Technology, Morality, and Ethics

LAS 432 WEEK 5 DISCUSSION 1 Technology, Morality, and Ethics This week, we will explore the concept of ethical thought. As your lecture points out, there are many different ethical arguments, but two large groups of thought are deontological (largely associated with the work of Immanuel Kant) and telelogical ethics (largely associated with John Stuart Mill). The first believes that we should judge our ethics based on the idea of universal understandings. For example, it is logical that all persons do not wish to be harmed, so ethically we can establish a principle based on this. So, under this line of thought, if it is ethically wrong to harm a person, then the death penalty must be ethically wrong, because it violates this principle. If you follow this ethical approach, all ethical questions must be evaluated in accordance to these universal principles. In contrast, telelogical ethics, which utilizes utilitarian thought, looks to the outcome of the action and weighs if it is good based on its impact on the majority. For example, in considering the idea of the death penalty again, one must weigh whether utilizing the death penalty benefits the majority of the population. If the majority is helped, then the action is viewed as ethically sound; if the majority is hurt, it is not. In understanding these thoughts and approaches, what do you think about cloning? Is there a universal thought it may violate? Or can it be considered as good for a majority? What are your thoughts, and what are the different questions that can be raised behind them? What are some of the ethical challenges presented by pre-implantation genetic screening (PGS) and savior siblings?

LAS 432 WEEK 6 DISCUSSION 1 Technology and Modern Culture

What are some of the ways that the ease and simplicity of our current technological devices have led us to surrogate our daily responsibilities onto these devices? How do these make us vulnerable to errors, risks, and/or failures? Please include examples, and be as specific as possible. I’ve been invited to a party this month, to celebrate a friend’s 75th birthday. He has made one stipulation: no cell phones or other electronic devices. This includes cameras. He has made it clear that, if you can’t spend one evening in celebration without texting, checking voice mail, taking photos or checking social media, then you are not welcome to celebrate with him. How many of us check your phones at the dinner table? Or text someone more than you actually talk with them in person? What impact, good or bad, can you see this having on our societal structures?
