Today we have the technology to gather information with the click of

button
. We can communicate in cyberspace at any time, anywhere. Our private lives become public matters, and how we understand one another can become influenced by the social media that surrounds us. The realities of

technology then
 shape what ethical choices are made by ourselves and the society that we live in. For Singer, the fact that surveillance is a way of life poses profound questions about how we respond to the technology that we use. His essay is a cautionary tale, and complicated by the ideas raised in the essays by Ma and De Ghett.

Please consider this question.

How might

empathy
 better educate people about the ethical responsibilities that technology needs to have?

Here are some suggestions.

  • What role does surveillance play in ethics? How is it possible that the practice might actually make society more ethical—and why?
  • How can education impact on our understanding of what it

    mean
     to maintain an ethical balance in society? What is the intersection that exists between education and ethics—and why is empathy a crucial factor in that process?
  • How does the idea of privacy complicate what it means to have an ethical society—and what role might

    empathy play
     in our understanding of the tension between what is private and public?
