6 pages, double spaced. Reference page – minimum 5 references
Use
APA style to cite resources and references. There is an
APA guide under INFORMATION.
Here is a suggested structure for your papers:
1. Briefly introduce the topic and the ethical question or conflict involved.
2. State the arguments adopted by those who argue for.
3. State the arguments adopted by those who argue against.
4. State your position and develop the reasoning that supports it.
If you feel a different approach is better, you are free to adopt it, as long as you are exploring the aspects I’ve suggested.
The most common error I see students make in their papers is failing to include adequate citation of resources in APA style.
·
For example, quoting from your research, you may write “Most students don’t pay enough attention to rubrics when doing course assignments, and lose points as a result.” (Crocker, 2020)
· “(Crocker, 2020)” should be an “in text” citation within the body of your writing. The full citation for “Crocker, 2020” must appear on the reference page.
Keep these things in mind:
· WHY, WHY, WHY- when stating YOUR position, “I am in agreement with Crocker’s
statement” isn’t adequate. WHY are you in agreement? On what principle or experience
or reasoning can you defend your position?
· WHO SAYS? – whenever you make an affirmative statement without a foundation, I’m
going to ask you “who says?” If it’s a third person (someone else), it should be cited. If it’s first person (you), there should be argument that supports it.
With some exploration of autonomy and privacy behind us, let’s move on to some real world issues and dilemmas.
How can you make the best decisions about your healthcare if you don’t have all the relevant information you need about your condition and all the treatment options and their risks and potential benefits?
One half the class will investigate the principle of “informed consent” and write their OP on it. If your last name begins with A-L, this is your assignment. Start with a review of the American Medical Association webpage on informed consent at
https://www.ama-assn.org/delivering-care/informed-consent
. From that page you can drill down to pages concerning many specific applications.
How do you insure your autonomy is protected in medical decision making if you are unable to speak for yourself?
The other half of the class, M-Z, will investigate “advance directives” and post their OP on their findings. Start at
http://www.caringinfo.org/files/public/ad/New_York
and search for more information from there.
