2) Articles in the News

Each individual will select an article that applies to some of the subject matter studied that week. Please draw a specific connection with our textbook and summarize in a Word Document its relationship to a topic in our syllabus for that week. What were some of the most significant aspects discussed in the article?

3) Please remember to individually post an article each week that is related to the subject matter studied in our course THAT WEEK. What are the differences between the articles in the Articles in the News section with those articles which are being used for the Collaboration threaded discussion? There are certainly similarities, but for the Articles in the News section, the individual articles are viewed only by me and have to relate to the subject matter studied in the eBook or the course for that particular week. The articles and discussion for the Collaboration threaded discussion for Weeks 1, 4 and 7 can relate to any legal topic and for Weeks 2 and 5 any ethical topic and for Weeks 3 and 6 any political topic, although there certainly is an overlap between what is political, ethical and legal.
