Commented [KO1]: Review all of Module 4 content on
the computer and read Ch. 1 before beginning. Then review
all assignment instructions carefully. I also recommend
reviewing the rubric. As you will see, it is very important
that your work be properly written and formatted or marks
will be deducted.
Commented [KO2]: Please use the updated OWL APA for
Electronic Sources link that I have posted in the assignment
instructions. You will need to go about halfway down the
screen to identify exactly what type of source you have and
then use correct APA citation format.
Newspaper editorials from the National Post or Globe and
Mail can be reviewed and may be suitable for this
assignment.
Commented [KO3]: The issue should be stated concisely
in your own words in one sentence.
Commented [KO4]: The conclusion the article has arrived
at with regard to the issue should be stated in one sentence
in your own words.
Commented [KO5]: Provide the reasons the author gives
to support that conclusion in a bulleted list. Note that even
though a bulleted list is being used, each bullet should be a
grammatically correct and complete sentence which you
have paraphrased and summarized.

Autonomy –When autonomy is removed in order to treat
someone ‘for their own good’ this is called paternalism.
Paternalism is often referred to in a
negative context as it removes autonomy, however it may be a
positive if it is used in cases where autonomy is not possible.
For example, someone who is
in a coma without an ACD, or an elderly patient with advanced
dementia (ethics here can be grey).
Veracity is telling the truth, and is often compared with
deception. Deception may be implying a falsehood or allowing

11. someone to believe a falsehood
without explicitly lying to them – the concept may be morally
similar to lying as you have allowed a lie to exist even without
verbalising it.

12. Journal 1 (10%)
Description
In assignment 1 , you are asked to research current news articles
in reputable online or print news media sources. Your research
goal is to find an important issue facing Canadian society
currently. You can use one of the issues discussed in the wiki
last week. Once you have found a reputable media source, you
are to complete the tasks below that will help you learn to be an
analytic reader.
This assignment relates to the following Course Learning
Requirements:
• CLR1: Identify current issues in Canadian society.
• CLR2: Distinguish between fact and opinion as they are
expressed in a variety of viewpoints.
Task
paste or enter the information listed below:

13. 1. Cite the article you are using in proper APA format. You
can find out how to do this here: LINK to OWL APA
Electronic Sources
2. Restate the issue concisely in your own words. (one
sentence)
3. State the conclusion the article has arrived at with regard
to the issue (one sentence)
4. List the reasons the author gives to support that conclusion
(use a bullet list)
Grading
As the instructor cannot read over every article students select
in detail, this is more of a participation-based exercise than a
direct evaluation of your skill in analyzing the media and
distilling articles into argument. You will be given full marks if
you complete all four tasks and do so in clear, concise, and
correct English. One mark will be deducted for every spelling,
grammar or content error (e.g. the citation not being properly
done). You may also lose marks for not completing the tasks
correctly (e.g. if you list what is clearly a reason as the
conclusion).
See the attached rubric for more grading details.
