Tackling Global-Local Challenges in Ethics Responsibility and Sustainability

Tackling Global-Local Challenges in Ethics Responsibility and Sustainability

The assessment details are as follows. You should answer all three parts of the question (1,000 words + /- 10% plus appendices where appropriate). Please see marking matrix on page 6.

1. Critically discuss how values influence personal action on climate change. You should treat this as a literature review and anchor your discussion in the resources linked from your Teaching Resource Pack (TRP). (400 words)

2. Complete the Schwartz Values Survey (SVS) included with the teaching. Use this as a tool to help you reflect on your personal values: the values you prioritise, how those values are shaped by influences and experiences in your life, and how your current actions and behaviour reflect your values. Use this reflection to help you complete the template table provided on page 5 below and include the completed table (only) as your answer. (200 words in the table)

3. Finally, choose a photograph that is personally relevant to you. Provide a brief narrative that tells part of your ethical journey, and links the picture with your values (what is important to you). (100 words)

Please note: There are examples within the teaching resource pack of completed exercises and (ii) If you chose to include your answers to the SVS as an appendix, please only include the circumplex map completed with your answers (not the full questionnaire)

Additional guidance:
• You should include the usual RKC cover page, authorship and plagiarism statement. Include a brief abstract (up to 250 words) summarising the whole paper (excluded from word count)

• Use the introduction (200 words) to give brief background about yourself that you are willing to share with your tutor.

• You must base your answer on the teaching and resources provided. A minimum of 90% of references should come from the linked session resources. Any additional references you choose to include should be particularly relevant to the assessment brief.
