Ethics

Bristol Gurteen Knowledge Cafe

Thursday 11th February 2010

Led by Ed Mitchell with educational introduction from Andy Wistreich from Essential Education:

It looks like ethics is about right and wrong, but it is never black and white.  For me the fundamental issue is motivation – why do or not do something?  I am also interested in the fact that laws and ethical codes seem to come from out there in society whereas our choices about how to behave seem to be made in here in our minds.  Again, this is not a simple division.  I’ll try to introduce these general points in the intro and then people can take it where they want with examples from their own work and practice.

This is an important, complex and often problematic issue for the individual and society.  By sharing our perspectives we can all learn something to help us in our ethical challenges.

When?

Where?

Pervasive Media Studio, Bristol.
Directly above the 'Leadworks' restaurant, entrance opposite @Bristol:

"Stand with your back to the main entrance to the @Bristol building in Anchor Square, so the Firehouse restaurant is to your left and Oceana to your right (and Pero's bridge in front of you across the square). At the Anchor Rd end of the Firehouse, by the bike rack, is a door covered in circles. That's PMStudio - ring the buzzer."
