ETHC445 Principles of Ethics

Week 7 Assignment

Case Study

This case study is due
in Week 7. Please plan to begin your
research and work this week.

There are two major components
of this assignment:

First, select an
organization which has dealt with significant ethical issues recently. Examples
are listed below. This will be the foundation for your case study. To help
complete your case study, you will need to conduct research on your selected
organization and consider the ethical issues involved with this case. Be
prepared to describe the ethical issues involved, furnish specific examples and
evidence, and utilize the ethical concepts from the course to analyze the issue
by following the outline provided.

Second, you will
develop you own personal ethical philosophy to support your analysis of your
selected case. As part of designing your ethical philosophy, you will need to
include specific and clear details and guidelines that will guide ethical
choices. You will use these guidelines to help illustrate how your philosophy
relates to this organization’s ethical issue and what you would do as a result
and why.

This will be an APA
paper that use and cites course material (textbook and the lessons) and
includes at least three additional scholarly sources.

The paper will must include
the following sections:

Introduction/thesis-
Provide a strong introduction and thesis to pull this paper together.

Facts- This section
should use your outside research to describe what happened and what the ethical
issue was. What is the current state? What was the outcome?

Ethical Analysis-
Create one subsection per team member and use a philosopher studied in this
course and apply their ethical philosophy to this issue. Examples are
Aristotle, Augustine, Aquinas, Hobbs, Kant, Mills, Locke, Rand, and Ghandi.
Each subsection must use citations to show what is being applied and should be
1-2 pages in length.

Ethical Dilemma
Resolution- Models give us a “series of questions” to work through
when faced with an ethical dilemma. Choose either the Laura Nash method or the
Blanchard and Peale method and apply it is detail to create an ethical
resolution and apply it to the outcome of the issue.

Personal Ethical
Philosophy- Each student will provide 2-3 pages that explains their own
personal philosophy developed from the course (See the Week 7 discussion) and
also how it applied to the organizational ethical issue that is the subject of
this assignment. This should also contain a reflection on the course and how it
has impacted them personally.

Conclusion- The team
should wrap up with a conclusion that powerfully draws on what was learned in
this assignment and the ethical lessons to draw as a result.

A voicethread summary
will be created and submitted to the Week 8 discussion on Sunday or Monday or
Week 8. The team will submit the paper to the Week 7 submission box.
