Undoubtedly, there needs to be a certain degree of arms proliferation in all countries in order to secure their borders from external or internal threats. However, when the military budget of countries like the USA, the world´s largest power, is far greater than the budget destined to meet other needs of the State, these latter ones are unavoidably neglected, to the detriment of the country´s people. On the other hand, if a greater budget is destined to the building of infrastructure, history shows —like in Japan and Germany— that the economy becomes less dependent on warfare and relies more on human capital and culture.
The question then becomes whether economic gain through arms proliferation is more advantageous to the welfare of the people or if the wellbeing of the people —through the building of infrastructure— is more beneficial to any given government. Since the wellbeing of the people is, in principle —based on the International Bill of Human Rights—, the aim of all countries, these should be more preoccupied with the building of infrastructure.
Using one or more actual engineering-related cases as well as some workable ethical theories, argue whether
or not the SECEPP is a coherent and comprehensive code of conduct for the computing/IT profession. In
the support for your argument, describe some virtues of the ethical codes of conduct adopted by professional
societies such as the ACM and IEEE-CS, and list some shortcomings of these professional codes as well. In
your final analysis, discuss whether the advantages of having a code outweigh the prospects of not having
one.
