Enhancing ethical awareness in the design of technological products.
In ethics education, technological progress should be taken into account to enhance ethical awareness on their design. For example, Facebook, Instagram, and similar platforms captivate users, strategically designed to maintain continuous engagement. However, this engenders time loss, diverted attention, and other issues for users. From the company’s viewpoint, such tactics aren’t deemed unethical as they foster increased product usage integral to their business model.
This could also create many negative effects if it’s not designed by considering the social impact from an ethical point of view. In fields like entrepreneurship and innovation, sensitivity to the social impact generated is crucial emphasizing that profit isn’t the sole focus.
