ETHICS AND PROFFESSION2I.Case Study 1Depending on the type of the website under testing, a usability test may include the collecting of personal data if the researcher is requiring the participants to enter accurate data. However, this may be highly unlikely since most of the data collected will be just for testing whether the tool in question is working properly. It is subjective to the ICT department to determine whether or not itwill be necessary to allow a consent form for the internal workers. Since the testing is within the company and for the company, it may not be necessary for the internal workers to need the form. However, it would be necessary to consider the feelings and the opinions of the internal participants before they begin participating in the testing in regard to the code 1.2.2 (c) which dictates that “understand, and give due regard to the perceptions of those affected by your work;”.It would be necessary to design a different consent form that is specific to the internal group. While indeed a consent form is necessary for participants to understand in entirety the terms of the testing, it is also the subjective decision of the ICT department to know what will bring maximum satisfaction while at the same time meet the goal of the testing. In addition, usability testing should be seen as a task that every employee in the company should feel obliged to participate in since their views might be more useful in increasing their satisfaction than the external participants. However, the main determining factor is creating a clear platform for all theparticipants to willingly agree to the terms of the usability testing while respecting and protecting their privacy.II.Case study 2The speaker uses a number of techniques to pin his persuasion. First, he helps his audience understand and appreciate the topic by painting it out to them in words. He acknowledges the Aboriginals' identity and the fact that they are indigenous and the oldest culture. Second, he

ETHICS AND PROFFESSION3seems to understand all the sides of his audience. On one side, the indigenous people which he is trying to persuade to forget and on the other side the perceived wrong doers who might not agree that they are at fault. By putting himself in the wrong-side and taking the blame, he is likely to convince the audience from both sides. He as well acknowledges all the side including the opposition, the government, the indigenous people, non-indigenous, Commonwealth, and state. The speaker attempts to win the language game by simply putting himself in the event, accepting being at fault and urging the wronged people to forgive and move on as a continent. The speaker uses a number of linguistic devices to deliver his point. For example, he uses colloquialism when he says “For the future we take heart...”. Although the word itself is not formal, he uses it relates to his audience more. Another colloquial example used is “righting the wrongs”. Another device used by the speaker is pathos. He describes the injustices of the aboriginals in great details to enlist emotions among the audience. There is also a great use of word choice employed by the speaker. Words such as “great country”, “equal opportunities” and so on are used to create a mood of togetherness and unity throughout the speech.III.Question 3Procrastination refers to the perpetual delay of tasks that are due. It is a serious psychological issue that might hinder the progress and development of an individual. Procrastination comes about as a result of conflicting decisions between the desire to complete the required task and the lack of motivation for doing the same task. It is important to distinguish procrastination and forgetting. While forgetting means you did not remember the task, procrastination, on the other hand, involves being fully aware of the task and what is required to be done. In my experience, most of the task I have procrastinated were tasks that I could have achieved with moderate effort.
