If you build for the margins, you build for everyone. Identify unique needs: Work with government and project contacts to understand the demographics of users and any unique needs they might have. Consider accessibility: Proactively test for accessibility in all work. See W3C WCAG for requirements and 18F Accessibility Guide for tools to use. When collecting demographics: Follow best practices when collecting demographic/identity information via forms, demographic data collection should be optional (whenever possible) and should always explain upfront how it will be used and stored

Minimum requirements for building inclusive products (Part One)

Develop for mobile users: Mobile readiness is expected for all online resources. (Not everyone has the resources to own a computer.) Create compatibility: Products should be compatible across web browsers and versions. Build for multiple languages/locations/cultures: Apply best practices for internationalisation/localisation. Use inclusive language: Abide by plain language best practices. (Test your flesch reading level and use tools like grammarly to ensure language is optimised.)

Children's education is so important. Rousseau's view on ethics is that we are born as moral beings with a huge potential for goodness, but we get corrupted with artificial needs. Things like needing ipods and phones create vices that impact our innate goodness and innocence...Morality is not just a form of instinctive behaviour. How much of it is genetic and how much of it is a result of nurture?

Ethics: We all start with potential for goodness 

Nature provides evidence of co-operation amongst animals and plants, which is how “ecosystems” come into being in the first place. Animals behaviour can often appear to be “moral” when viewed from the outside, but they live in a non-conscious, non-symbolic world of instinct. We differ from animals by doing what we do consciously. Human beings are able to choose and take responsibility for the decisions that they make. If human beings are “selfish” then they are so in an oddly co-operative way, otherwise there wouldn’t be families, tribes and societies.

Ethics: Tribal morality is displayed by both animals and humans

MARX - An “ideology” is shared attitudes, values & beliefs. There are different economic "modes of production" throughout history that shape our ideologies & morality.An individual may believe they are acting on “moral” grounds, but they will always be acting in the interests of the predominant class, creating false consciousness.However without moral agreements or rules, society could probably not get started. There is a complex & symbiotic relation between economics & morality. If the economic life of society becomes chaotic, individuals' moral beliefs change rapidly.

Ethics: Class morality

What is the place of individual choice and consequence in a post-Holocaust world of continuing genocidal ethnic cleansing? Is "identity" now a last-ditch cultural defence of ethnic nationalisms and competing fundamentalisms? In a climate of instant information, free markets and possible ecological disaster, how do we define "rights", self-interest and civic duties? What are the acceptable limits of scientific investigation and genetic engineering, the rights and wrongs of animal rights, euthanasia and civil disobedience?"Introducing Ethics" confronts these dilemmas, tracing the arguments of the great moral thinkers, including Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Hobbes and Kant, and brings us up to date with postmodern critics.
