Business Law Question

This is a paper for my business law class, please follow all instructions and don’t plagiarize, no paraphrasing and no use for artificial intelligence. As the professor will pick up on it. Cite everything you use.

Final Project
During the course of this semester, you have learned classical ethical theories, including the
Friedman Doctrine (also known as “free market ethics,” or “business ethics”), Utilitarianism,
Deontology, Virtue Ethics, the Ethic of Care, and Corporate Social Responsibility. The theories
are described and explained in the Chapter 1 “ethical toolkit” and through resources posted on
our web site. Throughout the semester, you have been applying these ethical theories to different
topics, in online discussions and through cases and scenarios that highlight the challenges facing
businesses and leaders. In this process, your discussions have noted that these classical ethical
theories are useful in many instances but also not entirely sufficient. Many of you have observed
that current law does not adequately address many issues either.
Your challenge is to learn how to manage difficult situations on the job and in your personal
lives. Legal standards and ethical theories are useful to a point, but you need a one-line
standard to help guide you. Please develop a standard that you can use in virtually any situation
to help you decide how to act, and phrase it as a question. Your standard might be similar to any
of the following:
· “The Golden Rule” – Do unto others as you would have them to unto you, or, Would I want
someone to do this to me, my employees, or my loved ones?
· “The Fishbowl” – Would I be comfortable if everyone could see me doing this?
· “The Man (Woman) in the Mirror” – Could still I look myself in the mirror if I do this? (i.e.,
would I lose respect for myself if I did this?)
· “The Media Standard” – If everyone knew I did this, would that be acceptable?
You may devise your own one-line approach. You should be able to apply the standard easily,
in any situation, and be appropriately guided in your actions. Your ethical theory should be
based in classical theories, appropriately critiqued.
The project: In your paper, explain how your personal ethical standard incorporates aspects of
the classical theories we’ve studied. To do this:
· Demonstrate your understanding of the ethical theories we learned by explaining the five
theories in your own words, using research examples from our text. (Part I of the rubric)
· Explain how your standard uses essential aspects of the theories. If your standard does not
use any aspect of the five theories, then explain why it does not. (Part II.A of the rubric)
· Explain why your standard is easy to use and apply. (Part II.B of the rubric)
· Describe how your standard would apply in almost any business or personal situation (Part
II.C of the rubric)
Ideally, your ethical standard will reflect elements your personal credo, or at least be consistent
with it. Some reference to your credo will be beneficial.
Please note that you may use the research from the text and the posted resources. You already
have read and applied these theories in the myriad cases found in the text. Please use different
cases from the text as the “research examples” noted in the “exemplary” column of the rubric.
Excellent writing that is required in any Masters course is expected; please have someone
trustworthy review your paper before submitting. The Academic Support Center in the Student
Center is an available resource for you.
