I turned in my first Ethics paper on computers in schools. It was an opinion paper on the good and bad of technology used in schools. I interviewed my niece, a senior in an area high school, and she had a lot of good information to tell me about the technology they use. I was really nervous about writing since I have not been in school in many years. I made a 100 on this paper and I am just giddy with excitement. My instructor wrote on the comments, "well done."
I am very excited about everything I am learning, not only from the textbook but, things I am learning about myself. I have started my second paper and it is about which ethical theories I follow in my life and what theory I think everyone else follows. There are eight basic theories on ethics, the study of ethics date back to Socrates. A few of these are basic and kind of go along with each other, they have only subtle differences. Ethical Egoism, this one bothered me, this is the one that I think a good portion of the population follows. I am sure they do not knowingly follow this like a doctrine or anything but it is a good description. In ethical egoism you look out for your own best interest. You only do something for someone else if it first benefits you.
I cannot wait to see how I do on this paper. It is an opinion paper and goodness knows I have a lot of those. Check back with me later to see about my term paper on pornography and the cyber crime issues surrounding that industry.
