Technology

I feel like technology was very helpful in putting this project together. We were able to e-mail each other to see what days/times meetings would work best for all of us. Also, the group pages in Blackboard was great because we could each add our separate parts, without having to meet to put the proposal pieces together each time there was something new to do. I like how the group pages is so accessible and that you can put up anything from the project to use again later as we put the final power point together. Technology made the process a lot smoother and just overall things were less time consuming as a result.

Ethical Lapses

The biggest ethical lapse example I can think of were the documents written during the Holocaust and the types of dehumanizing language that they consisted of. I learned the importance of treating other people equally from these examples. Also, I learned that these kinds of ethical lapses can be found everywhere, not just during a horrific event. My personal ethical principles consist of treating everybody with respect, which means respecting other people's differences and accepting each person for who they are and what they may stand for.
