OUGD601: Tutorial 1

What I gained from this tutorial was a clear direction in what I was writing about in my dissertation and also what would be created within the practical element to synthesise the two. We also managed to create a rough draft of the chapter structure for my dissertation. 

For the second tutorial I will create a rough draft of the first chapter which will include various ethical theorists and theories. 

Including: Kantian ethics, Utilitarianism and The Social Contract Theory. 

The first chapter should be a comparative and critical discussion of these ethical theories and how they link to design practice.
