Identify whether or not the situation presented represents an ethical use of technology and resources. an employer monitors personal blogs and photos of his employees and restricts them from posting updates on social networking sites outside of office working hours.

This is NOT ethical! An employer may monitor personal blogs/photos of his employees, but he CAN'T restrict them. Outside of work the employer has no control over what their employees post or do!

Hope this helped!

The given scenario represents an infringement of personal privacy. It is unethical for a company or business to restrict its employees from using personal resources outside of business hours. An individual’s blog or personal photos are part of the individual’s private property as long as they do not conflict with the person’s work or company interests.

PLATO

Explanation:

cognitive overload: having a lot on your mind impairs decision-making and tends to result in the simplest, but not necessarily best, option being selected.

empathy gaps: overlooking how you might feel in a different situation can result in unnecessary purchases, such as overbuying when shopping for food on an empty stomach.

optimism and overconfidence: wearing rose-tinted glasses and having unrealistic expectations about the future can affect money management and leave you unprepared for a change in circumstance.

instant gratification: seeking instant gratification drives impulsive spending and can undermine long-term planning and savings.

harmful habits: automatic or mindless behaviour can amplify a poor financial decision as it becomes a recurring event.

social norms: we are heavily influenced by the actions of others; while this can be in certain circumstances, it also contributes to the pressure to keep up with the joneses through conspicuous consumption.
