Marturano's thesis is... - correct answers "I will argue against [Deborah Johnson's] position" (p. 71) that
Computer Ethics will 'disappear' and become a part of 'ordinary ethics'.
Deborah Johnson's view is that - correct answers 'Computer Ethics' is likely to disappear as a subject of
investigation because computers will (have) simply become a part of our everyday lives
the first objection to Johnson's view by Marturano is - correct answers Since computers are likely to always be
with us, why won't 'Computer Ethics'?
explain the first objection - correct answers since digital technologies are becoming more embedded into our
everyday
,lives, then why won't computer ethics also stay in our lives.
Martorano's response to this objection is... - correct answers even though sciences will always rely on
technology, the used will most likely always be specialized to suit each purpose.
So there might not be a distinct area of investigation called'Computer Ethics', but there will be unique ethical
concerns that arise in respect of specific digital technologies
the second objection to Johnson's view by Marturano is - correct answers No 'Computer Ethics' imply no
'Applied Ethics'
According to Marturano, a significant problem for johnson is that... - correct answers she fails to fully explain
what "computer ethics will become 'ordinary ethics' means.
What are the three 'divisions of ethical discourse'? - correct answers Metaethics, Normative Ethics, Applied
Ethics
define metaethics - correct answers ethics concerned with the meaning of ethical statement, and whether
they capture some feature from the universe.
, for example what does 'you should not kill innocents' mean ?
define Normative Ethics - correct answers attempts to elaborate the substance of moral rules by identifying
what's 'good', 'right' or 'just'. and/or when and how should people be held responsible for their actions.
Applied Ethics - correct answers uses ethical theories (e.g. utilitarianism, ethics of virtue... etc) to identify and
resolve ethical issues
How does marturano used these divisions to support his claim? - correct answers it is clear from these
definitions that 'computer ethics' is part of applied ethics.
how does Johnson's appeal to 'ordinary ethics' fit within this scheme? - correct answers she's talking about
either of one things:
1) she's either talking about the actual cultural moral rules or
2) she's talking about the ethical theories
