Step 1. Understanding the situation
A: List and number the relevant facts.
1. Clare Valerian works as a systems analyst for the significant electronic
equipment distributor Califon, Inc.
2. Clare Valerian's main duty is to ensure that the 127 end users at
Califon's U.S. headquarters may access data, post to accounts, send
and receive email, and execute any other tasks that require access to
the local area network of the business.She identifies as a coordinator
and problem-solver.
3. Clare Valerian spent a lot of time travelling to various locations inside
the various company structures.Because she had to go and examine
what the user was seeing on the screen, the phone was useless.
4. Her workweek has drastically transformed thanks to a utility software
called LANSCAPE.She can address user issues without even going to
the users' workstations and terminals thanks to the utility application
and telegraph at her desk.
5. Claire can watch other network users' activity and even take control of
them thanks to the LANDSCAPE programme. Her usual first task when
she sits down at her workstation is to scan through her email for any
potential problems, print the messages, open LANSCAPE, and call each
user one at a time.
6. Clare has enough time, in fact, to examine user activity without their
asking her to.Troubleshooting has shifted from being reactive to
becoming more proactive.Without the users' knowledge, she can scan
a large number of users, and when she finds one who needs
assistance, she can intervene and provide it.
7. . Instead of updating the record for each entry, Harry can speed up
that numerous posting to a single client by utilising the TAB key.Yes, in
that way.I am happy to help.
8. Last week, Art Betnoy, vice president of information systems, and
Clare met to discuss LANSCAPE with their employer, the director of
user support.Without this application, I would have to monitor every
user's activity in every system test and move between different
buildings, Clare stated.I can keep an eye on them from a distance using
LANSCAPE.
9. LANSCAPE is affordable and simple to use.I wholeheartedly support
keeping it in use and advise getting more copies to give to all support
staff.The three continued by talking about how using LANSCAPE has
increased user satisfaction and productivity.
10. Executive Vice President Alberta Wilson and Art were having their
customary Tuesday lunch.Art kept admiring LANSCAPE without
ceasing.The LANSCAPE application, according to Art, doesn't alter
anything on customer screens.Because my team needs to view exactly
what the users see, that system feature is obviously important.
11.Alberta said “Could you install LANSCAPE on my terminal, in my
office?”
12.Art replied “Of course. But what value would that be?”
13.Alberta leaned forward and whispered, “I shouldn’t reveal this outside
the Human Resourcesdepartment, but I think I want to enlist your
support. Here at headquarters, we may have oneor more persons
dealing in drugs. We have suspects but not proof.
14.They take orders during company timing and deliver it to the
customers.
15.We tried varioussurveillance methods with no success. What I want to
do is use LANSCAPE to randomly checkon what the suspects are doing.
Then, if we catch them red‐handed, we’ll have our evidenceand we
can prosecute.”
16.Art frowned and said, “Gee, I don’t know if I should give you that
software, Alberta. Let me think about it and get back to you.”
B : Which of these raises an ethical issue? Why?
What is the potential or resulting harm?
1. Clare valerian primary responsibility is to make certain that the 127 end‐
users in Califon’s U.S. headquarters can access data, post to accounts, send
and receive e‐mail, and accomplish all the other duties they need to
perform on the corporation’s local area network. She describes herself as a
facilitator and troubleshooter.
2. The LANDSCAPE program allows Clare to view and actually take over the
activities of network users. Typically, her first task upon arriving at her desk
is to check her e‐mail messages for trouble spots, print the messages, bring
up LANSCAPE, and call each user one at a time.
3. Clare even has time to scan user’s activities without their making a request.
Her troubleshooting has become more proactive than reactive. She can
scan a number of users without their knowledge, and when she finds one in
trouble, she can interrupt and help.
4. Last week Clare and her boss, the Director of User Support, met with the
Vice President of Information Systems, Art Betnoy, to evaluate LANSCAPE.
Clare said, “Without this program, I’d have to control the activities of every
user in every system test and move from one building to the other. With
LANSCAPE, I can watch over their shoulders without being there.
5. Art was having his usual Tuesday lunch with his boss, Executive Vice
President Alberta Wilson. Art couldn’t stop praising LANSCAPE. Art said that
The LANSCAPE program doesn’t change anything on customer screens. Of
course, that’s necessary feature of the system because my people have to
see exactly what the users see.”
6. Alberta said “Could you install LANSCAPE on my terminal, in my office?”
7. Art replied “Of course. But what value would that be?”
8. Alberta leaned forward and whispered, “I shouldn’t reveal this outside the
Human Resources department, but I think I want to enlist your support.
Here at headquarters, we may have one or more persons dealing in drugs.
We have suspects but not proof.
9. They take orders during company timing and deliver it to the customers.
 10.We tried various surveillance methods with no success. What I want to do
is use LANSCAPE to randomly check on what the suspects are doing. Then,
if we catch them red‐handed, we’ll have our evidence and we can
prosecute.”
11.Art frowned and said, “Gee, I don’t know if I should give you that software,
Alberta. Let me think about it and get back to you.”

Step IV. Making a decision and planning the

implementation
So our final decision is that in regarding this situation as we use different
principles and theories and observe from different aspects that Art should not
give the software to the Alberta Welson because he could make an unethical use
of it and he could damage the privacy of many people.
