Complete the Watch & Interact: Making Ethical Decisions video assignment in Connect. For the thread of this discussion, consider the legal, ethical, and Biblical perspectives of the situation and explain what actions you would take in Alexis’ position. Consider, also, whether Alexis should have looked at Cyndi’s medical records at all. Thoroughly explain your conclusions.
OVERVIEW
Discussions bring dialogue and communication into our learning experience. Unlike so much of
the unsubstantiated opinions we see in the public square and social media, these discussions
provide a space for in-depth analysis and application of the topics in our Learn readings and
presentations. Each discussion is a mini-research paper developing conclusions that are
supported by scholarly sources and critical analysis. The replies are expressly assigned to
respond to classmates with different conclusions or analysis and require civil discourse to
broaden understanding of the topics.
INSTRUCTIONS
Each discussion consists of 2 parts:
1) a thread of at least 300 words in response to the provided prompt and
2) replies of at least 150 words each to 2 classmates’ threads.
Each thread and each reply must reference at least 2 scholarly sources other than the course
textbook, cited in current APA format (including both in-text citations and a reference list). You
must also support each thread and reply with thoughtful analysis (considering assumptions,
analyzing implications, and comparing/contrasting concepts) and Biblical worldview integration.
For each reply, read the threads posted by your classmates and reply to 2 threads that presented a
different conclusion than your thread. Note that comments such as “I like what you said,” “that is
a good comment,” and “I disagree with your comment” do not constitute complete replies.
Rather, state reasons that support your conclusions with additional and/or alternate
research/ideas/thoughts.
