Guidelines and Format
\nThe objective of this assignment is for you to relate the material from the textbook readings, videos, and course discussions to your life experiences.
\nFirst, develop a statement that encompasses an overall picture of your values and ethics. \u00a0Are your values based on family, health, achievements, wealth, job success, happiness, faith, love, or anything else that you hold in great esteem? \u00a0Think of your value statement as what defines you as a person. Describe your understanding of the origin of the values you hold important. \u00a0Try to describe your ethical beliefs. \u00a0If possible, offer a story to illustrate your ethical behavior. \u00a0Try to explain the roots of your ethical beliefs, where they came from, how you were influenced, whether any particular events in your life greatly impacted your beliefs. \u00a0Have your ethical beliefs undergone any major changes? \u00a0If so, describe what they were and why they changed.
\nSecond, drawing on the various ethical frameworks we have studied this term\u2014utilitarianism, deontology, etc\u2014explain your ethical perspective. \u00a0You do not need to limit yourself to one ethical framework and can draw from more than one. If you draw from more than one framework, you will need to explain your reasoning in your answer. \u00a0Be sure to reconcile any contradictions between these perspectives (for example, utilitarianism vs. virtue ethics). \u00a0Use the textbook as evidence in this section of your paper as a form of support.
\nAfter you have explained your ethical perspective, consider why and how you have adopted this perspective. \u00a0This section of the paper will ask you to think about your personal life and the way you were brought up in terms of a specific ethical framework or frameworks. \u00a0Explain why and how this framework was taught to you. \u00a0For example, you could use a deontological perspective to represent how a duty\/rule-based approach was used by your parents. \u00a0If you grew up in different places, if you are an immigrant or the child of immigrants, perhaps you were taught a different ethic in school than you were at home? If this was the case, how did you reconcile any ethical conflicts? \u00a0Which ethical framework do you draw on most as an adult and why? You do not need to answer all of these questions; however, you do want to present a nuanced, concrete discussion of your ethical perspective. \u00a0Be specific and explain the role of culture and the historical time period when thinking about the particular ethical framework was used in your education or upbringing.
\nLastly, conclude your paper. In your concluding paragraph, describe the person you are today and address the person you want to become. Are they the same person or different? \u00a0Why?
\nYour paper must have an APA-formatted title page. \u00a0The paper should be at least 1500 words in length (not including the cover page and references). \u00a0It should be grammatically sound and free of spelling errors. \u00a0You must integrate the ethical theories discussed in the readings and class. \u00a0Be sure to include in-text citations and a reference page for this material. \u00a0Outside sources are not required, but any use of such material must be cited.
