• Identify the main ethical dilemma involved in this case and undertake further research about it.
• Analyse the ethical dilemma, considering  the different actions by the ICT professional ‘Ken’ (as suggested in the three videos), from the perspective of the Australian Computer Society Code of Professional Conduct.
• Make a recommendation on the basis of your analysis providing reasons for this recommendation.
• Include a Reference list at the end of your work using the correct APA referencing style. You must include at least five (5) quality academic references. Please note that these references are in addition to those provided to you through this subject (for example, you still must reference, Reynolds textbook, the Interact subject lecture notes, links to the three videos etc BUT these references cannot be used as one of your five quality academic references from different sources). All items included in the Reference List must be cited within the body of the report. The word limit is 1500 words ± 10%.

  Note: Headings, citations, references and any appendices do not count towards your word limit, but quotations do. At the start of the assignment indicate in brackets the word count of your assignment excluding those items mentioned above.
