Analyse a food related ethical dilemma for New Zealand society
NZQA suppresses grade rates for low-cohort standards.
You need to pick a food-related ethical dilemma that affects New Zealand (like GM foods, fair trade, or intensive farming) and analyse it thoroughly. Your job is to explain what makes it a dilemma, show the different viewpoints people hold, and explain how it impacts our society. At higher grades, you'll dig into the beliefs and values driving those viewpoints, and critically evaluate what consequences and challenges each option creates.
You explain the dilemma and the contrasting viewpoints, and you describe how it affects New Zealand society.
You explore the underlying beliefs and values that drive why different groups hold their viewpoints, and you explain how these values influence their positions on the dilemma.
You critically evaluate the viewpoints of different stakeholders, weighing up their arguments, and you outline realistic consequences and challenges that New Zealand society would face depending on which option is chosen.
