If you don’t know your identity, you also don’t recognize the power given to you, nor do you know when to use it. It is only because of who I am that I understand where I stand and what power I possess. Identity determines what I should do. If you don’t understand what to do, you don’t know when and what power to apply. Identity is not fixed; it develops or evolves according to circumstances and times. Therefore, identity is an attribute that one should constantly examine. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
Design ethics is an essential field of study. You may wonder if ethics play a role in design, but they are crucial, particularly in terms of addiction. Slot machines, for example, are four times more addictive than other gambling games. This heightened addiction is mainly due to the variable rewards these games provide. Some designers view this addiction as a means to increase profits. A classic example is a screen with an infinite scroll function, which can lead to excessive time consumption. This occurs because the game’s rewards are unpredictable, and some designers tie this addiction directly to revenue generation. Therefore, ethical considerations are vital across all domains. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
