Слайд 13Coursework 2 - Essay
Task:
You must analyse an ethical issue in

an organisation (choose a case from list underneath).
Analysis means

you point out the controversy,
explain why the issue is controversial (why is it not straightforward right or wrong?),
identify arguments made,
evaluate the arguments made (what kind of argument is it, is it a good argument?).
This means that you will be approaching the issue from more than one position (stakeholder) and you will make use of more than one ethical perspective (in identifying and evaluating the arguments made).
End your essay with your personal position on the issue. Of course, you need to give arguments here as well.
Referencing is necessary – but academic references are optional.
Maximum 2500 words – Deadline 17 December 2010 3pm
