and Social ConstructsAbstractAs the exponential pace of technology continues to escalate, sadly so has technical debt and itscounterpart ethical debt. This paper describes these persistent issues which negatively affectsocieties at a global level, with a focus upon software engineering design methods to expose andprevent these harmful debts early in the development lifecycle. As the users of softwaretechnologies are consequentially affected, social constructs are proposed to provide a feedbackloop to both the developer and the consumer communities to better ensure continuous acceptabletechnical and ethical product quality. A historical review of technical and ethical debt concernsand their relationship is provided, with a focus upon the
