The Self-Driving Car – An (ir)responsible innovation? [Teacher version]

When we think of new technologies, we think of innovation. This CBE considers the prominent example of the self-driving car and challenges the students to consider ethical obstacles for its development-process and future consequences. Trough text, video and discussion the students will practice identifying relevant ethical concerns and understanding the heterogeneous character of technological innovation: not all innovation is necessarily responsible innovation.

Virtue Ethics

Virtue ethics focuses on how to be a good person. Virtues are good or desirable human characteristics, such as courage and honesty. Virtue ethics then concentrates upon which characteristics one should have or develop to be a moral person. Whereas other ethical theories concentrate on the question how to act or how to make the right decision, virtue ethics is thus about having the right character.

Virtues

A virtue is an excellent character trait or quality, such as courage, honesty and creativity. Virtues are expressed in action, and practice is essential: just as you need to practice drawing in order to become a designer, you need to practice in acting virtuously in order to cultivate virtues. To truly ‘possess’ a virtue means it is deeply ingrained in your personality – you cannot have half a virtue. A courageous person is not just occasionally courageous. A person who sometimes keeps his promise does not have the virtue of trustworthiness.

The Rest Is History | 368. The History Behind Hogwarts: Ancient Schools and Revolting Students (Part 2)

More gruesome even than the Battle of Hogwarts, 18th century British Public schools were hotbeds for violence and uproar, despite their deeply Christian origins. From raucous rebellions featuring students fighting militias and building barricades, hostage-taking and pistol-firing, to animal assassinations, abysmal teaching and gruesome hazing rituals, their organised brutality was mis-sold as “character-building”. Join Tom and Dominic in the second part of our series, as they explore the schools which inspired Hogwarts, their pupils, stories and legacies. Producer: Theo Young-Smith Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Research: William Finlator

Medieval Kingdom of Sicily Image Database

This database and website is a virtual museum of images produced between the late 15th through mid-20th century that document the architectural monuments of South Italy (the medieval Kingdom of Sicily) and their decoration (pulpits, mosaics, pavements) prior to destruction and restoration. The images, often produced during the Grand Tour or by artists and architects of a study journey to South Italy, are vital sources of information about the siting and character of the highly significant architecture sponsored by the Norman, Hohenstaufen, and Angevin rulers prior to the devastation of earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, and particularly the Allied bombardment of World War II.
