in the Information Age
*Social responsibility refers to both legal and ethical behavior. As an information worker, you will be in many situations where you will have to decide what is both the ethical and legal way to behave. Here are a few situations to consider:
§Making an extra backup of your software just in case both the copy you are using and the primary backup fail from some reason
§Accessing and viewing files or the e-mail of people in your department or on your project team
§Making a recommendation to sell  mailing lists of your company's customers to other businesses
