2.07. Identify, document, and report significant issues of social concern, of which they are aware, in software or related documents, to the employer or the client.
Despite certain software being of great importance to society, many an
occasion has been reported where the content of functionality of such software
had not been in par with the beliefs of certain social groups, thus resulting
in calamity. If we make an in-depth inquiry as to the reason behind such
incidents, more often than not, it becomes evident that the ignorance of the
employee and lack of keenness software engineers have shown to enlighten them
of social concerns is the basis for it. Following this code is of immense
importance in avoiding such conflicting situations, and in refraining from
getting involved in unnecessary issues in future.
Even though public discussion regarding the matter respect to morality has
become the norm in the current society, it must be stated that such topics are
not always met with an equal amount of enthusiasm by all groups. Since a
application which is exclusively dedicated to such a topic is by far more
effective than a random speech regarding the same issue, the fervor with which
it’s accepted or rejected too tends to multiply by the dozen. Hence, groups
which may believe that consumption of beef is actually a right of theirs may
express great displeasure towards a project as this, and they would no doubt
readily get the backing of parties which are directly involved in slaughter of
animals. This was a major concern of ours since the very commencement of the
project, of which we had to constantly make our client aware and get his
personal opinion of how precisely he intends to handle such matters should any
conflicts occur in future.
Existence of a code which dictates the necessity of identifying and
reporting such social concerns to the employer helps them get prepared to
encounter those in a much effective manner should they ever occur.
