Argument 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

No \u2013 companies should be held accountable for breaking the law or being immoral, and the general public has a right to know about this because the behaviour of these companies affects society.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

STRONG or WEAK?<\/p>\n","answer":"

STRONG<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

This statement argues that since companies have an impact on society, then society has a right to be made aware of their wrongdoings.<\/p>\n","tips":{}},{"text":"

Argument 2<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Yes \u2013 employees leaking information about their employer is no different than a soldier leaking military information.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

STRONG or WEAK?<\/p>\n","answer":"

WEAK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

This is a false equivalency. In most cases, leaking military secrets puts lives at risk, while whistleblowing on companies is far less dangerous. They may be similar in principle, but the severity of one compared to the other is too great for this to be a valid comparison.<\/p>\n","tips":{}},{"text":"

Argument 3<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

Yes \u2013 whistleblowers should be punished but should only receive a suspended sentence or a fine.<\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

STRONG or WEAK?<\/p>\n","answer":"

WEAK<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

<\/p>\n\n

This is a call for moderation. Parties both for and against whistleblowing could be left unsatisfied by this solution, and therefore it isn\u2019t necessarily the best one.<\/p>\n","tips":{}}],"behaviour":{"enableRetry":true,"disableBackwardsNavigation":false,"scaleTextNotCard":false,"randomCards":false,"maxProficiency":5,"quickProgression":false},"answer":"Turn","next":"Next","prev":"Previous","retry":"Retry","correctAnswer":"I got it right!","incorrectAnswer":"I got it wrong","round":"Round @round","cardsLeft":"Cards left: @number","nextRound":"Proceed to round @round","startOver":"Start over","showSummary":"Next","summary":"Summary","summaryCardsRight":"Cards you got right:","summaryCardsWrong":"Cards you got wrong:","summaryCardsNotShown":"Cards in pool not shown:","summaryOverallScore":"Overall Score","summaryCardsCompleted":"Cards you have completed learning:","summaryCompletedRounds":"Completed rounds:","summaryAllDone":"Well done!
