Foundation of an Ethical Journey Essay

Foundation, Ethical, Journey, Essay

The final project will be a paper that should be the foundation of your ethical journey.  It will include identifying and expanding on various pillars of ethical practice which we have identified and elaborated on with each module.

Topics

• Awareness
• Trust and Integrity
• Caring Citizen
• Fairness
• Respect and Equity

Explore the five topics listed above individually, under separate headers.  Discuss its relationship to individual, professional and workplace ethics.  Each topic should be at a minimum of 1 page (and probably will be 2).  Resources should be properly incorporated and cited.  All resources should be scholarly.  This portion of the paper will account for half the grade.

Decision Making Tree

The second half of your project (and grade) has you creating an individual Ethical Decision-making Tree.  Each step of the decision making tree needs to include information about if yes/ then go here; if no/ then go to this section.

You should review a variety of business decision making trees before beginning the steps of your tree.  I have several Decision Making Trees and ideas listed in the file below this one (Decision Making Tree – Resources).  Please be sure to write about your process, and include a time to review, revise and adjust your decision making process based on results.

Decision Making Tree Resources

Here are some additional resources which may be beneficial to your final project.  You may also want to review some of the Additional Resources in Module 4.

APA Style

I realize the APA format may be new for some of you.  It is not meant to be confusing.  However, learning this style will help you in your academic endeavors.  If you have not purchased an APA Style book, there are numerous online resources readily available.

I am including links to 3 websites which are all excellent in providing information about the APA format.  These have a search option, so you can resolve specific issues (i.e., how do you cite a discussion post, etc.).

Hope you find these resources helpful.

APA Style this link provides quick search for a wide variety of topics as well as a tutorial for beginning (free).

OWL English from Purdue is always one of my favorite websites!  Lots of information.  Easy to use.

General Rules for APA format provides good general information about APA format and academic writing.  Also includes videos.

How Papers are Divided

Typically, your paper will have 4 sections:

• Title Page
• Abstract
• Body of Paper
• References Cited
