To complete the Assignment, compose a cohesive document that addresses the following:
Analyze at least one area of the video “Dangers of Wearing Glasses” in which you think someone might misinterpret the data presented, including why or how the data could be misinterpreted. Examine the consequence(s) that you think could result in the misinterpretation.
Identify the types of questions you would ask or strategies you would use to ascertain whether the individual providing the information has interpreted and presented it fairly and accurately.
Describe another example in which either biased or intentionally deceptive information had major consequences, or in which the failure to act on available information had major consequences, as in the space shuttle Challenger disaster.
Analyze what you think led to the situation in your example or why you think the information was presented in such a way, including the ethical dilemmas or implications associated with your example.
Based on what you have learned from your analysis of the Dangers of Wearing Glasses video, your example, the readings from this week, and your experience, explain how you think you would handle situations where you have to present data that delivers bad news or will have negative consequences.
Assess how your own values and ethics would affect your approach. Reflect on how your answer might change if you think that news could impact your organization in the short or long term (e.g., if the bad news might lead to lay-offs that might include you or might affect a potential job promotion, or if you are giving your leadership information on why a goal has not been met).
Be sure to support your Assignment using this weeks Learning Resources or other credible and relevant resources. You may also include quotes from the weekly Discussion that you think support your Assignment.
