The first main point should almost always be a summary of one ethical theory.
That means a quick summary of one of the five ethical theories covered—and really, probably one of the three explicitly covered in Treviño and Nelson. Those are:
- consequentialism/teleology/utilitarianism
- deontology/universalism
- virtue ethics
This theory then becomes the foundation of your argument. After explaining it in the first main point, you apply that theory throughout the later points (perhaps at the end of each main point) to justify the overall argument.
This first main point should not really get into the heart of the specific topic yet. However, you can—and perhaps should—tie that ethical theory to the domain of interest. So, in the case of remote proctoring: why should professors/universities use that ethical theory in general? Not in the context of remote proctoring, but in general. You can also cherry pick the most relevant parts of your chosen theory, knowing that this will set you up for a stronger argument later.
If you’re arguing “it’s ethical, with conditions,” cover both parts of that
- About four (4) pages of main text
-
- Double-spaced, 1″ margins, 12-point font
- Not 2.5 or 3.2 pages, and definitely not 5.7 pages; about 4.0 pages
- A separate title page (learn how to use page breaks in your word processor)
- A separate list of works cited (again: use a page break)
- An appropriate introduction and conclusion
- A clear thesis statement
- Several main points (generally 2-4) that each support the claim of your thesis.
- Supporting research appropriate to the paper
- At least 8 total credible, independent sources
- Could be newspapers
- Might include independent trade magazines (look them up if unsure of their credibility)
- Could include credible, independent online journalism outlets—MarketWatch yes, Uncle Gary’s Content Farm no (again: look them if if unsure)
- Not press releases
- Not random blogs
- Not company webpages or statements
- Definitely not another student’s homework (not even an MBA student, but exceptions for published MA/PhD theses)
- Most definitely, absolutely, positively not anything found on homework help websites
- Of the 8 total, at least 3 peer-reviewed, scholarly journal articles. Not sure what that means? Visit the Auraria Library’s Research Guide on Evaluating SourcesLinks to an external site..
- If you’re searching via your internet search engine of choice, you’re probably not getting peer-reviewed journal articles.
- Just because it’s on a university webpage does not mean it’s a peer-reviewed journal article.
- See the video below for more on how to find good research, including peer-reviewed research.
- All sources must directly relate to the main points of your paper.
- For instance, don’t bump up citation counts by including an article about the company’s founding.)
- All sources must be published at a time that makes sense for proving your point. This generally means within the last few years.
- For instance, if you claim that your company has implemented an exciting new environmental program, a story from eight years ago will not be very persuasive.
- At least 8 total credible, independent sources
Is it ever ethical for companies to surveil remote workers—and if so, under what circumstances?
