Please read the synopsis of the Black Mirror (Netflix series) episode “Nosedive” and address three questions:
- Is it Lacie’s fault that she ends up in prison?
- Why does the star-rating system influence the behaviour of Lacie and others? (you may apply theories about psychological and contextual factors as covered in this week’s lecture; you may also use your real-life experience to explain)
- In your view, does the social network company meet its ethical responsibility? (If no, what can you suggest for the company to better meet such a responsibility?)
