What is the emerging ethical
dilemma all about?
■ Ransomware encrypts a victim’s data until the
attacker is paid a predetermined ransom.
What factors or events led to
this dilemma?
■ The victim of ransomware like people or company
are having a hard time in making decisions in this
problem because they have a dilemma where they
have to pay a lot of money to get the file taken by
the attacker like kidnap for ransom, or they will just
make a new one to replace what they lose.
What are the societal
implications of this dilemma?
■ Invasion of privacy
■ Distrust and miscommunication
What are the societal
implications of this dilemma?
■ For social implications of ransomware, people became
victims of scams wherein their data and money are been
accessed by hackers and scammers. Because of that,
opening sites that requires certain amount of money
before you can access it, people will treat it already as a
scam for they've been familiar to those happenings.
Why is it important to question the moral
and ethical issues surrounding innovations
in science and technology?
■ We cannot talk of controlling technology and innovation,
the better way is to adapt and change. The role of ethics in
technology is of managing rather controlling the same.
Continuous monitoring is required to keep track of latest
innovations and technological changes and for ensuring
fair practices.
In the face of this dilemma, why is it
important to study STS?
■ We shall have a better understanding of the interaction between science
and technology in terms of innovation by studying STS. Technology will
control humankind in the future, and science will have a significant impact
on our future and the next generation.
