Visual Maps 1–4

Map 1 — Chapter 2 mental skeleton

WHY ethics matters
├─ Impact on People
├─ Potential for Misuse
└─ Economic Value / Ownership
          ↓
HOW to judge
└─ Ethical Principles
          ↓
WHERE failure appears
└─ Ethical Risk Patterns
          ↓
HOW intent becomes behavior
└─ Practices + Controls + Culture + Governance

Interpretation: the three lenses explain why ethical responsibility exists; principles guide judgment; risk patterns show how handling can go wrong; culture/Governance make the standard repeatable.

Rebuild: draw the three top boxes, a principle box beneath, then split the bottom into “Recognize Risk” and “Operationalize Ethics.”


Map 2 — Four ethical principles

Respect for Persons
→ dignity + autonomy + meaningful agency

Beneficence
→ minimize harm + maximize possible benefit

Justice
→ fair and equitable treatment

Respect for Law & Public Interest
→ legal + wider public responsibility

Recognition cues: - autonomy / choice → Respect; - unnecessary invasiveness / risk-benefit → Beneficence; - disproportionate group treatment → Justice.

One dilemma can involve several principles; select the one most directly implicated by the decisive clue.


Map 3 — Privacy as recurring management themes

Purpose
Limit / Minimize
Accuracy
Retention
Safeguards
Transparency
Accountability
Participation / Redress

Treat these as recurring themes, not an invented sequence and not a claim that OECD/GDPR/PIPEDA/FTC are identical.

Rebuild: write all eight headings, then one “what this prevents” phrase under each: hidden reuse, overcollection, bad values, indefinite retention, unauthorized exposure, opaque practice, no owner, no correction/redress.


Map 4 — Six unethical-practice risk patterns

1 Timing
   → misleading observation window
2 Visualization
   → misleading scale / visual framing
3 Definitions / Comparisons
   → unlike populations / undefined terms
4 Bias
   → systematic slant
5 Integration
   → weak provenance / meaning / quality / change history
6 Obfuscation
   → masking does not guarantee anonymity

Exam rule: classify first, fix second. Naming the distortion mechanism usually points toward the better response.

Source anchors: Chapter 2 pp. 51–63.
