- Is gender diversity (or lack there-of) really an ethical problem in the
IT professions? What does Adam think is the cause of the lack of Women in IT
professions and why does she feel that it is important? What do you think
is the cause(s)?
- Morality plays a big part in some of the decisions that we, as Computer
Scientists, make. Is it possible to say that one sex approaches morality/ethical
questions differently than another? How does Adam feel that Ethical diversity
can be beneficial to the field of CS/IT? What determines what action is ethical
and which action is not? Does morality have some connection to environment and
upbringing and there-for is not necessarily comparable across people? What
relation do you think the morality of Men vs. Women has to the gender diversity
in the CS/IT professions? Why does Adam think that the morality of Men vs.
Women is important?
- What are the problems that Adam identifies with modern Gender and Ethics
studies within the fields of Computer Science and Information Technology? What
does she concede in identifying these problems? Do impact do these concessions
(if any) have on her argument?
- Does Adam feel that these problems are solvable? If so, how does she
propose we go about solving them?
