Assignment
Details:
When a reporter makes a mistake in a magazine article by misidentifying a fact, the magazine can run a correction. However, if a health care worker makes a mistake by misidentifying a patient's symptoms or by giving an incorrect dosage, someone can get hurt or even die. Accountability and responsibility can be very different across different professions. Have you stopped to consider if this is fair? Should we hold people in certain professions to higher standards of legal accountability and responsibility? Choose a position, and discuss your answer:
FOR argument: Yes, we should hold people in certain professions to higher standards of legal accountability and responsibility. Why do you believe so? What professions do you believe should be held to a higher accountability standard, and why?
AGAINST argument: No, we should not hold people in certain professions to higher standards of legal accountability and responsibility. Why do you believe not? Is there any situation in which you would be inclined to change your argument?
