1. If you are to become a part of the VSU team who will formulate a handbook like that of Virginia University, give at least 2 policies that you want to be implemented in VSU or even just for CS students like you, regarding computing. Also include sanction or sort of punishment to those who will violate the said policy.


              1. Downloading is prohibited when using the internet in the department because it will consume most of the bandwidth.
                    Sanction: 1st offense - warning
                                      next offenses  - hard labor in the department equivalent to the number of offenses.
              2. Hacking private files in the department is strictly discouraged.
                   Sanction: 1st offense - probation
                                    next offenses - a grade of 5 will be given to all subjects enrolled in the department.

2. According to the definition of ethics, it can be connected to the norms or custom of the society. What could be ethical to one, could be unethical to another. If this is the case, in which ethics seem to be subjective in nature, why is there a need to study computer ethics at all? Support your opinion with facts.



               There is a need to study ethics because of the following reasons:
                       1. To make us behave like responsible professionals because of the given set of standards on ethics.
                       2. To teach us on avoiding computer abuse and catastrophes like hacking private data.

3. There are 4 types of non-jural law. Divine, natural, moral and physical. If you are to practice just one type of the non-jural law for the entire existence of your life, what would it be and why?



                 If I were to practice just one type of the non-jural law for entire existence of my life i would choose natural law because natural law is a view that certain rights or values are inherent in or universally cognizable by virtue of human reason or human nature so i guess I'm pretty sure its easy to follow unlike the remaining three.

  1. will you be the first to be apprehended of your own policy? Strictly no-download policy? anyways, its true. not just the downloads but also those who are video streaming even during class hours should be a big no no..
