Reference no: EM132293251
Assessment - Argument visualisation
Task
You will create a simple argument visualisation using MindMup software. In next Assessment you will produce a short essay which details the argument you construct in your argument visualisation (this assessment).
Your lecturer will provide a few links for relevant articles and/or case studies as the basis for your Argument Visualisation. These will be available to you just after your second assignment submission date.
Follow these instructions to complete the task:
• Choose one of the media articles or case studies listed by the lecturer in your Interact 2 subject site. Use the title of the article/case study provided in interact 2 as the title of your argument visualisation so that the lecturer knows which article you are analysing.
• Undertake further research about your chosen case, to assist you in analysing it in your argument visualisation (and in your essay in Assessment 4).
• Identify some logical arguments based on the four classical ethical theories including utilitarianism, deontology, contract, and virtue.
• Construct an argument visualisation using MindMup software. Your visualisation should contain the conclusion, and all of the reasons and objections supporting that conclusion.
• Your argument visualisation should present a logical argument for your subsequent essay in Assessment 4. Your essay will develop these arguments based on a deeper analysis of the ethical issues.
• Your essay should contain all of the arguments contained in your visualisation, and you should not introduce new arguments in your essay that are not in your visualisation.
Rationale
This assessment task will assess the following learning outcome/s:
• be able to apply ethical theories to ethical problems.
• be able to analyse ethical situations using critical thinking techniques.
