ten page paper on Moral and ethical implications of hybrid
cars
Moral and Ethical Considerations: Consider quality
of life, human rights, codes of ethics, privacy, accountability,
corporate responsibility government responsibility, individual
responsibility (e.g., ways of dying and rights of dying). What
ethical values are expressed implicitly or explicitly by this
technology? Pride (being the first-to-get-to-the moon kind of
thing)? Greed? Power? Fraud? Theft? Deception? Lies? Whose rights
are violated? Whose rights are honored? Consumer rights? The rights
of the general public? Freedom? Authority? Control? What are the
major moral concerns associated with the creation and adoption of
this technology? Remember the e-Waste example in the reading I gave
youthe disposal of dangerous toxins in poorer countries, the
not-in-my-backyard phenomenon. What do religious groups have to say
(this group thing may fit better in the sociology section)? For
example, contraceptives generally prevent pregnancy but for some
this technology violates what they call natural law and their
religious belief in Gods command to be fruitful and multiply.
Look at corporate code of ethics, professional codes of ethics
(IEEE, etc.) available through websites such as Illinois Institute
of Technologys and Case Western Reserve Universitys (compilation)
or ethicsonline.org. Look at the companies developing the
technology and check out their codes of ethics to determine
whether the technology they are developing is in keeping with their
mission and values. Who is responsible if something goes wrong or
if critical information is withheld from the public? Example:
asbestos and cigarettes
. All students should review the paper to ensure that the
transitions are smooth, that the sections fit together, and that
the bibliographies are compiled correctly. The paper should conclude with recommendations for further
research or possible solutions that could be evaluated. A complete
list of references, in APA format, should follow along with any
Appendices. · Title Page (not included
in page count) · Table of Contents
indicating student sections (not included in page count) · Abstract - 200-word
summary of the entire paper; it is not a restatement of the
introduction (not included in page count) · Report o Introduction that provides background information,
establishes the context and significance of the issues and the
technology (your thesis statement) and generally orients your
reader to the entire project. It should outline the scope of the
investigation, and comment on any challenges the team faced with
respect to research sources. o Report sections, organized using at least level-1
and level-2 headings.
o Proper documentation throughout the report
using APA style.
(Each member is responsible for documenting properly, and
undocumented or poorly cited material will count as plagiarisma
failing grade for the paper.)
o Appropriate visuals/graphic aids in the document
that are discussed in the body of the report and support the thesis
(e.g., a table, graph, chart, illustration, photograph, diagram,
map, etc.); mathematical or statistical data is appropriately used
to support conclusions.
All visuals/graphic aids also need to be properly
documented. o Conclusion that effectively synthesizes the
sections of the report. It should summarize key issues. Included in
this section should be Recommendations for Further Research,
following up on any questions that were uncovered during your
research or suggestions for groups/events to follow. · Bibliography and appendix
(not included in the page count but significant in showing you
found relevant stuff that would not fit into the body of the
textbrochures, charts, handouts, samples of materials or products,
or team process reports, etc.). Wise groups begin the bibliography
early and start gathering related materials for the Appendix.
