ETHICS

What does "ETHICS" means?

Most of the population knows about this word, however, they do not really understand this concept. Ethics is known as the branch of philosophy that investigates and promote a critical reflection of the values that guide our decisions and behaviours.

Pedro Robles:

“Do we use any strategies that regulate the use of technologies on kids?”

Technologies have grown substantially during the last decade. They have changed our lives, making it much easier. In the same way, they affect little kids. The development of technologies has reached these new costumers. Nowadays, the children have mobile phones or other technologies as computers or game consoles, since they are 10 years old. Their parents are not conscious of the effect that technologies are having on kids. There are cases in which they prefer to stay watching TV or playing with the game console, instead of playing with their friends on the park or everywhere. This would spark on social or physical problems into the children.

Luis Rodriguez:

Ethical problems are problems caused by one or more individuals that can affect a community and also himself.

Nowadays we can find some ethics problems related with the technology such as:

Three parent babies’ debate or discussion related to biological technologies:

The issue of three-parent babies has divided the scientific community and thrown up a host of ethical concerns. Here are the arguments for and against the new procedure, which proposes to mend faulty DNA with genetic material from a ‘second mother’.

·         3-D printing

Scientists are attempting to use 3-D printing to create everything from architectural models to human organs which is a great and positive thing, but we could be looking at a future in which we can print personalized pharmaceuticals or home-printed guns and explosives which can affect directly the society and create more ethical problems or issues. For now, 3-D printing is largely the realm of artists and designers, but we can easily envision a future in which 3-D printers are affordable and patterns abound for products both benign and malicious, and that cut out the manufacturing sector completely. Generally, we think that 3-D printing is a great technological progress or innovation but we need to look the opposite side and it can be really damage for our future society.

Enrique Reina Gutiérrez

Technology is developing in a rapidly way, developing more than what we believe, however, we are not conscious of how this affect our way of behaving and been.

Principally, I am going to focus at the newest emerging technologies of telecommunications, such as WhatsApp and skype.

This technologies try to simulate the real contact and is time to see the comebacks of this technologies.

For a first instance, the first considerable problem is the addiction that more and more people are starting to suffer and experiment. As humans, we are a species that we need to communicate, we need to live in groups, so the need of communication comes at our DNA. However, we are letting more and more this necessity to reach dangerous levels.

This technologies has offer us to communicate globally and because we want more and more, we get addicted to it. The clearest example is the change of how kids evolve from not having mobile phones into phones dependent, because of the fact that they need to socialize.

Also, social networks have developed extreme cases of “communication addiction”, giving to the users more and more need for acceptation. We are changes our basic priorities to stupid ones such as having a lot of followers or being known. But the most characteristic problem of this, is how I said, the need of acceptation that has caused. This have influenced in the children thoughts as: Having more WhatsApp’s contacts better I am or having more like in social medias, better I am, etc. This is making kids underestimate themeselves.

To sum up, due to these new ways of communication, we are changing or capacity of seeing ourselves and other, we are injuring each other and the worse of all, we  trending to meet or hang out sit in front of the computer, leaving physical contact die out.
