Standard Identifier:
9-12.IC.30
Content Area:
Computer Science
Grade Range:
9–12
Concept:
Impacts of Computing
Subconcept:
Safety, Law, & Ethics
Practice(s):
Communicating About Computing (7.2)
Standard:
Evaluate the social and economic implications of privacy in the context of safety, law, or ethics.
Descriptive Statement:
Laws govern many aspects of computing, such as privacy, data, property, information, and identity. International differences in laws and ethics have implications for computing. Students make and justify claims about potential and/or actual privacy implications of policies, laws, or ethics and consider the associated tradeoffs, focusing on society and the economy. For example, students could explore the case of companies tracking online shopping behaviors in order to decide which products to target to consumers. Students could evaluate the ethical and legal dilemmas of collecting such data without consumer knowledge in order to profit companies. Alternatively, students could evaluate the implications of net neutrality laws on society's access to information and on the impacts to businesses of varying sizes.
