ARTICLE REVIEW ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS
OVERVIEW
The purpose of this assignment is to familiarize you with the ethical implications of the use of
data as it related to this course. You must also demonstrate your ability to communicate
effectively in writing with your audience.
INSTRUCTIONS
1. Submit a 3-page analysis (5 pages total with Title Page and References) of an article that
cites an example of unethical behavior as related to corporate or an individual’s behavior
in the use of technology/data or unethical manipulation of such. Your analysis should
include a summary of the article, your analysis of the ethical problem presented in the
article, and how the topic relates to a biblical world view. The ethical problem should be
clearly stated. Do not assume that your summary makes the ethical problem self-evident.
2. Article Selection: It is recommended that you choose a topic that is related to your major;
however, the topic must incorporate technology. This should be a specific event, not an
article such as “Five Ways Companies are Unethical with Data”. Such an article may be a
good starting place but will not be sufficient for this assignment. The article will be
current – from within the past 3 years. You can likely find an example from as recent as
this week/month. As this may be a news article, be sure that you are using a valid source
of news. You should find multiple sources reporting the same information to ensure that
your assessment of the reporting is accurate. Feel free to cite from these additional
sources as well as your main article.
3. Biblical Worldview: You will include at least two biblical references in your analysis.
4. Use APA format, including in-text citations and a reference page.
Note: Your assignment will be checked for originality via the Turnitin plagiarism tool.
