Choose 3 articles that reflect themes your group is interested in exploring (ethics, who is responsible, technology, the role of specific types of failures, etc.). To generate the content for this assignment, re-read the 3 articles chosen by your group and analyze them in terms of the authors and themes. For each theme, you might consider:
Which of the three authors feel this theme is important and why? Do you agree?
Which of the authors emphasized this theme the most? Or not at all? Why might that be?
What other agreements/disagreements were noted by the authors in terms of the themes? Describe them in detail.
Other notable information about the articles/authors/themes?
