Critical Analysis Structure
A critical analysis paper should present an argument that defends a position on the assigned ethical dilemma. The goal is to educate the reader on the ethical scenario, present a solution to the issue, and defend your selected solution. Below is a rough outline of the different sections of a critical analysis paper.
- Introduce your case study
- Identify the ethical issues and single out the one you will address
- Analyze the case
- use class readings and your own research to discuss the case
- present your judgement about what should be done and why.
- Defend your position against possible objections
- What arguments exist against your position? How can you refute those arguments?
- Basically: Why are you right?
