In this assignment, you will write an original case study that is related to data science ethics. Preferably this would be a case study from your home area or something that you personally experienced.
(1) Begin your case study with an engaging introduction. The introduction can be a couple sentences or up to a full paragraph, and should draw the reader in and make them want to read more about the case.
Although it would be interesting to imagine possible ethics issues, in this assignment I want you to draw on what you have experienced or heard about, not what you could imagine happening.
(2) In this next section, provide details about the case study that provide the reader with the context for the event and a timeline of what happened. You should make connections in your description of the events to the course topics: for example, explaining if this case study involved a data validity issue, or was a privacy violation, etc.
(3)Finally, provide a few references to validate that this was a real event. If this was an event that was in a newspaper, provide a link; if you heard about this on the radio, try to provide a date; if there is no documentation of the event because it was something that happened to you personally, copy in an email from a family member or coworker who was also aware of the event and can vouch for it having actually happened.
