    2. Utilitarianism is an ethics theory that determines right from wrong by focusing on outcome. It is a form of consequentalism.
    Deontology is an enthics that uses rules to distinguish right from wrong.

    3. Why we need to take ethical considerations into account in social science research? many of the norms of research promote a variety of other important moral and social values, such as social responsibility, human rights, and animal welfare, compliance with the law, and public health and safety. Ethical lapses in research can significantly harm human and animal subjects, students, and the public. For example, a researcher who fabricates data in a clinical trial may harm or even kill patients, and a researcher who fails to abide by regulations and guidelines relating to radiation or biological safety may jeopardize his health and safety or the health and safety of staff and students. 

    Explain and provide an example for each. Utilitarianism: choosing ice cream for yourself

    Deontology:  an act that is not good morally can lead to something good

It is a kind of rules. Ethics is the branch of the social science, which deal with concepts such as right and wrong, good and bad, fair and unfair, just and unjust, legal and illegal, moral and immoral, proper and improper in respect of human actions. It is a science of morality which guides the actions of individuals or groups.

    2.Utilitarianism & Deontology
    Utilitarianism:     it is a moral framework, utilitarianism emphasis on the pursuit of "maximum happiness"
    example: the rule of market economy are utilitarian rules, which set for the maximum sum of social welfare
    Deontology: Deontology is one of the normative theories that morally require, prohibit or allow choice. In other words, deontology belongs to the field of Deontology that guides and evaluates the choices we should make.
    example: If you’re a Hindu you might believe that it’s wrong to eat beef; this rule would be part of our deontology because we think it is wrong to eat beef

    3.Social science research takes human social phenomena as its research object, and its research process is directly related to human beings. Scientific research results are for the benefit of human beings. Ethics and morality are actually a unified whole, which are directly for human beings. Only in this way can social science research get as objective research results as possible and achieve the purpose of promoting human society.]]>     2021-11-23 13:10:57 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/d6v24wjblicehxcz/wish/1908349662     group4 xpeng22 https://padlet.com/usictech/d6v24wjblicehxcz/wish/1908350141 1. This is the most common way of defining "ethics": norms for conduct that distinguish between acceptable and unacceptable behavior.
    2. Uses rules to distinguish right from wrong, Follows the rules, doesn't break them. 
    Kant believed that ethical actions follow universal moral laws such as don't lie,don't steal,don't cheat.
    In deciding what is right and what is wrong, the possible consequences of our actions will be ignored.
    3. Why： We can also use ethical concepts and principles to criticize, evaluate, propose, or interpret laws. Indeed, in the last century, many social reformers have urged citizens to disobey laws they regarded as immoral or unjust laws.]]>     2021-11-23 13:11:10 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/d6v24wjblicehxcz/wish/1908350141     group 2 syang901 https://padlet.com/usictech/d6v24wjblicehxcz/wish/1908355539 1. Ethics in social science research is to respect the people involved in the research and the data obtained by the research(copy right). Respect privacy and obtain data using ethical methods. norms promote the aims of research(knowledge, truth..), many of the ethical norms help to ensure that researchers can be held accountable to the public, and also help to build public support for research.

    2. utilitarianism and deontology
    utilitarianism: A train is driving on the track. The left track has a pregnant woman and five children playing, and the right track is an elderly beggar. The train was about to come. Pregnant women, children, and beggars could not escape. To avoid danger, the staff adjusted the direction of the track and let the train hit the beggar. Sacrificed the life of a beggar and saved the lives of a pregnant woman and five children.

    deontology: Do Not Steal
                          Do Not Lie.
                          Borrow money from a friend, already knowing that there is no money to pay back, but still ask the friend to borrow the money
    To have another baby, in order to do a bone marrow transplant for another child.

    3. human rights, Impact on society
    If people are willing to join a social science research, their answers will be more useful. Fairness, higher quality of information]]>     2021-11-23 13:13:48 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/d6v24wjblicehxcz/wish/1908355539     usictech https://padlet.com/usictech/d6v24wjblicehxcz/wish/1908355756 The term research ethics refers to a wide variety of values, norms, and institutional arrangements that help constitute and regulate scientific activities. Research ethics is a codification of scientific morality in practice. Guidelines for research ethics specify the basic norms and values of the research community. They are based on general ethics of science, just as general ethics is based on the morality of society at large.]]> 2021-11-23 13:13:54 UTC https://padlet.com/usictech/d6v24wjblicehxcz/wish/1908355756 Group 1 jwang338 https://padlet.com/usictech/d6v24wjblicehxcz/wish/1908358207 1. Research ethics is a codification of scientific morality in practice. Guidelines for research ethics specify the basic norms and values of the research community. They are based on general ethics of science, just as general ethics is based on the morality of society at large.
    2. Utilitarianism 
    Example: There are four people in the hospital whose lives depend on receiving organ transplants. If there was a healthy person, they might harvest his organs. The life of one can be exchanged for the life of many.
    Deontology
    Example: Nuclear missiles can trigger war. Breaking into the system without permission in the form of deception. It's against your professional ethics. The theory advises against breaking these rules. Those who let the missile go off will pay.

    3. Ethical consideration has a fundamental importance in conducting any research. It plays an important role, especially in social science. This study is designed to examine the perceptions and practices of research students towards ethical concerns in conducting social sciences research.
