DESCRIPTION
Is polluting our environment done for the common good?
Does perpetuating discrimination respect the dignity of the individual?
These are just two examples of the many real challenges we face as individuals functioning as members of our community. They highlight the fact that as humans, we are all individuals, and yet none of us lives in isolation. The African concept of ‘ubuntu’ is helpful here: I am what I am, because of who we are - this concept is consistent with the principles of Catholic social thought. Understanding these principles helps us to determine how issues relating to the dignity of the human person and the realization of the common good may be addressed in our personal and professional lives now and in the future.
This knowledge and understanding is a foundation for the development of the skills needed to be able to propose ways to address challenges where shared responsibility for the common good is not being realized. Given the pervasiveness of such problems in our community, addressing this need is important to our success as a community in realizing a more just world – and your role as an individual who can, and must, be part of that.
Therefore, this unit will aim to equip you with knowledge and understanding of the ideas of -self- and -community- as interrelated concepts and develop basic skills to enable you to contribute to a more just society.
Mode/attendance pattern: This unit is offered in intensive mode in Winter Term. You are
required to complete activities in LEO prior to face-to-face classes. The activities are designed to support your completion of the assessment tasks. It is vital to the successful completion of the unit that you engage in these learning modes.
Duration: Intensive mode. You should anticipate undertaking 90 hours of study for this unit, including class attendance, readings and assignment preparation. This unit is the first of two units which are part of the University Core Curriculum.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
On successful completion of this unit, you should be able to:
1. Describe coherently in writing the principles of Catholic Social Thought (CST), and through a personal written commentary on each one, explain how the concepts of 'self' and 'community' are interrelated.
2. Analyze and evaluate the principles of CST in order to write an argument that shows how issues relating to the dignity of the human person and the realization of the common good may be addressed by you in your professional practice (i.e. the degree program you are studying) now and in the future.
GRADUATE ATTRIBUTES
Each unit in your course contributes in some way to the development of the ACU Graduate
Attributes which you should demonstrate by the time you complete your course. You can view the ACU Graduate Attributes for all courses at http://www.acu.edu.au/204356. All Australian universities have their expected Graduate Attributes – ACU’s Graduate Attributes have a greater emphasis on ethical behavior and community responsibility than those of many other universities. All of your units will enable you to develop some attributes.
On successful completion of this unit, you should have developed your ability to:
GA1 demonstrate respect for the dignity of each individual and for human diversity GA2 recognize your responsibility to the common good, the environment and society
GA4 think critically and reflectively
GA7 work both autonomously and collaboratively
GA8 locate, organize, analyze, synthesize and evaluate information
GA9 demonstrate effective communication in oral and written English language and visual media
CONTENT
Topics will include:
• The Good Life and the Golden Rule
• I am because we are; the individual and society
• The history and principles of Catholic socialthought (parts 1 and 2)
• Human flourishing and the common good
• The common good
• Case study: challenges to the common good – freedoms and the common good
• Advocacy: personal and professional challenges of Catholic social thought
QUALITY ASSURANCE AND STUDENT FEEDBACK
This unit has been evaluated through the ‘Student Evaluation of Learning and Teaching’ (SELT) online surveys.
The following changes have been made:
-we introduced an extra class on the principles of Catholic Social Thought
-we introduced a new case study
-we revised and updated the marking rubrics
-we have included e-readings (recommended) on LEO
SELT surveys are usually conducted at the end of the teaching period. Your practical and constructive feedback is valuable to improve the quality of the unit. Please ensure you complete the SELT survey for the unit. You can also provide feedback at other times to the unit lecturers, course
coordinators and/or through student representatives.
TEACHING AND LEARNING STRATEGIES
This unit is delivered in:
• face-to-face mode over a 10-week period in a normal university semester; • an intensive mode in Winter and Summer Terms; and,
• an online mode.
Face-to-face and intensive modes adopt a ‘flipped class room’ approach with no lectures. Small group classes of one hour’s duration are adopted with ‘active learning’ techniques being used as opposed to a didactic method. Active learning methods may include but are not limited to the use of facilitated group discussions; ice-breakers; buzz groups; role play and advocacy.
All resources are electronically based and available through the LMS.

Assessment 2
Write an Op-Ed (opinion-editorial) that allows you to demonstrate an understanding of how issues relating to the dignity of the human person and the realization of the common good may be addressed by you in your professional practice now and in the future.
(You need to select one issue from the list below that relates to the degree program you are studying and write a concise but persuasive opinion piece on this issue relating to the dignity of the human person and the realization of the common good that relates to your professional practice now and in the future.)
- the stigma attached to mental health (or other related health issues)
- violence directed towards, or threats “on the job” to, paramedics, teachers, nurses, social workers etc.
- failure to provide a “living wage” for low income Australian families
- lack of equal and equitable educational opportunities for Aboriginal and Torres Strait islander people
- social media and “social discord” (the role of the arts, humanities, sciences, education etc) - “doping” in sports
- unethical behaviour by the banks/ financial institutions
- treating refugees or asylum seekers like “common criminals”
- challenges faced by rural and remote communities (the role of the arts, humanities, sciences, education etc)
- “Gaslighting”
- Unfair or unethical pricing (margins)
General Instructions:
• Create an evocative and engaging Op-Ed that applies insights from Assessment 1 (knowledge base) to an issue or problem relating to the dignity of the human person and the realization of the common good that relates to your professional practice now and in the future (i.e., the degree program you are studying).
• The Op-Ed should clearly explain to readers what the issue or problem is (in order to achieve a pass grade or better, you must choose an issue from the list above) and how your understanding of the knowledge you have acquired in the unit addresses the issue or problem and relates to the discipline area you are studying in.
• Please note that you do not have to come up with the ‘definitive solution’ but provide a wellargued view in order to move forward on the issue.
• The Op-Ed is 700 words long.
• The idea is to express your thoughts clearly and concisely and make your argument as directly as you can – just like a journalist or writer. Do not assume that this assignment is easy given the word length. The challenge is to present a persuasive argument in a clear and concise manner.
• Although Op-Eds do not usually require referencing, for this academic work correct and full referencing is required. References do not count in the word limit. See referencing guidelines on the UNCC100 LEO page (You can find it under Assessment How do I reference course materials for UNCC units?).
• This assessment will be worth 50 marks.
• Readings for this assessment: The readings of the unit available to you via LEO and through any wider or further reading you wish to include. Please note that you are not required to read outside of the reading list in the unit in order to achieve a high distinction in this assessment task. Further, you should read the article on LEO that explains more fully what an Op-Ed piece is before commencing
this assessed task.

REFERENCING
This unit requires you to use the referencing system used by your discipline area.
See the ‘Academic referencing’ page of the Student Portal for more details.
ACU POLICIES AND REGULATIONS
It is your responsibility to read and familiarise yourself with ACU policies and regulations, including regulations on examinations; review and appeals; acceptable use of IT facilities; and conduct and responsibilities. These are in the ACU Handbook, available from the website.
A list of these and other important policies can be found at the University policies page of the Student Portal.
Assessment Policy and Procedures:
You must read the Assessment Policy and Assessment Procedures in the University Handbook: they include rules on deadlines; penalties for late submission; extensions; and special consideration. If you have any queries on Assessment Policy, please see your Lecturer in Charge. Academic integrity:
You have the responsibility to submit only work which is your own, or which properly acknowledges the thoughts, ideas, findings and/or work of others. The Academic Integrity and Misconduct Policy and the Academic Misconduct Procedures are available from the website. Please read them, and note in particular that cheating, plagiarism, collusion, recycling of assignments and misrepresentation are not acceptable.
Penalties for academic misconduct can vary in severity and can include being excluded from the course
Turnitin:
The ‘Turnitin’ application (a text-matching tool) will be used in this unit, in order to enable
• students to improve their academic writing by identifying possible areas of poor citation and referencing in their written work; and
• teaching staff to identify areas of possible plagiarism in students’ written work.
While Turnitin can help in identifying problems with plagiarism, avoiding plagiarism is more important. Information on avoiding plagiarism is available from the Academic Skills Unit.
For any assignment that has been created to allow submission through Turnitin (check the Assignment submission details for each assessment task), you should submit your draft well in advance of the due date (ideally, several days before) to ensure that you have time to work on any issues identified by Turnitin. On the assignment due date, lecturers will have access to your final submission and the Turnitin Originality Report.
Please note that electronic marking, Grademark, is used in this unit using Turnitin. Turnitin will be used as a means of submitting, marking and returning assessment tasks and so a text matching percentage will appear on your submission automatically.
