CRISPR-Cas9 is one of the gene-editing technologies that infinite potential. It may provide human beings with many benefits or cause unanticipated challenges. The governance as standards setting or regulation of gene-editing technologies can contribute to keeping a balance between scientific value and ethical commitments. Guaranteeing public participation provides an additional opportunity to think about ethical and moral considerations: For whose benefit the internationally discussed governance of gene-editing technologies is directed at? There is a doubt regarding whether the governance justifies scientific researchers' gene-editing research. Suppose that governance promotes the advancement of CRISPR-Cas9, it should also encourage greater research responsibility. If not, there may be tragedies brought about by the misconduct of researchers. Thus, the essential matter on the governance for the research of CRISPR-Cas9 is the researchers' responsibility.

As hostile online reviews can have a negative impact on a company's reputation, it is not surprising that online reviewers and business owners often get involved in conflicts which sometimes evolve into legal disputes. This research examines the legal dispute case in which the business owner charges an online reviewer for a defamation. Further, this research compares the supreme court's decision with general public's view on this defamation case, using a survey method. From the legal point of view, an online reviewer's primary motive determines whether the online reviews are defamatory statements or not. Specifically, if an online reviewer's primary motive is to increase the overall benefits for the public society, the online review does not bear any legal liability. According to our survey, consumers' view aligns with the final decision of the supreme court. They believe that online reviews should bear a minimum level of legal liability as online reviews often contain useful and valuable information which can enhance overall public benefits.

Korea is striving to establish a research ethics system, but there is still a disagreement as to the level of government involvement in research ethics. Therefore, this study analyzed the formation process of research ethics system in the United States and sought to derive implications for Korea's research ethics policy. The analysis of the present status of the research ethics policy and laws of the United States showed that i) the establishment of regulatory system is done only after the principles of the research ethics or the guideline are presented first in the academic fields; ii) the responsibility for research ethics is to be shared by the federal government and the research institute, and the primary responsibility for research is given to the research institute and the secondary responsibility to the government; iii) the government has imposed a minimum extent of strong regulation on unethical research; and iv) it is necessary to extend the responsibility of unethical research from the individual level to the structural level.

오늘날 컴퓨터는 우리 사회 전 분야에 걸쳐 중요한 기능을 담당하고 있으며, 20세기 초에 컴퓨터가 만들어진 이후로 인류사회는 여러 분야에서 이들 컴퓨터에 의한 새로운 조류를 경험하고 있다. 이들 정보화의 도래는 우리의 생활 전반을 변화시키고 있으며, 이들 변화의 물결 속에서 우리는 긍정적인 영향과 아울러 부정적인 영향이 동시에 공존하는 사회를 경험하고 있다. 특히, 컴퓨터의 발달과 정보화 시대의 도래는 무한한 정보를 공유할 수 있는 유익한 공간을 제공하는 동시에 프라이버시 침해 등 많은 범죄의 온상이 되는 공간을 제공하는 이중성을 보이고 있다. 우리의 선택여하에 관계없이 이미 우리는 정보화 환경에 속하게 되었으며, 이로써 발생되는 많은 문제점을 인식하고 해결해 나가야할 책임과 의무가 불가피한 것으로 여겨진다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 컴퓨터 사용에 있어서의 많은 폐해들을 기술적인 측면을 뛰어넘어 보다 근본적인 문제인 윤리의식에 초점을 맞추어 그 대응방안 및 해결책을 모색하고자 하였다. 즉, 컴퓨터 윤리의식에 대한 학자들의 많은 논쟁들을 비교분석하고 나아가 바람직한 도덕적 미래를 위해 가능하거나 필요한 현실적 노력들을 제시하도록 한다.

The purpose of this study is to propose the curriculum of consumer life field in Home Economics Education(HEE) to raise people who practice 'ethical consumption'. For this purpose, this study established the concept of ethical consumption through an academic review of the concept of ethical consumption first. Ethical consumption is to the practice of consumption that fulfills personal and social responsibilities to change human life happily. In this study, we find out how the consumer life area in the HEE curriculum has been educated and we propose how to teach the content of ethical consumption in HEE curriculum by critically examining the content of ethical consumption presented in current HEE textbooks First, in the HEE curriculum, the contents of the consumer life field have been presented since the first curriculum, and the qualitative change has gradually been made as the concept of the consumer culture, but responsible consumption and ethical consumption are not properly reflected in the education and the summit. Second, the revised HEE textbooks of 2015 is necessary to present concrete method of ethical consumption practice because it lacks definite definition of ethical consumption and presents only general contents. Third, the direction of HEE curriculum for ethical consumption practice is responsible and the goal of HEE curriculum is to raise awareness of social responsibility for ethical consumption practice. The contents of HEE curriculum for ethical consumption practice should be included in consumption and consumption, sustainable consumption, and ethical consumption.

Establishing greater reliability in property appraisal is critical because it promotes the public interest. Reliability is composed of competence and ethics. In particular, the ethics of property appraisal has individual and corporational aspects. This study aimed to evaluate how the ethical climate of a firm is affected by the scale of appraisal firms, thereby validating the effect of the 'Large Appraisal Firm System'. Hence, the ethical climate of appraisal firms, an indicator of inherent ethical value recognition, was investigated, divided into recognition of social responsibility and exclusion of self-interest. The study results showed that the ethical management systems of appraisal firms encourage the appraisers of such firms to be conscious of their social responsibility and to exclude self-interest in their work. The degree of such influence, however, differs according to the scale of appraisal firms. Based on these results, further research on the maintenance and operation of the ethical management systems of appraisal firms is required to enhance the reliability of property appraisal.

Complex ethical issues of Emergency Medical Techinician (EMT) out-of hospital emergency medical scene and the ER (Emergency Room) behaviors were studied. The survey was conducted by 500 EMT group members working in the field of ambulance work and general hospital and it was about their work ethics, discussions and solutions about the transferred patients, and ethics regarding Do Not Attempt Resuscitate (DNAR). The survey includes work ethics, awareness about the target job, a discussion on the transfer of patients, measures, and deathbed. Discussions about the patient's condition and diagnosis results were majorly absent during patient transportation at the emergency care scene. More than 90% of emergency care transfer were inappropriate. Sometimes, EMT working in the field facing morally unethical problems beyond their responsibility. When EMT, who can not make death diagnosis, received deathbed related DNAR issues, they gone through severe ethical conflicts. The institutional support and therapy for EMT was weak. In Korea, especially in the accident site, ethical issues education is more needed than DNAR prevalence of education and guidance. If ethics training and guidance are given to EMT, a lot of moral errors in the field can be resolved.

Though that the importance of business ethics is growing, research and education of business ethics are insufficient. There are still few to teach business ethics as a formal subject at four-year universities, and there is little research on business ethics. The education of business ethics is mainly a simple type of discussion that focuses on cases. The research of business ethics is focused on corporate social responsibility, ignoring many subjects to be dealt with in business ethics. Starting from this recognition, this paper uses qualitative research method to identify five topics to be addressed in business ethics: employee right, employee responsibility, environmental responsibility, diversity and discrimination, and international business and globalization. Directions for education and research related to each subject are from examining the latest literature related to each topic. Specifically, this paper discusses the contents to be educated in each topic, and presents directions of research to be done in the future. Consequently, this paper presents directions for the development of education and research on the five topics in business ethics. Based on this research as the theoretical basis, various researches on each subject will be possible in the future.
