Biotechnology Ethics Paper

The intention of this essay is to take a “standard” topic in biotechnology and consider AT LEAST two perspectives of the ethics involved.This is not solely an opinion paper, although you are welcome to include your own opinion- you will also need some sources available showing the sides of the debate in question.

Topic:

The topic I choose for my Biotechnology essay is I want to link it to the topic of genetic mutation and human testing and approach it from the moral standpoint of using human as experimental items to achieve an economical benefits like medical trials. Also discuss the point that development and research in biotechnology can easily lose it effects due to opposition of moral and human freedom and rights with economical benefits, so i want to show that biothechnology is like threading on ice around ethics.

Formatting and Citation Requirements

The paper itself will be submitted within the following guidelines:

• 3-5 pages in length, not counting references

• Times New Roman standard font, 12 point, black typeface
• Double line spacing
• In-text citations following correct APA formatting rules (i.e., not using numbers)
• Sourcing
  • 4 academic sources for the biotechnology topic itself
  • Up to 2 non-academic sources are permitted
  • Works Cited page (alphabetical order, APA format)
• Failure to use proper citations where required will not only result in point deductions but could also result in plagiarism and the associated academic penalties and referral to the Judicial Board of Conduct.I highly recommend visiting the library if you can to speak with the biology reference librarian about citation usage if you have questions.

Be Sure to Review the directions under Course Materials before submitting this assignment!

For today’s reflection, you must analyze a NEWS item – using AGENDA SETTING and one other class vocabulary term, as described in the assignment handout.

“The media’s the most powerful entity on earth. They have the power to make the innocent guilty and to make the guilty innocent, and that’s power. Because they control the minds of the masses.“
~Malcolm X

Full Credit = 35 points:

• • Embeded media item directly into post (using the canvas “insert/edit media” tool above), 5 points
  • 1 paragraph description of chosen media = 10 points (See assignment handout for how to do this!)
  • 2 paragraphs of analysis = 10 points
    • These must be substantial paragraphs – with a topic sentence, and well-argued points. Don’t try breaking one good paragraph into two bad ones. Short, two-or-three sentence paragraphs won’t receive full credit.
    • Each of the two analysis paragraphs must have ONE term/concept (including the assigned term for that week’s MCR if applicable), from class list underlined.
    • Remember – two vocab terms – *One within each of your analysis paragraphs* (not within your description)
  • Comment *thoughtfully and substantially* (at least three sentences *that move the discussion forward*) on at least two of your classmates’ posts = 10 points

Start your post with a greeting that uses your classmate’s name (required). Say something meaningful about whatever your classmate has written in their MCR. This is not the place to simply agree and say “good job” to your classmate, (you are encouraged to do that – but it is not sufficient for points). If you agree with what they said, say so, then add something new that they didn’t mention. If you disagree, say so (respectfully) and let us know why. Or tell us something altogether new about the topic.

• Be sure that your first comment is on a post that has no comments on it yet (if one exists at the time you post).
• Remember to begin your feedback comments with a greeting that includes the student’s name, so I know who you’re addressing as I view your work in the gradebook.

The web article (https://openenglishatslcc.pressbooks.com/chapter/writing-is-recursive/) outlines 5 stages (invention, research, drafting, revising, editing, ). Within each step is a variety of activities that help to frame and shape a document. While drafting, for example, writers not only consider structure and organization, but also page design and layout. And note that the video separates revising and editing into distinct steps; that’s because each step requires distinct actions and activities. This writing process is also recursive, as the screencast indicates, the writing process is dynamic–moving between phases. Reflecting on something just drafted might lead back to more invention, which then leads to more drafting.

The Writing Process Image activity is designed to have you reflect on your own writing process. Doing so, will allow you to better understand the ways in which you approach a writing task and help you consider, with strategies from the textbook, how you might refine your process for the workplace.

First, take a few moments to reflect on your own writing processes. Consider the following questions to help jump start your thinking:

• Where do you write (coffee shop, office, library, etc.)?
• What conditions do you prefer (quiet, listening to music, TV in background, etc.)?
• What do you write with (computer/laptop, tablet, paper/pen, quill/parchment, etc.)?
• What invention (brainstorming) activities do you use (free write, mind map, list, outline, etc.)?

Then, reflect on the ways you compose documents. Do you start with the intro and work all the way through to the end, rewriting and revising when complete in a linear fashion? Or perhaps, you bounce around writing, (re)organizing, and editing along the way, in a more recursive style.

After you have finished reading the web article and reflecting on your own writing process: (1) create an image (using MS Word, PowerPoint, crayons/markers, or by some other method/material with which you feel comfortable) that best illustrates your writing process. The image must show connections among the various stages or points of your process. In other words, it should be more than just one picture. Instead, show process and progression. And (2) compose a 100- to 200-word document that explains your image and discusses your writing process reflection. In this document, also consider how your current writing process might shift or evolve as you develop workplace writing processes.
