This situation can be either      in the media (for example one you have sourced from a newspaper, or online      through social media) or through your workplace.

b. If you use a media article       you must include the link to the media article in the references list of       your assignment.

Identify the key ethical issues      contained in your chosen case and use the three distinct perspectives of      applied ethics including professional, philosophical,      sociological/descriptive ethics to analyse the ethical issues involved in      the case. The word limit should be between 1400-1500 words. Note:      Headings, citations, references and any appendices do not count towards      your word limit, but quotations do. At the start of the assignment      indicates in brackets the word count of your assignment excluding those      items mentioned above.
Include a Reference list at the      end of your work, in the correct APA referencing style, corresponding to      in-text citations. You must include at least THREE (3) quality academic      references (one for each ethical perspective) from different sources.      Please note that these references are in addition to those provided to you      through this subject (for example, you still must reference, Tavani      textbook, the Interact subject lecture notes etc BUT these references      cannot be used as one of your three quality academic references from      different sources). Only include references that have been cited in the      body of your assignment and ones that support what you have presented in      your assignment.
