All Juniors: Please watch or finish watching the video on conflict minerals:

We will debate next week, (and I will expect you to be able to cite points from the second half of the film) so here is a reminder of what was on last Monday's post:

Based on your reading (found to the left) and today's video, answer the following questions:

1) To whom does the burden of 'ethics' fall? Scientist doing the research, politicians funding and applying science and technology in policy or philosophers integrating ethics and science?

2) Which of the aforementioned parties do you think have the loudest voice?

3) Is there a way for the scientific community to remain patriotic and pacifistic? 

Be prepared to debate your answers next week.
