Read\u00a0\u201cWhat\u00a0Facebook\u00a0Did to American Democracy\u201d\u00a0and then use Consequentialist ethics examples and the two readings from this module in order to answer this question:<\/p>\n
Did Facebook engage in Information Warfare? Why or why not? Is Facebook responsible in any way for the outcome of the 2016 election? Why?<\/p>\n
Write your case analysis according to these guidelines:<\/p>\n
First, in 150\u2013300 words, write an introductory paragraph that presents in summary (only) the details about the case presented by Madrigal that are relevant to your argument. End with a thesis statement addressing the prompt, e.g., “In this Case Analysis I will argue that [ethical tool] shows us that Facebook [did\/did not] engage in information warfare because [reason], and further that they [were\/were not] partly responsible for the election outcome because [reason].”<\/p>\n
Next,\u00a0in several paragraphs totaling 500-800 words,\u00a0(a)\u00a0explain\u00a0one or more central concepts from\u00a0Prier, (b) use that concept or those concepts\u00a0to\u00a0analyze\u00a0the case, and (c) use your selected ethical tool to\u00a0assess\u00a0the actions taken in the case, as understood through your analysis, arguing\u00a0for what you think was the right thing to have done based on this assessment and analysis.\u00a0(Note: If you want, you can do Scott first and Prier second\u2014you’ll see that the instructions for the next section are identical except for switching the authors.)<\/p>\n
Then,\u00a0in several paragraphs totaling 500-800 words,\u00a0(a)\u00a0explain\u00a0one or more central concepts from\u00a0Scott, (b) use that concept or those concepts\u00a0to\u00a0analyze\u00a0the case, and (c) use your selected ethical tool to\u00a0assess\u00a0the actions taken in the case, as understood through your analysis, arguing\u00a0for what you think was the right thing to have done based on this assessment and analysis.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Finally, in 150\u2013300 words, summarize your position and make other concluding remarks. Don’t make your argument here\u2014you should be making your argument using our authors and your tool for ethical reasoning throughout the entire main part of the paper. The conclusion should summarize the argument and then consider objections or alternate views, respond to those objections, consider wider implications or related cases, and\/or consider problems in or drawbacks to your position. Don’t try to do all of these different things\u2014do whichever of them you think fits best with your position and argument. Also: Don’t be afraid to recognize problems in your argument! Working through moral issues shouldn’t be about winning arguments; it should be about trying to figure out the best solutions by presenting arguments, admitting problems and concerns, and listening to and responding to the concerns and arguments of others.<\/p>\n
