This standard asks you to explain an ethical issue that affects young people and show both the different viewpoints people hold about it and the short and long-term impacts on young people's wellbeing. You need to pick a real ethical topic (like social media use, teenage drinking, drug use, unsafe driving, bullying, or domestic violence) and write a clear analysis of why people disagree about it and what the consequences are.
You describe different perspectives on an ethical issue, list positive and negative effects on young people, and suggest some strategies to improve wellbeing related to that issue.
You explain the reasons why different perspectives exist, clearly distinguish short-term and long-term effects, and explain why certain strategies could help improve wellbeing for young people.
You evaluate how well different strategies could actually work to improve young people's wellbeing, supported by specific evidence or examples, and show sophisticated understanding of how perspectives develop and why they differ.
