Portfolio II.D: Writing - Applied Ethics Paper
Topic: The ethical issue you are doing your presentation on.
Due Date: Week 8 in final portfolio
Format: Use APA format (Title Page, Running Head, Abstract, In-text Parenthetical Citations, References). Do not plagiarize.
Length: 4-6 pages of text.
Sources: At least four scholarly articles
Evaluation: You will be evaluated on using the correct format and on how thoroughly the following sections are developed.
First Section: Describe your ethical issue/conflict in detail. The last sentence in your introduction should be where you identify the issue/conflict on which you will focus, as well as the two sides of the issue. (Remember, an issue/conflict must have two distinct sides. If only one side of a conflict is considered, either it is not a conflict or the writer is biased.)
Second Section: HISTORY: Give a brief but comprehensive history of the issue/conflict. Bring the reader "up to speed." Explain what has happened in the past and why the situation is still an issue/conflict today. Discuss the (particular) players/people involved, and their interests/feelings on the issue. Discuss real-life occurrences of this issue - then and now. Give specific, real-life examples. FUTURE: Why will this continue to be an issue/conflict in the future? Provide a timeline within your paragraph.
Third Section: Identify the factors, beliefs, feelings, situations, or issues regarding one side of the issue/conflict. This section should be a comprehensive overview.
Fourth Section: Identify the factors, beliefs, feelings, situations, or issues regarding the other side of the issue/conflict. This section should be a comprehensive overview.
Fifth Section: Conclude the paper with your educated thoughts and opinions regarding this issue and possible outcomes. This section should contain references to your reading and study concerning the issue and should be presented in a cogent, logical piece of writing.
Presentation/Paper: The research you do for your paper will augment your presentation to the class. See Presentations for presentation guidelines.
