  My name is Arthur and I attend UW Tacoma. I am majoring in Information Technology with minors in Business Administration and Technical Communication. I will be graduating June 2022 with the hope to find a job in Architecture, Product Design and Project Management. I envision myself working somewhere that will allow me to better the world. I want to use the power of technol ogy and design to CE power communities and people. I want to do something that allows me reimagine what it means to love what you do! I love to play sports and hang out outdoors. Being active and on the move is something that keeps me moving in life (pun intended). 

I will be using this post to talk about Ethics. After reading about the Social activists, it reminded me of the ethics class I am currently taking. Ethics to me is very simple and common sense.

With technology emerging, we need to think about the moral and ethical consequences this brings as well. Is what Snowden did ethical? Questions like this came to my mind when I was reading the assigned readings. Questions like this are very hard to answer because, on one hand, Snowden allowed a lot of people to benefit from this but on the other hand, this affected governments across different countries and many corporations. I do think it's a valid question but it goes back to making ethical decisions simple. Does the harming of the governments and corporations overweigh the good it did to the rest of the people across the world? I still think it was the right thing to do...

My Thoughts On:  Anonymous Anonymous is a group known by many as activists and freedom fighters. This group allows for information that the government and big corporations try to hide from the public. I believe this group is heroes. They provide information and support to protests and information that are not made public but should be. In the most recent event with Russia and Ukraine, Anonymous stepped up and "declared cyberwar" which exposed Russian government agencies and disabled various websites. If I had the skills they had, I would defiantly utilize them to do my part in allowing everyone to be aware of what's going on. I think once Anonymous does something that harms people actual people and not government and big corporations is when they have crossed the line.   Source :  Anonymous Wikipedia Snowden Snowden to me is considered a hero. He stepped up for the people before the people even knew what he was doing, He saw what the government was doing was wrong and saw...
