ETHICAL SCENARIO

NSEC 502

Ethical Scenario Paper Assignment Instructions

Overview

The Ethical Scenario Paper Assignments (2) deal with practical ethical decision-making information and the application of that information using a template to help you with procedures in ethical decision making. This template and the “ETHICS” Decision Making Model does not automatically generate right answers for the right reason. It is a tool—just a tool. The first scenario paper is not exceptionally hard. This was done so you can focus on a different way of thinking regarding ethical decision making—one that is more intentionally from a Christian worldview. The second scenario is more difficult and requires the student to solve multiple dilemmas. Your textbooks and module materials provide additional justification for the importance of assignments discussed herein.
