Final Paper

Class,

As this is a research paper, please include an abstract. Although an abstract is typically shorter than one-half a page of typed material, it still counts as one full page of the 11 to 15 that you have to write. Remember the title page and reference page do not count in your overall page count. Do not go over the page limit as points will be deducted for doing this.

Please organize your paper and use headings and subheadings. Here is an example of what your headings and subheadings can be (See outline of headings and subheadings below) that will hopefully help you meet the grading rubric with no problem. Of course you will need to fill in the blanks with the language according to your topic. For instance, you would not write in your paper “Ethical Theory Two and Its Outcome.” However, you might write “Deontology and Its Outcome” if that is a theory you are using:

A BUSINESS SITUATION THAT PRESENTS A LEGAL AND ETHICAL ISSUE

(Be detailed in discussing “how” this particular business situation is both a legal and ethical issue. Do not write more than two pages on this section which will give us the “background” of your situation.)

A.The Legal Issue

B.The Ethical Issue

i.Ethical Theory One and Its Outcome

ii.Ethical Theory Two and Its Outcome

iii.Best Ethical Theory Between One and Two Above

C.Relevant Areas of Law to the Issue (e.g., constitutional law, contracts, anti-trust law, securities regulations, employment law, environmental law, crimes, or torts) Fully discuss how each one applies.

i.Area One

ii.Area Two

iii.Area Three

D.How to reduce liability exposure and improve the ethical climate

E.The overall ethics of the situation

Use 6^th Edition APA Format. Please know that I will be using TurnitIn to make sure you are submitting your own work. Do not attempt to plagiarize! Do your best.

Good Luck!
