“…Allied ethics look into how we can think ethically about specific issues as students move in pursuit of education across the nations, for example, as they encounter changes that demonstrate the power of learning and living new ways. Similarly, the gears of globalization with learned students have imposed many challenges to the maintenance of the traditional values and beliefs in African universities, where Western and European cultures can be learned and practiced well in almost all spheres of life because of increased inventions of information channels, such as internet, radio, social media, and mobile phone [10]. Implicitly, globalization has been noted as the agent of macro-changes in African cultures and mediated through such as media and higher education.…”

Students move from one stage to another in moral ethics development through experiential, academic, and planned ethics learning. Nevertheless, as they move to public HLIs, it becomes inevitable to face a dilemma for moral choice because universities operate and function under value-free education policy regardless of the discipline of study. Through the ethnographic review of the literature, the authors have discussed the implications of “moral ethics” on students’ behavior management; the relevance of students’ ethical standards to public university cultures on first-time entrance; students’ response to new public university cultures on retention overtime through “academic freedom;” African students’ appraisal of their initial “moral values” on first-time entrance in public universities; future possibilities to learning with new cultures geared by “globalization” in the African context; and observations for implementations of ethics education and training. Authors recommended that moral and civic education should be included in higher learning curricula and that the faculty be aware that facilitating an environment for students’ development in ethical decisions is part and parcel of teaching and learning. Therefore, professors need to think about how to accommodate a diversity of students’ ethical perspectives to guide the first entrant into university culture.

“…According to Ngwainmbi (2019), Governments and the general public have different opinions of what roles media play. On the one hand, enemies of the government such as terror groups and militia look at media as a collaborator since they publicize their events whether it"s hurting national security or not, while on the other hand, governments try to suppress this by all means (McDonald, 2013b).…”

This study sought to investigate the complex relationship between journalistic activities and national security. The study answered the following questions: At what point should reporters put aside their professional and career interests for the sake of national security? Should press limits be selfimposed? What obligations do journalists have when it obtains information with national security implication? The study used content analysis to measure these thematic areas. The analysis used 18 newspapers drawn randomly from publications by The Daily Nation and the standard newspapers in Kenya between October 2011 and February 2012. It searched for narratives that undermined government efforts to safe guard national security, caused fear among citizens and undermined the Kenya Defense forces efforts in fighting the Al-Shabaab. The study found out that 64% of the articles exposed government moves geared towards protecting Kenya's national security, 37% caused fear among citizens by exposing the attacks to Al-Shabbab hence retaliation was eminent and 81% did not care about secrecy of information as they exposed crucial information from the government that could endanger Kenya's national security. The study concluded that journalist should be trained on ethical reporting and guided on how their coverage can either salvage a national security crisis or make it worse.

“…Almost all of our people in every house, both in the city and even in the villages, always present various forms of technology work as part of the completeness for the house's residents. The work of communication and information technology, such as social media, can make a child become a "stranger" that, due to globalization [9], has become so freely present in the family, teaching its users anything at any time, changing lifestyles, bringing new habits, even said that the need for technology as a form of sophisticated hypnotism that can change their behavior and the way they communicate with others. High access to internet use, such as two sides of the currency, on the one hand, provides many benefits but, on the other hand, raises new social problems.…”
