Module 2 Critical Thinking

Q In Module 1, you were asked to review the assignment instructions for the Module 8 Portfolio Project. For this Portfolio Project, you will begin your work by discussing the values or ethics that inform your perspective on the topic you chose. It is vital that you form a working thesis about your topic early so that you can shape your research and form an inquiry plan about the research material that you will be using. You will also need to select and analyze key concepts of the topic early in the research process. For this Critical Thinking Assignment, you are to compose a working thesis that takes a definite position on the problem you are addressing in the report. The CT also needs to map a few of the main points you plan to explore. Your paper should accomplish the following: • Identify the topic you have decided on. • If you are working on #1 Facebook, write a minimum of one double-spaced page in response to this question from the case study: o What are the central values in conflict in Facebook’s decision to not fact-check political advertisements? • If you are working on #2 Twitter, write a minimum of one double-spaced page in response to this question from the case study: o What is ethically worrisome about microtargeting? Do you think these concerns would also extend to sophisticate campaigns run by traditional advertising agencies, or even public health campaigns targeting specific behaviors? Devote at least 2 sentences of your page to explaining why you think the way you do about the values or ethics question. Requirements: Your paper should be 1-3 pages in length and conform to CSU Global Writing Center (Links to an external site.), and your sources should be no more than 5 years old. Include at least two scholarly references in addition to the course textbook. The CSU Global Library is a good place to find these references.

Matters related to freedom of speech and expression are the core – values which can be put forth while discussing Facebook’s decision to not fact check political content. Even though there lies a greater chance that the information presented in certain political forums are biased and subjective in their agendas of misinforming the masses, Facebook still cannot choose to get in the way of its proliferation owing to its pledge of equal access.
