Answer:
You can monitor the company’s network from home and you frequently work from home.Your nephew a college student visiting for a week He asks to use your computer to check his e-mail. Sure, you say. You are a gracious host. What is the ethical problem?
Ethical problem is nepotism.
You are giving special treatment to your nephew by allowing him unauthorized and potentially unfettered access to the company network. Had the person be someone unrelated, you are very much likely to NOT have extended this generosity, despite your claim of being a gracious host.
It’s nepotism because it is highly unlikely you would extend such generosity as a host if the person was not your nephew.
Also, how does a college student in this day and age not afford to bring his own computer for a week’s vacation? Don’t tell me you’re THAT sort of family.
Lastly, no one calls themselves a gracious host, visitors call you a gracious host. People who insist they are gracious hosts are likely not and just deluded.
