Ethical Issues...

Welcome back to my blog this week.

Because the topic that I am writing about is how women globally have used technology to change their story and drive their society in a direction that empowers women not break them down and treat them like objects - there were great ethical issues to read about.

Because most of the women that I am going to reporting on and talking about are form countries such as China, Korea, various Middle Eastern countries and Africa - the ethical issues were not the only questions that came up but as for Ethical I couldn't read enough about them.

So for example in China, the internet and what you are allowed to do on it is highly regulated by the government.  So, if a female created an ecommerce site without the support of the government - and not even support but approval - what would happen to her?!  What laws were broken?  What options did she have to work around ethical gray area to make her idea possible?  There are extremes that play out that more often than not do not turn out positively for the person involved.

But, then again, we must ask the questions regarding the IOT and global economies.  

Honestly, while the ethical issues are extremely interesting and important - for the focus of my paper it is the sociological and political aspects that really drive the message that I am looking for.  Ethics change from each and every person you talk to because they are personal and influenced easily - but government regulations and reactions are what get people listening, acting and fighting for change.

Till next week.
