The stakeholders in this article are lawyers, clients, the software developers, and law firms. The social and ethical issue is people and machines, more specifically, the fact that software is replacing the work of "armies of expensive lawyers." The area of impact is business and employment. The issue here is that law firms are now starting to use this new software in order to replace spending a lot of money of many lawyers to get the same job done. Law firms are able to save their money by investing in this software instead of multiple lawyers. They are also able to save time because the software is able to go through information faster than humans are able to. Clients are also able to save their money because they are paying law firms less to get the same job done. This is a chain reaction. The software developers are also able to make more money now that this is becoming more popular because they are able to continue building on and improving the software they have now and then selling it later on. The issue is that lawyers are being replaced by this new software. A job that used to take 500 lawyers, could now take 1 lawyer, along with this new software. This is an important issue to pay attention to because eventually it might lead to unemployment, even though there are no signs of it now.

This article is about the issues that India is now facing because they are the world leader in IT outsourcing. The IT system in this article is the call centers that are located in India. The area of impact is Business and Employment. Outsourcing provides jobs for the citizens of India. Their employment is at risk because of the fact that India now has to compete against other countries for the same outsourcing jobs. The stakeholders are the Indian workers, global customers, competitors, and the companies who are outsourcing. The Indian workers now need to work even harder to keep their jobs because there are other countries who are trying to step up their people so that they could be capable of doing the same work. For example, Africa is starting to become well-known in the world of outsourcing because they have the same amount of talent and can also speak English. India is no longer the first country that comes to mind when companies are thinking about outsourcing. Other countries are willing to do the same job for less money, leading for companies to choose them over India. There have also been cases where the customers are not satisfied by the calls that they make offshore. This would play into the decision of the company of whether they want to move their outsourcing site or not. One issue mentioned in the article is security. There have been instances in which a customer's financial information has been sold by unscrupulous employees. By outsourcing, the head company is putting a lot of trust in the company they hire to do the job. They are risking their customers' satisfaction by allowing foreign countries manage their operations. Although a call center may not seem really important in the company, the workers are still dealing with customers of the company and should make sure to keep them satisfied. If the customers are not satisfied, they would probably take their money and invest in another company who would give them a more secure experience.

In this article, RFID is being used in the business world. People are now able to purchase phones with the capability of making purchases by moving it over the terminal. RFID technology allows people to stop using credit cards, making the process of buying something even more convenient. The stakeholders are the credit card companies, the people using this new technology, and the stores with the terminals that read RFID. Credit card companies need to have a good security system to ensure their customers and users that their information will be kept safe on the RFID chip. The people who are switching to this new technology are risking their private information for convenience. The stores with these new RFID terminals are also risking their customers' private information because there is a possibility that their system could be hacked. The area of impact is Business and Employment. Businesses are switching to this new technology because it is convenient for them as well as their customers. The main issues that arise from using RFID are security and reliability. The RFID terminal needs to be reliable so that every customer is able to use the RFID chip on their phone to make purchases. The security issue is that a hacker may be able to get into the system to read customers' private information. It may also be possible for a hacker to carry around a portable terminal that would be able to store people's private information on it for future usage. The security system described in this article sounds like a good start, but more needs to be done to keep up with the technology that is growing along with it.

The article that I read was about the Chinese government trying to control what is being posted on social networking sites in China. The government claimed that the woman was "disrupting social order" by retweeting a satricial message about Chinese protesters smashing the Japanese pavilion at the Shanghai World Expo. The woman who was responsible about retweeting the post was sentenced to a year in a labor camp. Twitter is the social network that is involved with this article. The issue here is control. The government is trying to control what their citizens say online, as well as what their citizens are able to see. From the Chinese government's perspective, controlling what is posted on social networks is beneficial for them because they are able to control how the citizens are thinking. For example, if citizens are not exposed to negative ideas about the government, they might not ever think of the government to have any flaws. From the perspective of the Chinese citizens, this has a negative effect on them because their freedom of speech is taken away by the government. They are not allowed to post their opinions on their social networks.

A system of electronic mapping has been developed that allows different types of data to be layered onto a single image. It is being used to improve the health care in Rwanda. These digital maps are called Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The database is compiled of information from different doctors working on cases of malaria. This brings up the issues of reliability and integrity. The information in the database needs to be reliable enough for the doctors to use in treating patients with malaria. It affects both doctors and patients, but the patients are being affected the most because they are the ones being treated. If the information is inaccurate, the patients may be placed in dangerous situations.
