You are enjoying your job as a summer intern in the IT department of a local company. At lunch yesterday, several people were discussing ethical issues. You learned that some of them belong to IT organizations that have ethical codes to guide members and set professional standards. For example, your supervisor belongs to the Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), which has over 100,000 members from more than 100 countries and a website at acm.org. Your supervisor said that the ACM code of ethics is important to her, and would definitely influence her views. On the other hand, one of the senior programmers believes that his own personal standards would be sufficient to guide him if ethical questions were to arise.

Because you are excited about your career as an IT professional, you decide to visit ACM's website to examine the code of ethics and make up your own mind. After you do so, would you tend to agree more with your supervisor or with the senior programmer?
