Rolling Stone's UVA Rape Story
For my case analysis I chose a case that was ranked #1 one on the “Top 10 Media Ethics Issues of 2014,” Rolling Stone’s UVA Rape Story. This story caused a lot controversy among the University of Virginia and the local community. I examined and analyzed this story using three ethical theories, the Utilitarianism approach, virtue ethics and the Kantian perspective. Also, I was able to describe the pros and cons using a few competing values such as, truth versus loyalty and individual versus community. Through this process I was able to render a decision of what I believe to be ethical in this particular

    Case Study

    This case deals primarily with ethics and the individual's personal system and the way it affects his or her perceptions and actions. It also looks at rewards and punishments and their influence on behavior. The culture is very shady. They have employees stealing food, friends stealing, and no management in place. Susan is having a dilemma because she is a moral, ethical person who feels uncomfortable with the current work environment. While she did mention some of the problems with theft to one of her student managers, Mack, she feels that he halfheartedly yielded her complaints.…

    A Rape On Campus Summary

    Rolling Stone’s “A Rape on Campus” was one of the most scandalous journalism mistake ever seen. How a magazine such as Rolling Stone could publish an article that was a complete and total lie, is beyond me. In my opinion, Sabrina Erdely ignored many red flags that should have brought up some skepticism about the story she was reporting on. When Erdely first heard Jackie’s story she said, she remembered being “a bit incredulous” about the vividness of some of the details Jackie offered. This should have been the first red flag that something about this girl’s story was off, but Erdely believed that Jackie’s story was reliable so she continued. Another warning sign would be how Jackie was a “challenging source”. Not only would Jackie not respond to Erdely’s calls, texts and emails, but she also refused to release the name of the man who organized her attack. When Erdely finally did get the name of the man who had overseen her assault, Jackie was unsure how to spell his last name.…

    Sexual Assault On College Campuses: Article Analysis

    Daniel Luzer, the writer who wrote the article “Is Alcohol Really to Blame for the Prevalence of Sexual Assault on College Campuses?” this article was published by Pacific Standard. Luzer argues that alcohol is not to blame for the rise of sexual assault but instead the real root of the problem lies with the unrestricted female and male interaction. He believes that if there were fewer opportunities for “cross-gender mingling” that there would be less sexual violence. On college campuses, sexual assault has become a recent development. The reason for this is not to blame on the alcohol consumption, the reason is how men and women socialize freely in their college world. During an internship Luzer tells of working for an older man. He and this…

    Moral and Ethical Issues

    Moral and ethical issues greet us each morning in the newspaper, confront us in the fundamentals of our daily jobs, encounter us from our children's daily school activities, and bid us good night on the evening news. We are bombarded daily with discussions of drug abuse, the morality of medical technologies that can prolong our lives, the rights of the homeless and abortion, the fairness of our children's teachers to the diverse students in their classrooms, and sexual morality. Dealing with these moral and ethical issues is often perplexing especially when individuals are trying to think through an ethical issue and determine what questions to ask and what factors should be considered.…

    Journalism Ethics

    Morality in general can be defined as shared rules, norms, values and beliefs that determine specific behaviour during human interaction and plays a vital role in any performed action. A morally and or ethically sound decision should involve questions like whether it is accepted by others in the society, will this behaviour or action cause harm to someone, to the society or the environment, or are the facts considered in the decision correct? All such factors must be well thought-out according to the context in order to make an appropriate decision. Similarly, ethical journalism requires conscientious decision making.…

    Grading

    (RO message on 3rd March 2010 to all academic staff refers) An important part of the assessment of this subject is a discipline specific scenario/case study analysis or report. This will assess the student’s ability to identify and analyze an ethical issue in the student’s own discipline area and thereby increase awareness of ethical issues in the student’s own research or professional area, their impact, and how to recognize, avoid or deal with them. Because this is a discipline-specific assignment, and will be researched and written from the perspective of the student’s own project or professional area within the discipline, each student’s assignment will be graded by their Chief Supervisor. Your involvement as Chief Supervisor is very important to ensure fair and appropriate grading. However, to ensure a common approach to grading and alignment with the academic level and intended learning outcomes (ILOs) of the subject, please read and follow the points below about this assignment, its submission and grading. For grading, please use the grading table supplied. 1. 2. The work should present a coherent and detailed written critique of a real case, or a description and analysis of possible scenario from the student’s discipline area. The submitted report should be ~1,500 words, and detail how such a case or scenario could or did occur, which ethical principles were ignored or contravened, the harm that could be or was caused at individual, profession, business and/or society levels. The case or issue can be suggested by you as Chief Supervisor or by your student, but you as Chief Supervisor should approve the student’s choice - and you will grade the work. The assignment should be submitted to you for grading by 6th June 2013. The student must reference the work using a consistent and acceptable format for your…
