Your analysis of this ethical dilemma should be based mainly on the theories you have learned in this class. Be sure to incorporate multiple theories into your analysis and highlight if and how the theories might differ in their interpretation of the ethicality of the issue. Your paper also should include a discussion of what analyzing this ethical dilemma has taught you about ethics.
The issue, which should be found in a substantial outlet, (e.g., Business Week, Newsweek, Time, Wall Street Journal if youre not sure what would be considered substantial, please ask me)must be relevant to the class, and have been published in the last three years.
