1. Introduction: This will present your ethical issue and thesis statement (explanation of what your project will present) and should be one paragraph in length. Be sure to describe the topic you have chosen, issues that arise from this topic, and what the reader will learn in your project. Close the paragraph with a clear, concise thesis statement that states your position on the topic.
Sample thesis statement:
In this essay, I will examine racial profiling in community law enforcement and argue that while strong assumptions based on race are unjust it is practical and necessary for law enforcement officials to consider all factors that may be relevant to their safety in community policing.
2. Ethical Issue: This section is the main portion of your project.
• Present information that support the thesis using at least two resources to support the viewpoint and thesis statement. The assignment is an argumentative ethics project in which you support your stance on the topic. It is not a report that details the history of the subject or all the technical details involved with the topic. For example, if you are writing a paper on the use of social media in hiring decisions you should not explain how social media works or give the history of social media. The project should take an ethical stance on the topic, while exploring the merits of other positions.
• Present an opposing viewpoint. Opposing viewpoints consider positions that differ from the one you have taken. Remember, good critical thinking does not work in black and white terms, but rather displays a tolerance for ambiguity and considers other positions for their individual merits.
3. Conclusion: In this section, your will bring the ideas presented throughout your project all together in a comprehensive summary that reiterates your viewpoint and how this is further supported by existing research.
