information organization

Find an article, news report, podcast, lecture, or video that either deals with values and ethics or discusses a concept or technology that has ethical implications. At the top of your paper, include a full reference to your selection, including an Internet link.

Write a 1-2 page essay (double-spaced) that contains four components:

  • Briefly summarize what your selection discussed and how it relates to values and ethics. (Stick to one paragraph – summarize, don’t regurgitate!) (20 points)
  • Relate the topic of your reading to at least one of the values we discussed in this unit (or to another value that has to do with information) and describe exactly how that value comes into play with this topic. (20 points)
  • Relate the topic of your reading to one of the ethical frameworks discussed in the Fox & Reece reading. For example, you can identify which ethical framework the author/s or people depicted in the reading might be coming from. Or you might introduce your own analysis of the topic based on one of the ethical frameworks. (20 points)
  • Declare your own stance on the topic and provide a rationale for your stance while maintaining a respectful discussion of possible opposing views. (20 points)

Tips about selecting a source: A Wikipedia article is not acceptable. Good sources include newspaper or magazine articles, blog posts, podcasts, TED talks, radio/TV productions, etc. 

Tips about topics: The topic of your selection must relate to the world of Information Science, which — luckily — is a broad topic. Possible angles include

  • Current or proposed policies (at the organization, local, national, or international level) about information (e.g., net neutrality, surveillance, intellectual property, etc.),
  • Technological innovations with positive or negative ethical consequences (e.g., facial recognition technology, targeted ads, smart speakers, smart phones, autonomous vehicles, activity trackers, personal digital assistants–Alexa, Google Home–etc.), 
  • The role of individuals, organizations, and governments in providing or blocking access to information (censorship, accessibility for people with disabilities, digital divide, etc.)

 Grading Criteria

Each of the components of the essay is worth 20 points. 

  • Summary: Adequately, accurately, and concisely depicts what the selection was about.
  • Value connection: Demonstrates accurate understanding of what the value means and how it comes into play in the reading.
  • Ethics connection: Demonstrates accurate understanding of at least one ethical framework and how it might be used to analyze the situation depicted in the reading.
  • Personal stance: Presents a coherent and respectful discussion of your opinion and the factual basis for your stance. Also presents an accurate and respectful summary of at least one possible opposing view.

The remaining 20 points of the project will be allocated to quality of discourse (citations given appropriately; well-constructed arguments; avoiding absolutism, exaggeration, and over-reaching statements; evidence given for factual claims; etc.) and spelling and grammar.
