HIV/ AIDS Scenario and Reflection

Write your introduction. Tell us what the paper is about. Provide a solid paragraph. If you

use any sources here, be sure to cite them. The correct citations for the resources I have provided

below are: (Pence, 2021) or (Pence, 2021, p. #) if you are quoting for the textbook. For the

presentation, the correct citations are: (Instructor last name, n.d.) if you are not quoting. You

must include a timestamp in the citation when quoting the video (Instructor last name, n.d., 1:21)

if the quote starts one minute and 21 seconds into the video. The video doesn’t provide a

timeline, so you have to time it yourself. I suggest always paraphrasing rather than quoting. If

you use more than one video from the class, then you must distinguish between in your paper.

Put the sources in alphabetical order (as I have here) and use n.d.-a, n.d.-b, etc. in citations. If

you only use one video, only use n.d. (not n.d.-a, n.d.-b, etc.). Use your instructor’s name for any

class videos or PowerPoints that you use/cite.

The second paragraph should cover how you feel about the topic and why. Consider the

following questions. Did you have any views on the issue prior to viewing the scenario? If so,

what were they? Did they change over the course of listening to the arguments? If so, how?

The third paragraph should cover which of the four responses offered in the scenario,

which do you think is the most ethical and why. This is where you need to be sure to support

your conclusions with evidence and specific examples from the textbook, including a minimum

of one theory of ethics (Care Ethics, Virtue Ethics, Kantian Ethics, Social Contract Ethics

[Hobbes, Rousseau or Rawls version of the Social Contract], Act Utilitarianism, or Rule

Utilitarianism [not just utilitarianism – this is wrong] to defend your stance. Refer back to the

material covered in Week 1.

The last paragraph is your conclusion. Tell us what you learned and how this experience

might have changed or informed your stance on the topic. While you don’t necessarily need to

refer to research here, supporting your opinion with credible sources (proving you have made an

informed opinion) is best. Remember that your final paper must be 1-2 pages long.
