Lack of ethics education for computer programmers shocks expert
This article is about New Zealand&#x27;s schools but This is absolutely correct in the US too. We are seeing the results of programmers not understanding or caring about what their code skills can do. Viruses, black hat hacking and privacy invasion are partly due to people in the computer industry not understanding or caring about ethics. 
None of my computer courses included ethics as part of the lectures or reading. But I&#x27;ve taken business courses that at least touch on ethics. And if you are planning to get a degree in Law,Medicine,Genetics and business you will be taking courses that teach ethics. You can even take complete courses on the subject to meet requirements but in the computer sciences field it&#x27;s not standard or required.<p>With the impact computer technology has on our society we definitely need to start teaching it in schools.
