  522. 

  523. <p>When I signed up for this, I had kind of erased memories of my studies in philosophy, and in ethics. Researching this talk I realised, yeah this is quite a lot to go through, way too much for a 40 minute talk. The history of ethics is huge. There are many dots to connect in moral philosophy. The plan is: I will only loosely do so, and freely apply these examples, focusing on some lessons we can try and use in our daily work. Some of this stuff is just based on things I learned working as a front-end developer in big and small organisations.</p>

  534.               <p>Why do I do this? Well, I think many of us have encountered situations where we wanted to improve accessibility, but had to convince others with good arguments. A large part of why people make websites accessible is that it is the right thing to do. Philosophers have had theories about the right thing for thousands of years, so I thought it would be good to look into some of those ideas and try and apply them to the 2017 world of web accessibility.</p>

  574.               <p>Another technical argument is that, as accessibility is mostly about semantics (or: meaning), focusing on it leaves you with a cleaner codebase. If you've written code that semantically makes sense, it will likely be easy to read, too.</p>

  575. 

  576. <p>Legal arguments: the law says we should do it. this is the case in Europe and America, your organisation can be sued if its website is not accessible. I'm not a legal expert at all, but yeah, there are legal arguments.</p>

  577. 

  578. <p>Business arguments: we can make more money if we include more people. Netflix includes audio descriptions, likely more people with visual impairments will sign up. Subtitles likely brings them more users with auditory impairments, but also people who like to watch stuff in languages they aren't fluent in. There are companies who make profit from being accessible, this case can be made.</p>

  591.               <p>Ethics can be defined in lots of different ways. I'd say it is a field that looks at three things: how we should live, what we should do and how we want our world shaped. This has a place in our field. </p>

  592. 

  593. <p>Ethics isn't part of most computer science degrees, or design programmes, but our work clearly often shapes the world. The question of _how_ to shape the world seems super relevant. I may be biased.</p>

  648. <p>Although I'd argue this applies to our field, this doesn't _directly_ apply to our field or our daily work.

  718.               <p>Aristotle saw ethical virtues as being intermediate between two extremes, for example courage is between having fear (you're too afraid to do anything and end up doing nothing) on the one hand, and having way too much courage and doing dangerous things all the time on the other. </p>

  719. 

  720. <p>The mean is not necessarily right in the middle, it's not like 1 is too little, 10 is too much, so 5 is perfect. The skilled ethical person will be able to decide per situation whether to be at 2, 3, maybe 8.</p>

  807.               <p>And then we get to the Enlightment. Kant is one of the best-known philosophers from that time. He was extremely influential in many fields of philosophy, and ethics is certainly one of them.</p>

  816.     <div class="slide-notes">

  817.               <p>Typical for Kant's ethics is that he regards people as rational. We (probably) all think. We have responsibilities, we can think things through. This was his way of coming up with a theory that works universally: we have all brains, so we are all able to think things through.</p>

  818. 

  819. <p>Unsurprisingly, in deciding whether something is the right thing to do, he focuses on the reasons why we do things. </p>

  820. 

  821. <p>Kant reckoned we have moral duties. The one he is most famous for is something he calls the categorical imperative.</p>

  831.     <div class="slide-notes">

  832.               <p>Let's break the two parts of that phrase down. </p>

  833. 

  834. <p>Categorical in this sense means something like universal, applying to all of us. Imperative means this is an obligation.</p>

  835. 

  836. 

  837.     </div>

  843.     </div>

  844.     <div class="slide-notes">

  845.               <p>This is one of his definitions of the categorial imperative:</p>

  846. 

  847. <p>> Act only acording to that maxim by which you can at the same time will that it should become a universal law </p>

  848. 

  849. <p>For many philosophy students, this is the first and last time they see the word ‘maxim’ used. It can be seen as ‘rule’.</p>

  850. 

  851. <p>So only do stuff according to rules that you'd want to apply to everyone. This is about sticking to principles. If your principle is ‘don't lie’, you should never lie, including when a lie might be beneficial to yourself or your friends. </p>

  860.     </div>

  861.     <div class="slide-notes">

  862.               <p>So this is the process. Make a rule, for example “I'll lie when it benefits me personally”. Then the second question, would not really work as it wouldn't make sense to implement a universal law that's just about you and your benefits. </p>

  863. 

  864. <p>If we make it about “Don't steal”, yea, that would work, it would make sense to have a rule that no-one can steal.</p>

  874.     <div class="slide-notes">

  875.               <p>The difference between morality and prudence is important for Kant, too.</p>

  876. 

  877. <p>In Kants ethics, acting out of self interest can't be moral, you should always act out of principles. If you're a baker and you don't add poison into your bread because you don't want to lose clients, that is a prudential motivation. It has no meaning on the scale of morality. A moral reason would be something like “Don't poison your clients”.</p>

  878. 

  879. <p>Applied to accessibility, for Kant, we would improve the accessibility of our sites because we think that's how sites should be, this is how the web was intended. If you would do it only because it makes your company more profit, Kant wouldn't classify that as moral.</p>

  890.               <p>Most ethicists today will think of themselves as Kantian or utilitarian. So, making another huge jump in history, let’s look at what that means. This is Jeremy Bentham.</p>

  891. 

  892. <p>Utilitarianists decide what the right thing is by looking at outcomes, or the contribution of our actions on the world’s total happiness. The best way to act is the way that increases happiness the most. </p>

  913.               <p>So the question to ask is: does my action increase the world's total happiness? It's like regarding the world's happiness as a basket and thinking of your actions as potential things you could put in there.</p>

  1051.               <p>This is the example:</p>

  1052. 

  1053. <p>You are looking at a trolley and as it is moving along, you notice there are five people on the track, which the trolley would kill if moving ahead. You have the chance to divert the trolley by pulling a lever. The diverted track has one person on it, and if moving ahead, that one person would get killed. Do you divert the trolley?</p>

  1054. 

  1055. <p>If you do, you save five people, but in turn you do kill one person. It's almost spreadsheet-based philosophy: the idea here is that killing one person is better than killing five.</p>

At this Harvard event, the majority of people put there hand up and voted for choosing to kill the one person, only a handful would drive ahead. </p>

  1079.               <p>There is a variation on this, where there is only one track. A trolley approaches five people, who are tied to the track. You are standing on a bridge over the railway and you can see what is going to happen. The trolley is going to drive over those five people, and they will likely die. Now there is a man on the bridge and you are able to push him in front of the trolley. That would cause it to stop and save five lives. What would you do?</p>

  1080. 

  1081. <p>And what if the person you're pushing was actually a doctor? Or a recruiter?</p>

  1113.

  1180.               <p>Imagine a group of people is asked to come up with the fairest way to organise society, they can distribute wealth and justice in any way they would like. However, they are under a ‘veil’ and have no idea what their position in live would be. Rawls calls this the “original position”. They wouldn't know if they would live as a CEO of a multinational, as a care worker, or as the King. </p>

  1190.               <p>So this is the idea. “Amongst the essential features of this situation is that no one knows his place in society, his class position or social status, nor does any one know his fortune in the distribution of natural assets and abilities, his intelligence, strength and the like.”</p>

  1191. 

  1192. <p>This thought experiment assumes we are all rational human beings, and act in our own interest. The idea of the experiment is that if you don't know your specific situation in society, which he called “the original position”, you will make all accommodations to have an equal world. </p>

  1193. 

  1194. <p>You can't take your privilege, or lack thereof, into account, as you don't know about it just yet. It's got to be fair, even if you decide from self-interest. If you come up with a system that favours one sex, that would be against your interests if you end up being a member of the least favoured sex.</p>

  1195. 

  1196. <p>According to Rawls, if people take the Original Position, two principles will influence their decisions.</p>

  1323.               <p>Interests and knowing about them can also work in our advantage. Sometimes lining up interests can be a method to achieve web accessibility. It isn't my favourite way to argue for accessibility, but… with the new Europe-wide accessibility legislation, governments and others have to follow WCAG2. </p>

  1324. 

  1325. <p>Making it accessible costs exponentially more when done in retrospective, it is cheaper to bake it in from the start.</p>

  1348. <p>It's good for us people who make websites to learn and speak the language of people who pay for them. Also if we want to argue for accessibility.</p>

  1359.               <p>So to go back to the prisoner's dilemma… in the real world, you can often see the other person. They aren't locked somewhere, you can go and talk to them. Or at least figure out about their motives and their interests.</p>

  1360. 

  1361. <p>I've found this is a great way to get accessibility done in the places where I work. There are always overlapping interests, and they can be used to promote accessibility. </p>

  1382.               <p>So, in conclusion, when stretching the examples all the way from their original meaning towards a plan for more accesibility, these are my three takeways. </p>

  1383. 

  1384. <p>Make good choices, choose the inclusive thing. Divert the trolley into the inclusive direction and you don't even have to kill anyone! </p>

  1385. 

  1386. <p>Think beyond your own privilege. This can be quite hard. The other day I was building a sticky sidebar and while it was in progress I had hooked it onto the scroll event, for those of you who are also developers, that is terrible for performance. But I have a fast computer and it worked fine on that</p>

  1387. 

  1388. <p>Line up interests! Figure out what the interests are of the people who are blocking you from making accessible products, if there are any. </p>
