American Military University Ethics and Contemporary Issues Project Paper
Description
This week you will compose the opening sections of your ethical response to the controversial issue you have chosen. Next week, you will complete the response by adding solutions and a conclusion section. This week’s response should be organized as follows:
Introduction: in one to two paragraphs, introduce the topic you have chosen. This section may be similar to what you wrote at the beginning of the academic research assignment in Week 4. Tell the reader what your topic is, why you have chosen it, and why people should care about it.
Background: in a few paragraphs, tell your reader about the history and context of your chosen topic. What social, political, cultural, or technological factors have shaped attitudes toward this topic, and how have attitudes about this topic changed over time? Why is this particular topic especially relevant today?
- Ethical Challenges: In a few more paragraphs, outline the key ethical challenges raised by your chosen topic. For purposes of this assignment, think of an ethical challenge as a problem with several possible solutions, none being perfect. Next week you will discuss possible solutions, but for this week you will simply focus on laying out the dilemmas your topic poses.

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.
