Random Thoughts


ACCESS DENIED!

Upon reading the title, what comes first in your mind? Is it the computers in the lab wherein if you’ll type facebook.com or freindster.com in the web, the result “ACCESS DENIED” will pop out? Or is it the porn sites you’ve visited a while ago at the internet café and you tend to brush your head because it was “ACCCES DENIED”? Well, these are some examples of the things related to ethical issues, and I’ve assumed that all of us knew about GMRC.

When we say ethical, it is the right thing to do; doing things morally. From the root word “ethics” which is derived from the Greek “ethos”. The ancient Greeks were greatly interested in issues of philosophy and thus we may consider ethics to relate to the philosophical study of the way in which we act. The Oxford English Dictionary also defines ethics as the science of morals in human.

As one of the students taking up the subject “Professional Ethics”, I was amazed that our world consists of lots of ethical issues. Ethical issues begin at one self. Then, it exists at family, at friends, at school, at church, at workplace or any other places. We can’t assure that any single days of our daily life, we can’t commit unethical things.

Let’s take closer look about the computers in our lab. It is unethical to surf on the web especially facebook.com and friendster.com while the professor is discussing his lessons. Right? By doing so, we disregard the presence of the professor and at the same time, disrespect him. The effects? The professor got mad and formulated a quiz. The result? Most of the students got ZERO! It is just one of the basic ethical issues but it can create big impact to us (students).

So learning from it, let’s focus more in the moral side. Listen carefully to the discussions and be attentive always! Cooperate! Now, it’s a GOOD THING that these words: “ACCESS DENIED” exists.
