Objective: Apply decision making frameworks to IT-related ethical issues Submission Requirements: Prepare a report with a total minimum of 1,000 words and submit it to the Project A Assignment Assignments Folder as an attached Microsoft Word file (as an .rtf or .doc format file). Please note: Use at least one article on the topic of your chosen IT Ethics issue and cite and reference it as the basis for some part of your report. Do not quote any source text (from the book or article) and do not include any graphics of any kind in your project papers. Only use text and original expression - only that will be counted in addressing the minimum word count and addressing the topic criteria. Format: Indicate appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) style for citations and references for all sources you use. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style. Note: you only need to use APA style guidelines for the citations you provide in the body of your text to indicate that you are drawing information from a source (but not quoting it) and also in a corresponding reference entry in a list of references after the end of the body of your text. Here is a link to descriptions and examples of APA references by category of online article publication: https://library.nmu.edu/guides/userguides/style_apa.htm#top For this paper, the following elements must be addressed (in a text-only report total minimum of 1,000 words) with the corresponding required headings shown below: Current IT-related Ethical Issue (heading) Choose and describe the context of a Current IT-related Ethical Issue from the list of topics provided at bottom of this post. Decision-Making Process (heading) Under the Decision-Making Process (heading) of your report, you should chose one of the four common approaches (the ethical principles described in the list below) as the method to reason and resolve the ethical issue you have chosen in your Project A (from the list of ethical issues in the assignment description). Four common approaches to ethical decision making: Virtue ethics approach - the ethical choice that best reflects moral virtues in yourself and your community Utilitarian approach - the ethical choice that produces the greatest excess of benefits over harm Fairness approach - the ethical choice that treats everyone the same and shows no favoritism or discrimination Common good approach - the ethical choice that advances the common good For the second part of Apply the Decision-Making Process part of your report, refer to the diagram and discussion of the Reynolds 7 Step Decision-Making Process in the Module 2 Reading for Week 2 to include identifying and choosing alternatives. Include the decision and the evaluation results (Note: use care not to go too far from the basic problem with your assumptions you make for the evaluation.)
