For this assignment, you will write a 3-5 page argumentative essay. You will choose from one of the<\/p>\n

writing prompts below. Each prompt asks a business ethics question. In your paper, you will take a<\/div>\n
position and argue for it using the skills and knowledge you have learned from the course. You<\/div>\n
should read \u201cA Brief Guide to Writing the Philosophy Paper\u201d to understand how to write<\/div>\n
an effective, \u201cA-worthy\u201d paper. <\/div>\n
\u2022 The paper should be no less than 3 pages and no greater than 5 pages. Your Works Cited<\/div>\n
page does not count as part of the page count.<\/div>\n
\u2022 You must cite at least two readings from the course. You can cite Spinello or one of the<\/div>\n
other PDFs we have read for this course. You may also cite articles from the website we have<\/div>\n
used, but you may not cite the website itself. Make your citations using a standard format<\/div>\n
(MLA, Chicago, etc.) and include a Works Cited page at the end. Do not cite any sources<\/div>\n
that haven\u2019t been assigned in the course.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Your thesis statement should be either the first or last sentence of the introductory<\/div>\n
paragraph; the choice is yours. Your thesis statement must start with the phrase, \u201cIn this<\/div>\n
paper\u2026\u201d See below for a few examples of a thesis statement.<\/div>\n
\u2022 Use proper spelling and grammar.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2. Is hiring wage labor exploitative? Is it unethical? Is it always exploitative\/unethical, or only<\/div>\n
under certain circumstances? Support your position.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Some of these writing prompts are straightforward, while others are somewhat broad. This is<\/div>\n
intentional: it leaves you some room to develop a unique thesis if you wish.<\/div>\n
For example, if you choose 1., your thesis statement will probably look something like this: \u201cIn this<\/div>\n
paper, I will make a [utilitarian\/Kantian\/etc.] argument against Milton Friedman\u2019s position that the<\/div>\n
only social responsibility of corporations is to maximize profits.\u201d Conversely, if you choose 3., your<\/div>\n
thesis statement might look like this: \u201cIn this paper, I will argue that advertising is manipulative,<\/div>\n
but not unethical.\u201d Or it might look like this: \u201cIn this paper, I will argue that advertising is<\/div>\n
manipulative, but it is only unethical when directed towards children.\u201d I am not saying you should<\/div>\n
copy one of these exactly; they\u2019re just here to give you an idea of what your thesis statement can look<\/div>\n
like depending on the prompt you choose. Just make sure that your thesis is on-topic and replies to<\/div>\n
the prompt.<\/div>\n
Remember: do not simply quote or rephrase an author\u2019s position and assert that it is right or wrong.<\/div>\n
You must support your argument with reasons, above and beyond the author\u2019s own reasons. That<\/div>\n
means you should be giving arguments, drawing analogies, coming up with examples (or counterexamples), and\/or offering objections.<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
