Major ethical dilemma of the Web and the Internet

A euphoria of discussionss was in the local news when everyone start talking about the need to filter of phonographic sites. Dr M in his blog discussion pushed the idea of filtering, saying now is the 'appropriate time' since the inception MSC and decree declaration of filter-free Internet for Malaysia. A front page news on some newspapers and main stories in major digital media. Comments from all quarters especially the Ministers and Deputy Ministers in agreement.

All this became a sitting target for PSSB new found arsenal to fire home its IC Citizen training and certification bullets. What a great timing. The endorsement form our Parliament House presentation earlier will put the 1Citizen program into the limelight.

But today Charles I. Cragg in "Because Wisdom Can't be Told" (Harvard Alumni Bullettin, October 19, 1940) gave me a lease of life in confirming the correct approach and direction of using case study in designing and developing the training module of IC Citizen. Now i have the Theoretical Ethical Framework and the right methodology.

As Cragg puts it;

"The case system, properly used, initiates students into the ways of independent thought and responsible judgment. It faces them with situations which are not hypothetical but real. It places them in the active role, open to criticism from all sides. It puts the burden of understanding and judgment upon them. It provides them the occasion to deal constructively with their contemporaries and their elders"

I am happy!
