Case Study
Copyright: Hanaa Khamis
| Decision-making Task 1 – In Groups A group of intellectuals are invited to make a written statement to the press expressing their opinions about stem cell research based on their own experiences. They need to decide whether it is ethically right to use the stem cells of unborn babies. You are one of those invited, but you will NOT represent your personal opinion. You will play one of four characters arguing a position either for or against the issue: a scientist, parliament member, religious figure, or Parkinson’s patient. Each of the four characters needs to argue and counter-argue with other characters to reach a final statement about the issue. Each character must support, challenge, and elaborate on presented ideas. Each character must contribute with an introductory message arguing the position of the character s/he represents. You need to respond to contributions made by other members. A closing message is sent to state each character’s final position. Note that all your discussion is in English. |
Reflections
Add your personal reflections on the course by answering these two questions. Make sure you go over all the course components covered inside and out of class.
