Unit 01: Sources of Ethics & Morality
Listen to the BBC Documentary "Would you kill the big guy?" Part 1 & Part 2
Please go to http://moralmachine.mit.edu and take part in the experiment.
I have generated some exercises for you that you can complete in Blackboard. In case you can’t log in just yet, here are some exercises you can complete without Blackboard. But ideally you will submit your answers to Blackboard.
1. Find an example online of an supernaturalist argument against the use of a particular kind of technology. (You need not confine yourself to information technology)
Provide the link and a brief summary of the argument.
2. Find an example of a moral dilemma in popular culture (ideally TV/Film). What kind of logic does the character(s) use to deal with the dilemma?
3. Would you push the fat man? Why/Why Not?
4. What results did you get from http://moralmachine.mit.edu ?
