Technology


Technology for my group really helped us in many ways. When everyone has a different schedule in their lives it is hard to meet outside of the classroom, so email and blackboard was used to communicate with each other. By using this technology we were also able to keep each other updated on the progress of each person or of any last minute meetings that would be important for the group. We never used virtual meetings but I think using that would limit some benefits of actual face to face group discussions.

Ethics


When looking over the document in class, I was a little shocked that document was actually stating about human beings. The way the person was describing the problem and objects inside the truck, that was the first thing that came to my mind but I thought that was not possible. The way he described things was to the point only the person who he was writing to would actually understand. The other situations that we discussed in class were also similar. By writing this way, I feel as if the person or the company is trying to hide information from the public or maybe this is a way for them to justify the situation in their minds.

Writing like this is not right but it is bad that it could still be going on today. Personally I would not set my standards this low just to hide something or make it seem right. I would not want someone harming the public, my family, or myself.
