Week 4 Ethical Dilemma Project

Q Week 4 Ethical Dilemma Project: Ethical Dilemma and Application of Ethical Theory Last week you selected and described the case for your Ethical Dilemma Project. This week you are to identify the ethical dilemma(s) in the case you chose and apply ethical theory to analyze and resolve the problem(s) you identified in the case. Note: You are being graded on your demonstration of reasoning, critical thinking, and analytical abilities in applying what you are learning about ethical issues in the profes-sions. You will be using your text and outside sources of information, so please provide in-text citations and references using APA formatting. Please use the template labeled Week 4: Ethical Dilemma Project: Ethical Dilemma and Application of Ethical Theory (Links to an external site.) to complete this assignment. The completed assignment is due at the end of Week 4 and is worth 100 points. Please see the rubric for the grading criteria. Ethical Dilemma Make an initial estimation of the ethical dilemma present, that is, what the core issues are in the case. What is the main ethical conflict or problem? Describe the key ethical dilemma in one or two sentences or in a "should" question. Application of Ethical Theory Use at least three ethical theories (Kant's deontological theory, John Stuart Mill's teleo-logical theory/utilitarianism/consequentialism, Aristotle's virtue-based approach, John Rawl's theory of justice, or your own theory) to analyze and resolve the problem. How would each ethicist explain the ethical problem and resolve it? This section should be at least two pages and headings should be used to identify each of the three theories. Cite all sources using APA documentation. Choose one of the available choices and write a two-page Word document (.docx) out-lining the rationale for your answer. You should include principles that you have learned so far in this course. Be sure to provide adequate information to support your answer. Remember to use the template provided and submit your assignment.

The key ethical dilemma of the case is Marshall’s response to the arrest of one of their employees who was stealing credit card information from customers. The case involved an employee who did not seem outwardly to be involved with drugs stealing credit card information during the checkout process. Upon her arrest, Marshall’s reputation was negatively impacted throughout the community.
