Ethics Online: How the Internet and Other Technology Shifts are
Changing Morality helps students understand the basics of ethics as
they are lived in today's world. The text introduces readers to
traditional approaches to morality, narrows key theories into
specific principles, and then uses those principles to examine many
of the difficult moral questions we face in our contemporary,
technology-driven society. The opening chapter introduces the
basics of ethics, key terminology, and the mindset that will help
students think critically and carefully consider moral issues.
Additional chapters cover fundamental moral theory, justice and
rights, the concept of autonomy, the principles of beneficence and
non-maleficence, and the importance of cultivating particular
virtues in a technologically centered world, where we often
interact with anonymous strangers. Closing chapters look at
specific ethical issues that have been created by the growth of
internet technology and the prevalence of social media. Online
harassment, free speech, online justice, trust and authority
online, group polarization, internet communities, and our changing
notions of propriety and corporate responsibility are covered.
Designed to help students develop informed decisions about the
moral issues that face our society, Ethics Online is ideal for
courses in moral theory, ethics, and philosophy, especially those
with a focus on practical application.
