Assignment:
· Identify an ethical issue in a technology context (100 words). This could be any ethical issue or dilemma that presents as a result of the invention, modification, usage, or design of a technology. After identifying it, explain why you believe this an appropriate topic to analyze in an ethics class–what are the moral hazards or advantages, either real or potential? Who has moral status in this ethical issue?
· Analyze an ethical issue with respect to the following (150 words)
o Its social/historical/technological significance–e.g., is this a unique moral issue or is it just a new spin on an old moral issue? What is happening now that makes this a matter of concern?
· What is your moral judgment on this issue and why? (100 words) Be specific and use support for your reasoning.
· Identify practical solutions to the issue if applicable, then identify whether your solution is social or technological in nature, or a combination of both. If this is not solvable, explain why or speculate. (150 words) Social fix=a solution involving, for example, changes in behavior or new policies. Technological fix=a solution involving technological changes (to software or hardware) or new technologies. Example: a social fix for video game addiction could be advocating for more public dialogue about the problem, whereas a technological fix might be to embed code that regulates how long a person can play a game.
