Analyze how ethical standards impact moral decision making.

Applied Ethics Essay

Instructions

This assignment is designed to help you begin work on your Applied Ethics Essay due in Week 9. In this assignment, you will create an outline of what you will be writing in your essay. An outline is a tool used to organize your thoughts. You do not need to flesh out all your ideas, but briefly state your ideas along with supporting details that you will use in your final essay.

Begin by reading through the cases included below these instructions (there are four to choose from). Select one that interests you, and choose one of the moral questions to respond to. Then, develop an outline that you will use to structure your final essay.

Your outline must include the following:

· Briefly state a clear position on the moral question presented.

· List relevant facts of the case.

· Identify clarifying concepts you will use to analyze the case.

· Describe an ethical standard pertinent to the case.

· Include at least four references with proper SWS citation and explain how the information in that reference is relevant to your position. At least two of these sources will be from your textbook and other course materials.

See  Sample Outline  for an example of how this might look.
