Description
Ethics issues in the field of technology continue to increase. Software licensing, copyright issues, fraud, work-life balance, and a growing digital divide are all examples. Participate in this session to learn more about ethical challenges related to technology.
With the explosion of technology over the past thirty years, one fair question is, "what are the ethical considerations and impacts related to this technology?" Of course, practical technology issues such as data privacy and security undoubtedly carry ethical considerations. However, technology also affects the ethics associated with work-life balance, the digital divide, training needs, copyrights, and fraud, to name a few.
This course will teach you about "technoethics" and its implications for individuals and organizations. To that end, you will explore many current and emerging issues associated with ethics and technology, such as copyrights, cybercrimes, privacy versus security, and geo-tracking technologies. Given the profound implications of ethics and technology, this could be the most impactful session in which you will ever participate.
Topics Include:
- Understanding the differences between ethics, morals, and laws.
