Reflective Journal Template – Topic Reflection
Topic
Public Health and HIV-AIDS
What are the key points of contention on this topic?
The keys points of this topic is how to slow the spread of HIV and AIDS in
Africa. One side believes that condoms should be available to everyone to stop
the spread and the other side believes that everyone should do mandatory HIV
tests every so often.
What side of the argument (stance) do you take on this topic?
My stance on this topic is a mixture of both. I believe that condoms and HIV
testing should be available for everyone and should be easy to access. I don’t
think it is right to force someone into doing a test, considering it is their body
and that decision should be voluntary. But, if you have test available and easily
accessible, it will bring the likeliness of an individual going to get tested.
What strong points does the other side of this topic have?
Although it is not right to force someone into taking an HIV test, it would
definitely bring the numbers down considering everyone who has it would be
aware and getting treatment immediately. Logically, it is a good option but
ethically it is not right to force someone into taking a test.
What were the three most important things you took away from the topic?
1. I was not aware that more than 6,300 new HIV infections are discovered
every day. That number is crazy and needs to go down.
2. The average life expectancy in Zambia is 33 years which is the lowest in
the world and AIDs plays a big part in that. That is horrible considering
33 is so young.
3. Confidentiality of your medical records is huge, you shouldn’t be forced
into taking tests and should only be with your own will.
Which ethical theory (of the 6 approved ones ONLY – Kant; Act Utilitarianism;
Rule Utilitarianism; Care Ethics; Virtue Ethics; and Social Contract) would you
apply to this topic to defend your stance? Explain fully. 250 words.
A) In this reflection you must first define the key terms of the debate (for
example, define what Euthanasia/Abortion/Stem Cell/Public
Health/PreNatal Testing/Animal Research/Health Care, etc. means and
what are the different types depending on which topic you are
discussing)
B) Define and explain the ethical theory you chose (show me you know
exactly what the theory is and does – in your own words)
C) Present the evidence both pro and con and follow up how using your
ethical theory is the best way to determine whether or not your stance is
really ethical
D) Conclusion – any final thoughts and opinions would go here
E) 2 to 3 resources as support for your evidence (text book counts as 1)
