Even though a lot of people are taught that family comes first, that is not the case with a lot of people. Many factors go into someones decision making and ethics. A person can be family to someone, despite not sharing any blood, just like someone can value their own work and goals as opposed to their family.]]> 2022-09-05 22:36:56 UTC https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2283499019 xkozlowski https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2283500581 If I had to pull the switch on a train, and kill one person on the track as opposed to five, I would. However, I would not push someone onto the tracks to save five people. I think that the reason I wouldn't do this is because in the first scenario, I am not directly interacting with the single person on the tracks, and I am simply pulling a lever. However, in the second scenario, I am the one pushing a person into danger, as opposed to sending the danger their way. This relates to the moral spheres as I would have to choose the option to which I am most responsible for, and close to, to save.]]> 2022-09-05 22:40:20 UTC https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2283500581 xkozlowski https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2283504885 At the end of the experiment, I realized that my answers did not match the majority of other users answers. I mainly saved women, people upholding the law, and children, as opposed to the passengers, people crossing on red, and men. This is because I believe that if someone is crossing on a green, and abiding the law, they are doing as much as they should to protect themselves and not put themselves in harms way, as opposed to the people crossing on red. Furthermore, I believe that I chose women and children over men, and elderly as in my opinion, they hold more potential to benefit society. To continue, I avoided saving the passengers as they are the original cause of the crash scenario, as they are the ones who entrusted a self driving car with their, others, lives.]]> 2022-09-05 22:48:54 UTC https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2283504885 xkozlowski https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2289056998 If given the opportunity, no, I would not change my report. Changing the report could mean that someone could be harmed or killed by whatever is inside the tank, and I would not want to be held responsible for that. If someone else were to redo the report, and avoid looking for tank 2, and get the promotion over me, I would still have peace of mind that I went about things the right away. In addition, this would be very early on in my career, and engineers are in high demand so it would not have a huge impact on me.]]> 2022-09-09 01:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2289056998 xkozlowski https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2289081384 Scientists and engineers are responsible for their inventions in the sense that they should try their best to prevent any dangerous uses in the future, however, as they cannot control how others use their inventions, and arguably, since everything can be used as a weapon, they are not fully responsible for any damages and consequences created.]]> 2022-09-09 02:25:13 UTC https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2289081384 xkozlowski https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2289089683 Yes, these articles adequately conveyed the risks involved in the Challenger launch.

However, in my opinion, there is an exception. If all involved parties are okay with the risk, and the fact that they might die, then it is okay to continue with whatever experiment was going to take place.]]> 2022-09-09 02:42:43 UTC https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2289095882 xkozlowski https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2289099347 1) The first Challenger launch led to the death of 7 people.

This is because by doing so, I not only obliterate all other life on Earth, I ruin the possibility of a rise of new species or more life in the future of the planet. A world ending event like that, that would lead to the death of all life, will most certainly make the Earth uninhabitable and will prevent new life from forming. I would also like to argue that this would not be my last resort, I would always have the option to kill myself, and even if I were to fail, attempting again would be more bearable than the temporary guilt of causing something so catastrophic.]]> 2022-09-22 04:49:04 UTC https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2308067819 xkozlowski https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2308070193 1) A technical problem is something with a clear solution, and a leader ready to administer said solution.

I believe the proper time to be discussing said issues is after the idea or concept of whatever is being created is given a method or procedure on how to design it. For example, an idea must first be thought of, and then a plan on how to make it come to fruition must be created. At this point, before moving forward, you should ask yourself and go over the possibilities of how this will be used, why it is being created, what purpose does it have, and how it will follow or contradict already established and set laws and policies.]]> 2022-09-29 00:51:29 UTC https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2318454278 xkozlowski https://padlet.com/xkozlowski/wjwosmbgj1pwntjn/wish/2318458516 1) Climate science is a branch of science that deals with the origin, routes, and consequences of weather and climate patterns around the world.
