Ethics Assignment 1

Paper CE: Analysis of a Current Events article.

The purpose of this assignment is to analyze a current events article (i.e., only one) that you may choose from any online current periodical, trade magazine, or other electronic publication about a global digital ethical issue. While this assignment will increase your knowledge in that subject area from a corporation viewpoint and enable you to analyze digital ethical issues of a current GLOBAL situation or event, it will also help enhance your research and writing skills, as well as your critical-thinking abilities.

You start by selecting one current IT related online article (2015 sources or later) about a global ethical issue. You will want to note that this assignment is not a general essay about the topic selected, it must be about the current event article selected. In addition, while articles from journals may be of interest, they are ultimately too long and involved for this assignment – it is best to find an article from the World Wide Web.  Provide the source citation that is in compliance with the American Psychological Association (APA) formatting rules, as well as the persistent URL that is clickable (one that anyone can click on to re-access the original article).

The following elements must be addressed:

• Summarize the whole article by all of its key or salient points. It may help if you use bullets to note the salient points of the article, as you read through it. A summary is desired, not just the “thrust’ of the article.
• Analyze the multi-national and global aspects of the article – what is the impact or what is the importance of the information in the article?
• Determine three critically important questions you would like to address to the author regarding the article – you are not expected to answer the questions!
