The purpose of the LAWS420 Course Project is to provide you
with a practical view of the ethical dilemmas that you are likely to encounter
as you pursue your chosen career path. Whether you become a health
professional, an accountant, an attorney, a small business owner, or a software
engineer, you will be faced with ethical questions, both large and small, on a
regular basis. With this assignment, you have an opportunity to begin to
consider what you will do when you are faced with these issues. This assignment
is due in Week 6 and is to be submitted to the course.
Begin this assignment by selecting a profession, preferably
one in which you currently work or one in which you plan to pursue in the
future. If your career track is one that leads you to become an entrepreneur, a
small business owner, or a manager in a large corporation, please include an
explanation of that business in which you now work or anticipate working in the
future.
If it is a profession, describe what makes it a profession
(this would include required education, licensing, organizational membership,
continuing education, etc.). Locate the licensing regulations and ethical codes
and standards of conduct that apply to this profession. Determine how these are
enforced for this profession.
If it is a business that is licensed by the government
and/or regulated by a trade or business organization (whether mandatory or
voluntary), describe the ethical standards that are found in these licensing
regulations and business organizations. Feel free to use such groups as the
Better Business Bureau or Chamber of Commerce to discover ethical guidelines
that might apply to your business.
As with the professions, locate the licensing regulations
(if any), codes, and/or standards, and determine how these are enforced.
Provide a list of four current ethical dilemmas facing this
career field. These can arise from changing technology, an ongoing and
unresolved ethical dilemma, or one based on a controversial business or
professional policy or practice. For each current ethical dilemma, provide a
different article that addresses the dilemma. Use the DeVry University Library
online at http://library.devry.edu (Links to an external site.)Links to an
external site.to research and select your articles (consider EBSCOhost or
LEXIS-NEXIS). Do not use Google or other non-academic search engines or
articles from sources such as Wikipedia.
The body of your paper will be divided into four sections;
one section for each of the four ethical dilemmas. Each section will begin with
one paragraph devoted to a description of one of the ethical dilemmas. After
this description, explain how you would go about deciding what you should do,
supporting your position using (1)one or more theories of ethics found in our
textbook and (2) a minimum of one article from your research.
Be sure to review the Guidelines section for specifics about
the length, style, and format requirements of this Course Project paper.
