Course Description:	This course examines the ethical and social issues arising from advances in computer technology and the responsibility that computer professionals and users have with regard to computer use by focusing on the intrinsic link between ethics and the law, how both try to define the validity of human actions, and on the moral and ethical dilemmas created by computer technology that challenge the traditional ethical and moral concepts.
Course Objectives:	Welcome to the Ethical & Social Issues in Information Systems course! In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, information technology has become ubiquitous and permeates almost every aspect of our lives. From personal communication and entertainment to business operations and healthcare management, information systems have revolutionized the way we live and work. However, with the tremendous power and influence of technology comes great responsibility, and ethical and social issues surrounding the use of information systems have become increasingly relevant and pressing. In this course, we will explore the ethical and social implications of information systems, with a focus on understanding how technology can impact society, culture, and individual behavior. We will examine topics such as privacy, security, intellectual property, and cybercrime, as well as the social implications of emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, machine learning, and social media. Through readings, discussions, case studies, and assignments, we will critically analyze the impact of information systems on society and develop strategies for addressing ethical and social issues in the use of technology. By the end of the course, students will have a deeper understanding of the complex relationship between information systems and society and be better equipped to navigate the ethical challenges of the digital age.
