Ethical Issues CODE OF ETHICS
Introduction: For our final paper I want us to think about our own values and ethics, and compare them with the code of ethics of your present or future profession. To do this we’ll write a two-part paper. In the first part, we will outline our own Personal Code of Ethics by following the instructions below. In the second part, we will summarize or attach a copy of the Code of Ethics of our profession, analyze it for its strengths and weaknesses, and then apply the professional Code of Ethics to a case study in that profession. Follow these instructions precisely and completely in writing your paper!\
A. My Personal Code of Ethics
1. Core Values: Create a list of your core values; that is, a priority of what you value most in life and explain why each is a value in your life. For example, family: My family gives me strength and comfort, etc. Career: I love to realize my potential in a field of work that I find interesting and challenging. Spiritual: I have reverence for others and all life.
2. Moral Character & Principles: Do I think I have good moral character? Answer this question by including your idea of integrity, the virtues that you aspire to and practice, and the moral principles or ethical theorythat you try to follow. For example, you may try to practice honesty, fairness, kindness, courage and friendliness in your life. And you also may hold the principles of trying to produce the greatest good for the greatest number or doing the right thing based on what you think all persons should do in the same situation.
3. The Value of Ethics in My Life: What is the value of ethics in your life? That is, do you think you could live a happy life without trying to be ethical? Why or why not? Explain. Give examples.
B. A Professional Code of Ethics
1. Choose aCode of Ethics from your area of interest in your present work or
future career, and either summarize this (if it is simply a list of goals and
aspirations) or attach a copy to your paper. The attachment does not count towards the page length.
2Analyze the Code of Ethicsyou have chosen to determine what you think are its strengths and weaknesses. Explain why for both.
2. Choose a case study from your workplace or future profession and apply your Personal and Professional Code of Ethics to this case to help you determine what you think is the right ethical decision and right thing to do. Follow the “ABCD Guideline to Ethical Decision Making” in doing so.Case study link: http://www.scu.edu/r/ethics-center/ethicsblog/business-ethics-news/19605/PayPal:-Should-Executives-be-Allowed-to-be-on-Social-Media?
Length: Your paper should be from 6 pages double spaced, but you may write more if you like.
Research: Please research your topic(s) adequately, but remember that you must cite your sources. Failure to cite sources is considered plagiarism. I encourage you to use the Langsdale library for sources, as well as class readings to support your thoughts, ideas and positions. Be careful using Internet sourced material in which the source cannot be authenticated. (Please refer to the “Guidelines to Follow” section for details below). NOTE: DO NOT USE WIKIPEDIA – I do not consider this a credible source.
I run all papers through a program called “Turn-it-in”, which searches the Internet looking for similar paragraphs, or more plainly put, plagiarism.
Arguments: Be sure to support your arguments / position on a topic. Do not rely on “ready made” arguments that you may find in your research. This too is considered plagiarism, if it is not cited. Put your arguments in your ownwords. This is much more valuable to you and to me than trying to borrow language from the Internet, etc. But using outside sources to support your arguments / positions is encouraged.
Guidelines to Follow:
Code of Ethics Paper is to be written in a formal essay format. I am not too picking on the style the paper is created in, but I have a preference for APA.
For information on APA, Purdue University has a nice tutorial at: http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/
ALL papers must be atleast5 full pages, double-spaced, typed, and in 12pt. Times New Roman font and in proper essay format. All papers must include a cover page. THE COVER PAGE IS NOT INCLUDED IN THE PAGE COUNT! Your paper needs to have introduction, body, and conclusion. Do not copy/paste the case study or summarize the entire case study to take up space. Do not bullet or number your responses. You can also use the ABCD Guide to Ethical Decision Making to assist you. Submit papers in Microsoft word only!!!
I will be looking for the following criteria to be met:
1)That the paper does not exceed 12 double spaced pages and it is at least a minimum of 6 pages long, not counting cover or reference pages.
2)Your essay should be typed, double-spaced on standard-sized paper (8.5″ x 11″) with 1″ margins on all sides. APA recommends using 12 pt. Times New Roman font. You will submit the paper in Sakai Assignment Folder in an electronic format. Emailed assignments will not be accepted.
3)It should have a cover page with a title, your name and course number on it.
4)An abstract is not required.
5)A reference page is, and the proper use of references throughout the paper is also required
