Activity 1: Introduction

According to some observers of contemporary society, we live in a time of ambiguity, a time when ethical codes are in flux, a time when decisions are as likely to be based on individual judgment as on a cultural or group norm.  This, in part, explains why different people may reach different understandings of the same event, idea or phenomenon.  Words, concepts, or other phenomena that are unclear can invite a range of meanings. Task 4 invites you to look closely at your open-ended issue or problem to see if you can detect aspects that might appear to be ambiguous or uncertain, and thus open to interpretation.
