What is a Preamble?
A preamble is an introductory statement to a speech, code of ethics, legal document, etc. You need to write a preamble that will provide personal information that will allow the reader to understand your principles. For example, if your principles address your use of computing technology at your place of employment, you should include statements regarding where you work and explaining your responsibilities at your place of work. For examples, see the IEEE and ACM code of ethics.
Your Code of Ethics
Write your own personal code of ethics annotated with justifications that provide a fullfledged rationale for your choice of principles. You need 7 distinct principals thataddress your relationship with/use of computing technology. In the entire final, you must use each of the frameworks we covered in class once and your own framework:
- Kant’s 1st and 2nd formulations of the categorical imperative (considered one framework)
- act utilitarian and Rawls’s Theory of Justice (considered one framework)
- rule utilitarian
- social contract theory
- moral rights
- virtue Ethics
- your own framework
You need not address the problems applying the frameworks. At this point in time, you should be able to select the most appropriate framework for the issue at hand.
