Book Synopsis The Transformation of the Media by : Nicholas Stevenson
Download or read book The Transformation of the Media written by Nicholas Stevenson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-06-06 with total page 335 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The changing pattern of contemporary media is one of the most striking and important transformations of our age. This major new work seeks to understand the implications of a series of mediated processes in relation to public cultures and modern identities. In The Transformation of the Media the author leads the reader through a number of complex theoretical issues, connecting the nature of modern communication to the affects this has on our common moral and ethical lives. Most significantly, he argues that a number of perspectives as diverse as Marxism, post-modernism, liberalism, communitarianism and technological determinism can all be found wanting in this regard. The Transformation of the Media attempts to situate the media, and more theoretical concerns, within a broad sociological framework. The volume adds to our shared understanding of the media's relation to contemporary cultural transformations including globalisation, the development of informational capitalism, the changing nature of the public sphere and the impact of new social movements. More specifically, through a discussion of the 'new media order' and the Rwandan genocide a critical prism is held up to existing debates concerning the globalisation of the media. Key features: an extremely topical and accessible analysis of the media's implications for contemporary cultural transformations combines a theoretical and empirical approach presents complex theoretical ideas in an accessible way This book will be essential reading for students studying globalisation, the global media, new media technology, identity and cultural development in cultural studies, media studies, and sociology and politics courses.
Book Synopsis Ethics, Computing, and Medicine by : Kenneth W. Goodman
Download or read book Ethics, Computing, and Medicine written by Kenneth W. Goodman and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 1998 with total page 196 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New technology always raises compelling ethical questions. As those in medicine increasingly depend on computers and other intelligent machines, the intersection of ethics, computing and the health professions grows much more complex and significant.

It maps and explores a variety of important issues and controversies, including ethics and evaluation in computational medicine, patient and provider confidentiality, responsibility for use of computers in medicine, appropriate use of decision support systems, outcomes of research and computational prognosis (including mortality predictions), and computer-based biomedical research - especially meta-analysis. This book is accessible to participants in the fields of bioethics and medical informatics. It is appropriate for physicians, nurses, administrators, ethicists, health attorneys, advanced undergraduates and graduate students.
Book Synopsis Ethical Principles and Economic Transformation - A Buddhist Approach by : Laszlo Zsolnai
Download or read book Ethical Principles and Economic Transformation - A Buddhist Approach written by Laszlo Zsolnai and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2011-05-17 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Buddhism points out that emphasizing individuality and promoting the greatest fulfillment of the desires of the individual conjointly lead to destruction. The book promotes the basic value-choices of Buddhism, namely happiness, peace and permanence. Happiness research convincingly shows that not material wealth but the richness of personal relationships determines happiness. Not things, but people make people happy. Western economics tries to provide people with happiness by supplying enormous quantities of things and today’s dominating business models are based on and cultivates narrow self-centeredness.But what people need are caring relationships and generosity. Buddhist economics makes these values accessible by direct provision. Peace can be achieved in nonviolent ways. Wanting less can substantially contribute to this endeavor and make it happen more easily. Permanence, or ecological sustainability, requires a drastic cutback in the present level of consumption and production globally. This reduction should not be an inconvenient exercise of self-sacrifice. In the noble ethos of reducing suffering it can be a positive development path for humanity.
Book Synopsis Adaptive Ethics for Digital Transformation by : Mark Schwartz
Download or read book Adaptive Ethics for Digital Transformation written by Mark Schwartz and published by IT Revolution. This book was released on 2023-07-25 with total page 378 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Digital transformation doesn't just raise ethical issues, it—in itself—is an ethical shift. Business leaders today are struggling to manage conflicting imperatives, those of the emerging digital world and those of the bureaucratic world of the past. The act of digital transformation requires a deep change in the moral outlook and ethical assumptions of a business. But how do we get there? Enterprise strategist and author Mark Schwartz shows how we need to learn to think differently about relationships with customers and employees. That the ethics of digital transformation is a matter of cultivating and applying virtues rather than applying rules. Ethics is not just a matter of refraining from doing bad things. It's a matter of building the world we want, and it's the job of company executives. Featuring a chapter on bullshit, a handy chart of excuses for bad behavior, and Schwartz's typically paradoxical blend of deep insight and pasta jokes, this book guides business leaders as they struggle to adapt their bureaucratic framework of ethics to the emerging landscape of the digital world. By the end of the book, business leaders will rethink what it takes to be an ethical organization.
Book Synopsis Transformation Ethics by : Thomas R. McFaul
Download or read book Transformation Ethics written by Thomas R. McFaul and published by . This book was released on 2003 with total page 250 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transformation Ethics develops a new framework for Christian moral reasoning called Transformation Ethics and applies it to three of the 21st century's most pressing ethical dilemmas. Author Thomas McFaul builds on the premise that the bridge leading from faith to action is the moral imagination. The Transformation framework synthesizes the strengths of four of Christianity's major traditions of moral reasoning: Faith-Love, Moral Law, Character, and Justice-Liberation. The two hyphenated pairs of Faith and Love and of Justice and Liberation reflect the close coupling of these terms throughout the history of Christian Ethics. Transformation Ethics traces the historic development of these four traditions from the Old Testament to the Modern eras and then integrates their strengths to create the Transformation framework. Using the Transformation framework, McFaul offers solution to the moral challenges that surround capital punishment, genetic modification, and homosexuality.
Book Synopsis Ethical Transformations for a Sustainable Future by : Olivier Urbain
Download or read book Ethical Transformations for a Sustainable Future written by Olivier Urbain and published by Transaction Publishers. This book was released on 2011-12-31 with total page 167 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It has become increasingly apparent that humanity’s complex social, political, and economic systems are incompatible with the finite capacity of the Earth to replenish resources and absorb wastes. If the planet is to continue to be habitable for the myriad web of other creatures that make life possible, humans must transform their systems so that they are aligned with natural systems. One thing is sure—it will not be Nature’s laws, the delicate interdependence that characterizes Earth’s ecosystems, that change. The change must begin within each person, and from there permeate throughout our social, political, and economic structures. The contributors to this volume believe that such transformations are urgently needed and possible, and they offer specific examples. They suggest solutions that call for new perspectives in our ethics, beliefs, traditions, economy, business, gender relations, education, and technology. They show that human beings have the power to implement changes in all natural and social environments. The chapters in this book have been organized around three keywords: Reconnecting, Reframing, and Rethinking. The contributors argue that we need to reconnect with the Earth and nature, as well as with each other and parts of ourselves that we have ignored for too long. We need to reframe the way in which people prioritize choices in the economy, the way we do business and pursue development; and we need to rethink the mission of education and the roles of technology.
