1. Discuss the importance of the concept of "acceptable risk" (which is defined in different ways in the textbook) for engineering ethics. 2. Richard DeGeorge and Michael Davis offer competing accounts of "whistleblowing." How do these accounts differ? Which is better, in your view? Why? 3. The textbook says that, judged by James Nickel’s criteria, "some or all of the rights in the United Nations’ list may not qualify as genuine international rights." Discuss one example. Why does it matter? 4. How is the concept of "exploitation" important for engineering ethics in the global context? 5. The textbook discusses both cognitive and emotional benefits of "experiencing the natural world as transcending human interests." Explain these. Are they still "anthropocentric," or not? 6. How might the claims of future generations (of human beings) affect the ethics of energy development? Who counts more, future people or present people? Why?
