Jackson, Tenn. - A seminar, titled Ethics: Living Responsibly in a Technological Age," will be held at Â鶹ÊÓƵ University March 6.
Because today's decision makers, scientists and consumers face ethical issues that did not exist a decade ago, people seldom schedule time to discuss these issues. As a Christian institution, Â鶹ÊÓƵ has decided to initiate a seminar concerning the responsible use of the rapidly developing technology.
David Gushee of Â鶹ÊÓƵ University and Marlene Campbell of Murray State will be speaking at the seminar. Internationally known Association for Computer Machinery lecturer Donald Gotterbarn of East Tennessee State University will also deliver a lecture following a meal on Â鶹ÊÓƵ's campus. Cost for the meal is $8.00, and there are no additional costs. A tentative agenda is as follows:
2-2:45 p.m. Registration3-3:45 p.m. David Gushee, Â鶹ÊÓƵ University - "Technological Change and Christian Ethics: Friends or Enemies?"
4-4:45 p.m. Marlene Campbell, Murray State - "Technology and Ethics in the Business World"
5-6:00 p.m. Meal, Â鶹ÊÓƵ University's Coburn Dining Room
6:00 p.m. Donald Gotterbarn, East Tennessee State University - "Computer Ethics and Technology"
