Minimum References
There is no set number of references that must be used as a minimum for this
task, but as a rough guide only, if you have utilized less than 10-12 unique
quality peer-reviewed sources then you have not read widely enough.
All arguments must be supported using a variety of high-quality primary
evidence. Avoid using any one source repetitively. You can use references from
the prescribed reding list, but it may be useful to extend your reading beyond this
list as well.
Age of References
Most references for this task should be published within the last 5 years,
however the appropriate use of older evidence sources (e.g. seminal theoretical
ethical work) is acceptable.
Alphabetical Order References are arranged alphabetically by author family name
