Socratic Discussion Feedback

I think that overall the discussion in both groups was lacking strong insight. Most of the people in my group seemed to constantly state the same thing over and over again about if ethics and morals were conditional or not. In the second group I feel like their conversation was also a little off topic, but they offered up some interesting aspects that my group did not. For example, Ivonne brought up the idea about cyber-bullying and how easy it is to avoid by simply logging out of the account or deleting it. To me, it seems as simple as that as well, but to some people they truly don't understand how having an account where you can cyber bully others and receive hate as well is dangerous to everyone involved. A lot of people do not realize that when they are sending things anonymously online that they are unethical because they are hiding themselves behind the "anonymous" screen. A lot of times these people can be in denial and not even think about how what they are doing is unethical. I think that happens with a lot of other things as well and is truly the root of why people break moral and ethical obligations so easily, which is because they simply do not even realize they are breaking these obligations. Also mentioned in the second discussion which I found interesting was that some people stated that they really didn't think that they had strong morals and ethics. What I got from this is another reason why I think people break these obligations, which is because they are not even aware of what their moral and ethical standards are to begin with, so they do not think about them when it comes to making these types of decisions. Or, on the other hand, they do not think they have these moral and ethical standards because it seems too simple to them, like obviously they wouldn't cheat or lie because that's just not okay, so they aren't even realizing that, that is actually their morals they are following. Overall I think the second group had more to offer to the discussion because they had more insightful things to say that got me thinking.
