SANDEL VIDEO Research Paper
Research Papers involve doing an in?depth study, survey, or evaluation of one or more topics.
A research paper may examine the use of specific evidence in one or more application areas. A research paper must relate to one or more of the topics discussed in this case, a video, but must not be simply a summary of the material covered in the video. The goal of such a "research project" is to go beyond the class material, video, etc.; examine the topics in a much more in?depth manner.
Students are required to select any five (5) videos (excluding Episode # 1) and include all of the six points listed below:
1. Review the underlying ethical/moral issue that is being reviewed in the entire episode(when applicable, both parts);
2. Research the philosophical positions as discussed in the video and briefly discuss them;
3. What is your personal opinion? Why? What are your arguments and basis for your position? Cite research, e.g., books, journals, articles that led you to this opinion. (At least 4 different sources).
4. Do you believe that factors such as gender, age, religion, birthplace, the community will generate differing positions; or regardless of variables, there will a majority of people that will agree with your opinion/
5. Does a decision have to always be YES/NO, TRUE/FALSE? Can there be an effective compromise that everyone will be more comfortable with?
6. Perhaps conduct a survey of about 10 people and record their viewpoints and reasons.
