Ethics   and Moral Development

  

Prepare: In preparing for this discussion, you should first review   the Week Two required resources that focus on ethics and morals. This will   help assist you in examining your own development of ethical and moral   responsibilities.

 

Reflect: Take a deeper look at your own life and determine which   experiences have inspired ethical and moral reasoning. Were there any huge   influences in this process?

 

Write: For this discussion you will address the following   prompts: 

• Explain what it means to be ethical as it relates to        personal, academic, and professional growth.
• Provide at least one ethical dilemma you have        encountered and describe how the issue was resolved.
• Describe how your general education courses have        influenced your ethical values.
• Explain why a college-educated person might have        different duties to society than someone not as educated.

Your initial post should be at   least 250 words in length, which should include a thorough response to   each prompt. You are required to provide in-text citations of applicable   required reading materials and/or any other outside sources you use to   support your claims. Provide full reference information of all sources cited   at the end of your response. Please use correct APA format when writing in-text citations  and references. 

 

Respond to Peers: Review your classmates’ posts, and respond to at least   two of your peers by Day 7. In each response, provide comments that   prompt further critical thinking and insight on your classmate’s   perspective on ethical values as they relate to their personal, academic, and   professional lives. Each participation post should be a minimum of 75   words.
