Essay / Justification of a Moral Claim: ICT System Errors and How...
Justification of a Moral ClaimThis article focuses on the considerations that go into any moral claim situation in situations involving information technology information. The core of the argument of this article is contained in the following schematic representation of a situation involving a moral claim: The subject of the case study has a valid right to the correction of his data in computer systems. The data entry in his case was done in error and, according to ACS Code of Professional Conduct 1.2.4, skill was not displayed and an "effort to provide products and services that correspond to the operational and financial needs of your stakeholders' values” has been cruelly observed. according to ASC 1.2.1, the public interest was not met in that there was no distinct attempt "to identify those potentially affected by your work and explicitly consider their interests » ; nor was there any attempt to see inside the seriously distorted social system of the woman, whose pension was reduced to a negligible figure due to poor data entry on her assets and income in computer systems. Centrelink managers were also insensitive to ASC 1.2.2 in that they failed to appreciate or "take due account of the perceptions of those affected" by their work and attempted to "increase feelings of satisfaction personal, competence and control of those affected” by their work. They also lacked professionalism within the meaning of point 1.2.6 of the ASC, as they made virtually no “effort to expand public knowledge and understanding of ICT”. The case study recounts another erroneous data entry and its deleterious consequences that almost double the negative debate above regarding Centrelink. Centrelink ICT systems exist in the middle of the document......explained in the following source: “At this stage, people begin to take into account the different values, opinions and beliefs of others. The rules of law are important for the maintenance of a society, but members of society must agree on these standards.” (Kendra, 2014)ReferencesFinlay, Stephen (2007).
