Introduction
This report consists of two case studies that are analyzed properly based on
their social, ethical, cultural and legal issues.
This report outlines the ethical standards of the ICT solutions maintained for
the social benefits of the organization.
Case Study 1
1. In the given case study, an internal website company is trying to test the
website of their company both the internal and external testing process. The
company is willing to include equal proportion of internal and external participants
in the usability testing [1]. The internal testing of the website of the company is
maintained by the internal employees of the company. The internal employees are
not willing to involve the external participants in the usability test. Therefore, there
are sine ethical issues are imitating n the scenario. The ICT department id the
company have to maintain the situation and analyses the ethical, social and cultural
issues.
The involvement of the external participants helps in analyzing the impact of
the services provided by the company with the help of the website in the market.
The feedbacks of the external participants are helpful for the analyzing the
loopholes and gaps in the working of the website of the company. An online survey
might be organized during the usability test that might help in collecting the data
and information of the company. The contents of the website and external
participant together help in analyzing the loopholes and gaps in the website [2]. The
usability testing of the website include the analysis of the design and developing
module of the website. Therefore, both the designer and developer of the team
have to be consulted for the usability testing.
According to the ACS, the primary public interest of the participants is
necessary or the development of the website in the market. The code of honesty is
important during the consent of the testing in the company [3]. The results and
outcomes of the testing has to be maintained properly and kept secured. The
competence with the stakeholders of the company is an important part for the
usability testing. Therefore, the code of the professionalism has been an important

part in the maintenance of both external and internal participants of the testing is
important for their expertise in the role of the ICT in the industry. The purpose of
the consent for the external participant have offered the professionalism of the
internal participants of the company. The internal participant’s feels quizzed for the
usability testing of the website [4]. This helps in analyzing the testing of the website
in proper way. The use of the ACS in the usability testing of the website of the
company have helped in analyzing the contingency factors included in the internal
and external participants of the testing [5]. This has provided flexibility to the
participants to join or leave the testing purpose at any time of the process.
Case Study 2
2. The case scenario depicts an apologizing speech of former Prime Minister
Rudd on the behalf of the Australian government. He has apologizes for the policies
and laws that are implemented on the public causing sufferings and loss. They have
apologize for the removal of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Children from their
families. This has caused many ethical dilemmas in the society of the Australia. The
laws and policies have blocked the close gap between the culture, educational
achievement and life expectancy. The speaker have pointed out the daily basic
need of the common public and tried to win the language game. The speaker have
spoken about the emotions of the people that have ignited the trust among the
public [6]. This has created a huge interest among the public for the speaker. The
speaker has focused on the indigenous and non-indigenous Australians in the
government that has been opposing the new chapter story of the state.
3. Procrastination is the act of postponing any task or action at own will. The
procrastination is the act that ca happen in any field of work or at home. This is the
act of the laziness and it committing towards the work. Procrastination shows the
struggle in the self-control over performing a work [7]. I used to play games during
my studies that shows my procrastinate behavior towards my studies. I think the
prime minister has procrastinate behavior in making the laws and order for the
people of the society. The prime minister has not thought about the future of the
people of the society in the Australia [8]. I think that the possibilities of the new
plans and opportunities for the Australians has been lost due to the procrastinate
behavior of the prime minister.
