Assessment items 3 & 4 are linked. In Assessment 3 you will create a simple argument visualization using MindMup software. In Assessment 4 you will produce a short essay that details the argument you construct in your argument visualization (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 visualization so that the lecturer knows which article you are analyzing.
- Undertake further research about your chosen case, to assist you in analyzing it in your argument visualization (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 visualization using MindMup software. Your visualization should contain the conclusion and all of the reasons and objections supporting that conclusion.
- Your argument visualization 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 visualization, and you should not introduce new arguments in your essay that are not in your visualization.
- When you have completed your visualization, download as a .pdf file
N.B. You are not required to provide references in your visualization, however, your subsequent essay in Assessment 4 should be fully referenced.
