Information Tools for Ethical Living: A Research Framework

چکیده
Information technology helps people in many ways, but it doesn't help them answer important questions like: What do I do with my life? How should I act? How should I treat others? Perhaps IT can help ordinary people create and live a personal moral philosophy. This paper offers a framework for research on this possibility. Ethical choice is viewed as guided imagination, and moral development as improving values, imaginative capacity, and emotional response. Specific suggestions for using IT in moral exploration are provided.
