Ethics
Case Analysis Assignment
last updated 1/29/2014
This assignment requires you to analyze the ethics case you selected or were assigned. You will summarize and submit your analysis in a written report. Remember, the primary issue to look at is communication ethics. You should focus on what should be done by those you have identified as "responsible for ethical action. (What is or is not legal isn't the point.) In analyzing the case you were assigned, use the "McGaan Box" method.
· Second: Conflicts and Values. Describe ALL values (categories of good and bad, right and wrong) that seem relevant to the decision making situation. Identify conflicts between values and/or duties, goals, needs.
WRITTEN ANALYSIS REPORT: This report must be no longer than 6 pages, double-spaced. The written report should be organized with the same four steps as the described above in the "McGaan box" method: 1) definition, 2) conflicts and values, 3) traditions and principles, 4) decision. (Be sure to put your name, the course, presentation date, and case title and number at the top of the first page. Be sure your paper has four distinct sections, each numbered and labeled. In EVALUATING your written analysis, I will want to see if it is clear and concise. Do you deal with the appropriate issues and raise logical values and principles? I will be especially concerned with how well you link your decision to one of the traditions we discussed in class. The quality of your writing as well as how effectively you demonstrate your understanding of ethics and the analysis process is the primary focus of the grade for the written part of the assignment. (This grade is about content, analysis and writing!) Of course, mechanics will be considered.
