Our world is more interconnected than ever before. Global ethics considers the ethical implications of our actions on an international scale. It's about recognising that our choices have consequences far beyond our immediate surroundings, and that we all have a responsibility to consider our impact on people and the planet.
In this short course, we focus specifically on the ethics of digital technologies and their impact on politics and society. Using key concepts and theories, you’ll be challenged to think critically and creatively about some of the biggest ethical issues of our time – from artificial intelligence to data privacy, digital discrimination to automated warfare.
By the end of the course, you’ll have gained a greater knowledge of the ethical challenges and opportunities that digital technologies present. You’ll be more confident applying your ethical reasoning skills to real-world scenarios and cases and have a deeper understanding of how global ethics can help to create a more equitable and sustainable future for all.
This could be the beginning of a transformative journey: an online International Relations MA could be your next step towards even deeper exploration, specialist skills and knowledge, and the opportunity to make a meaningful real-world impact.
