No Wednesday 4th November - Campus session

We will not be having a campus session this term, due to Covid-19 arrangements. 

Ethical considerations = thinking about the impact of something...

In the PP programmes we separate Ethics into two elements ethical procedures (the things you have to do to comply with different social / personal/ organisational 'rules') and ethical considerations (the thinking and discussions that can lead to those 'rules'). Another way of describing the ethical conversations element is 'the discourses' around a subject. The ethical considerations are the thoughts and 'arguments' about something. Such as the inner discussion you might have as you decide whether or not to do something. I think the film 'The Push' on Netflix is a really good way to start to think about the world of ethics. In it, people seem to lack the habit of using ethical considerations to in order to consider what their actions mean. How we make meaning or link meaning to actions is a part of ethical considerations. 

People seemed to enjoy watching a Netflix show (The Social Dilemma) and then commenting on the topics it raised. What are your thoughts on what ethical considerations are after watching the show. Not comments on your judgement of the decisions made  (!!!) but your thoughts on the act of consideration and how useful it is...

Looking forward to hearing what you feel
