Work-life Balance
Work-life Balance
Well, this assignment ought to be pretty obvious at this point. What sort of experiences, if any, might you have had regarding your
participation in an increasingly “24/7” work environment? If you haven’t experienced this yourself, you undoubtedly know one or
people who have; talk to them about their experiences. To what degree does information technology of various sorts play a part in
enabling this kind of increased connection between work and home life? Does this seem like a good bargain for both the employee
and the employer, in your experience? How much choice is there given about the terms of this bargain? Overall, does it seem like a
fair arrangement, or would you consider it to be ethically unbalanced?
Write a short paper discussing your own experiences or those of folks you know in this environment, and how you/they have coped
with the potentially conflicting ethical dimensions of these and related issues.
EXPECTATIONS:
The important part of all
these project assignments is to carefully assess your own experiences with the topic, and then reflect critically on what
you might have learned about yourself and about situations through this assessment process.
