Ethics and discussion | Computer Science homework help

 

This is the second of a series of five assignments focusing on software engineering ethics.

Read the attached Ethics-II.pdf Download Ethics-II.pdfwhich continues the discussion on what Ethics mean  in the context of software engineering.

Then proceed to answer the questions inside the reading:

  • Questions 2.1 and 2.2
  • Questions 3.1 and 3.2

Question 2.2: What kinds of character traits, qualities, behaviors and/or habits do you think mark the kinds of people who tend to contribute most in these ways? (Answer as fully/in as many ways as you are able)
