BP Oil Rig Explosion (this will be the topic)

In this paper, I would like you to develop an argument regarding either a contemporary (within the last five years) case relevant to business ethics or a general theme important to business ethics. The paper should identify and summarize the key ethical issues, using the ideas and vocabulary we discuss in class, and it should make a specific argument – i.e. “It is/is not ethical for Duke Energy to operate coal ash ponds because…” or “It is/is not ethical for American apparel companies to contract with factories in Bangladesh because…” You must consider the key points on both sides of the argument, but you must also make clear which side you think is right.

Your paper must be 1500-2000 words in length (no less, no more), it must develop a clear, central argument, and it must cite at least 4 scholarly sources. Be sure to cite your sources properly.
