You can use the following rationale online editor or any other software to construct a diagram with three different colour boxes and lines:

Software

First you think about all possible logical arguments about your chosen case study. For example, the following are few possible logical arguments about the example provided in assignment 3 resources folder, entitled: "Foreign & local government surveillance creates privacy issues". Why it is ethically wrong to collect Meta data.

Now you need to work on to differentiate all arguments in support (because)-green colour, oppose (but)-red colour and objection to an objection (however)-orange colour

Green box: because-Information is stored for long periods of time and is accessible by many people

Red box: but-Google collections' data from unsecured wi-fi networks was not intentional

Orange box: however-Google differentiated between encrypted and unencrypted content

You are required to complete the following:

Step 1. Construct a diagram to 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 and classical ethical theories that support or object to 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.
• The main claim/conclusion must be an ethical claim.

Step 2.Write an essay, which maps closely to the diagram that you constructed in Step 1.
• The word limit for the essay is 1300-1400. Headings, citations and references do not count towards the word limit, but quotations do.
• All the claims shown on the diagram must appear in the essay, and all claims made in the essay must appear on the diagram. The essay must present all the detailed information that the 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.

Step 4. Reference list
• Include a Reference list at the end of your work, in the correct APA referencing style, corresponding to in-text citations.
• You must include at least FIVE (5) quality academic references from different sources. Please note that these five references are in addition to those provided to you through this subject (for example, you still must reference, Tavani, the Interact subject lecture notes etcBUT these references cannot be used as one of your five quality academic references from different sources).
• Only use references that have been cited in the body of your assignment and ones that support what you have presented in your assignment.

NOTE: Format your assignment according to the instructions given in the Assessment Information, Presentation section.
Rationale

In addition to identifying a contentious situation in ICT and dissecting the argument(s) about it, you must also now demonstrate the ability to convert an argument into proper form and evaluate the elements of the argument by introducing classical ethical principles where appropriate.

Since Assessment item 1 and 2, your knowledge will have grown, and you will now realize that almost all ICT ethical dilemmas can be classified under one of the main ICT ethical issues that are discussed in this subject; for instance, surveillance is a sub-issue of privacy, harmful software is a sub-issue of ICT professionalism, and piracy is a sub-issue of intellectual property.

In ICT, the main ethical issues are taken to be:
• ICT professionalism
• Privacy
• Security
• Cyber-crime
• Intellectual property
• Regulation on the internet
• Social inclusion
• Community and identity
• Pervasive and convergent computing.

The assessment item is designed to help you to build skills towards achieving the learning objectives, by requiring you to:
• identify an ICT-related ethical issue from a media article or case study;
• using a critical analysis technique, analyse the detailed logical structure of the arguments given in the media article/case study and convert the overall argument into a valid and well-structured argument that supports or refutes an ethical position;
• apply classical ethical theory to the analysis of an ethically questionable situation to determine the rightness or wrongness of actions/decisions made therein;
• derive logical and justifiable conclusions to resolve the ethical issue(s);
• develop structured, coherent and logical arguments to support or refute claims; and
• apply proper academic referencing.
