4) How did the workshops affect your perspective of the topic that was discussed?
The most interesting part of the workshop will be the challenge problem where we have to make decision. We have to pick 6 out of 10 people who were on a wrecked ship to a life boat, and the ones left behind will surely die. I have to say, it’s quite difficult. I picked the Captain, Lifeguard and so on, but I just don’t see how these decisions led to ethics. It’s not like any of the decisions will be “ethical” because human life is lost anyway you pick.
5) How did the workshop take you out of your comfort zone?
Does not apply, I feel pretty comfortable during this workshop.
6) Explain what the workshop was about and tell us why you specifically chose that workshop.
This workshop is quite interesting. What is considered to be ethical? That is the main question raised during the session.
