Case Study Of Professional Ethics
Instructions Choose a case from the ones given in the Case Studies for Assignment 1 link on the course home page. Drawing on the course material, analyze the case you have chosen by following the Case Study Analysis steps in the Course Information. You may wish to review the discussion on Case 2.1 in Unit 2 to see how an ethical theory might apply to a case, which may give you some ideas for your own case. Your goal is to provide an analysis that would defend a resolution that is the most satisfactory from a moral perspective. The strategy is to discuss, evaluate, and compare the pros and cons of each different possible resolution by examining considerations that have bearing on determining which resolution is best from an ethical point of view. Your justification should be sufficiently detailed and free of logical errors. It must clearly demonstrate that the resolution you have chosen is the best option, from an ethical perspective, for the key individual of the case. You are not permitted to write on the same ethical issue for both the case study analysis and the philosophy research paper. You are not required to conduct research outside of the course material for this assignment, but any material that you use from other sources, including the course material, must be properly cited and referenced. The grading scheme below will be applied to your case study analysis. Note that this grading scheme does not reflect all grading considerations, such as those pertaining to your overall organizational structure or the mechanics of your writing. For a general guideline of how these considerations may affect evaluations of your work, see the Grading Policy section in the Course Information.
