Task

Your lecturer will place several links in Interact to a number of relevant articles and/or case studies. These will be available to you just after your first assignment has been submitted.

Choose one of the media articles or case studies listed by the lecturer in Interact.

Use the title of the article/case study provided in interact as the title of your essay, so that the lecturer knows which article you are analysing.

Undertake further research about your chosen topic, to assist you in analysing and discussing it in your essay.

You are required to complete the following:

Step 1.Construct a diagram using Rationaleto map the arguments about a moral claim that you have identified in the article/case study:

Include all supporting and objecting claims. These claims should include facts collated from your own research, classical ethical theories that support or object to the claim and ACS codes that are in conflict with the claim.

You are expected to 'finish off' the case's arguments, turning it into a valid and properly structured argument.

You should use information from the article/case study, other sources discovered during your research, and your own reasoned arguments.

A balanced and impartial argument is the objective.

All arguments must obey the Golden Rule, Rabbits Rule, Holding Hands Rule and the Pyramid Rule.

The main claim/conclusion must be an ethical claim.

Step2. Write an essay,which maps closely to the Rationale diagram that you constructed in Step 1.

The word limitfor the essay is 1,300 words ± 10%. Headings, citations and references do not count towards the word limit, but quotations do.

All the claims shown on the Rationale diagram must appear in the essay, and all claims made in the essay must appear on the Rationale diagram. The essay must present all the detailed information that the Rationale diagram cannot.

Remember to analyse the article/case study from the perspective of at least two different classical ethical theories and present well reasoned arguments for your assessments and recommendations.

Step 3.Write an overall conclusion that justifies your recommendations made in your essay.
