SCI 100 Module Five Activity: Ethical Issues in the Natural Sciences Template
Instructions
You should use your research on your chosen ethical issue, your news story, and relevant course resources to support your responses to the questions below. Replace the bracketed text with your responses.
Describe an ethical issue that relates to the main idea of your chosen news story.
One ethical issue that arises from my chosen news story is the potential for accidental consequences in conservation efforts. The study reveals unexpected results, with higher temperatures seeming benefit adult giraffe survival rates. This finding might create a dilemma for conservationists. There is an ethical responsibility to make sure research findings are communicated accurately to the public. The potential for misinterpretation could result in harmful conservation actions.
Explain how bias, beliefs, assumptions, or values relate to your ethical issue.
Bias, beliefs, assumptions, and values can significantly influence the ethical dimensions of the research on giraffes and its impact on conservation decisions. For example, the researchers may carry biases and have pre-existing beliefs about the harmful effects of higher temperatures, so they might downplay or overlook the positive aspects highlighted in the study. Individuals involved in conservation efforts may also have pre-existing beliefs about the causes and impacts of climate change. If these beliefs are close minded and not open to challenging information, they may have trouble accepting research findings that go against these beliefs. Additionally, the study itself may have been conducted based on certain values within the scientific community, such as a focus on climate change impacts. Addressing these biases, beliefs, assumptions, and values is important for ensuring that ethical considerations are put into conservation decision making processes.
Explain how your chosen ethical issue may impact (or has impacted) how research is conducted on the main idea of your chosen news story.
The ethical concern about consequences may lead to the push for long term studies that track the effects of interventions over extended periods. This can help researchers understand how complex the ecological systems are and identify any indirect impacts. Researchers may also work towards providing more context for their findings and emphasize the need for understanding ecological interactions. This can help lower the risk of misguided conservation actions. At the end of the day, the ethical concerns arising from the consequences of research on
giraffes in Tanzania are likely to help the future of wildlife research. This may involve a shift towards more transparent research practices.
Explain how your chosen ethical issue may impact (or has impacted) advancements in the field of study.
The ethical issue may impact how researchers communicate their findings to the public. Scientists may prioritize transparent communication, so that they can acknowledge potential limitations. This can contribute to building public trust and understanding of the complexities involved in wildlife conservation. If public trust is built, then ethical considerations may drive advancements in public engagement, like involving communities in the research process. Community based monitoring programs can enhance the ethical aspects of research and promote a sense of shared responsibility for conservation.
