  100% Pass and No Plagiarism Guaranteed

Choose one of the media articles or case studies listed by the lecturer in your Interact 2 subject site.

Task

Your lecturer will place several links in Interact to a number of relevant articles and/or case studies. These will be available to you just after your second assignment has been submitted.

  1. Choose one of the media articles or case studies listed by the lecturer in your Interact 2 subject site.
  1. Use the title of the article/case study provided in interact 2 as the title of your essay, so that the lecturer knows which article you are analysing.
  1. Undertake further research about your chosen case, to assist you in analysing and discussing it in your essay.

Write an essay:

The word limit for the essay is 1200-1300 words. Headings, citations and references do not count towards the word limit, but quotations do.

Analyse the article/case study from the perspective of four classical ethical theories including utilitarianism, deontology, virtue and contract. Present well reasoned arguments for your assessments and recommendations.

Write an overall conclusion that justifies your recommendations made in your essay. Include a Reference list at the end of your work, in the correct APA referencing style, corresponding to in-text citations.

Rationale

This assessment extends the skills practiced in Assessment item 1 and 2, to help you to achieve all the learning objectives.

In addition to identifying a contentious situation in ICT and dissecting the argument(s) about it, you must also now demonstrate the ability to evaluate the elements of the argument by introducing classical ethical principles where appropriate.

Since Assessment item 1 and 2, your knowledge will have grown, and you will now realise that almost all ICT ethical dilemmas can be classified under one of the main ICT ethical issues that are discussed in this subject; for instance, surveillance is a sub-issue of privacy, harmful software is a sub-issue of ICT professionalism, and piracy is a sub-issue of intellectual property.

In ICT, the main ethical issues are taken to be:

ICT professionalism

Privacy

Security

Cyber-crime

Intellectual property

Regulation on the internet

Social inclusion

Community and identity

Pervasive and convergent computing.

The assessment item is designed to help you to build skills towards achieving the learning objectives, by requiring you to:

identify an ICT-related ethical issue from a media article or case study;

apply classical ethical theory to the analysis of an ethically questionable situation to determine the rightness or wrongness of actions/decisions made therein;

derive logical and justifiable conclusions to resolve the ethical issue(s);and, apply proper academic referencing.

I received my order last night and now I’m writing my reviews. My assignment has all the points I needed along with a good style. The citations used are relatable and professional. The best thing is the discount I got because I recommended my friend too to use their service. I am so pleased to use this effective service. The features are also amazing, everything is good. Will come again soon!

Now I am happy that I made the right decision of coming to Insta Research for help. My term paper was so technical and analytical at the same time. I got really confused about what to do but got relaxed when I was given such a humble writer. He clarified my concepts with the best explanations and discussions. I almost interacted with him on daily basis within the writing process. The best feature of this site is quick delivery as I got the work before my deadline. Additionally, the term paper is written skillfully and handled quite professionally. Now I am able to take a deep sigh of relief and thank you all for such speedy help. The quality of the work made my day.
