Final Project
Dear Students:
You have two options to choose from for the final project. It is due Sunday, June 23 by midnight.
I would prefer that you do option 2. Unless you are a stellar writer, students usually get better grades doing the group project (option 2). Further, the survey you take highlighting your participation in the group usually adds points.
OPTION 1: ETHICAL FRAMEWORK PAPER
In a 10 page paper, double spaced, 1-inch margins, size12 font, construct your own integrated framework (method) for resolving ethical dilemmas in your personal and professional life. This is not a group project.
2 of the 10 pages must include a properly formatted Annotated Bibliography (go on YouTube for examples) that includes five scholarly sources using Regis Library databases. Use your school’s required format (APA, MLA, Chicago, etc).
You must use Ruggiero (chapters 7-10) and two other theories.
Each of the three theories must be rigorously described and explained
Then you must demonstrate that they can be integrated into one unified framework for making ethical decisions and judgments.
For example, you could use Ruggiero’s four steps (ch. 7) and Lonergan’s operations of consciousness. Then you could show how people in different orders of consciousness (Kegan) would understand and use the steps.
Another example would be to use Ruggiero’s three basic criteria and show how each is understood differently depending on what order of consciousness one is in. Then you could show how Lonergan’s theory would apply.
