You will write a paper on your choice of one of the ethical issues listed by your instructor (see below). Discuss your perspective on the issue, supporting your arguments with the ethical thinking of one or more of the philosophers covered in this course.
The essay must be 5 to 6 pages in length, typed, double-spaced, 12 point Times New Roman or Arial font. APA or MLA format may be used. The pages must have 1-inch margins all around. Cover and sources pages do not count as the body of the 5 to 6 page essay.
Use at least FOUR sources; two sources must be accessed from the Ivy Tech Virtual Library. The textbook or Web materials may be cited as sources, but please do not cite Wikipedia or similar information sites (such as Ask.com or About.com). These are not academic sources.
The essay is worth 100 points.
