Ethics in Graphic Design Thesis - Eileen MacAvery Kane

i emailed Eileen MacAvery Kane from http://www.ethicsingraphicdesign.org as she's written a thesis on Ethics
 in
 Graphic 
Design she replied and it's a very informative document that explains and lays out all the sides of ethics within the industry that we the student going into the aforementioned will need to know and consider "This 
thesis 
suggests 
that 
we 
can
 use 
three 
different 
lenses 
to
 explore 
and
 discuss
 ethics
 in
 graphic 
design 
curriculum 1)
legalities— the
 rules 
that 
govern 
the
 profession 
including
copyright 
law, 
piracy, 
plagiarism,
 fair
use,
and 
photo
 manipulation 
2)
integrity—principles 
of 
right
 conduct 
including
 spec
work,
 crowd
 sourcing,
 and
 responsibility 
to 
clients 
and
 contracts 
3)
morality— the 
general
 nature 
of
 moral
 choices 
to
 be 
made 
by
 a 
person
 including 
sustainability, 
social
 awareness,
 and
 cultural 
influence." she goes on to devote a small chapter to each of these points to explain them in greater detail and to inform the reader of the problems we might encounter here's a link to a pdf download of the thesis http://www.mediafire.com/view/?s7cqat1nbxjqjk4
