Prepare An 11 To 15 Page Paper Not Including The Title And Reference

Prepare an 11- to 15-page paper (not including the title and reference pages) that assesses a legal/ethical issue or situation relating to a current, previous, or potential future work environment. Your paper must include a description of a business situation that presents a legal and ethical issue, along with an analysis of the ethical concerns raised by the situation. Apply at least two different ethical theories to support different possible outcomes, and determine which outlook results in the best legal outcome for the business. Explain at least three relevant areas of law addressed in the course and assess how each applies to the situation. Provide a recommendation to reduce liability and improve the ethical climate, supported by legal, ethical, and business principles.

Paper For Above instruction

The final paper provides an in-depth analysis of a legal and ethical issue within a business context, drawing from a real or anticipated work environment scenario. The paper begins with an introduction that clearly states its focus and thesis. It then proceeds to describe the selected business situation in detail, ensuring the description is concise and restricted to no more than two pages. This scenario serves as the foundation for the ethical and legal analysis that follows.

The core of the paper involves a critical assessment of the ethical concerns inherent in the situation. By applying at least two distinct ethical theories—such as deontology, consequentialism, virtue ethics, or utilitarianism—the paper explores multiple pathways and outcomes. For each theoretical approach, it discusses how the ethical principles influence the decision-making process and the potential consequences for the business. Further, it evaluates which ethical perspective leads to the most favorable legal and business outcome, emphasizing the importance of aligning ethical considerations with legal compliance.

An essential component of the analysis is an exploration of three relevant legal areas discussed in the course—such as employment law, contracts, or torts. Each area is examined concerning how it applies to the business scenario, including potential legal risks and obligations. This legal analysis offers a comprehensive understanding of the implications that legal principles hold for the business, guiding risk management and strategic decision-making.

Based on this comprehensive analysis, the paper offers well-founded recommendations aimed at reducing legal liability and fostering an ethical business culture. These recommendations draw on specific legal criteria, ethical standards, and best business practices. The goal is to enhance organizational integrity and accountability while maintaining legal compliance, thereby strengthening the company's overall ethical climate.

The paper is structured with approximately 11 to 15 pages of content, exclusive of the title and references pages, formatted according to APA style guidelines. A title page introduces the topic, including the title, student’s name, course information, instructor’s name, and submission date. An introductory paragraph presents the thesis statement and outlines the focus, followed by a detailed discussion and analysis. The conclusion summarizes key findings and reaffirms the thesis. All sources are scholarly, with at least 10 references cited in APA format, supporting the analysis and recommendations.
