Assignment: Global Issues and Globalization

Locate a news article that depicts an ethical dilemma in the workplace. Possible examples may include the following:

• Employees facing backlash at work for social media posts
• A business discriminating against a customer
• An employer with controversial policies

You are encouraged to explore beyond this list of topics to find an issue or example that interests you.

In your discussion, address the following:

• Summarize the article and situation.
• Relate the situation to at least 1 of the ethical theories from this course.
• Describe how you might handle the situation differently.

A minimum of 1 reference should be used to reinforce your thoughts. Be sure to include it both as an in-text citation and on your reference list at the end of your discussion post.

Remember: an "ethical system" is a system that defines what makes something good or bad (not CSR, EE, bribery, etc.); for this assignment, practice applying either utilitarianism, Kant's categorical imperative, virtue ethics, or social contract theory to your scenario.
