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.

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
