Business Ethic (Specific) Example: Compare corporate vs corporate based on their ethic practive
Choose a topic you’d like to investigate that falls within the general topics of business ethics; global economic ethics; and capital punishment. Find an article related to your topic using the research tools available through the Hackelmeier Library page on the Marian website. Do NOT use Google. Remember that you are looking only at articles that have scholarly content. If you need guidance on how to get started with your research or help discerning what qualifies as scholarly content, come see me. But if you go through the library site, the sources you access there should be sufficiently scholarly.
You might also want to look at the “EndNotes” section after each chapter in Zalot & Guevin and the “Additional Resources” sections of Stivers to find a topic.
Then, using the foundations for moral theology that we have studied, analyze your topic from the perspective of the principles of moral theology. Use materials from the class or do some additional research on the principle. Remember to look at how our texts use the foundations and principles to analyze the moral issues. This can be helpful to you, too.
Once you have found your topic, read the article you’ve selected and think about which foundational principles you are going to use (e.g. biblical/theological principles or Catholic Social Teaching principles); then follow the steps below in thinking through and crafting your paper.
Guidelines for your paper
What is the moral issue you are examining? This is the problem you are investigating.
What is going on in the case you are evaluating? What are some relevant facts to be considered? This section is where you provide background on the problem you are addressing.
What principles of moral theology are relevant to this issue and helpful in resolving it? Explain the biblical or theological foundations of the principle and then explain how the principle(s) apply to the issue. This is the methodology you are using to resolve the issue.
The above guideline is where I am looking for you to demonstrate your theological literacy and that you are able to employ theological resources and methods in a paper.
In conclusion, state what you think the appropriate response to the case study would be for a practicing Christian. Then state how you personally would resolve the case.
General Guidelines
The usual expectations with regard to written work are in force. If you use information from any of our textbooks or readings or from other sources, you must PARAPHRASE and you must cite the source from which you have paraphrased using Chicago style. All quotes from the texts or other sources must be cited and a works cited list or bibliography must be included or you are at risk of receiving a ZERO (0) on this assignment. That means using quotation marks when needed, paraphrasing as appropriate, and providing citations (including page numbers) in the body of the text and a REFERENCE/WORKS CITED list at the end. You do not need quotation marks when you paraphrase but you must cite the source. You must cite all ideas that come from the authors of any materials you use – not just quotes from the text. If ideas and quotes come from the same page, you can put the citation at the end of the paragraph.
