I am reposting this message because it seems like it didn't go thru... ----- Original Message ----- From: Raffi Aftandelian To: OSLIST Sent: Monday, August 30, 2004 9:39 PM Subject: re: ethics and OST
I did a cursory search of the OS list archives, and the impression I have is the ethics question has only been somewhat "plumbed". Phil, you ask what are some ways OST can be destructive? Examples: -Building more McDonald's restaurants- how we can sustain expansion of this chain? -Conducting OS with any corporation which has had a history of discrimination, crowding out small business, etc. -Would you agree to conduct (if you were in the US) an OS to explore how to mobilize volunteers to help elect Bush? Or any candidate with whom you don't agree? I have never taken a course in ethics or anything along those lines. Maybe there are folks on-list who might have a framework the guides them on the ethics issue. Maybe the examples I have listed as "destructive" are not necessarily destructive? Still ponderously, Raffi * * ========================================================== osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu ------------------------------ To subscribe, unsubscribe, change your options, view the archives of osl...@listserv.boisestate.edu: http://listserv.boisestate.edu/archives/oslist.html To learn about OpenSpaceEmailLists and OSLIST FAQs: http://www.openspaceworld.org/oslist
