In each module, the textbook readings provide an opportunity to make connections between theoretical concepts of ethics and real-world events in the news. When individuals encounter current moral dilemmas, inevitably each will approach the issues with their own perceptions and biases. Understanding how individual views fit in with various world views provides an opportunity for each of us to understand ourselves better. In these activities, you will use critical thinking skills to expand your knowledge regarding current moral and ethical issues in the world. Each activity is a current news research activity focusing on understanding values, morals, and ethics. We will use the discussion forum as our platform; however, Current Events activities do not follow the discussion activity guidelines. The Current Events activity occurs in Modules 1 – 9. You are required to contribute to at least four of the nine modules. Although you are only required to contribute a post in four of the modules, do not procrastinate. You may not post the same contribution as another student, so it is best to start looking for material early in the module. Where applicable, properly document your citations and references (according to the current APA standard), and ensure your submission is plagiarism-free. Review the evaluation rubric for information about grading details. If you elect to skip this assignment for the module week, a zero will be entered into the gradebook. After all nine module weeks, the gradebook will automatically ignore these zeros when calculating your grade in this category. Please keep this information in mind when you check your grade throughout the course.

Imagine that you have been invited to the White House to chair a committee of senators who are charged with developing International Business Ethics Guidelines (IBEG) for the next 10 years. Choose 1 of the following issues: Human rights Political involvements by business Labor and production standards Briefly discuss the key ethical aspects of this issue, and develop an action plan that would lead people with different perspectives on these issues toward acceptable compromise and consensus. Remember that resolving ethics issues seldom requires deciding who is right and who is wrong. Rather, it usually requires identifying a grey area of commonality among a diverse set of perspectives and working to build consensus around shared ideas. Your action plan should reflect more than simply gathering all stakeholders and finding common ground; rather, it should detail the methods and processes that you will use, and the issues and concerns that you will need to consider as you strive to reach consensus on IBEG. For example, how will you identify stakeholders? How will you assign different weights to stakeholders? Are all stakeholders equal? What about stakeholders for whom there is no representative (e.g., wildlife, future generations, etc.)?

Your task is to write a paper (maximum length of two pages double spaced) that analyzes one of the following business ethical issues. You choose which issue to write about; in this assignment, reflect deeply on a topic that matters to you. Each scenario represents a conflict in an organizational setting. In addition to applying ethical reasoning and theories to your position, you must demonstrate how as a leader you would preserve the professional relationships in question and resolve the conflict. Option A: At a local restaurant a prominent politician has arrived and has been seated for dinner. Several of the serving staff are upset because they disagree with the politician’s political views. Some are requesting the manager on duty speak to the politician and ask him/or to leave. Explain what the manager should do in this situation and how they could resolve the conflict between the servers and the politician in the most ethical manner. Option B: A hiring manager has received a resume from a very promising candidate for a position that will involve working with a high performance team on a two year project. When the candidate arrives for the interview, the hiring manager notices that the candidate is pregnant. Upon learning that the candidate is pregnant, the other team members have asked the hiring manager to keep looking for a candidate who can “commit” to the project. Explain what the hiring manager should do in this situation and how they could resolve the conflict between the candidate and the other team members in the most ethical manner. Option C: A bank manager is faced with the difficult task of downsizing a department and must choose between two employees to let go. Both employees have similar performance records but the manager believes that Jill (age 30) has more potential than Jack (age 42). The manager has been told by the vice president that firing Jill would be safer since Jack’s age makes him in a “protected class” and there is a fear of litigation. Explain what the manager should do in this situation and how they could resolve the conflict between the manager and the vice president in the most ethical manner. With whichever option you choose, you must: Apply at least one ethical theory to support your position. Show how your decision would preserve the professional relationships in question and resolve the conflict in an ethical manner. It is not enough to name a theory; you must explain the theory and demonstrate how your position reflects the logic and reasoning of that theory. Remember that theory is the “why” behind your beliefs.

This paper should dig deep into Virtue ethics, utilitarianism, or deontology but choose 1 only  sources for paper http://www.iep.utm.edu/   and http://plato.stanford.edu Read the syllabus for the requirements before you upload it and make sure to upload it and not just save it as a draft.  Here is what I need you to understand now, it is an Ethics Research Paper.  First you need to pick one of the 4 main theories of Ethics we covered in class.      Here is what I am looking for in the thesis statement: https://www.kibin.com/essay-writing-blog/thesis-statement-examples/  (Links to an external site.) Don’t write, “Eating fast food is bad and should be avoided.” This statement is too general and would be nearly impossible for you to defend. It leaves a lot of big questions to answer. Is all fast food bad? Why is it bad? Who should avoid it? Why should anyone care? Do write, “Americans should eliminate the regular consumption of fast food because the fast food diet leads to preventable and expensive health issues, such as diabetes, obesity, and heart disease.” I hope you see the difference.  Give a great, specific thesis statement, to let me know exactly what you are going to talk about and what your main points are.
