Nobody pranks anyone, pukes anywhere or blows something up - Which therefore isnt basic youtube-entertainment. - Dont have to mention how damn sad this statement is, as it contains a lot of truth.
This does not put ethics in perspective at all, the practice of ethics is continuously asking questions about the status quo. In this way, ethics should be seen as the discipline that changed how people thought about slavery and other controversial stuff in the past.
@@jornbesteman It does. The reason slavery ended was to a great extent because it was economically viable, thanks to new technology. Why didn't the practice ethics stop slavery much, much earlier? Why did the ethics of slavery change when it did? Mainly - it was because there was an economic alternative: industrialization. That's depressing, but that's what happened.
Brilliant talk. I have been powering through a herd of his talks over the last decade or so and he is a fantastic speaker who brings multiple levels of reality into each talk.
As a teacher of Business Ethics, I require students to view this and other presentations by Juan Enriquez. He's a terrific speaker and students find him "authentic". Thanks to TED and Juan for wonderful resources.
The most powerful line of this talk that breaks down most polarized arguments is 11:44 "how can you establish ethics for the next generation as technology changes what you can do?"
He's a living genius, ethics and morality is a very difficult and sensitive subject to touch on, and Juan Enriquez just made it sking past the thin sheet of culturally polarized ice. Anymore and people can't swallow
Oh my god. How to make this video more viral. I have never seen ethics explained more clearly than this. Absolutely the realistic touch we need in this virtual world.
i think this largely ignores the idea that people know these things are wrong but do it anyways because there's some other benefit (mainly profit) for them
The 'Holy Book' never promotes slavery, it points out that obeying the laws set forth by those in power (typically non believers) should be obeyed. As long as people ignore God and take what is not rightfully theirs, humanity will endured slavery in one form or another.
Can someone explain to me what he means by "ethical mores"? Cant find it on google and english is my second language so I dont know how to change the word "mores" grammatically.
Mores are the customs, norms, and behaviors that are acceptable to a society or social group. If your personal morals are in disagreement with local mores, you should be prepared to be annoyed every time you read the local Letters to the Editor.
It was an example of a women who wrote from a "mother's perspective" on the ethics of her day. Her reasoning would be the norm of most white women at the time (who would influence their children). Hope that helps:)
Very Interesting thoughts on this topic. Digital ethics is definitely a topic people need to talk about more often also the transformation that happens due to it is also important for people to be informed about. See another thought-provoking video about digital ethics and transformation: @
;z) The best way to..'do that') is to travel.. because when you live all over.. or just travel if you never done much.. you build because 'history' in certain degrees' is alive everywhere. depending on where you start from.. everywhere seems like it's living in a different history.. ( expecially from EU/California ;p
Why is it the he does not include science or scientist teaches what is right and wrong? He must include himself as well if he tries to teach us on the matter.
Juan, I would love to talk to you about a psychological fraemwork for therapy that I am developing that uses the exact philosophical framework that you used to explain this timeline of ethical behavior. It's called Teleology. It utilizes a timeline with an ultimum to establish the result of our psychological processes to examine objectively how we can come to understand it's origins and it's end. Would you be interested in discussing this with me? I would be honored to explore this with you.
but you should be kind to others and treat others the way you want to be treated, so unless slaves were treated like family "all your family" then you should have known it was wrong, because you were treating people bad, same with "gays" you need to treat everyone like family and if you knew you were treating any people differently then you should have known it was wrong.
There is no clash at all between ethics and technology, on the contrary, in many universities, these disciplines work together, they both need each other. Ethics should be seen as a discipline that questions everything, so also the status quo and also potential progress in technology. The way in which Juan Enriquez describes ethics is not at all what ethics is about.
I think he’s talking from a perspective of time and space. Basically how ethics can be defined in different generations. Please explain how he explains it wrong.
