The diverse possibilities of modern IT systems bring with them pressing ethical problems. In addition to the obvious question of the morally acceptable use of information technologies, the aspects of designing, manufacturing and operating them are also crucial. The contributions deal with the potential for conflict between technology and ethics by presenting real-life case studies and inviting discussion based on questions. In this way, they provide a practical approach for joint reflection on moral imperatives and the ethical handling of IT systems and their possibilities. The volume is therefore excellently suited to teaching and learning ethical reflection and action skills in computer science and in dealing with IT technologies in general.
