Term Papers: Discuss the context of personal and professional moral discourse.
Communicate effectively in the context of personal and professional moral discourse.
Communicates in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of professional communities.
In this unit, your only task is to begin thinking about the issues. From your own experience in the workplace—or from what you have learned about your field of specialization—describe three situations that might come up in your profession, each of which presents an ethical dilemma or calls for a thoughtful moral decision.
Describe each situation fully enough to expose the potential disagreements to which it is likely to give rise. Consider the alternative responses someone might make in such a situation and assess the strengths and weaknesses of each point of view. State your own position in contrast with (at least some of) these alternatives, and explain why you have adopted it.
You will return to these examples in Unit 10 with a more detailed defense of your own view, and you will be free to change your mind then if you choose.
