Of the workable ethical theories, including Kantianism, utilitarianism, social contract theory, and virtue ethics, which one speaks to you most closely? Explain why. With regard to the progress of technology, people often resort to sayings like "you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube" or "the horse is already out of the barn," meaning we can't go back to the way things used to be, and we can't stop progress. Do you agree with that premise? Do we just have to get used to "the new normal"? Even if we could rewind the clock, would you really want to? Explain! Do you feel we as individuals have a role and responsibility in how technology influences people and places? What can you do, at the individual level, at work, home, and school, to use technology in a positive fashion, and have a positive impact on society, if only in a small way? Are there ways you can collaborate with others in your communities where you live, work and engage to have a greater positive impact?
