Module1 and Module 2 Asessment!!!

Q:If you are to become a part of the VSU team who will formulate a handbook like that of Virginia University, give at least 2 policies that you want to be implemented in VSU or even just for CS students like you, regarding computing. Also include sanction or sort of punishment to those who will violate the said policy.
Ans. Given the chance, the two policies that I want to be implemented here in VSU are:
        a. E-Learning or MOODLE (like what we have in DCST) will be implemented in every department and each student will have their own moodle account so that they can access everything about their course and their respective subjects. And it is students duty to get an update of school and course related activities as well as subject's exercises found in moodle. Failure to make an update without a valid reason will have its own consequences-meaning no update-miss the exercises and activities.
        b.Students will be given 1hour per day or five hours per week a free internet so that they can update their moodle account as well as make their school works. Using the free internet for personal gain/interest or use it for activities outside school scope will be sanctioned no free internet for the whole semester.

Q:According to the definition of ethics, it can be connected to the norms or custom of the society. What could be ethical to one, could be unethical to another. If this is the case, in which ethics seem to be subjective in nature, why is there a need to study computer ethics at all? Support your opinion with facts.
Ans.In this world, some specially those who can't afford a meal three times a day would really find a way to excel their living even in unlawful way. Human as we are, it is ethical because it isn't wrong  to make a living for your family's sake but we have to take it in mind that there are many ways to improve your way of life where in you can't harm other people or even put yourself in danger and most of all you have abide the law. So, it is very important to study ethics so that we will be reminded of what is morally right or wrong and be a responsible individual.

Q:There are 4 types of non-jural law. Divine, natural, moral and physical. If you are to practice just one type of the non-jural law for the entire existence of your life, what would it be and why? 
Ans.If I were to practise just one type of the non-jural law, I guess it would be moral law because sometimes, we can do things which is not in accordance with the moral law but what's good in it is that the next day or some day we would wake up and realize that what we did is wrong and that we can change it for the best. And for me, that is what moral law constitute.
