This paper should be 5+ pages in length.
TOPIC:
For this paper I want you to select and research a topic in
engineering that you think is amenable to ethical analysis. Then
I want you to develop a moral argument in which you defend
your position concerning the topic that you have selected.
In your paper I expect you to:
1) Briefly explain the engineering topic that you are examining.
2) Give an well-reasoned and persuasive moral argument in
which you present and defend your own position. You may want
to make use of the ethical theory that you researched in Paper 1
when developing this argument.
You should make use of at least 5 additional high-quality
sources in writing this paper.
Also, keep in mind that this is an ethics course, so the core of
your paper should be devoted to developing a moral argument in

3. support of your position. I am not grading you based on your
opinion, but on the reasoning and argumentation that you give
in support of your opinion. The better and more persuasive your
argument, the better your grade will be.
GRADING CRITERIA:
I will be grading this assignment according to four criteria.
These criteria are:
1) Content- 50% of grade: This section of the grade will reflect
the quality of your argumentation and the depth of your
understanding of the material. The better your arguments and
the more in depth your presentation of the material, the better
your grade will be
2) Citation- 10% of grade: You MUST cite the text in your
answers. If you say that Kant claims that Toad is best character
to play in the levels that involve a lot of digging in Mario 2,
show me where in the text he says this. You can choose to
either just reference where in the text it appears or you can
quote the portion of the text that is relevant to your answer
(with page numbers of course). I encourage you to quote where
it makes sense, but if you quote make sure to explain what that
quotation means in your own words. And of course plagiarism
results in a failure of the course.
3) Spelling and grammar- 20% of grade: Reading with a peper
shitty spealling and grammer it not very 3nj0y4b13.
4) Structure and presentation- 20% of grade: Is the structure of
your paper clear? Does the organization of the sentences and
paragraphs make sense or does it look like you just threw a
bunch of random comments together? Do your arguments and
analysis make sense?
NOTE: Poor presentation (whether through bad writing,
structure, or even formatting) can obscure the content of your
work to the extent that in certain cases what you are trying to
communicate is unintelligible to the reader. I should not have to

4. read a sentence or a paragraph three or four times to understand
it. As a writer it is your responsibility to communicate your
ideas as effectively and clearly as possible. As the person
reading and grading your assignment, it is not my responsibly to
make an excessive effort to understand the meaning of what you
are trying to communicate to me when you have not taken the
time to articulate and present your work in a clear fashion.
There are 3 main articles which you have to integrate those 3
articles in one topic.
Topics selections are:
a. Language
b. Culture
c. Communication
d. Collaboration

companies
For example:
Thesis Statement: ___CULTURE________ +Controlling Idea
(What do you want us to know about Culture in terms of
communication. It cannot be just like <`culture is important for
communication`> It has to be an Original idea. )
Purpose: This paper will examine the disadvantages in order to
inform……….
or
This paper will examine the advantages in order to
persuade…….. (Chose one of them disadvantages or
advantages. If you chose disadvantages and talk about the

5. disadvantages, the worse disadvantages and the worst
disadvantages. Or talk If you chose advantages then talk about
advantages, good advantages and the best advantages.)
However this approach has many disadvantages. This paper will
inform you of the disadvantages in adopting one culture in order
to avoid this conflict. Or This paper will inform you of the
