Topic: First, download and read the Software Engineering Code of Ethics and Professional Practice (SECEPP), including the Full Version:

https://www.computer.org/cms/Publications/code-of-ethics.pdf

Note especially this statement in the Preamble of the Full Version: “The Principles identify the ethically responsible relationships in which individuals, groups, and organizations participate and the primary obligations within these relationships.”

In addition, read “The Spider-Man Principle” (below—2nd page of this assignment).

Then, in your paper, please do the following:

· Describe at least four ways in which software engineers exercise power in the “ethically responsible relationships” to which the Preamble statement above refers.

· For each these ways software engineers exercise power in these relationships, explain what “responsibility” (i.e., obligations) come with that power, as prescribed by SECEPP.

THE SPIDER-MAN PRINCIPLE

Spider-Man: The Movie features the memorable line, “With great power comes great responsibility.” This can be seen as a corollary of a more general precept I call “the Spider-Man Principle”: With power comes responsibility. Because, every day, each of us “exercises power” when we do things—even small acts—that affect the welfare of other people, the Spider-Man Principle is the essence ofethics. That is, it expresses the cardinal assumption underlying all ethical evaluation of conduct: Any power I have to affect you can be abused—when I use it irresponsibly, violating ethical obligations I have to you. Consequently, the basic ethical question I face when I exercise power, making choices that impact other people, is: What are my responsibilities (obligations) to those who will be affected by my choices? In other words, when I touch their lives, what do I owe them? Whether he or she recognizes it, everyone, in every domain of life (business, medicine, law, government, education, personal relationships, etc.), is confronted by this question throughout the day every day. From an ethical point of view, then, we act ethically when our behavior conforms to the Spider-Man Principle—when we use our power to affect others in ways consistent with what we owe them, given the circumstances and the nature of our relationships with them. Of course, sometimes our ethical obligations to different people (stakeholders) conflict, in which case we have to decide what action is the fairest, most publicly defensible way of dealing with the conflict.
