CASE STUDY ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONSOVERVIEW:
You will write a 4–5-page paper in current APA format that focuses on 2 case
studies from each
week’s reading. Each paper must include at least 4 references in addition to
the course textbooks
and the Bible. Each week there is a different set of cases for you to review.
You must review
them separately following the instructions below:
INSTRUCTIONS:
1. State the facts of the case
o What happened in this case?
o Who are the parties?
o What motivated the parties to take this action?
o List the facts by level of importance.
2. Discuss the Issue: Discuss the issues or problems presented by the case.
The legal issue
is the question of law on which resolution of the case turns. An issue should
be presented
in the form of a question. While most cases revolve around a legal issue, you
should also
consider issues of public policy, values in conflict, and practical reality. For
example, a
case study involving abortion might involve the following issues:
o Legal: Is abortion legal? If so, under what circumstances?
o Public Policy: Should abortion be legal? Why or why not?
o Values in Conflict: Which value is more important, a woman’s right to
privacy or
an unborn child’s right to life? Why?
o Practical: What are the options open to someone faced with an unwanted
pregnancy? Where can someone in this situation go for help and advice?
3. Discuss the Arguments: Now that you have defined the facts and issues,
develop and
discuss the arguments that can be made for each of the various points of
view. For
example, what are the arguments, both Pro and Con, for each point of view,
which side
provides the most compelling argument, and why, and what are the
consequences?
4. Biblical Integration and Technology: Look at each of these cases from a
from a
Christian and Technology prospective. How do these cases and their
decisions impact
Christianity, Technology, and society? If the impact is negative, what
recommendations
would you make to overcome that impact? Finally, provide explanations to
problems
associated with health information technology.
5. Conclusion: Each of these cases has a court ruling. Do you agree with the
court’s
decision (why or why not?).
Submit each Case Study by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Sunday of every
module/week.
