Project: Social and Ethical Dimensions of Information and Communication Technology (ICT)
For this project you need to write a 2,000 word essay focusing on the topic below:
In an extended essay, you will introduce and examine an ICT or incident that produces a social/ethical dilemma. You will then propose a re-conceptualization of the object of study, bringing it into compliance with ethical practice, reducing or removing the ethical/social harm.
Each paper should first present data about the role of ICTs in the social/ethical dilemma, briefly describing the technical components of the issue and how these components give rise to a social/ethical DILEMMA. Second, each paper should apply the ethical frameworks discussed in class to the problem discussing how each framework would deal with the issue (particularly utilitarianism, deontology, and Rawls’ version of social contract theory). The third section of each paper ought to be devoted to an argument for which ethical framework best handles the case. What would an ideal solution to the social/ethical problem look like? (here’s where you provide your own, original reasons and evidence – in reference to the theories you explored in the second section) What are some of the roadblocks to this solution being implemented? Given the idiosyncrasies of your particular case study, how might these roadblocks be overcome? Finally, each paper should apply the literature on technology assessment to describe how these roadblocks may be overcome and how your ideal solution might be implemented.
When discussing social/ethical dilemmas, focus on trade-offs between values (e.g., privacy vs. security or convenience) and discuss how to navigate these trade-offs by reference to the moral theories discussed in class. It is important that there is a GENUINE moral dilemma that arises from these trade-offs. A paper asking whether computer scientists should develop an app to help ex-boyfriends stalk their ex-girlfriends is not a moral dilemma. It is simply immoral. There is no obvious trade-off that might create a “dilemma” in any (morally) important sense. So, make sure to choose an example of a genuinely moral dilemma. Feel free to email the professor with a brief sketch of your idea if you would like confirmation that you are indeed working with a genuine moral dilemma (this can be trickier than you might think!).
We have discussed many social/ethical issues regarding ICTs this semester. You may feel free to further explore any of these. In addition, you may want to reread the end of the Deborah Johnson piece on computer ethics for a head start on issues involving privacy, cybercrime, virtual reality, etc. This wiki is also a good source for ideas: http://wiki.gpii.net/index.php/ICT_Ethics
