Defend Your Stand in an Ethical Debate
As you are probably aware, people seldom fully agree on any one topic. Even ethical dilemmas
can have multiple points of view. For example, should an organization grow its business, even
though it may adversely affect the surrounding community? Unfortunately, even though a
decision may not be easy, you will have to decide. However, how do you make that decision?
Open, effective communication is a good way to start. This week, you will explore your own
ethical dilemma and choose a side to defend.
Utilizing a topic of your choice from the list below, take a stand on one side of an ethical issue in
business. You will defend your position in a short, clear, and succinct white paper. When
choosing your topic, look outside of your comfort zone. Find a topic that you may not naturally
agree with and argue to the contrary of your actual ethical beliefs.
