Homework
Purpose
The purpose of this homework is to allow you to make an ethical decision and to evaluate the risk impact of that ethical decision with regard to a specific information technology.
Instructions
For this homework, you will use several models and sets of questions defined in your textbook reading to analyze an ethical information technology scenario.
Perform your analysis using each of the methods below:
Part I: Answer the following questions about your chosen scenario:
A. Does it preserve human dignity? Does it enhance human dignity?
B. Does it preserve the autonomy of the human?
C. Is the data collection and processing necessary and proportional?
D. Does it uphold the common good?
Part II: For your particular technology, complete the following from the perspective of the designer or developer.
We want to
So that we can
Which will deliver the following benefits
To the following stakeholders
Part III: Consider the environment of your scenario from four perspectives:
A. Social (in the context of society and the organization culture)
B. Technical (Consider the technical architecture and design.)
C. Legal (Consider the legal issues that could affect the scenario.)
D. Moral (Consider the ethical and moral factors of the scenario.)
In completing the moral perspective, rely on the utility versus invasiveness matrix and discuss it in these terms:
High utility - low invasiveness (ethical risk far outweighed by the benefit to individual or society)
High utility - high invasiveness (requires additional controls to reduce invasiveness)
Low utility - high invasiveness (needs invasiveness reduced and/or utility increased)
Low utility - low invasiveness (no value is being added to society or individuals)
After completing this systematic ethical assessment and risk impact, provide a synthesis of what you have learned and write a recommendation as to whether use of this technology should continue. Justify your recommendation through logical argument and supporting sources. You should also provide related examples that help support your recommendation.
