Step 2: Research a moral issue.

Use the Internet to research a moral issue. Focus on the specific moral questions being debated as well as the opinion of all sides within the case.

Step 3: Examine a moral case study.

Address the following by creating content for your group page in hopes of attracting new members to your local Amnesty International chapter:

  • An explanation of the issue
  • The possible viewpoints and conclusions
  • A clear statement of your conclusion
  • An explanation of how you reasoned your way to your conclusions
  • An explanation of which underlying beliefs clashed with or supported your conclusion
