A CASE STUDY

I. Persons Involved

|Latoya - |The one who was writing an email to|
| |Jeff. She is Marcus’ sister. |
|Marcus - |He is Latoya’s brother. He wanted |
| |to get rid of Jeff, so he changed |
| |her sister’s letter that was |
| |addressed to him but it wasn’t |
| |stated in the story if he had sent |
| |it, since he was uncertain about |
| |what he’s just about to do. |
|Friend who called….- |The one who called on the phone for|
| |Latoya. This person is the reason |
| |for the interruption Latoya had |
| |when she was writing her e-mail to |
| |Jeff. |
|Jeff - |This guy is Latoya’s boyfriend to |
| |whom she had quarreled with. He is |
| |also Latoya’s recipient in her |
| |e-mail. |

II. Time Context

- The problem occurred when Latoya, Marcus’ sister, left the computer for a phone call the moment when she was about to finish doing an e-mail for his boyfriend.

III. Case Viewpoint

- In the stated story, at first it is possible to mistakenly assume that the problem is on Latoya’s part. But actually, the one person where the real problem is centered to in here is on Marcus’, Latoya’s brother. He has the problem since it was obviously being implied in the story that he had intruded her sister’s privacy by checking at what her sister’s e-mail message contain, & to whom it was supposed to be sent. Not only did he interfere on her sister’s business, but he had also manipulated and changed the letter because he wants the recipient to be rid from her sister. He wanted to guard and protect his sister from her boyfriend because he maybe doesn’t want her sister to be hurt.

IV. Statement of the Problem

- Marcus intruded in his sister’s letter of apology and he even changed it rudely so that his sister would be rid from the recipient. The problem is that when Marcus was about to send it to Jeff, he was hesitating if it would be proper to do so.

V. Statement of the Objectives

- To conclude if what Marcus had done was right.

- To identify the reasons why Marcus had done such a thing.

- To provide a course of action on the problem of the one involved and;

- To answer the discussing questions that were given by the teacher.

VI. Statement of the Alternative Courses for Action

- If we are to be in Marcus’ shoes, it is possible that we could have done the same thing in aim to guard and protect our loved ones from those who hurt them. But, we should always remember that protection could be done the right way. In Marcus’ case & problem, we could suggest that instead of secretly protecting his sister,:

1) He should rather confront her sister about it, so as to give way for him asking what he can do to help.

Or,

2) He could rather communicate personally to Jeff or use his own e-mail to message and communicate with him in an approved manner (with respect) regarding his & her sister’s argument- stating his concerns about his sister & ways on what he recommend to help resolve the conflict between them.

VII. Conclusion

- We therefore conclude that it would be best to resolve problems that are tamely approached. With that, you don’t allot another space for the rise of a new conflict and you also as well avoid misunderstandings. While a letter may be a good form of approach, we still believe that personally talking to the one who’s concerned is still the finest. Also, invasion of privacy must not be done since we all have our own businesses. Manipulating other’s work is also not tolerated in Cyber Ethics even though it is done for a good cause, since it is not you the one who is in charge in dealing with the problem. Doing it so could cause harm and more damage to the real person involved on the situation, so we should always remember to think before we speak, especially if we’re representing the name of other people.

VIII. Discussion Questions

1) Why did Marcus hesitate in sending the message?

- Marcus hesitated to send the message to Jeff since we could conclude that maybe his conscience was bothering him. He knew the concept of what is right & wrong and what he is about to do is obviously not right since it can cause damage to the real person involved- which is his sister, that is why he was uncertain if he should hit send or not.

2) By using his sister’s account, did Marcus steal from her? Why/ Why not?

- Yes. We think Marcus stole from her sister, but not literally. He stole in a way that he used his sister’s name through his sister’s e-mail account, & changed the content of the message her sister was doing without her even knowing.

3) Why is privacy important? Does it seem to be important to Marcus?

4) Does Marcus believe in “Treat others as you would like to be treated”?

    Marian suffered from a heat stroke causing her body to experience hyperthermia. Marian body went through the process of homeostasis from experiencing hyperthermia. “Homeostasis is a state of body equilibrium or stable internal environment of the body.”(Marieb 8) Homeostasis protects the body by allowing it to adapt to the environment. Marian homeostasis tried to cool the body but failed. Though Marian was lucky her daughter found her in time. When a heat stroke occurs the body’s homeostasis shuts down where the temperature can reach high enough to cause brain damage to where you die. Heat strokes can cause damage internally well as externally. Hyperthermia causes a positive feedback mechanism within the body. “A positive feedback mechanism is a feedback that tends to cause the level of variable to change in the same direction as an initial change.”( Marieb 9) When the body stimulus rises the hypothalamus’s thermoreceptors start to work as the body’s thermostat. The thermoreceptors send messages allowing the hypothalamus to make temperature changes in the core. When the core starts to raise the heat loss mechanism starts one or two things: “dilation of cutaneous blood vessels or enhanced sweating.”(Marieb 833) “Dilation of cutaneous blood vessels is where the vessels swell with warm blood, heat is lost from the radiation, conduction, and convection” (Marieb 833) Some symptoms for a heat stroke are “throbbing headache, dizziness and light-headedness, lack of sweating despite the heat, red hot skin, muscle weakness or cramps, nausea and vomiting, rapid heartbeat, which may either strong or weak, rapid shallow breathing, behavioral changes such as confusion, disorientation or staggering, seizures, and unconsciousness.”( http://firstaid.webmd.com/heat-stroke-symptoms-and-treatment)…

    If the court applies the doctrine of stare decisis in the case where the members of AOL that got their information mistakenly made public are filing a suit again AOL then the court would not dismiss the suit. AOL is arguing that its forum-selection member agreement states that Virginia courts are the place where member’s disputes will be tried. However, according to the Supreme Court a forum-selection is basically irrelevant if it contravenes with a strong public policy. Stare decisis means that the court must uphold prior decisions. And in the state of California, courts have declared in other cases that the AOL clause contravenes a strong public policy. Therefore, if the court applies stare decisis the suit will not be dismissed and the members of AOL can continue with their case against AOL in California.…
