Please avoid a paper that seems choppy and just spews out facts. The goal is to analyze the case and evaluate it in a smooth formal paper. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. The idea is to talk about things like how invading privacy is for the better good sometimes to prevent a bigger evil or how sometimes the utilitarianism approach is bad and you should use an approach that more about equality. This is just a general idea of what we have been going over but I have not done this weeks reading yet so i don’t know to much about this subject yet. Please reach out anytime, I should be done with the reading mid tomorrow. Attached is some info from other students. Do not take it as fact, just an ok reference. In addition is the case study and rubric for the assignment.
