Ethics Sceneario
Privacy- When sitting at a restaurant you should not pull out your phone and talk about stuff people really don't want to hear about. Such as personal information with your doctor, plans for the week, or anything along those lines. This is very unethical because not only is it a disturbance to the others around you, but now they know a lot about you from eavesdropping and they know your week's plans.
Property- While writing an essay and you get stuck never go online and steal someone Else's essay that they worked hard on. This is taking credit away from the person who actually deserved it and its falsifying information. This is unethical because he is taking someone work away from them and they didn't work on it just for it to be stolen.
Appropriate Use- When actively using a service or website that requires personal information, it is not fine to lie about age or information that is required. This is unethical because people will believe someone you are not and you are creating a false identity.

Broad Ethic Statement
Individuals should act ethically according to how they would want others to.
