Solving and managing moral dilemmas.
Solving and managing moral dilemmas.

From the cyber battle field to the future of mankind

Summary/Abstract: The way individuals make choices when faced with moral dilemmas defines them, gives them coherence, authenticity, and contributes to their self-image. When they are attracted to opposite and incompatible directions, people make choices that are predominantly dependent on irrational elements and, very rarely, rationality becomes a working criterion. Morality, principles of conduct, truth, fairness can take on different connotations depending on the pressures of the situation. Traditional examples of professions that often face moral dilemmas are soldiers or intelligence officers. In this paper, we aim to detail the specifics of a new profession, which puts skills of the future in the service of crime or of the community good, weather in time of peace or war, analyzing the dyad hacking/ethical hacking. We will use the Anonymous Group as a case study, an ideology with a specific specificity, which in the context of the Russian - Ukrainian war can turn into a community resource or may turn hacktivism into a source of future anarchism in society.
