American Military University Ethics and Contemporary Issues Paper
Description
Last week, you completed the first step in your assignment by selecting a controversial contemporary issue. This week, you will complete the next step by using scholarly research tools to locate and write about three academic articles or books that are relevant to the topic you chose.
Carefully read each source. If one of your sources is a book, just read the relevant chapter or chapters. Take notes. What are the article’s main points? What key terms, concepts, or arguments does the article’s author use to make those points? How can you use the article’s main points to develop your own thoughts and opinions on the issue you have chosen?
Here is how your response should be structured.
Open with a paragraph that contains a brief overview of the issue and why it is important to you. In a broad way, indicate why you feel the sources you have chosen are relevant to your topic choice.
In the second, third, and fourth paragraphs, provide a summary of each source in your own words. In other words, each source summary should be one paragraph long. If appropriate, include brief quotations of no longer than a sentence, but no more than one quotation per source.
- In the fifth and final paragraph, conclude by noting similarities and differences, as well as strengths and weaknesses of each source. Which source do you think will be most helpful to you?

What is your topic?
Using race or ethnicity as a factor in hiring decisions or college admissions
hy did you choose it?
This topic stood out to me because I think being African American this
sometimes plays a huge role in if we get the job or accepted into college. A
relative asked me why we named my son DeVaughn because with a name
like that he will have a hard time getting a call back for an interview. I used
this example because the color of your skin or the way your name sounds
should not have anything to do with you a job or getting into your dream
college.
hat ethical dilemmas does your topic raise?
Discrimination is a dilemma that my topic will raise. Basic human rights.
ased on what you have learned about ethics so far, how do you imagine
some of the famous ethicists of the past, such as Aristotle, Aquinas, or Locke,
would have to say about your topic?ased on what I learned about ethics so far, Imagine that some of them
would think that everyone should be treated equally while some would say
that this is how things are mean to be and that we should not care about
feelings.
