Follow-up Question

Add Harm/Beneficence

Harm/Beneficence.


The idea is to evaluate an action by following the ideas of utilitarian ethics ala John Stuart Mill. The focus would be on the identifying possible ways in which an action taken by a stakeholder would result in harm or benefit. Having identified potential harm and benefit, one can compare and weigh harm versus benefit in evaluating an action.
Steps like the following could be applied:
1. If the action is taken, determine who is affected (consequences)
2. Determine how they would be affected
3. Determine any harmful effects (financial loss, suffering, deprivation of
rights, reduce quality of life, increase risk, diminish security, etc)
4. Determine beneficial effects (financial gain, improve safety, elevate quality
of life, improve health, improve security, etc)
5. Compare the actions in terms of their relative harm and benefit, arriving at
action choices that provide gains in utility.
Special note for the final report is to write something about scalability and magnitude. For example, when considering Harm/Beneficence, include some information on how many people are affected on the Harm and on the Beneficence sides. It might be, for example, that in the case that you are considering that severe harm to just a few may not be as important as a great benefit for many.

Follow-up Question

Add Results, Choices, and Possible Actions

Here you should present findings that you have regarding the social, ethical, and cultural
issues of your topic. In scholarly work, findings should be justified and validated. There
should be citations and references.
Begin this section with descriptions of each of the ethical issues and choices that you
have addressed. The ethical issues and choices should be broken out by viewpoint.
Importantly, you should cover each of the four ethics tests, reversibility,
harm/beneficence, feasibility, and going public. A key point here is to recognize that the
final report is to be a scholarly piece of work that is grounded in the sources of
information that you cite and in data that you gathered. Thus, each viewpoint should
clearly reflect the evidence that supports the validity (or lack of validity) in ethical terms
of the various perspectives and action choices that the stakeholders have. Your coverage
of the ethical tests should be complete, and, importantly, closely tied to the sources and
evidence that you developed for the project. Another aspect to cover regarding the
sources and the evidence (data) that you have assembled to tie into the ethics tests and the
action choices are the scalability and relative magnitude effects. For example, in
considering harm/beneficence, can you answer the question of how many people or
groups are potentially harmed versus how many could potentially benefit? It could be, for
example, that severe harm that happens to just a few might be outweighed by relatively
small benefit that happens to a great many

Add a research method

Research Methods
Here you should describe the methodologies that you are employed in your project and the sources that you used. Basic to most projects will be online searches for materials such as web pages, articles, videos, and blogs. Social media such as Twitter or Facebook may play a role. Personal interviews with important people knowledgeable in your topic may be included. In some cases, it may be a good idea to do a survey. Include information on matchups between your sources and the stakeholders that you have identified and whose viewpoints are represented. Describe specifically how the research
methods tie in with how you are advancing your project.

Follow-up Question

For the topic area, describe the following:
2.1 Identify three stakeholders on the research topic.


2.2 The fundamental social, ethical, and cultural issues that you are focused on for the project. If the topic has a significant legal component, include that as well. Be sure that the topic area and the identified issues are ones that feel interested in enough to be motivated to investigate, and you are confident enough that appropriate research sources and materials will be available. Also include a justification for the topic and the associated issues. That is, provide some sort of answer to the question of “Why should we care”? Justification can be in terms of the importance of the topic within society, the scope of the topic, and any data that is available concerning the relevance of the topic.
