Analysis
Ethical Analysis
Is
your
SOPE
observational
and analytic search
honest, objective and
unbiased?
Predisposition
is
unavoidable. I tried to be
neutral as far as possible
but I have some basic
assumptions.
The
identity of Capt. Lakshmi
Sehgal is strongly linked
with her association with
Subhash Chandra Boses
INA. Without this identity
Captain Lakshmi Sehgal
becomes Dr. Lakshmi
Sehgal
and
is
lost
amongst many unsung
heroes
of
freedom
movement and social
activists
who
stood
against the wrong in
society.
I have based my opinion
based
on
the
facts
available in case and
some internet search. I
could
not
find
any
material to remove my
predisposition.
My SOPE observational
and analytic search is
honest, objective and
unbiased
as
far
as
possible.
Is
your
SOPE
narrative, history and
analysis fair, accurate
and factual?
Yes. Our SOPE narrative
is based on the facts
presented

Problem solutions
alternatives?
In SOPE there are many instances
which one can choose to highlight and
analyze. Our choice will decide
everything about our SOPE. In this
case, we have been slightly bent
towards analyzing her commitment for
womans cause and social work, and
tried to link her actions from this
perspective. Her inclination towards
left was taken to strengthen our
Moral solutions:
Conflict between Captain
Lakshmi and her grandmother
regarding her interaction with
tribal girl
Burning of foreign goods by
her mother
Diversity: Marrying a north
Indian. Her daughter married
to a Muslim
We would rate her working with
refugees and diversity Highest.
Learning from AOL2
We understand that predisposition is
unavoidable and aware of our
assumptions. We have learnt the
significance of predisposition and
keeping our assumptions under check.
We have learned to be very cautious of
the way, we analyze anything. WE
learned the significance of questioning
our analysis and question actively, if
our biases are neutral, or if we are
doing justice from all view-points. This
exercise may help in increasing my
ability to analyze issue at hand
critically and present diverse
perspective.
