Questions:
1.) what are the concepts of Human Dignity and the Common Good?
1A.) throughout history, how and why did people of diverse backgrounds have quite different views as it relates to lying and deception, and how you think that, in our increasingly globalized world, the negative consequences of any possible cultural misunderstandings caused by those differing views could be minimized or avoided.
2.) Clearly articulate your views on lying and deception, including a working definition of both terms that you may find particularly useful
3.) Easily identify lying and deception as well as the most important forms in which they typically appear (i.e., simulation, dissimulation, hypocrisy, fraud, disinformation, spinning),
4.) Describe the most important schools of thought as it relates to the concepts of lying and deception (i.e., consequentialist, deontologist, and virtue ethicists),
5.) Better understand when and why people might sometimes feel compelled or inclined to lie or conceal information
6.) how does the modern information and communication technologies (i.e., Internet, social medial, surveillance and monitoring equipment, mass data collection by governments and corporations, etc.) may be creating the conditions for a so-called "post-truth" era (i.e., a period in history in which it is supposedly becoming increasingly difficult for people of different groups to accept as true the same set of facts and arguments),
7.) Decide whether the modern technologies available today make it easier for authoritarian governments and major corporations to have access to and control over the information that common citizens generate (i.e., privacy issues) or use to make decisions (i.e., political manipulation and indoctrination).
8.) Clearly identify those situations in which you, your community, or your government should consider the possibility of using lying and deception for the sake of the greater good (like utilitarian or virtue ethics views) or, on the other hand, reject both of them completely without exceptions (i.e., deontological view).
