Prompt: Contact tracing has emerged as a key tool in the struggle to bring the coronavirus pandemic under control. Traditionally, contact tracing has been conducted manually—human contact tracers talk to recently infected people, find out who they’ve come into contact with, and then reach out to those contacts. Given the scale of the present health crisis, however, many governments and public health agencies are turning to digital contact tracing apps to automate this process. On the one hand, such tools raise significant privacy concerns. On the other hand, many worry that the cost of not using them could be much worse. How should we resolve this tension? Should we use digital contact tracing apps? Could we mitigate some of their costs while retaining some of their benefits?
Your essay must address the following questions:
How, according to Nissenbaum’s contextual integrity theory, should contact tracing data be treated? There is room for disagreement about this—explain carefully how you arrived at your conclusions.
Could engineering techniques, such as anonymization and differential privacy, be used to strike a balance between people’s individual right to privacy and the broader social need for data sharing around contact tracing information? What are the strengths and weaknesses of each approach?
What are the tradeoffs between the centralized, South Korean contact tracing app, and the de-centralized GAEN system, described in the Hsu article? Given the option, which approach would you advocate for? Why?
Your essay must follow the outline below.
To avoid losing points, divide the essay into three distinct sections with numbered headings.
Also, be sure to include a Works Cited page and use MLA in-text citations when referencing ideas or directly citing evidence from the assigned reading.

Introduction
Thesis and “roadmap” of your main argument
Your response to the prompt question can be your thesis. Be sure to click the link above to see what makes a complete philosophy thesis.
Engage the Opposition
Consider your opposition’s best reasons and evidence against your thesis.
Be charitable: Present the opposing side’s argument in a way that would satisfy them. Avoid fallacious misrepresentations of the opposing view. This will make your argument more persuasive!
You will respond to your opposition in Section 3, but you can add a transition that summarizes your points of disagreement. However, save the details for Section 3 below.
Analysis (the argument in support of your thesis)
Present your argument in support of your thesis.
Demonstrate the logical reasoning in support of your thesis. Arguments are FACTS and VALUES that mutually support a JUDGMENT or conclusion. Think of each body paragraph as an argument for why we should support your thesis.
Use clear and specific real-world examples to support your reasoning. Avoid vague or hypothetical evidence.
