1.10 Reflect on how reading and commenting on other students’ blogs has helped you to formulate and refine your own project topic

Engaging with and providing feedback on my peers’ blogs has not only validated my own progress but has also spurred me on in actively seeking out areas for improvement. Below, I share more insights specific to my week 10 group.

Antara’s blog

  • Noteworthy quality: Pragmatism, a quality I initially aimed to include in my project
  • Helped by: Affirming my aim to make my project’s topic timely and relevant

Jessie’s blog

  • Noteworthy quality: Thorough and precise approach, which I hope to emulate
  • Helped by: Making me realize I should be more detailed and analytical in my blog posts and notes

Mamta’s blog

  • Noteworthy quality: Specificity, which I hope to emulate
  • Helped by: Making me realise I should be more specific in my project’s focus

Savannah’s blog

  • Noteworthy quality: Motivation which fueled my own enthusiasm
  • Helped by: Motivating me to allocate more time and thought to my project

In addition, the comments I received from my peers on my week 5 project outline post were immensely helpful in clarifying my project’s stance on economic systems. To summarise, here’s an extract from post 5.1:

In response to questions on the ethics of a high tax rate, I clarified that I know my proposal isn’t considered ethical in Kantian/deontological ethics – it will cause widespread economic issues i.e. unemployment, stock market crash, etc. But this solution means choosing to deliberately take action now in order to avoid an AI-for-profit future, which I think will cause tenfold the unemployment and harm to the economy (amongst other, scarier things) of the high tax rate. So my intervention can be considered ethical, but only from a consequentialist/utilitarian POV. It’s almost a trolley problem. I was previously oversimplifying my ideas to be ‘logical vs illogical’, ‘right vs wrong’, but I now see these as opposing solutions which represent different ethical theories.

══════════════════

To summarise, engaging with my peers’ blogs has significantly influenced the formulation and refinement of my project topic by providing diverse perspectives and insights that have shaped my understanding of ethical considerations and consequentialist/utilitarian perspectives in economic systems.
