A quick primer for ethics in design

The following list of questions and topics will help designers to position themselves on the ethical issues of design. Although this list is not exhaustive, it ethically shows what kinds of problems might be involved in the design process and proposals. If designers want to act in an ethical way, they must strive hard to understand ethical contradictions, not following predefined security rules. Morality is the process of learning, not the process of obedience.

Ethics is a (rational) study of the moral dilemma in (human) behavior. Morality is defined quickly as a code of conduct or guidelines (implicit or explicit) based on the long-term belief of individuals and values ​​of the surrounding society. From the viewpoint of ethical research, individual behavior can be regarded as moral, immoral or unethical.

If you think about it is easy to understand that almost all actions and thoughts can be considered moral or immoral. However, this does not make moral research (ie study of the moral dilemma) less critical: so that there is not one correct solution in the design - choices with strengths and weaknesses only

To prepare for a lot of ethical considerations, you are in the position as a designer, your own values, the people you design, and what values ​​you embed in your design solution Do you want it?

Although humans use things, this does not make them a user (ie their scope is far more complex than the idea conveyed by "users").

Should you design your design / solution locally (for a specific culture) or design a global design (working in as many cultures as possible?)

Ethical design is not only to develop ethical solutions but also to expose it to ethical reviews

People involved in dialogue and group-based approaches provide better hope for achieving results when considering ethical considerations.

Can you avoid the common pitfall "You tend to educate healthy white male men at a 25-year-old university and adopt new technology?"

Design solutions are not used in vacuum - their impact is beyond the scope of a single user (or group of users)
