Assignment Question

The outline is a tool to help you organize your thoughts. It is not your actual paper. An analysis begins with laying out particular elements. The particular elements then connect to other pieces. The connections drawn must be clearly expressed. You can begin by posing questions, develop responses to those questions, and provide reasons to support the responses given. You could also begin with a declarative statement. Irrespective of how you being, this outline is similar to a GPS. It helps the reader follow your thinking, turn by turn. If you need support or have questions, please ask. I. Starting Point There are three ethical questions/concerns of the case (the number ‘three’ is arbitrary- serves as an example). In other words, you could have one primary question or two questions. It need not be three questions. You could also start with a declarative statement rather than a question: a. The first ethical question is: b. The second ethical question is: c. The third ethical question is: Thesis statement (Analysis) It is unethical to do ‘x’. Or, it is ethical to ‘x’. Indicate the why. The way is inextricably tied to the course materials, not outside sources. You need to know why you say what you say and which principles, theories, etc. connect to your response. Remember: the number ‘three’ is arbitrary- serves as an example): a. Ethical principle/theory/etc. 1: b. Ethical principle/theory/etc. 2: c. Ethical principle/theory/etc. 3: II. Body of the Paper 2a. What is the first ethical question/concern stated above? 2b. Why is it a problem? It is a problem for 2 reasons (the number ‘two’ is arbitrary): The first reason is: What is your evidence? Which ethical principle applies? Explain your ‘why’ by using the course materials (Do not use/refer to my PP slides). You need to go into the reading materials and demonstrate the ways in which your evidence is connected to ethical question or issues at hand. The second reason is: What is your evidence? Which ethical principle applies (if different)? Explain your ‘why’ by using the course materials Did you cite your source(s) in APA format correctly? (Again, do not use/refer to my PowerPoint slides) III. Body of Paper 3a. What was the second ethical question/concern stated above? 3b. Why is it a problem? It is a problem for 2 reasons (see example above) The first reason is: What is your evidence? Which ethical principle applies? Why? FALL 2023 PH 355 Bioethics Analysis – Developing an Outline PH 355 FALL 2023 L. Davis Page 2 of 2 The second reason is: What is your evidence? Which ethical principle applies? Why? Did you cite your source(s) in APA format correctly? (Do not use/refer to my PowerPoint slides) IV. Body of Paper – Counter argument (Goal of the counter is to demolish your claim with evidence) 4a. What is the counter to what you indicated above? To develop the counter, think about your thesis above, your response and the evidence you provided. What line of argumentation (principle/theory/doctrine/etc.) would challenge your response? 4b. What are the reasonable points of the counter argument? There are 2 reasonable points of the counter argument (the number 2 is arbitrary): Reasonable point 1 is: What is your evidence? Which ethical principle applies? Reasonable point 2 is: What is your evidence? Which ethical principle applies? 4c. What are the unethical points/unreasonable/assumptions/opinions? There are 2 unethical/assumptions/opinions. The first unethical/unreasonable/assumption/opinion is: What is your evidence? What ethical principle does the view violate? Why? The second unethical/unreasonable/assumption/opinion is: What is your evidence? What ethical principle does the view violate? Why? V. End Point: Conclusion – This is the place where you summarize what you laid out above I. Bibliography/reference page – in APA format (not MLA). Indicate the sources you used for the analysis.
