PHIL 362 - Ethics and Technology Issues


Credit Hours: 3

This course examines the way in which rapid advances in technology have changed our ethical relationship with each other.  Beginning with an overview of the central questions and theories of morality, this course challenges students to explore how these theories might be applied to social media, rapid communication, and advances in automation.  Topics include:  social media influencers as role models; online harassment and bullying; determining real from fake information; and the responsibilities companies have to protect the community as they develop new technologies.
