4	1	What Are “Ethics in Design”?	2018	Victoria Sgarro	USA	Slate	https://slate.com/technology/2018/08/ethics-in-design-what-exactly-does-that-mean.html -52ce-4025-b208-0ad65e353b43	Examples of product design that fail on the ethics front are all too easy to find—like news feeds promoting fake news, ride-hailing companies psychologically exploiting workers, and virtual home assistants perpetuating negative gender stereotypes. It’s not that product designers don’t care about the ethical ramifications of their work—far from it. It’s that, too often, they assume that such considerations fall outside of their job description.

10	7	Who Do Designers Really Work For?	2018	Mike Monteiro	USA	Adobe Blog	https://theblog.adobe.com/design-ethics-who-designers-really-work-for/	“You may be hiring us, and that may be your name on the check, but we do not work for you. We’re coming in to solve a problem, because we believe it needs to be solved, and it’s worth solving. But we work for the people being affected by that problem. Our job is to look out for them because they’re not in the room. And we will under no circumstances design anything that puts those people at risk.”

12	9	A Designer’s Code of Ethics	2017	Mike Monteiro	USA	Mule Design	https://muledesign.com/2017/07/a-designers-code-of-ethics	Before you are a designer, you are a human being. Like every other human being on the planet, you are part of the social contract. We share a planet. By choosing to be a designer you are choosing to impact the people who come in contact with your work, you can either help or hurt them with your actions. The effect of what you put into the fabric of society should always be a key consideration in your work. Every human being on this planet is obligated to do our best to leave this planet in better shape than we found it. Designers don’t get to opt out.

21	16	Accomplice Design or Ethical Design	2011	Rodolfo Fernández Alvarez	Spain	self published / Foroalfa	https://lnkd.in/eR8k6zT	How long are the designers going to keep collaborating with a system which leads us to an Earth disaster? he responsibility of the designers facing the last events happening in the world is vitally important. Like many professionals of other disciplines, our ethical position leads us to get involved in the changes that have been developing in the post industrial era, the climatic change, the pollution, the environmental destruction and their consequences, as well as in the effects of the overwhelming and self-destructive economic system in which we have been involved by force, which must generate profits at all costs in a short period resorting to wars and hunger in order to reach their targets; and to get involved as well in a forthcoming and contaminated technology of the system. All this implies that our vision of the project of designers might be useful to create a more human and sensible world, which is more concerned about an immediate present rather than about an uncertain future.
