POV 1
Yes, hacking can be an ethical practice if done for the right reason. In the cyber security industry hackers are often hired to test security systems and repair flaws in those systems, so without early education, the growing industry might lack the skill and manpower it needs to protect our cyber space.
POV 2
No, students already use their intuition with technology to disrupt the learning environment, and educating them on how to abuse their devices even further in a more, calculated and efficient way would be dangerous and only make the situation worse.
Writer's POV
Cyber security is a growing and very crucial industry in today's technology-driven world, and teaching hacking to students would help accommodate the industry and open students minds to not only cyber security but other non-conventional career pathways, by improving their problem-solving skills and satisfying their curiosity.
Justification
I've decided to base my reflective project off of a part of the technology career-field that I find very interesting and controversial. I have an interest in learning hacking skills and pursuing a career in cyber security. This interest didn't really arise from watching tv shows or movies that involve hacking, but rather through my experience with cyber security at the computer shop that I work at, as well as what I've seen in my brothers career. My brother works as a network technician, and he explained to me the complexities and strength of security in cyber space. So, with all these efforts being made to secure cyber space, I became very interested in how exactly some people surpass these security measures.
