Your Assignment:
Describe a situation in your work or personal life either experienced or witnessed in which a decision or action of moral gravity was made or taken. You may choose to write this to me or to any audience you specify (advice to a friend for example). You may write this in the third person or the first person whichever feels more right to you. This is your story so you need to tell it in a way that makes sense to you and so that your discussion is clear to your reader. Once you have described the situation please discuss your answers to the following questions:
What stakeholders were affected by the decision or action?
What would have been considered the right outcome? What would have been considered wrong? Why?
To what ethical principle or principles was the person (or persons) who made the decision or took the action possibly adhering? Do these match yours today? Why/why not?
What biases might have prevented the person (or persons) from making the best decision or taking the proper action?
If theres an organization (company institution employer) in the situation what might that organization have done to prevent and/or remedy the situation and ensure an ethical result?
(I didnt give this assignment a descriptive title because I know you will be able to give it a better one once youve written it)
Remember that this analysis paper will be graded according to the Analysis Paper 2 Rubric found in your syllabus and attached here on Blackboard for your reference. Remember to make liberal use of resources and include a reference section for the things you refer to. As always formatting is your choice and length itself is irrelevant; just be sure to check the prompt above and the rubric to be sure youve got the job done.
Happy writing! I look forward to reading what youve chosen to write about and how these moral dilemmas turned out
