“IS there any sort of machinist that can change people’s consciousness into the system?”

 

Don’t answer this question with full details.
It’s not a fact, it’s very simple.

Hint: it’s not “tech”.

feed back: All of your answers are invalid, none of them got this one right. 

What is one example of how the global integration of cultures has affected contemporary philosophical thinking? - answer this question in 350 words.

Having my first discussion assessment due soon but could use help, I have to explain if if I agree or don’t agree with them (I agree with both of them but not sure what to write) the response needs to be 6 sentences in length for each.

Please help Asap♥️

Read the trolly problem’s summary then answer the four questions:

Summary:

Thought experiments are imagined cases that we can use to aid our reasoning about moral theories and principles. One of the most famous thought experiments, popularized in the 1970s, is the trolley problem': Imagine that the driver of a trolley has passed out at the wheel, and his trolley is hurtling out of control down the track.Straight ahead are five people on the track. They are in a narrow pass and cannot escape in time. If the trolley reaches them, they will surely be villed.Fortunately, you are standing next to a lever,which you can pull in order to send the trolley down a side-track.however you realize that a single person is on the side-track, also unable to escape. Pulling the lever will save the five people on the main track but will result in the death of the single person on the side-track. Time is running out. You ask yourself: should i pull the lever?” The trolly problem has been criticized by some for being too silly and unrealistic to help us understand real world moral problems. However I thought experiment has received renewed attention due to developments and self -driving vehicle technology. There are parallels between the dilemma posed by the trolley problem and real-life situations that self driving cars should pose. for example, a drive this car may need to decide what to do, if faced with a choice between colliding with another vehicle or a swerving into a crowd of people.Engineers may need to decide how to program self driving cars to behave in these life -and -death situations.

Questions:

1. What is your response to the trolley problem? Are you morally permitted to pull the lever? Are you morally required to pull it? Defend your answers.

2. How should engineers program self-driving cars to behave in scenarios like the trolley problem?

3. There is a variant of the trolley problem that asks you to imagine that you are standing on the footbridge, looking down as a trolley hurtles towards the five people tied to the track. An extremely large man is standing next to you on the bridge. If you push him off the bridge, his large body will stop the trolley. The large man will be killed, but the five people tied to the track will be saved what is the morally right thing to do in this case , and why? if it’s wrong to push the large man, is it also wrong to pull the lever?

4. Do you think though experiments like the trolley problem can help us understand the nature of morality? Why or why not?
