research and discuss this statement, with regards to the social and ethical responsibilities of the software developers in terms of the content and purpose of their software task and in terms of the types of, and content of, the software documentation that is provided with their software.
in your answer, you will need to address legal issues, moral issues, and issues of possible discrimination against any persons in the community. You should also consider how people with carious roles in a software development group might be able to address the possible social and ethical issues associated with the development of software by a group of people...

You'd be surprised how much easier it is to understand a question by formatting it in paragraphs and dot points:

"Decisions that are made by and for software developers can have a wide-ranging effect on the community." in your discussion refer to this quote to build your discussed response

Research and Discuss this statement; your answer response needs to be a discussion, identify issue provide point for and against

Including the social and ethical responsibilities of the software developers in terms of
- the content and purpose of their software task
- the types of and content of the software documentation that is provided with their software.

In your answer, you will need to address
- legal issues,
- moral issues, and
- issues of possible discrimination against any persons in the community.

You should also consider how people with various roles in a software development group might be able to address the possible social and ethical issues associated with the development of software by a group of people.
