Total marks 100 Weighting 35% BASS – FOL / WEL 303A/Term 3, 2014 Assessment Task : 1,500 word Literature Review Jim Ife (2010) states: Accepting a framework of rights cannot imply simply a selfish attitude on the part of the individual, claiming her/his own rights while remaining indifferent to the rights of others. There is a corresponding obligation on every member of the society to respect and support other people’s rights” (p. 154). Conduct a literature review on the need to balance ‘rights’ and ‘obligations’ in contemporary Australia. Your review should include a discussion of the ‘rights’ and ‘obligations’ of individuals and governments as key players in the human rights discourse. Drawing on theoretical insights, academic research and current media reports, the review should evaluate the extent to which these two key players have been able to balance their ‘rights’ with their ‘obligations’ towards others and society. For example, religious groups have always asserted the ‘right’ to practice their religious beliefs freely and without discrimination; however, it has often been argued that religious groups impinge on the rights of others, even while claiming human rights for themselves. Your literature review should explore this and other relevant debates around ‘rights’ and ‘obligations’. Students are advised that any submissions past the due date incur a 10% penalty per day, calculated from the total mark e.g. a task marked out of 40 will incur a 4 mark penalty per day. Students must attempt all tasks in the unit to be eligible to pass the unit.

Notes for essays: This essay will incorporate a formal introduction, main points and conclusion; as this is an essay, the introduction and conclusion, as well as individual paragraphs addressing different issues should not be flagged with subheadings, but incorporated in the essay. The work must be fully referenced with in-text citations and a reference list at the end. We recommend you work with your Academic Writing Guide to ensure that you reference correctly. You will find a link to this document on the main page of every unit, under the 'Assessments' section. Correct academic writing and referencing are essential tasks that you need to learn. We recommend around ten references, unless instructed differently by your lecturer/tutor. Unless specifically instructed otherwise by your lecturer, any paper with less than ten references may be failed. Essays which include sources that are not properly referenced according to the HWF Academic Writing Guide 2013 may be penalised References are assessed for their quality. You should draw on quality academic sources, such as books, chapters from edited books, journals etc. Your textbook can be used as a reference, but not the Study Guide and lecturer notes. We want to see evidence that you are capable of conducting your own research. Also, in order to help markers determine students’ understanding of the work they cite, all in-text references (not just direct quotes) must include the specific page number/s if shown in the original.
