Test on Ethical Theories and Modern Dilemmas

Question 1: The introduction of AI monitoring systems that track learners' online activity and analyze behavior for academic performance is universally supported as a means to improve discipline and accountability without ethical debate.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials indicate that while some parents support AI monitoring systems because they believe it improves discipline and accountability, others argue that it invades privacy and creates unnecessary surveillance, clearly showing a lack of universal support and presence of ethical debate.

Question 2: Based on Practice Source A, what is a primary ethical concern raised by parents who oppose the AI monitoring system in education?

A. It enhances accountability among learners.

B. It promotes unnecessary surveillance and invades privacy.

C. It accurately predicts academic performance.

D. It simplifies the process of detecting cheating.

Explanation: The study material explicitly states that some parents argue the AI monitoring system 'invades privacy and creates unnecessary surveillance.' The other options describe aspects of the system or reasons for support, not primary concerns of opponents.

Question 3: Influencers secretly using filters and editing software to alter their appearance when promoting products, leading to followers comparing themselves to unrealistic standards, represents an ethical issue.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: The study materials describe an influencer secretly using filters and editing software to alter their appearance while promoting products, causing followers to compare themselves to unrealistic standards. The question 'Explain ONE ethical issue linked to influencer culture' directly refers to this scenario as an ethical issue.

Question 4: Teenagers comparing themselves to unrealistic online standards is an issue linked to influencer culture.

A. Ano

B. Ne

Explanation: Practice Source B on 'Influencer Culture' states that 'Many followers begin comparing themselves to unrealistic standards online' as a result of influencers altering their appearance. This explicitly links teenagers (followers) comparing themselves to unrealistic online standards to influencer culture.

Question 5: According to the study materials, which of the following is a key ethical concern regarding surveillance in the context of technological progress?

A. Surveillance primarily ensures individual privacy and data security.

B. Surveillance can create environments where convenience is prioritised over human dignity and responsibility.

C. Surveillance consistently enhances accountability in all digital interactions.

D. Surveillance inherently strengthens ethical behaviour by deterring all forms of misconduct.

Explanation: The exemplar essay states that technological advancement has 'created environments where profit and convenience are often prioritised above human dignity and responsibility'. This concern directly applies to the ethics of surveillance, as surveillance can be implemented for convenience or profit but may conflict with human dignity and responsibility. Options 0, 2, and 3 present benefits or absolute positive outcomes that are not supported by the critical view of surveillance mentioned in the materials as a weakening of ethical behaviour.
