1.- Describe how these social and ethical issues are related in the movie. A paragraph for each social and ethical issues.

In the movie Anti-Trust we can appreciated various ethical issues. First we can talk about security. In the movie, most of the programs developers were being threaten of getting stolen their files. This happens because Gary Winston, the owner of a big software company, had the idea of creating a program called Synapse. In the process of making this idea a reality, he stole programming codes from other developers and he present them as his. Second, let's talk about authenticity. Gary Winston is the whole opposite of this word. He wanted to create a incredible program, but he stole ideas from others. This makes his program not a 100% his ideas and his contributions or his company's. He used a combination of others work and he didn't recognize the work, investigation and effort of the real creators of the codes. In fact, he even killed one of the developers to use his idea as his own. Next, we can observe another relevant ethical issue in the movie: Privacy. In order of making his idea true, Gary ordered the placement of several cameras in the working places of other developers that weren't from his company to spy them. In this way he could watch the discoveries of this people and steal it. That is against these people rights. Because they have the rights of working in peace and without getting stolen their files. Forth, there is another mayor aspect to analyse. Surveillance. Surveillance is to monitor the activities someone do. Gary Winston did this in the movie when he observed the other developers from the cameras he ordered to place. The movie took place in the United States of America, and in that place, survelliance is illegal. Therefore we can assure that observing this developers works was illegal. Lastly, we can discuss about intellectual property. The intellectual property isn't respected in the movie by Gary Winston. He stole various codes and ideas from others and he presented as his own. He didn't give any credit to the real creators of the codes. And he get to the point of murdering in order to use the codes from others. 2.-Summarize the message from the movie. This movie have many message for us to learn. First, we have to be authentic and develop our ideas and create them by ourselves. Also to recognize the work form others and always give them credits. It shows us how people can be in order to stole our ideas. We have to remeber to protect our files and be honest with our discoveries. But the most important is without any doubt: don't trust anyone. :D
