Perception

General Overview: For this first milestone, you will create a formal topic proposal for your Final Paper. You will also locate seven (7) references to support the topic. To accomplish this, you will fill out the Topic Proposal and Literature Review Worksheet document (attached in the assignment area), which will guide you through describing your chosen topic and the resources to support it. Refer to the Topic Proposal and Literature Review Worksheet Example document to assist you in filling out the worksheet. The final project is meant for you to propose a hypothetical study. You are not and should not be conducting human subject research for this project. It is not necessary for the purposes of this assignment. All human subject research requires written approval from the AU Institutional Review Board in order to protect the welfare and ensure ethical treatment of the subjects.
You may use one of the references provided in the document you reviewed in the Topic Ideas document introduced in Week 1, but you still need a total of 7 sources. If needed, visit the Shapiro Library Database Index: A-Z Databases for information on how to use the librarys psychology-related databases. For the selection of your seven (5) articles, use PsycINFO or PsycARICLES. Your articles MUST be:
    Peer Reviewed (a. limit your search to “peer-reviewed” and b. check to see that the journal itself is peer reviewed by looking at their website-it will always be noted)
    The articles MUST be of standard length (do not use a brief report or an abstract)
    At least two (2) of the articles MUST contain a research study that was conducted (e.g. have Methods and Results sections)
    DO NOT use Wikipedia or blogs as sources

You must choose references from reliable sources such as peer-reviewed journals. Answer the following questions on the worksheet, which are based directly on the literature review requirements in the final paper. Provide a minimum of two sentences for each answer. 
    What are the key aspects of cognition covered in the studies in your references? 
    What evidence does each study present for how cognitive processes influence the area of human behavior covered in research? 
    How have views on this topic changed over time? You may use the references cited by the researchers in the studies you are using, material from the text, or other appropriate reference material. 
    What conclusions can be reached, based on these studies and references? 
    What research design was used for each study, and why do you think the researchers chose it? 
    How did the researchers address potential ethical issues, and did they do it adequately? Why or why not? 
    What gaps exist in these studies that could be addressed in future research? State a specific research question to address in your final paper. 

Rubric 
Guidelines for Submission: You will upload the worksheet as a Word document to Blackboard for grading and feedback. Once the submissions are graded, you will be able to review the feedback provided to you in the grading rubric. Your worksheet should be completed following proper APA citation and reference format.
Any thoughts that are not your own MUST be cited in proper APA format. Direct quotes (short and long) MUST be cited and formatted following APA guidelines.
Even if you paraphrase information, it MUST be cited. Papers are being evaluated through SafeAssign. Plagiarism will NOT be tolerated. If plagiarism is discovered, it will result in a grade of 0 for the assignment and possible disciplinary action.

Morality and Ethical Dilemmas

Assignment Requirements 

Excessive spelling and grammar errors will result in a deduction of points. Your answers should be in APA format and use citations when necessary. You may use your book and outside sources are allowed. APA format is required. A minimum of one page of content is required to answer the required questions in each situation. Double-spaced paragraphs are required. 12-point Times New Roman font is required. Failure to follow these formatting instructions will result in a point deduction of a minimum of 10 points from 25 for the assignment.

Situation 1
Patty was a rich businessmans daughter. She had the best of everything all her life. Her future would have been college, a good marriage to a successful young man, and a life of comparative luxury, except that she was kidnapped by a small band of radical extremists who sought to overthrow the government by terror, intimidation, and robbery. After being raped, beaten, and locked in a small, dark closet for many days, and continually taunted and threatened, she was told she must participate with the terrorist gang in a bank robbery. If she didnt, she and her family would be killed. During the course of the robbery, a bank guard was shot.

Required questions to answer
Was her action immoral?
What if she had killed the guard?
What if the terrorists had kidnapped her mother or father, too, and told her if she didnt cooperate, they would kill her parents immediately?
What would you have done in her place?

Many readers might recognize this dilemma as the Patty Hearst case. In the 1970s, the Symbionese Liberation Army, a terrorist group, kidnapped the daughter of Randolph Hearst, the tycoon of a large newspaper chain. Her subsequent capture, trial, conviction, and prison sentence has been portrayed in books and movies and provide ripe material for questions of free will and legal and moral culpability.

Things to consider as you prepare your assignment

Example of Analysis:
Moral Judgment: Her participation was immoral.
Rules: One shouldnt hurt innocents.
One should protect innocents.
One cannot sacrifice innocents for oneself or family.
One should not break the law unless it is an unjust law.
Ethical System: Religion (thou shalt not kill)
An important point to this case is that just because behavior is understandable it isnt necessarily ethical or moral; one can never sacrifice innocent lives to save ones own. Be sure to distinguish between passivity and activity in her response.
