- Critical Analysis and Reasoning: explain diversity of species and within species (CCO7),
- Information Literacy: find, evaluate, use and cite valid sources in scientific reasoning and/or inquiry, and read and summarize information from basic biological publications (CCO3),
- Scientific and Quantitative or Logical Reasoning: provide examples in which intellect, scientific method, and technology have been used to understand living things (CCO10),
- Local and Global Diversity: explain how scientific advances in medicine, genetics, and biotechnology impact humans in different cultures and how these advances may affect personal decisions (CCO8).
ASSIGNMENT:
Gender verification at the elite level of competition is a controversial topic. The purpose is to detect male imposters who would potentially have an unfair competitive advantage over female athletes.
The reality of sex-determination is complex, and it has been used differently in sports throughout times with different degrees of unethical practices.
ASSIGNMENT INSTRUCTIONS:

Do you think the athlete’s cultural environment was supportive? Why or why not?
Support your answers with properly cited evidence.
- If the athlete were from a different culture (for example your own culture), would the reaction be different? How? Explain.
- Many athletes have attempted or committed suicide after their sex determination controversy was made public, questioning the ethics of such practice.
How is sex determination in sports done today?
Write at least one argument for sex determination testing in sports and at least one argument against the way sex determination testing in sports is done today.
How could these tests still be considered an unfair
