Product Description
More a handbook for living a successful life, rather than a philosophy book, this volume helps readers develop the ability to easily discern the relationship between ethics and technology and to operate ethically and effectively in a technological world. Systematic and pragmatic in approach--and intuitively understandable--it gives practical guidelines and provides a basis for personal change. A variety of exercises allows students to immediately apply principles to real-world events. Definition: The Nature of Ethics. The Relationship between Ethics and Technology. Why Be Ethical? Technology and the Self State. Paradigms and Piffle. Technology, Paradigms, and Limitations. Modern Behavioral Theorists. The Dynamic Systems Model. The Systematic Nature of Technology. Paradox, Awareness, and Becoming Adept. Barriers to Ethical Behavior. Roots of Technological Ethics. The Nature of Ethical Humanity. Religion as a Reflection of Ethical Thought. Where Are We Now? For anyone interested in the relationship between ethics and technology.
