Reading:
Read case 6: The war against fake news. 2017-Regional-IEB-Cases.pdf
(Found in Modules: Case Studies: “Schedule and Readings.”)
Instructions:
QUESTION: Should social media providers develop technology to censor fake news?
Write three- five paragraphs evaluating the ethical issues of the case and arguing FOR or AGAINST a position from the question. Make sure to pick ONE position (for or against), identify the stakeholders, address various ethical issues (e.g., freedom of speech, violation of rights, happiness of society, autonomy, etc.), give at least 1 argument that supports your position, and explain and reply to a possible objection.
FORMAT:
Paragraph 1: Summarize the scenario briefly, focusing on the elements that you will address in your argument.
Paragraph 2: State your thesis (pick a position either FOR or AGAINST)
Paragraph 3: Give one argument that supports the thesis. Remember to explain your argument fully, using examples or scenarios.
Paragraph 4: Give another argument that supports the thesis.
Paragraph 5: Explain a possible objection to the thesis. Reply to that objection.
Tips:
–Your goal is to give objective arguments to support a thesis.Use the theories that we have studied to support your arguments. One of your arguments must explicitly address one of the ethical theories we covered (Utilitarianism, Deontology, Cultural Relativism, Social contract theory, Egoism, Divine command theory). Think about what Mill or Kant would say.
–Make sure your arguments do not commit any obvious fallacy such as anecdotal evidence, emotional appeal, fallacy of assertion (stating beliefs or opinions), straw man, etc.
–Make sure you give REASONS for the position.
— Explain your arguments fully, using examples or scenarios. Pretend that your reader doesn’t know the case, and does not agree with you. Explain your argument fairly and sufficiently.
–Your last paragraph (or two) should explain a possible objection against your argument, and then explain your reply. Thus, if your thesis is FOR a position, explain an argument AGAINST the position, and reply to that argument.
— Do not use the internet.
