مقدمة في أخلاقيات وسائل التواصل الاجتماعي

Doug Campbell provides a comprehensive and fair-minded account of the advantages and disadvantages of social media in our time. It links these evaluations to the individual and society as a whole. The case studies are compelling and demonstrate a deep awareness of the current situation. How should we live now that many of us, or even most of us, are at least partially online? Campbell approaches this question from the perspective of privacy, attention, politics, misinformation, online social ostracism, online friendship, and the potential benefits of stopping using social media, or at least some of its more harmful platforms. In this context, Campbell links his discussions to philosophical concerns raised by Plato, Aristotle, Xunzi, and others. He also links his discussion to recent works in feminist philosophy. Each chapter concludes with a brief definition of key terms, suggested case studies, and discussion topics of interest to students at all levels. An impressive achievement, deserving of a place on the school curriculum. - Mark Alfano, Macquarie University Campbell's book offers profound lessons about how students learn, communicate and grow in a digital world. By exploring the impact of social media on attention, identity, and interpersonal relationships, this book provides educators with timely and important topics about the ethics of social media use. On a practical level, the book also helps teachers understand how to interact effectively with their students who may already be immersed in the engaging world of social media. - Lavinia Marin, Delft University of Technology
