Is all data collection unethical? Explain.

Sagot :

Answer:

Short answer no Long answer - no, data collection is essential to the functioning of society

Explanation:

Short answer explanation - All data collection is not unethical because data collection is too broad of a subject to make a claim to whether or not it as a whole is ethical or not. Simple example - is it unethical for a primary grade student to collect data about ice melting for her science experiment? - obviously not because she is imposing harm to no one by doing so, and only furthering her knowledge.

Longer answer - (hope this helps you form a thesis) - While certain types of data collection can certainly be considered unethical, there are many types of data collection that are vital to modern society as a whole. All intellectual works of mathematics, philosophy, and science, are essentially data collection. Deriving mathematics as an example, mathematics is simply a way of explaining the technical occurrences in our world. The inner workings and formulas of math all come from observations of the natural world, and documentation of those observations. Documentation of observations is data collection - - -- - - so essentially not all data collection is bad.

Hope this helps
