Final Paper
In this course, we look at classical ethical theories of
utilitarianism, deontology, and virtue ethics. We also examine
different perspectives on ethical issues introduced by
relativism, ethical egoism, and emotivism. For this paper, you
will apply these theories and perspectives to a current issue,
selected from the list of issues below.
Choose one of the ethical issues from the list below to research
and write about. It is recommended that you choose a topic that
you are familiar with or that you have thought about previously.
For example, you might choose an issue that either worries you
or enrages you, you might choose one that you have worked on,
or you might choose one that relates to recent events in your
community.
Possible Issues
Corporate executive compensation
Corporate contributions to political campaigns
Affirmative action
The media and its responsibilities
Domestic surveillance
Whistle blowing in government or in a business
Religion in the workplace
Pornography
Consumer tracking
Ethical problems of gambling
Progressive taxation rates
Immigration
Women’s equality
In your paper, you will apply the ethical theories and
perspectives to the issue that you select. You do not have to use
all six, but you should apply at least two ethical theories and at
least one ethical perspective in your paper. Make sure that you
write primarily on ethical topics and concepts; do not get
distracted by doing analyses that apply political, economic,
religious, or legal perspectives. Describe, compare, and apply
the ethical theories and perspectives to the topics. Explain how
the theories and perspectives would analyze the issue. What are
the ethical issues? Where are there breaches of ethical
behavior? How could each theory help us think about what
would constitute virtuous or ethical behavior?
The paper must be eight to ten pages in length (excluding title
and reference pages) and formatted according to APA style. You
must use at least five scholarly resources from the Ashford
University Library other than the textbook to support your
claims. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on
the reference page. For information regarding APA, including
samples and tutorials, visit the Ashford Writing Center, located
within the Learning Resources tab on the left navigation
toolbar.
