Abstract

Ethics has become an important part in the interaction among humans being. This paper specifically discusses applied ethics as one type of ethics. There are three applied ethics that will be reviewed in this paper, i.e. computer ethics, information ethics, and cyber ethics. There are two aspects of the three applied ethics that were reviewed, i.e. their definition and the issues associated with them. The reviewing results of the three applied ethics are then used for defining e-Government ethics and formulating the issues of e-Government ethics. The e-Government ethics position, based on the previous three applied ethics, is also described in this paper. Computer ethics, information ethics and cyber ethics are considered as the foundations of e-Government ethics and several others applied ethics could enrich the e-Government ethics.

The ethics regulates human behavior in doing something, whether someone doing the right thing or wrong thing. In [6], it is described that Ethics is a branch of philosophy that studies morals and values Another definition states that the field of ethics (or moral philosophy) involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior [7]. Normative ethics takes on a more practical task, which is to arrive at moral standards that regulate right and wrong conduct [7]. This may involve articulating the good habits that we should acquire, the duties that we should follow, or the consequences of our behavior on others [7]. A diagram of this concept will be used to describe the position of the e-Government ethics
