Activity--Assessing the Ethics of a University Plagiarism-Detection Site

Q As president of the Student Council, your response must analyze the ethical implications of the university’s plan to require that all students subsidize a site license from CopyCatcher.com. Consider the plan from the perspective of the four ethical standards (rights, justice, utility, and care). Do all of the standards pertain? Which of the four standards listed above enable you to make a persuasive case for your recommended course of action? You don’t have to submit anything to the drop box, but prepare some notes so we can discuss this issue in class on Friday.

If there is imposition for all students to subsidize a site license from CopyCatcher, there can be negative implications like students being forced to spend money. If any student would not want to spend money, the student would have to spend money. It would be against the rights of the students to force them officially to pay money when some students would not want to pay money.
