Create a video or an audio presentation that reports on a contemporary social issue from multiple perspectives.
Dealing with Complexity
For this week’s assignment, you will create an audio or a video presentation that examines from various points of view the complex ethical issue you selected last week as your focus for discussion.
As the producer and correspondent of a television or radio news magazine (like 60 Minutes, VICE News, or All Things Considered), you have been assigned to deliver an informative, 12-minute segment on the contemporary issue that was the focus of your discussions last week and this week. Corporate policy requires that you consider insights from two or more academic disciplines or professions, for example Nursing and Social Work, or Philosophical Ethics, Psychology, and Biology. (Note: These are only examples; you are free to choose your own disciplines.) It also requires that you interview credible representatives of at least two distinct positions on the issue. You do not need to remain neutral on the issue; in fact, you are expected to state and defend your own position with clear reasoning in your own words.
The intended audience for your segment is an intelligent but perhaps uninformed public, so this is your opportunity to engage them in an issue that matters to you.
- Option 2: Produce the audio segment, as you would for broadcast as a radio program or as a podcast. Once again, you will be the correspondent, but are welcome to invite others to participate or record yourself in different roles. As with the video option, Kaltura is an excellent format for audio. However, you may also record audio over a PowerPoint presentation (with simply text and/or images on individual slides).
Include the following concepts in this assignment:
- Explain the issue you selected and have been discussing since last week, with reference to practical instances.
- Describe relevant contributions to the issue from at least two different academic disciplines.
- Explain at least two distinct positions on the issue, considering each fairly. If the two different academic or professional perspectives you have included agree on the issue, be sure to explain the other side of the debate and main arguments for that side.
- Defend your own position on the issue clearly.
Your instructor may provide video feedback on your work, as well as completing the official scoring guide for the assignment.
