I have an Ethical Research Presentation assignment due on June 13, 2020 for Humanities course (Values and Ethics). I have done quite a bit of work on it already. I have an outline, and it does require

Ethical Research Presentation Guide

Instructions:

1. Pick a controversial ethical topic or moral issue. It is best to keep the topic very focused for this short assignment. I chose the topic below here A).

   1. I chose: Topic: Using Drones
      Presentation Issue/Question: Is it moral for the United States to continue its use of drone strikes abroad?

2. Decide what your position is on the topic and prepare to explain why. Pick one or more ethical theories to justify your beliefs about the topic.

3. Conduct quality research on the topic and present that research. A good topic of choice will feature at least five professional sources from the ERAU Hunt Library database. Unbiased articles and academic studies are best. Examples are scholarly periodicals, journals, books, research forums, and Internet periodicals by reputable organizations. You may also use reputable news media (Newsweek, Time, government publications, and web sites), but these do not count toward your total references requirement (five required). Do not use encyclopedias, dictionaries, Wikipedia, and popular forums or Internet web sites.

Note: I have included the following references: There are only 3 references here from the ERAU library, but I can get more if needed, or find these after the presentation is complete. These articles are attached as PDF documents.

Krieger 2013 (https://search-proquest-com.ezproxy.libproxy.db.erau.edu/docview/1437446941?pq-origsite=summon The FBI Has Been Using Drones Domestically Since 2006)

1. Create a 10-minute slide style presentation with accompanying audio. Present both sides of the issue fairly; then justify your viewpoint. End with at least three ethical discussion questions about the topic. Include a slide that lists your references in APA format (see the presentation outline section). Make sure your presentation features an appropriate number of slides and presents the information as clearly as possible. Avoid including slides with too many words, lack of clarity, and poor grammar. Use illustrations where appropriate. Utilize the notes section of the slide for large chunks of text or supporting information.

Note: I will add the audio part in myself.

Presentation Outline:

Your presentation must follow this outline:

1. Title Slide - This first slide must include the presentation title, your full name, and the date.

2. Body Slide- The next slides will contain an explanation and summary of both sides of the issue. Use your research to objectively (your opinion will come later) present the facts and opinions of both sides fairly. In your slides, cite (current APA format) the research you use, including citations. Your explanation and summaries should be in-depth, thus taking up several slides (should be 3+ slides). Use the notes section of the slide if you feel the slides are becoming crowded with too much text. Relate any principles, concepts, or information from your textbook into your presentation.

3. Reference Slide - This next slide must list all sources in the current APA format.

4. Opinion Slide - This next slide is your opinion. Present your own opinion about the controversy. You must explain why you believe what you do. Also, tie your opinion to one or more of the ethical approaches discussed in the textbook. State this ethical approach on the slide and explain why the approach is the right. Ex. "Utilitarian approach" focuses on consequences of abortion, more infant deaths vs. reduced back-alley deaths; deontology approach, does a fetus have rights vs. rights of mother; etc. Use the text or another professional source to support your stance. Be sure to properly cite your sources accordingly.

5. Conclusion and Discussion Questions Slide - Provide a summary of your presentation and close your presentation with three discussion questions about the topic. Think about these questions. Your questions must be ethically challenging and tough. You want your questions to really invoke a great deal of discussion. 

Due dates:

Outline of Presentation is due on May 28, 2020.
