Term paper proposal
You will submit a Proposal outlining the theme and related problems to be addressed in his/her final term paper.
This Proposal should be approximately three (3) pages in length and identify the organization or industry to be profiled in the term paper, the ethical problems to be examined in relation to this profile and a preliminary identification of some course and/or research materials that will be helpful in an analysis of the ethical problems.
In addition, one page of the Proposal should be a reference list of books, peer reviewed articles, news stories or publications from professional organizations relevant to the term paper
This paper affords you the opportunity to apply the concepts, principles, and themes from the course. For your term paper you may critically examine an ethical issue facing your organization or industry.
You should consider what ethical issues your organization and/or industry faces as well as any ethically significant actions that have been taken.
Assess the strengths and weaknesses of your organization and/or industry relative to the standards considered during the course. Make recommendations for changes within your organization which would reflect a more ethical and socially responsible approach to the issue.
Alternatively, you may write a paper that considers a contemporary ethical issue of particular interest to you that may or may not be related to your organization or industry.
Examples for such a project include, but are not limited to, human resource management, downsizing, affirmative action, managing conflicts of interest, consumer privacy in e-commerce, or the outsourcing of labor to foreign countries.
Additional research is expected (at least 5 sources from a combination of monographs, referred journals and/or publications from professional organizations) and a References page should be attached.
This paper will be evaluated with respect to its clarity, organization, use of course materials, documentation provided by outside research, quality of argumentation and proper use of language.
