Choose one of the following two (2) options to complete a paper that should be a minimum of
three hundred (300) in length.
Option 1
In readings and class discussions, we have talked about the relationship and distinctions between
morality and ethics. Morality deals with basic principles of right and wrong or good and bad. Ethics
deals with behavior and actions.
Search the Internet or the ASU Library to find an example of a code of ethics or a code of conduct
for an organization or group. Websites for professional organizations usually contain such
information.
In your paper, provide a cut-and-paste copy of the code as an or summarize it briefly. Now, using
that code as a starting point, develop a code of ethics or code of conduct for your own “fictitious”
organization or an organization you are familiar with. Justify how adherence to this code enables
the organization to create greater business value.
Utilize and cite the course textbook and/or one (1) additional credible or scholarly source to
support your analysis and positions.
Option 2
In readings and class discussions, we have talked about the relationship and distinctions between
morality and ethics. Morality deals with basic principles of right and wrong or good and bad. Ethics
deals with behavior and actions.
Search the Internet or the ASU Library to find two (2) examples of code of ethics or code of
conduct for an organization or group. In your paper, provide a cut-and-paste copy of the codes in
your assignment or summarize them briefly.
Apply what you have learned from the module to identify, describe, and analyze the moral
principles, ethical and legal requirements, and implications with respect to criminal behavior (if
relevant) that are reflected in each element of the code examples that you have found. On the
concluding page, evaluate how morals, ethics, and law contribute to the overall effectiveness of
the code.
