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.
