Business ethics
I will expect you to reflect critically on any current events that might be relevant to our subject matter, as well as your own views on the role of ethics in business.
Try to keep up with business issues by watching relevant programming on CNBC, PBS, CNN, etc.
Many movies focus on issues in business (Wall Street, Erin Brockovich, Promised Land, etc.). So, you could write about them, too. The same goes for television shows.
Check out the internet. Type in “business ethics” on your search engine, you should get plenty of hits.
Keep up with business issues in the Washington Post and Wall Street Journal. Also, check magazines like Fortune, Business Week, The Economist, etc.
Reflect on how you interact with business in your own day-to-day life at home, work, play, etc.

Please review the assigned materials for answering the questions below.

Below is an outline for guidance that can help in creating your outline project. In the past students get caught up in the sentence part of the assignment. I know the instructions say to have:
Full-sentence outlines are often accompanied by an APA reference list on a separate page. Quotes within the outline must also utilize in-text citations in the current APA format.
The intent is to provide a sentence or a quote to help outline a subject. For instance, if in your introduction you what to define change management. You can use a direct quote of what change management is but I’m not looking for your paper. An outline is to help you layout how you want to write your paper and keep your focus on the topic. Please do not stuff your paper into the outline, e.g., full paragraphs of quotes or your annotated bibliography.
