Beschreibungen/Notizen
The ethical issues involved in the construction of intellectual capital can be summarized by means of an acronym, PAPA, which stands for privacy, accuracy, property, and accessibility. Two forces endanger privacy: 1. the growth of information technology, and 2. the increased value of information in decision making. Misinformation has a way of ''fouling up'' people's lives, particularly when the party with the inaccurate information has an advantage in power and authority. There are substantial economic and ethical concerns surrounding property rights, which revolve around the special attributes of information itself and the means by which it is transmitted. Currently, there are several imperfect institutions that try to protect intellectual property rights. The main route to information is through literacy. The clear moral imperative is that information technology, and the information it handles, must be employed to enhance the dignity of human society.
