 Ethical awareness 

Are there any possible ethical/ social/ technological / cultural concerns? 

Upon reflection, I feel like there aren't many ethical complications surrounding my issue/ project as it focuses on the issue of techno tourists in more of an educational approach; informing the techno tourists on the culture and how to be respectful of it. Despite this, I think there are some tensions possibly surrounding the willingness of Berlin locals to welcoming techno tourists, as there are elements of hostility within the Berlin techno community. However, I don't think the aims of my project contribute to any hostility, as it focuses on how this conflict can be solved with education.

Even so, the primary audience of my project are people that want to visit Berlin for the techno scene anyway, so my publication isn't necessarily introducing new people
