Description Identify and briefly describe an ethical issue that you are facing now in your own life. If you are not facing an ethical issue now, choose one you have faced within the last year. It can be related to your employment, a class situation, organized sports, a religious organization, etc. Be clear about the facts of the situation but keep your description of the dilemma brief. Your score is based largely on your analysis, not your storytelling. Use the limited space you must analyze your dilemma based on the material you read and listened to for this assignment. (Note: If your dilemma is unrelated to white-collar crime, you do not need to reference the audio you listened to in your Paper.) Using what you learned from the reading and audio, analyze your situation and dilemma. For example, consider the following: Are you facing an ethical dilemma or a moral temptation? if it is a moral temptation, find an ethical dilemma to analyze. Are you using rationalizations in dealing with the ethical issue you are facing? How would you apply perspective-taking in your situation? Is there someone you should talk with about the situation? If so, who is it and why did you choose this person? Have you talked with this person yet? If so, what came of the conversation? What can you do to protect yourself once you’ve decided to speak up about a potentially unethical situation? What is the best course of action to follow to deal with your ethical issue? What makes this the best course of action? What makes other courses of action less appealing? What have you learned that might change the way you would approach a similar ethical issue in the future? Required In This Paper Identify and briefly describe an ethical issue that you are facing now in your own life. (If you are not facing an ethical issue now, choose one you have faced within the last year.) Explicitly state your ethical dilemma. Be clear about the facts of the situation but keep your description of the dilemma brief. Most of your space in this paper must be used for your analysis of your ethical dilemma. Consider the ideas presented in the reading and audio. Use the tools and techniques presented to analyze your ethical dilemma. Your analysis must demonstrate your learning from the materials and your ability to apply that learning. Demonstrate that you have developed your understanding of your ethical dilemma by analyzing your own behavior, including your thought process, decision-making, and actions. If your dilemma is one you faced within the last year but is resolved now, explain how you would handle it today, including what you would do differently with your new insight. Objectives Develop and support critical thinking. Drive exploration and analysis of ideas and course themes. Organize your thoughts and structure your paper to communicate effectively. Develop communication skills for business. Provide structure and focus for class preparation that will support a good discussion in class. Demonstrate ethical awareness (the ability to identify moral or ethical issues and the inclination to apply moral reasoning and do something about them).
