Ethics is a branch of [[Philosophy|philosophy]] concerned with morality.
Normative ethics intends to understand how things should be, with the main strands being
* [[Consequentialism]]
* [[Deontology]]
* [[Virtue|Virtue ethics]]
Education and technology sits in a strange place, in being able to effect the moral development of children, as well as containing the values of the creators - putting it in a dangerous position of supporting the scalable replication of values (see [[(NOT TO PUBLISH) Meta/(TODO) The Dangers of Standardised Moral Education|the dangers of standardised moral education]]).
We should consider ethics in multiple levels:
- Micro level - individuals
- Meso level - organisations
- Macro level - social-legal norms
