The Additional Theory: Should Employees Be Fired For What They Have Posted About On Social Media- Essay Writing Assignment

Essay Writing Assignment:

You are required to submit three additional elements for your essay.

The ADDITIONAL THEORY is an ethical analysis of your topic from the perspective of one of the theories other than utilitarian or Kantian ethics that we have studied in class. In other words, you can use virtue ethics, Critical Theory, environmental ethics or discourse ethics to apply to your case. As with Part 1 of your essay, you should assume that the reader is familiar with the theory and focus on the APPLICATION to your case.

 The THEORY EXTENSION is the use of one academic paper ONLY A ACADEMIC PAPER  to deepen your analysis. The paper you select should be about an aspect of utilitarian theory, Kantian theory or the theory you have selected as your additional theory. In this section you should NOT assume that the reader is familiar with the academic paper you have selected and you should therefore briefly describe the way that the paper extends the theory and then apply that extension to your case. You should conclude this section by clearly stating whether this extension supports or refutes the original conclusion you reached. For example, a paper might extend utilitarian theory by providing some specific tests to identify which stakeholders should be included and excluded from the utilitarian analysis. You would then follow this method and describe which stakeholders changed as a result and what the impact on overall utility was. Note that you do not have to use the entire academic paper – it may be only a section of the paper that you wish to describe and apply.

The CONCLUSION is the section where first and foremost you provide an answer to the question you have set yourself in your essay. In providing your conclusion you should refer to the sub-answers you obtained from the three theories you have used and the theory extension. Better answers will explain why they gave some theories greater weight then others, especially if there are conflicting answers between theories, and also the overall level of confidence they have in their conclusion. Better answers will also provide practical steps that should be taken (e.g. by industry, government or other stakeholders) to promote the practice which has been determined to be moral.
