                      WHAT ARE INTERNET ETHICS?

                  We all know that Internet has become an important part of our day to day activities. We use
                  the Internet to search information, sending or receiving mails, online banking, shopping, etc.
                  Internet ethics are the good practices that one should follow while using the Internet. Some of
                  the Internet ethics are as follows:

                       One should not fool others by hiding his/her identity while using the Internet.

                       One should not use rude or bad words while using e-mail, blogs and social networking
                       websites.
                       One should not share personal information with unknown people.

                       One should not access the websites which are inappropriate.
                       One should not use other's username and password to access his/her e-mails.


                      WHAT ARE UNETHICAL PRACTICES?
                  An unethical practice is an action which is not considered Ethical. The action which is not considered

                  morally right or good for a person, a profession or an industry is an Unethical Practice. These
                  unethical practices are considered as Cyber Crimes. Some of the common cyber crimes are
                  stealing other person’s bank details and spreading virus in the computer system. Let us discuss
                  some more unethical practices one by one.

                  Plagiarism

                  Plagiarism is simply taking other person's work, and instead of giving credit to the person who
                  actually prepared that, presenting it as your own work. An example of Plagiarism is when you
                  download a PowerPoint presentation on cyber crime from Internet and without mentioning the
                  source of that information, represent it as your work.

                  Dictionary.com describes Plagiarism as:

                       An act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author
                       without authorization.

                       Representation of that author's work as one's own.
                       Not giving the credit to the original author.
