SUS1501 Assignment 3 (Forum) Semester 1 Memo | Due 25 March 2025

Description

SUS1501 Assignment 3 (Forum) Semester 1 | Due 25 March 2025 . All options explained. No prizes for guessing which one of the Crossroads Assessment questions we have chosen to
explore here:
“60% of the world’s cobalt is mined in the DRC. Significant amounts of this is mined under
appalling conditions often by child labourers.” My personal opinion on this statement is most
closely described by:
A. What’s cobalt got to do with to me?
B. The DRC is a long way from where I live so I don’t really
C. This is just a fact of global supply chains and necessary for global economic growth, which is in
everyone’s best interest.
D. I wonder who is profiting out of this?
E. It breaks my heart to see children exploited. This is morally wrong and must not be allowed. Step 0 – Do Assessment 1 Step 1 – Set the scene
To set the scene for this assessment, we want you to do a Google image search using the words “DRC
cobalt mines child labour “.Step 2 – Answer the following questions
1. Which is the most likely utilitarian option in the multiple choice question above?
2. Why do you say this? You MUST state your premises for concluding this explicitly, as we
taught you in the section. A DARN GOOD ARGUMENT.
3. What do you feel about this option?
4. Which option did you chose?
At this stage, it is important that you are not just posting your own answers. That doesn’t help
anyone – it’s just you being in your own head. To really make progress in this module you have
to also get some idea of what is going on in everyone else’s heads. And this means engaging
meaningfully and respectfully with your fellow students. So, now that the rest of the group
submissions are visible, we want you to post:
 AT LEAST 3 separate responses.
 Each of these must be AT LEAST 100 words in length.
 These must be in SEPARATE POSTINGS
