Value Sensitive Design (VSD) focuses on which of the following?

Option A (Quality and benefit): While quality and benefit are important, they do not capture the core

focus of VSD, which is more concerned with ethical considerations rather than purely functional or

performance-based attributes.

Option B (Ethics and morality): VSD primarily focuses on incorporating ethical and moral values into

technology design. This involves considering the impacts on human values such as privacy,

autonomy, and fairness.

Option C (Principles and standards): While principles and standards are relevant, they do not

specifically encapsulate the ethical dimension that VSD emphasizes.

Option D (Privacy and human rights): While privacy and human rights are important aspects of VSD,

the approach is broader, encompassing various ethical and moral values beyond just privacy and

human rights.

Value Sensitive Design literature by Batya Friedman and Peter Kahn.

Studies on integrating ethical considerations into design processes (e.g., "Value Sensitive Design:

Theory and Methods" by Friedman, Kahn, and Borning).

Conclusion: Value Sensitive Design (VSD) focuses on ethics and morality (Option B), ensuring that

technology development incorporates ethical considerations and respects human values.
