Applied ethics in the technological world: An examination of secondary traumatic stress and trauma exposure in social media
No full textThis study integrates the humanities with psychology by examining the impact technology has on humans. Ethics, literary works that relate to the impact of technology on humans, and how social media and television today may impact the layperson in such a way that they may exhibit symptoms of the condition of secondary traumatic stress will be examined. Through the use of the humanities, this study connects the impact technology has on changing societies, the ethics associated with the way humans react to each other and how television and social media\u27s delivery of traumatic stories may leave some humans with secondary traumatic stress. First, a discussion will be presented on what is known about ethics and technology through a study of the humanities, specifically by looking at traditional literary works and philosophies. Second, an examination of the way technology has changed people will be revealed, including the technological changes in the tools we use to communicate with each other. Then a discussion will occur on how the platforms of television and Internet and social media may be a means to deliver a traumatic story, which may perhaps trigger some laypersons to acquire psychiatric symptoms of an anxiety disorder. Finally, a discussion of the administered and analyzed survey will be implemented to offer feedback on whether or not a scientific study is warranted to further examine secondary traumatic stress in the layperson. This study demonstrates how the communication technologies of television and Internet, with social media, impacted the human condition in that the very presence of television and social media today may indeed affect the human in such a way that secondary traumatic stress in the layperson may surface. In the survey, data were present that some laypersons exhibited symptoms of experiencing traumatic stress after exposure to real life traumas through television and social media. Further scientific research is necessary to determine if a correlation exists between the layperson developing secondary traumatic stress and the amount of exposure to others\u27 real-life traumatic events through television and social media
Editor’s Note
Get PDFThe plight of American prisoners held by the British in New York City during the Revolutionary War has been the topic over the years of several in-depth books and articles. In this issue of the journal, Christian McBurney provides the first extended study of the British treatment of prisoners on prison ships and in jails during the Newport occupation. This issue concludes with a spread of period photographs of the interior and grounds of the Edward King House, the largest and most lavish mansion in Newport before the Civil War. These photographs for the most part still hang on the walls of the house, which has been used since 1969 as the Senior Center for the city of Newport
