Introduction

• Information societal has been defined as the
  branch of Societal that focuses on the
  relationship between the creation,
  organization, dissemination, and use of
  information, and the societal standards and
  moral codes governing human conduct in
  society.
• It provides a critical frameworks for
  considering moral issues concerning
  information privacy, moral agency (e.g. whether
  artificial agents may be moral), new
  environmental issues (especially how agents
  should behave in the ionosphere), problems
  arising from the life cycle (creation,
  collection, recording , distribution, processing
  etc.

Social Issue of IS

• Social issues are matters of concern to
  governments and the community. They reflect
  aspects of society, its people and institutions
  that people want to, and can, do something about.
• In terms of IPT, Social issues include
• The cost to the community of switching to
  computer-based systems
• The potential for society to divide on the basis
  of the "information rich" and the "information
  poor"
• Increased "white collar crime" such as Internet
  fraud and identity theft.

Information Pollution

• Information pollution is the contamination of
  information supply with irrelevant, redundant,
  unsolicited and low-value information. The spread
  of useless and undesirable information can have a
  detrimental effect on human activities. It is
  considered one of the adverse effects of the
  information revolution.

Societal Ethical Hacking

• Social engineering, in the context of information
  security, refers to psychological manipulation of
  people into performing actions or divulging
  confidential information. A type of confidence
  trick for the purpose of information gathering,
  fraud, or system access, it differs from a
  traditional "con" in that it is often one of many
  steps in a more complex fraud scheme.

Design of IS

• System Development Life Cycle
• It is a process of creating or altering
  information systems, models and methodologies. It
  has 5 fundamental phases.

14
Planning

• It is the fundamental process of understanding
  why an information system should be built and
  determining how the project team will go about
  building it.

15
Analysis Design

• Analysis
• Analysis is the process of breaking a complex
  topic or substance into smaller parts to gain a
  better understanding of it
• Who will use the system?
• What the system will do?
• Design
• How the system will operate?

16
Implementation Evolution

• Implementation
• The system will be actually built.
• Evolution
• Think about new technology and new invention.
• Evolution is a process whereby an organism
  becomes better able to live in its habitat.

Conclusion

• New computers technologies for gathering,
  storing, manipulating , and Communicating data
  are revolutionizing the use and spread of
  information. Along the way, they are also
  creating ethical dilemmas. The speed and
  efficiency of Electronic information systems,
  which include local and global networks,
  data bases and programs for processing
  information, force people to confront
  entirely new Rights and responsibilities in
  their use of information and to reconsider
  standards Of conduct shaped before the
  advent of computers. IS users who hold
  private Information have the ethical
  obligation to keep their private
  information, like name, Address, E-mail and
  phone numbers safe from criminals or others
  who may misuse that information. IS users
  must use both logics and ethics to
  determine who can Access what information
  on the IS.
