoy on using this expertise. Just for an example: Cell phones composed of different patented parts, thus as it manufactured and put into the market anybody can enjoy on using such technology.

            Therefore, I you share your idea, anybody will be happy. But if you only hide it and keep it onto yourself only no one will enjoy.

           

 

Module 11: Free Speech Issues

QUESTIONS:

1. Facebook’s marketing director, who happens to be Mark Zuckerberg’s sister, proposed last year that banning online anonymity would help curtail cyber-bullying and Internet harassment. Then-Google CEO Eric Schmidt made a similar observation in year 2010, noting that “privacy is incredibly important” but “not the same thing as anonymity.” If banning is already imposed or will be imposed would this stop annoying comments against someone freely posted by an anonymous FB user? Is this ethical? Is this against the freedom of speech? Support your answer.

ANSWER:

Yes, it will stop annoying comments against someone freely posted by an anonymous FB user, because this user can never post anything that may cause a bad image to a certain person. Yes, you have a freedom of speech but not all the time, you need to control yourself, you also consider what will be the effect on doing such things and the feelings of other people upon posting such message or any other form of anonymity. 

For me, it is ethical  by that honesty happens, thus he may used not an anonymous FB account. So that, we as a reader we may know who is this person posted such anonymity.

 

2. Is it ethical to blog both awful and pleasant experiences with your ex-girlfriend / ex-boyfriend? Discuss.

ANSWER:

Well for me blogging an awful and pleasant experience with ex-girlfriend is ethical. By that if there is somebody reads my pleasant experiences he’ll maybe inspired. He might used it or apply it to make things good. But then posting awful memories might be not good. Yes it is terrible experiences; however it may give lessons to everyone. In some instance, it is not ethical to show or post the name of your ex’s awful moment. Because, it maybe a reason to destroy the reputation, image and dignity that certain person.
