Ethics and Contemporary Issues Project: Introduction, Background, and Ethical Challenges

Topic: Providing People with Disabilities Reasonable Accommodations in the Workplace

Compose the opening sections of your ethical response to the controversial issue you have chosen. This response should be organized as follows:

· Introduction: in 1 paragraph introduce the topic you have chosen.  This section may be similar to what you wrote at the beginning of the academic research assignment (file attached).  Tell the reader what your topic is, why you have chosen it, and why people should care about it.

· Background: in 1 paragraph, tell your reader about the history and context of your chosen topic.  What social, political, cultural, or technological factors have shaped attitudes toward this topic, and how have attitudes about this topic changed over time?  Why is this particular topic especially relevant today? CITE THIS PARAGRAPH - AT LEAST ONCE

· Ethical Challenges: In 1 paragraph outline the key ethical challenges raised by your chosen topic.  For purposes of this assignment, think of an ethical challenge as a problem with several possible solutions, none being perfect. You will simply focus on laying out the dilemmas your topic poses. THIS SENTENCE SHOULD POSE A 1-SENTENCE QUESTION THAT STATES THE ETHICAL DILEMMA FOR THE DECISION MAKER - IT IS THE "DAMINED IF I DO - DAMNED IF I DON'T"
