For  this final case study, choose one contested development in the history  of your profession or field of study and based on research complete the  worksheet. If you have already discussed your own profession in class,  choose an ethical debate related to a STEM profession that has not been  covered.

Please  keep in mind there must be some ethical conundrum addressed. However,  for this “case study,” there does not need to be a particular story or  article and the resources you gather might be for background  information. For example, much has been made over Elon Musk’s  interpretation of the right to free speech. But since STEM includes  Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math, you are free to focus on any  conundrum or dilemma from any of those areas. As a reminder, if you  cannot apply your moral compass to defend your position on the topic,  you need to rethink your subject.

For  this case study, again be sure to apply a detailed ethical system to  the selected case. Consider at least three specific aspects of an  ethical rationale for your discussion of whether the instance is moral  and your discussion of leadership recommendations.

Use the following format to write a paper to discuss your case study. Each section should be at least one fully developed paragraph.

Name:

Case Study Title: Include a full APA or MLA citation in your reference section with URL link.

1. Briefly what happened? Summarize the case.

2. Key Stakeholders and how they were negatively impacted: Discuss at least 4 major stakeholders (not stockholders, though the stockholders may be stakeholders). For each stakeholder, briefly explain the relationship with the company – why they are stakeholders and how were they impacted? You may use bullet points to summarize each stakeholder.

3. What was the final outcome? Include specific details such as prison, fines, termination, and for how many individuals. Make sure to cite your facts.

4. Describe why you feel someone’s actions were morally wrong? Using ethical systems discuss why these behaviors were morally right or wrong. Be sure to use keywords describing your moral base (consequentialist, care, duty, act utilitarian, prima facie duties, etc.) and why your compass would justify classifying the action as morally right or wrong. Be sure to document the resource(s) you use for the definition of the moral theory or theories.

5. Put yourself in a position of leadership: Describe what you would put in place that would have prevented this in the first place or keep it from happening again. Or, alternatively what rules would you would implement to justify the action. Discuss rules in the context of your leadership philosophy or ethical standard.

References: At least one reference is required in APA/MLA format. Intext citations should be used to show your research . Note that if your major requires a different style, use it. Just be consistent.
