PHIL 305 Business Ethics Spring 2013

1st Paper Due on March 8th Paper is DUE by 6 pm, please email paper to: [email protected] Write, PHIL 305 Relocation Paper in Subject header File should be a Microsoft Word file; name should be for EXAMPLE: JMUNOZ305 PAPERS: The pa pers will be a moral evaluation of cases. It sh ould be short, about 5 pages, double spaced, APA or MLA format acceptable. It is im perative that you CITE. Th is is t he most important aspect of writing a p aper. If y ou paraphrase from a book or journal article, you need to give me the citation from where you found the idea. If y ou quote, once again I need a citation. Similarly if you are simply alluding to a particular idea, I need a citation. I need a Bibliography at the end of the paper. Please use Internet resources as a last resource, and not as a main source of information. The main sources of information should be a) your book, b) books or journal articles related to the topic at hand, c) newspaper or magazine articles, and d) as a last re sort, internet resources. I do no t want a p aper to use prim arily and o nly Internet resources. If the p aper only uses Internet resources, it will lead to a decrease in grade (i.e. B+ as the highest grade). 1) The paper ought to begin first with explaining the case at hand:

a) It has to establish what is being asked of the agent to do b) Who is affected? c) What is the problem? d) In what ways is this morally problematic? e) What are possible future consequences of not doing the right act?

2) The paper ought to then provide a brief explanation of ea ch of the three major theories we have looked at and how each attempts to guide one’s moral actions:

a) Utilitarianism and the Principle of Utility b) Deontology and the Universalizability Principle, or t he Dignity of Persons Princ iple, or t he

Kingdom of Ends Principle (pick one principle and explain instead of explaining all three) c) Virtue and the right formation of Character

Make sure that you attend at least but not limited to the following concepts in explaining Section 2:

a) Utility b) Justice c) Consequences d) Rationality/Universalizibility/Kingdom of Ends/

a. Non-contradiction b. Consistency c. Coherency

e) Reasonableness/Dignity of Persons f) Rights/duties/Perfect/Imperfect/Positive/Negative g) Justice h) Moral and Intellectual Virtues i) Character j) Moral Intuitions

3) Finally: What do you think is the right act? What ought the agent do in this case?

a) You can pick from any of the t heories above or b orrow parts fro m all, or simply use th e theory you think provides the best answer.

b) Be sure t o tell me specifically why you think this is the morally permissible outcome and what you think the consequences will be to having picked that act as the right act.

I know that I am asking you to do many things at once in only 5-6 pages. That means that you have to really think about what needs to be stated carefully and to the point. Please no at length quotes.
