Seminar Objectives
Students will:
Stay in the seminar debating teams.
See some more news stories that have ethical dimensions.
Discuss in teams the same case study that was introduced in Seminar One.
Preserve these notes for comparison with their analysis of the same ethical dilemma at the beginning of the module.
Take personal journal notes of their revised impressions and feelings about the case.
Preparation for Seminar
NB: Make sure that you attend the seminar with a print out of the Seminar Brief and The Case Study.
We want you to re-analyse the ethical dilemma case. This will include the thoughts and ideas of others in your team. Use the theory and frameworks that you have encountered during the module (the seminar laminates are your starting point). This exercise can be contrasted and compared with the notes that you made in Seminar One. You will be able to reflect upon working in your seminar teams and how increasing your appreciation of the course content has enabled you to be better prepared for future ethical dilemmas you might encounter in your career.
