Ethics are cool, but I think misses the point. A huge part of acting ethically is understanding on a fundamental level why that's important. For that, you have to have some decent history education and some framework for thinking about how actors in a large complex system respond to incentives. Just saying 'this is ethical and this isn't ethical' shortchanges students of the really valuable part of understanding ethics in the context of their work and personal lives.

- krageon 8y agoI have had the dubious pleasure of getting ethics classes in multiple schools. I don't think I've ever had one where that wasn't basically how the class went. I'm sure that is doing it wrong, but that doesn't mean that it's not the norm.
