Notes—9/14I’m having a little difficulty understanding what the identification essay is about. Does our question have to be based around capitalism/democracy? Is this assignment completely different from our big paper due at the end of the semester? I wanted to talk about surveillance capitalism or the relationship between social media use and business ethics in the workplace (I don’t have a specific question yet). Can the topic I write about for the identification essay be the same or different for the big paper?1) Shoshana Zuboff—Michele Foucault–Zuckerberg—Cambridge Analytic—etc—this is the contextual section—how SC has morphed into something grotesque—2) How this capitalistic endeavor exploits democratic freedoms? Employee that takes this data? User also neglects to see what is happening. Is this consent? 20 pages of legalese?3) Salesperson? What is the “ethical” thing to do here, while also make a living? Paradox?4).
