Assignments submitted through this link will be checked using SafeAssign by Blackboard. Your work will not be used for any purpose other than preventing plagiarism in the University. Ownership of the intellectual property contained in your written work will not be transferred to any third party. Please submit your paper as a Word Document. If you have the 2010 version of Word, please save your paper in a previous version (Word 97-2003 document) as Safe Assign may not accept the most recent version.

The requirements for this assignment are to:
• Compose a final paper from the unit 4-7 essays.
• Choose one of the three ethical systems that you wrote about in units 5-7 and explain why this system most closely aligns with your thesis statement and why you think it most satisfactorily answers the ethical dilemma that your thesis is based upon.
• Conclude your final paper by explaining the weaknesses that your chosen system might still have that might keep you from applying this system to all ethical dilemmas in your life.
• The final paper must include a title page with the following:
a Title of paper
b Student’s name
c Course name and number
d Instructor’s name
e Date submitted
Students: Be sure to read the criteria, by which your paper/project will be evaluated, before you write, and again after you write. Refer to the rubric document in Course Information.
Now that you have examined your chosen topic using the three main categories of ethics (consequentialism, deontological ethics, and character ethics) you must choose one that you think works best with your thesis statement and the ethical topic you chose to write on from units 4-8. The vast majority of the unit 8 paper will be just rearranging excerpts from the essays you wrote in weeks 4-7, but the final paper must be a coherent and well-flowing research paper, and not a patchwork of paragraphs pasted together. The paper should follow the structure outlined below:
Introduction: In the first paragraph or two you should provide a brief introduction to the issue that allows the reader to understand the topic and where you will be going with the discussion. The first paragraph should contain your one sentence thesis statement that contains your moral contention and three reasons why you hold that view (from your week 4 essay). In addition you must include a brief description of the moral theory that you have chosen as the system that most closely aligns with your ethical beliefs and thesis statement.
Body: In the body of the final paper (which will likely be 8 to 10 paragraphs) you will explain the three reasons why you hold the ethical or moral opinion that you do, as you did in the unit 4 assignment, but you will now be able to add in-depth information on which ethical views support your reasoning and what views would disagree with your reasoning (from your unit 5, 6, and 7 essays). Please add any sources, data, or examples from your research that are pertinent to backing up your opinion with facts. If you feel that your reasoning has changed since you wrote your unit 4 essay in light of your research on the ethical theories, feel free to update your ideas.
Conclusion: Conclude your essay by briefly reviewing the three reasons that you have used to demonstrate the strength of your opinion and why they show the issue is ethically significant. Your final paragraph should also contain a paraphrased restatement of your thesis and why you ultimately chose the ethical theory you did to back up your beliefs, and what weaknesses remain in the theory that might keep you from being a 100% adherent to the ethical system..
The final paper must be 1500 to 2000 words (excluding title and reference pages) in length, double spaced, and formatted according to APA style, using Times new Roman type and size 12 font. In your final paper you must utilize at least two required readings or media, and two scholarly readings or media that you researched on your own to support your claims. Cite your sources within the text of your paper and on the reference page.
