EthicsPaper.docx
Your assignment is to write an Ethics Paper on the following topic:
Should a corporate organization terminate an employee with social media details or images that could hurt the organization's image?
To help guide your thought process for your ethics paper, you may think about the following ideas:
· Consider the policies that organizations put in place regarding social media. Do these policies differ depending on the organization? For example, how does social media affect governmental organizations differently from public service organizations?
· How do employees respond to more strict policies compared to loose policies? How does social media affect job satisfaction?
· How does social media affect employee motivation? Should an organization encourage or discourage employees from using social media to spur more business or recruit more clients?
Ethics Paper specifics:
· Your Ethics Paper should be a maximum of 4 pages. Including the title and references pages, your paper will likely be around 6 pages long.
· I want you to personally reflect on this issue objectively and critically. Add personal examples and anecdotes from your professional experiences as you view necessary.
· I expect you to take an enlightened stance on this issue and defend your point-of-view through your research. Please reference at least five scholarly references where appropriate.
· Be reminded, there is no right or wrong perspective here. Therefore, this paper should be an original representation of your scholarly ability.
· Please be sure to include concepts that we discussed in class over the last few weeks within your paper.
Ethics Paper formatting specifications:
· The paper must be formatted in proper APA formatting.

Tips on Writing a Reflection Paper
A reflection paper can be written on an assigned piece of reading, a lecture or an
experience, such as an internship, observation, or volunteer experience. For the most part,
a reflection paper cites your reactions, feelings and analysis of an experience in a more
personal way than in a formal research or analytical essay; however, it is not a book
report.
When writing a reflection paper on literature or another experience, the point is to
include your thoughts and reactions to the reading or experience. You can present what
you observed (objective discussion) and how what you experienced or saw made you feel
and explain why (subjective discussion). You also can use a reflection paper to analyze
what you have experienced (what worked well and what didn’t, what was fair or unfair,
what was effective or ineffective, why). Like any other paper or essay, it should be
cohesive and refer directly to the specific objective experience you had or something you
observed and then explain how this experience inspired the feelings you are feeling or
helped you make a critical (not necessarily negative, but just concrete and thoughtful)
analysis of what you read or saw. This is not a book report, which just recounts what you
read or saw or experienced. It is much more important that you focus on what you
learned from that reading or experience and how you would incorporate what you took
away into the way you view or do things in the future. You can include personal
experience in a reflection paper, but do not depend on it; base your reactions and
reflections on the material that is your subject.
Do not use a reflection paper simply to summarize what you have read or done.
Also, a reflection paper should not be a free flow of ideas and thoughts. This is not a free
write. The idea of a reflection paper is to write an organized essay describing your
reactions and analysis to a reading or other experience; however, it is more formal than a
journal entry, so leave out informal language and form. Leave out contractions, IM-ing
language and colloquial terms, for example, yeah, it was awesome. Consider the
standards necessary for a college essay as you used in College Composition.
A reflection paper should be as organized as any other type of formal essay. Include
an introduction, perhaps one that describes your expectations before the reading or the
experience. The easiest way to keep a reflection paper focused and organized is to create a
thesis statement as your last statement of the first paragraph. For example, you may start
with a paragraph (usually 5-12 sentences) describing a classroom visitation experience.
You may describe how the classroom looked, what was hanging on the walls, how the
desks, chairs, manipulatives, etc. were organized, where the teacher desk was located, how
much light there was in the classroom, etc. Then you make a thesis statement about the
physical aspects of the classroom (if that was your assignment). A thesis statement for
this example might say, “Because of the disorganized chaos of the classroom, students
might not learn the necessary organization skills they should have established by the
conclusion of first grade.” You’d then have to back that thesis statement up with
examples of kids not being organized, the teacher lessons not being organized, and the
layout of the classroom not being organized. Or you might say, “Since everything in the
classroom had a specific function and location, students learned to organize their
materials, their thinking, and themselves.” You’d have to support that thesis by backing it
up with examples of how the students knew where everything went, put things back into
place when finished, etc. The body of your paper should explain the conclusions you have
come to and why, basing your conclusions on concrete details from your reading or
experience.
End the paper with a conclusion that sums up what you got from the reading or
experience. You might want to refer to your conclusions in relation to your expectations
you had before the reading or experience or come to some other conclusion or analysis
about the text or experience in light of your feelings and reactions. You may also want
to explain how this reading or experience will change your actions in the future.
