CURRENTEVENTS.docxCURRENT EVENTS
In each module, the textbook readings provide an opportunity to make connections between theoretical concepts of ethics and real world events in the news. When individuals encounter current moral dilemmas, inevitably each will approach the issues with their own perceptions and biases. Understanding how individual views fit in with various world views provides an opportunity for each of us to understand ourselves better. In these activities, you will use critical thinking skills to expand your knowledge regarding current moral and ethical issues in the world.
You may not post the same contribution as another student, so it is best to start looking for material early in the module.
Properly document your citations and references (according to the current APA standard) and ensure your submission is plagiarism-free. YOU MUST SHOW A CLEAR CONNECTION TO THE TEXT! That means you need to clearly mention the text in the body of your post and use parenthetical citations. That should look something like this: MacKinnon and Fiala (2018) mention this concept blah blah blah (p. 219) or Utilitarianism fits with this article because blah blah blah (MacKinnon & Fiala, 2018).
