BUSINESS LAW

Unit 1: Individual Paper Description

Introduction

Each student will identify an ethical dilemma facing a business in their immediate area and write a research paper.  If you can’t find a topic from the metro area, it can be in the state you live in, or Country if you live outside the United States. An example if you live in Tanzania might be “Mining tanzanite – environmental implications”. An example that’s NOT business related (and not appropriate topic): “Is ‘ghosting’ someone while online dating ethical?”.

Deliverables

Unit 3 (30 points) - In Unit 3 an outline of your paper is due that should include the topic and business, proximity to where you live, legal issue(s) identified, and sources you will be using.

Unit 6 (150 points) - Paper should be 15-20 pp in length, double spaced and submitted in one Word document with clear titles, paragraph structure and proper grammar. Gather information from multiple sources and provide a brief background or summary of the facts. Always cite any paraphrasing and quotes from your textbook, lecture, or other sources. Apply the concepts we’ve studied through Unit 6 and the briefing skills you’ve been practicing to identify the ethical issues presented and discuss. Discuss both sides of the issue before reaching a conclusion, and justify your conclusion and how you arrived at that opinion.
