Ethics Major Assignment

Analyze the following situation.  Read EACH article before writing anything (yes there are many but they are short).  Consider the many sides of the issue (student at the centre of the issue, other students, teachers, administration, Church, family, public, etc.).  Consider the sources of the articles (are they on sites that could be biased).  Is bias shown in the articles from reading the headlines?  YOUR TASK - Write a 500-750 word response to the situation discussing the ethical AND religious dilemma.   This assignment hits all 3 competencies in the ERC course and therefore will be evaluated as a significant part of your term 3 mark.    

Competency 1 - Reflects on Ethical Questions (this issue addresses tolerance, freedoms, ambivalence, autonomy and Justice)

Competency 2 - Demonstrates an understanding of the phenomenon of Religion (this issue addresses religious tradition, religious experience, nature of human thought, pursuit of the common good, and Religious references in culture.)

Competency 3 - Engages in Dialogue (this issue addresses developing a point of view, types of reasoning and  ways of examining information in developing the point of view)

Here are the links to many articles.  You may research and find others as well.
