Ethics and Technology in Movies
To be submitted on Sunday 7th May, 2017.
Ethics and technology are two topics widely covered and discussed in movies. In this assignment you are required to watch one of the science-fiction movies listed in Table 1 and to prepare a 5 - 6 pages report about the technological ethical issues discussed in the movie you have seen.
Your report should include the following:
1. A movie summary (Half a Page – 1 Page; 1 Point)
2. At least three ethical issues related to technology in the movie: identified and discussed (Half a page for each issue; 1.5 Points each = 1.5 * 3 = 4.5 points)
3. Proposal of alternative ethical scenarios for each of the ethical issues identified in point 2 (Half a page for each issue; 1.5 Points each = 1.5 * 3 = 4.5 points)
You may select a science-fiction/technology related movie other than the ones listed in Table 1, but make sure they have ethical dilemmas.
