(Details)

Date Due: Monday, November 13, at 10:00 pm (via Turnitin).

Length: 600 – 700 words, double-spaced.

Topic: First, review Chapter 5 of Ethics and Technology. Then, through a search on www.nytimes.com or a similar website, select an article describing a practice that raises ethical concerns relating to protecting privacy. In your paper, briefly describe the practice in question and exactly what tradeoff is involved—between protecting privacy and one or more other values or goals. Then explain where you think the tradeoff should be made—i.e., what should be done to strike a reasonable balance among privacy and the other values—and set out the ethical argument(s) that lead you to that conclusion.
