Software Engineering Ethics Education

 

Four Opportunities for SE Ethics Education

Alicia M. Grubb
Smith College, Northampton, Massachusetts

 

Abstract:  Many software engineers direct their talents towards software systems which do not fall into traditional definitions of safety critical systems, but are integral to society (e.g., social media, expert advisor systems). While codes of ethics can be a useful starting point for ethical discussions, codes are often limited in scope to professional ethics and may not offer answers to individuals weighing competing ethical priorities. In this paper, we present our vision for improving ethics education in software engineering. To do this, we consider current and past curricular recommendations, as well as recent efforts within the broader computer science community. We layout challenges with vignettes and assessments in teaching, and give recommendations for incorporating updated examples and broadening the scope of ethics education in software engineering.

Standards for American Prosperity

 

Crucial Role of Standards for American Prosperity Highlighted in CSIS Roundtable Session with S. Joe Bhatia

 

Here are some of the ways in which government regulations impede economic growth:

  1. Increased costs: Regulations can impose additional costs on businesses, which can affect their ability to operate efficiently and compete in the marketplace. For example, regulations can require businesses to invest in new technologies or processes to comply with environmental or safety standards, which can increase their expenses.
  2. Reduced innovation: Some people believe that regulations can stifle innovation and entrepreneurship, as businesses may be hesitant to invest in new products or technologies that could be subject to strict regulations. This can limit the potential for new businesses to emerge and grow.
  3. Slowed job growth: Regulations can increase the cost of doing business, which can lead to reduced hiring and slower job growth. This can be particularly challenging for small businesses that may not have the resources to comply with regulatory requirements.
  4. Reduced competition: Regulations can sometimes create barriers to entry for new businesses, which can reduce competition and limit economic growth. This can be particularly true in industries that are heavily regulated, such as healthcare and finance.
  5. Reduced trade: Regulations can make it more difficult for businesses to operate in international markets, as they may face additional regulatory requirements and trade barriers. This can limit economic growth and reduce opportunities for businesses to expand their operations.

It is important to note that regulations can also have benefits, such as protecting consumers and the environment, promoting fair competition, and fostering innovation. It’s essential to strike a balance between regulatory requirements and economic growth to ensure that businesses can thrive while also protecting public health and safety. 

The U.S. Standards System effectively provides a “shadow government” that runs parallel to the elected government so that a balance of informed voices are present in formulating what Montesquieu called the “necessary laws”.   See our ABOUT.

“How to Escape the Woke Matrix”

“Wokeism” is a term that has been used to describe a cultural and political movement characterized by a heightened awareness of social and political issues related to race, gender, and various forms of discrimination and inequality. The term is often used in a pejorative or critical manner by those who view it as excessive or overly focused on identity politics.

The concept of being “woke” originally comes from African American Vernacular English and referred to being socially and politically aware, especially in the context of racial injustice and inequality. It has since evolved into a broader movement that advocates for social justice and equality across various marginalized groups, including racial, gender, sexual, and socioeconomic minorities.

Supporters of wokeism argue that it is important to address systemic discrimination and promote inclusivity and equity in society. Critics, on the other hand, may use the term “wokeism” to criticize what they see as an excessive or dogmatic approach to social justice issues, often accusing it of being overly politically correct or censorious of dissenting opinions.  —  (ChatGPT)
