4-1 Discussion: Ethical Obligations and Decisions

4-1 Discussion: Ethical Obligations and Decisions 

In the past 20 years, there have been numerous global humanitarian crises. For this discussion, you will choose one crisis and will consider the impact of decisions that were made from the standpoint of global economics or global justice. (You can search online to find global humanitarian crises to choose from, or you can choose one from the news or this module’s required resources.) 

Discussing challenges that face our world often means investigating opinions and ideas different from your own. Remember to remain thoughtful and respectful toward your peers and instructor in your initial and response discussion posts. 

Create one initial post and respond to at least two of your classmates. 

For your initial post, address the following:

  1. Describe the global humanitarian crisis you chose and the decisions that were made from the standpoint of global economics or global justice.
  2. What was the impact of these decisions?
  3. Do you believe the decisions were ethical in this situation? Why, or why not?

For your response posts, address the following:

  1. Consider an alternative perspective on the crisis your peer described. From this perspective, how would you respond to the crisis?
  2. What impact would this response have on those involved in the crisis?
  3. How would you explain this response from an ethical perspective?

Remember, your contributions to the discussion play an important part in building the classroom learning community. This assignment is graded on the quality of your initial post and at least two response posts to your classmates. If you refer to any resources, be sure to include an attribution (or citation) for each. 

Brightspace allows the addition of video notes in discussion posts. You may use the Video Note tool to complete this assignment. Written posts are equally acceptable. If you use Video Note, your video should be 2–5 minutes long. If you need assistance using Video Note, please refer to the resources in the Start Here module.
