    https://webapps.srm-app.net/CanvasContent/SF/WCU_PHIL_434_BL_TEMPLATE/Assignments/wcu_phil_434_scenario_hiv_aids/wcu_phil_434_scenario_hiv_aids.html
    In the scenario assignments, you are asked to reflect on responses to the presented scenario and present one side in a debate. It should not just be writing down your first reaction or what you already know. The breakdown of weekly debates will appear in the announcements.
    Some of you will present on this topic in a debate (either pro or con, using the assigned ethical theory). This will appear in announcements area for the whole term. 
    Reflection involves critical thinking, which means rethinking your existing knowledge and previously held opinions in light of what we have learned about theories of ethics, logic, and reasoning. You will need to question your current knowledge and beliefs. Discuss the main points of the debate, what stance you take, support that stance, and discuss the opposing argument. Also, discuss an ethical theory that would apply to defend your view.
    To complete each scenario assignment: this will be due same day as class meets
    1.       Complete the entire scenario. DO NOT focus on HIV/AIDs in the scenario. Make sure you instead discuss Public Health mandates (ie. vaccines for schools, Covid, etc) and the role of Public Health (what is it supposed to do). 
    2.       Fill out the template attached below, only those students who do not present will submit the template. 
    3.       Compose the last question on the template reflection in a Word document and be sure to address, at a minimum, the following questions:
    In this reflection you must first define the key terms of the debate (for example, define what Euthanasia and Physician Assisted Suicide means and what are the different types depending on which topic you are discussing)
    Define and explain the ethical theory you chose (show me you know exactly what the theory is and does – in your own words)
    Present the evidence both pro and con and follow up how using your ethical theory is the best way to determine whether or not your stance is really ethical
    Conclusion – any final thoughts and opinions would go here
    2 to 3 resources as support for your evidence (text book counts as 1)
    4.       Support your conclusions with evidence and specific examples from the textbook, including a minimum of one theory of ethics to defend your stance.
    5.     Review the rubric for specific grading criteria
