Create a 5 – 7 page paper (using MLA format) that addresses any one of the cases explored within the video:
Enron
VW
Wells Fargo
Massey Energy
Medicare Advantage
Uber
Structure:
1. Executive Summary – offer context and identify the ethical issue/tension found within this case for your one specific case. In short, what was the case and, most importantly, what was the ethical failure?
2. Ethical Analysis – using the video and at least two other sources, articulate the normative ethical theory most likely employed by the organization. You must apply a normative theory (see chapter 2) in your analysis of the case. Did the moral decisions and actions reflect a stakeholder or shareholder perspective? You will need to cite in support of your position here! Suggestion – use the normative theory assigned to you (if possible) through the SDU as the basis for your normative ethical analysis.
3. Lessons Learned – reflect upon the case and offer at least three meaningful ethical lessons or “take-aways” for organizations. How can organizations learn from the issue and, specifically, what can organizations do (or avoid) to navigate ethical crises more successfully than the company under scrutiny?

In her essay “The Sovereignty of Good Over Other Concepts,” Iris Murdoch offers

In her essay “The Sovereignty of Good Over Other Concepts,” Iris Murdoch offers an overview of ethical philosophy and argues that “Goodness is connected with the acceptance of real death and real chance and real transience and only against the background of this acceptance, which is psychologically so difficult, can we understand the full extent of what virtue is like.  The acceptance of death is an acceptance of our own nothingness, which is an automatic spur to our concern with what is not ourselves.” Evaluate Murdoch’s statement in concert with the ethical theories we have discussed this semester, especially Aristotle’s account of virtue as it relates to happiness.  Does Murdoch offer anything new here?  Do death and contingency figure at all into Aristotle’s moral calculus?  Finally, what do you draw from Murdoch’s statement?  What would an acceptance of death and contingency even look like? 
Answer these questions in an essay that is two-three pages, drawing specifically on and quoting at least one philosopher we covered in this class.

Initial Post Instructions
The study of ethics and philosophy is one that brings many different kinds of “thinkers” together. One person’s philosophy on ethics is another person’s philosophy on evil. We will be working this term on constructing personal ethical bases and understanding how ethical codes (both personal and professional) are created and followed.
To start us thinking about the different areas of philosophy and ethics, and how we fit into the different molds or world views, let’s imagine the following scenario:
It is 2019. The federal law banning female circumcision is still under appeal in the courts. You are a nurse assisting a plastic surgeon at a local hospital. The plastic surgeon comes from a country where they practice “female circumcision”. This practice is also sometimes called “female genital mutilation”.
You are not a member of the doctor’s culture but reside in a state where this practice is still legal. The plastic surgeon has agreed to perform this practice on a young girl, the daughter of a friend of the surgeon. The friend has authorized the procedure. The girl only knows this is a custom. You did not know that today you would be asked to assist in this procedure. You can refuse to participate (your job may be on the line in the future due to that decision). Or you can assist the surgeon. What ought you to do? We now want to examine the ethical issues involved. To do this, let’s look at the role of relativism, moral truths, and other issues.
For the initial post, address the following questions:
·     What would a subjective moral relativist say about what this doctor is doing? Do you agree with the subjective moral relativist? Why or why not?
·     Examine what a cultural moral relativist would say here. Do you agree with the cultural relativist? Why or why not?
·     Name and evaluate general criticisms of cultural relativism as being the wrong moral approach.
·     Is there an objective moral truth about any of the possible actions by the nurse and/or doctor in this case? Why or why not?
Writing Requirements
·     Minimum of 2 sources cited outside scholarly source)
·     APA format for in-text citations and list of references

Content: For this reflection essay you will be taking any idea(s) within a particular week of class and reflecting on how it could be used to inform, shape, and enrich your day to day moral life, the lives of those around you, and the world at large. It’s best not to choose more than 3 ideas, ideas that you can demonstrate are deeply related to each other. This will allow you to give a more sustained discussion of fewer ideas than to only briefly discuss a greater number of ideas. To successfully do this you will need do the following in the given order.
You first body paragraphs need to thoroughly define and analyze the idea(s) you have chosen as objectively as possible. This is a demonstration you understand the ideas in there own terms. Take time to define the ideas from a number of angles and use a number of concrete examples, hypothetical or otherwise.
Only after  you have analyzed the ideas in this way should you spend the rest of your essay reflecting on the ways you could use them to inform, shape, and enrich your day to day life and/or the lives of those around you.
Form: This final essay should be no less than 5 pages (double spaced, 1 inch margins, 12 pt. font, Times New Roman). You will need to abide by proper English grammar, and, while this is a more personal reflection, you will need to avoid language that is too informal (e.g. slang).
Topics for Reflection Paper 1: You can draw from readings or lectures, and you are not required to bring in other scholarly articles or literature into the reflection. Any secondary sources must be cited in proper MLA format and will be graded accordingly. For this paper you can only use ideas that were discussed in one of the following topics: I’m doing Judeo-Christianity
