Some queries
We might find several issues in the case study how can
we talk about all?
My advice: Simply you cannot talk about them all However, You can
establish a table of the individuals/bodies/corporations involved in the case,
and next to each identify the ethical issue with proper in-text citation this
can be used as an appendix that you would refer to while discussing the
ethical issues and saying that due to the limitation of this assessment, I
am going to discuss this issue and this issue which I consider be the most
important in this case based on the fact.
Can we use I in the write up
Yes you can especially when you come to the reflection part, this should
be done using I not the researcher or the writer thinks but I believe, or I
think or I consider whatever you wish to use as verbs!

Some queries
How many sources?
I did not specify any number of sources but, you are third year students,
and I do not believe less than 10 peer-reviewed sources would make a
good assessment however, you need to take the following into account:
(1) You are required to include stack referencing (i.e. including more than
one source to support your argument)
(2) You might be bringing some OLD seminal work usually, you need to
support this with a more recent relevant source.
(3) You need to look beyond the sources that we provided you on the
blackboard.
(4) You need to include peer-reviewed journal articles, and some evidence
from Factiva on the similar cases that you found
(5) You need to cross check the reference list with the in-text citations.

Some more queries
Are we able to argue what we think is the main ethical
dilemma or is there a wrong and a right answer?
Well, as advised you might have more than one issue in the case you
cannot talk about all of them - and that is why I suggested you come up with
a table or a matrix of those so, we can see that you understand the issues
in the case then choose two or more that you will talk about in your
assessment justifying why you chose these two or three as it is the case
there is no RIGHT OR WRONG answer as far as you are able to
LOGICALLY with supporting articles that you will be able to convince us of
your argument.

Some more queries
Which approach is better this or that (I am not going to
disclose the approaches advised by the student in this
query But, I can say this)
I cannot comment which approach you take but remember the S.T.A.R.
so, under the S you would be talking about the issues using the concepts
that we introduced to you in these three weeks but, of course you need to
bring in further sources
