(9%) Drawing from our readings, films, discussions, and written explorations of ethics, morals and identity, your project can explore a personal issue for you or a larger world issue. You can complete your project as a Word, PowerPoint or video project. Whatever modality you choose to develop your project in, you will need to include discussions of the following areas: 1. Share with readers what your ethical issue is, that is, define it. 2. Discuss your stance, belief, practice on your issue; include why and how you believe this, e.g., upbringing, schooling, culture, religion. 3. Perhaps the most challenging step, explore how or in what ways you can see and understand someone’s view that is contrary to your own. 4. Document the sources you use in your project (you can use only class readings or research more if you wish). Feel free to expand on these guidelines and, if you wish to explore your project in another way, discuss this with the instructor..
