employed, their families would lack subsistence means, and those kids would have to
choose between dying of hunger and begging, stealing and roving. It is certain that
education, health and psychosomatic development of the children that work while still
young, are affected, and their future is sombre. By removing an appreciable number
of children from the educational circuit, the qualification of labour from the poor
countries stagnates at a very low level, with long term consequences in the
development and modernization of these countries. Thus the evil is done at individual
as well as at social level.
5)The measures taken to protect the employees constitute a problem for
international companies in terms of their public image in the origin countries and less
in the weakly developed countries in which they operate., although it is the employees
in poor countries that suffer. In the third world the labour legislation is weakly
developed or practically inexistent, thus the standards for protecting the personnel at
the work place are very low compared to the developed countries. That’s why
multinational corporations take much fewer measures for protecting the labour in the
branches from the third world as they do, forced by the legislation and by the public
opinion. In their origin countries, as a consequence there are many accidents, with
victims and grave mutilations of the employees at the work place. It is imperatively
required that the multinational companies should be more exigent in terms of work
safety. They don’t reject the idea and take some measures, but not much, invoking
profitability and competitively. If they spent as much as necessary for the safety of the
employees, the costs would increase significantly and if some competitive companies
don’t’ take these measures, they risk to be pushed out of the market, which should
bring back again the old dramatic dilemma of the workers from the poor countries:
risks and low salaries, versus no salaries. All that can be achieved through good
intentions is a compromise of the two requirements – the economic and the moral
ones.
When we want to talk about these we have to have an emphasis on people more than
on simple technological actions in themselves. The teologic perspective on hackers is
that they’re nothing else than the effect of sin that once entered in the world affects all
its domains. No punishment will succeed in removing these deeds, because the real
change of man should not start from the exterior towards the interior, but from interior
towards exterior. The majority of those who are caught and jailed will not learn
anything from this experience, but this doesn’t mean they don’t deserve to be
punished for what they did, but they have to realize they need a change from interior
towards exterior. When their heart will be good, when their thoughts will be pure,
when their conscience will not condemn them anymore because their deeds are good,
then they will be truly changed. But it is not enough to condemn just the sin, thus
becoming irresponsible for our deeds. The sin has entered the world through the first
people but this doesn’t mean we’re not able to be the masters of the sin. We have to
respect ourselves and for the ones around us, because once we have this respect we
will not allow ourselves to enter the private domains of those around us without
asking for permission.
4. SECURITY OF INFORMATION SYSTEMS AND E-CRIMINALITY
The impressive development of technology led to an increase in profits, on the one
side, and to an increase in dangers and fearfulness on the other side. As the electronic
media become more accessible to the general public, the informatics criminality is
