Tesla Corporation (TSLA) stock has been in demand over the past year, tripling in value between July 2019 and January 2020, despite reporting losses in two of the last four quarters. Autonomous vehicle technology is poised for introduction in urban and long haul applications by companies such as Plus.ai. In an interview with Quartz, Bill Gates suggested that taxing robot output could help cover the shortfall in social services due to lost jobs and help pay for the increase in social services and support needed by displaced workers. An article in The Atlantic Magazine (A World Without Work) lays out the impact of automation on jobs and eventually on the default social contract in most capitalist societies. A review of a book with the same name provides additional insight.
Please research the topic of automation and its impact on an individual’s ability to monetize their human capital. Given the idea that humans need to contribute to society to feel fulfilled and happy, please respond to the following:

What is your personal philosophy about firms using automation without regard to its impact on society?

In this assignment, you are required to respond to the question “Why do good?” in the context of a real-world case study of global concern (excluding references). Note: Global concerns are issues that every nation in the world is concerned about, such as child labour, human trafficking, migration, torture, humanitarian intervention, pandemic, scarce resources, discrimination, wars, online privacy, etc. This list is non-exhaustive.

(Minimum word limit: 400 words, Maximum word limit: 600 words)

(a) Present a real-world case study of global concern. You should identify relevant ethical considerations for discussion.

(b) Demonstrate ethical reasoning in your personal response to the question of “Why do good?”. You should make a claim and explain what doing good means in your case study (underline your claim), and apply any ethical theories you have learned in this course to support at least 2 reasons for your claim (number your reasons).

(c) Discuss possible constraints or limitations to any of the theories you have discussed within the context of this case study.

Section B: Essay
President Cyril Ramaphosa officially opened and addressed the first 4th Industrial Revolution SA - Digital Economy Summit. The Summit was hosted by the 4th Industrial Revolution South Africa partnership (4IRSA), an alliance between partners from the public and private sectors, academia and civil society. The 4IRSA partnership seeks to develop Human Resource practices that will enhance training and development in South Africa. Furthermore, the summit presented plans to develop training procedures that will be inclusive, coherent and responsive to the 4IR in the country. The president was quoted saying "Training programmes must allow learner's to be evaluated in the workplace after a period of approximately 6 months to determine whether their performance has improved and whether these improvement contributed to the achievement of objectives".


Use the statement above to identify the training level of needs the summit intended to highlight as well as the evaluation method the President suggested during the summit. Furthermore, briefly analyse the potential impact of the 4IR on the following classrooms.
 Interactive television classroom
 Distance learning
 Computer based training

Assuming the Eq.(3) in the text is valid, what period of rotation of a mass of 0.365 kg is to be expected for rotation radius of 0.140 m, if the outward pull which counters the spring inward pull for vertical mass-hanging string position at 0.140 m is delivered by a mass of 0.680 kg (pan included)? Use 9.810 m/s^2 for the acceleration of gravity.

2. If the quantities measured in order to verify Eq.(3) were obtained with values as in Problem 1, estimate the fractional error (%) on the left side and on the right side of the equation. Use the uncertainties originating from the precision of the measuring equipment: the pulling mass is measured by slotted weights with 10 gram increment (uncertainty +/- 5 gram), the rotating mass is measured by a beam balance with uncertainty 0.1 gram, the rotating radius is measured by a meter stick with 1mm divisions (uncertainty +/- 1 mm), and the period of rotation is determined by measuring the time for 10 revolutions, with 0.5 s uncertainty of that time due to the human reaction at operating of stop watch.

Eq.(3) --> F= 4pi^2(mr)/T^2

1. After reading about the experiments of Milgram, Asch, Zimbardo, and Elliot pick three experiments to analyze and then complete the following for each experiment: In your own words, not copied from an online resource, provide a brief summary of each of the three experiments you picked.

2. What was the original purpose of each of the three experiments, i.e. why did Milgram, Asch, Zimbardo, & Elliot conduct their experiment?

3. What were the results of each experiment, i.e. what, if anything, was discovered about human nature?

4. Were the experiments conducted ethically? Why or Why not? In developing your response to this question think about the following:

a) What did we learned in Module 1 about the ethical code of conduct in conducting psychological research.

b) Does the end justify the means? Essentially, was the research gathered by these experiments more important than making sure they were conducted ethically. We touched on this concept of “end justifying the means” when learning about Kohlberg and Heinz’s Dilemma. Are the results of each experiment relevant to our society today? If so, how? If not, why not?
