  abstract =     "Since their inception some 25 years ago, computers
                 have become an all pervasive influence in society.
                 Their impact has been felt not only in the sciences and
                 social sciences, but in almost all fields of endeavor
                 where there is a significant amount of information to
                 be taken, stored and manipulated. Their use in the many
                 spheres of business activity has contributed to the
                 creation of a huge computer industry. In recognition of
                 the immense social influences of computers and the
                 concurrent influence of the technocrats who ``control''
                 the machines, computer science departments have
                 recently tried to respond to the challenge by giving
                 their students an awareness of these forces. Their
                 response has taken basically 2 forms. The first
                 approach has been to incorporate within existing
                 courses a measure of social awareness and
                 responsibility. This has been accomplished by
                 examining, where appropriate case situations of
                 computer related developments and trying to assess
                 their implications in the social context. Experiments
                 of this type have been reported by [NEI72]. The second
                 approach has been to create a new course, often called
                 Computers and Society, whose main goal is to expose the
                 student to at least a subset of the relevant issues
                 connected with computers. Though called by the same
                 name, these courses often vary widely, and several
                 proposals which describe various formats have appeared
                 in the literature e.g., see [HOR72] and [LEE71]. This
                 paper deals with a variation on this second approach.",
