Using the components of the argumentative essay located in Sections 9.1 and 9.2 of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Hardy, Foster, & Zúñiga y Postigo (2015), your assignment should include the following:

An introduction. This is  the “Problem” portion of the essay that is covered in Section 9.1: The  Argumentative Essay (Hardy, Foster, & Zúñiga y Postigo, 2015). This  should be an improved version of the introduction in your initial post,  revised on the basis of your professor’s feedback and additional  research. In this introduction you will need to (a) identify the  specific issue or problem that you want to address and give an impartial  presentation of the controversy, (b) articulate briefly the  characteristics of the economic system that serves as the setting for  the business, and (c) examine the laws that affect the operations of the  business. The introduction should be one paragraph of around 200 words  in length.

A thesis. Start a new  paragraph with a precise and clear sentence in which you state your  moral position with regard to the case that you presented in your first  paragraph. This is known as stating your thesis. (See the “Thesis”  passage in “The Argumentative Essay” in Hardy, Foster, & Zúñiga y  Postigo, 2015). The thesis you state here should be an improved version  of the thesis in your initial post in the discussion, revised on the  basis of your professor’s feedback and your reading of “The  Argumentative Essay” indicated above.

A thesis is only one sentence, so do not  write a series of sentences, or a complex sentence with explanatory  clauses (e.g., “because…” or “since…” or “according to Dr. Mary Expert,  an economist with the Bureau of Labor statistics…”, or “a law that was  ratified with 80% votes in favor…”). An example of a precise and clear  thesis is this: “Factory farms are not morally justifiable” or, of  course, the opposite point of view: “Factory farms are morally  justifiable.” Keep in mind that your thesis in this assignment will be  the basis for the argumentative essay of the Week 5 written assignment,  so take your time when formulating this thesis.

Ethical theory. In the  same second paragraph as the thesis statement, identify the ethical  theory that supports your moral position. You may choose from  utilitarianism, duty ethics, or virtue ethics. Present the  characteristics of the ethical theory in a broad sketch, and include  citations and references in APA form. Then, apply your chosen ethical  theory by explaining how it lends itself to the moral position that you  are defending.

Two premises. Present at  least two reasons in support of your thesis and these should be  presented in the form of a claim. These are called premises. Articulate  each premise in one clear and grammatically correct sentence. Review  Section 9.1 of With Good Reason: A Guide to Critical Thinking (Foster, Hardy, and Zúñiga y Postigo, 2015). Start a new paragraph for each.

In the rest of the paragraph, support  your premise by presenting an analysis of how the ethical theory lends  itself to the best solution. This analysis includes articulating the  characteristics(s) of the economic system at work that support the  claims in your premises. It also includes examining the effects of the  law(s) at work that also support the claims in your premises.

Comparative analysis. In  the final paragraph, analyze how this application lends itself to a  solution that is superior to that offered by one of the ethical theories  that you did not select. To do this, provide a clear statement  describing the moral solution offered by this other theory. For example,  if you chose utilitarianism to apply to your case, then you can choose  from either virtue ethics or deontology for your comparative analysis.  Explain in no more than three sentences what moral solution would result  from the application of this other ethical theory. See the “ Sample Case Analysis                  Download Sample Case Analysis               ” for an illustration of how this would look like.  Finally, analyze the strengths of the moral solution presented by your  chosen ethical theory in ways that demonstrate how it is superior to the  moral solution offered by the other ethical theory.

The first part states that the responsibility of business is to its shareholders by using its resources to increase profits. Most stop here and assume that Friedman is advocating an ethics of egoism. But the important second part is that Friedman argues that business must be bound by the law and rules of honesty and decency toward others. Accessibility Statement (Links to an external site.) Privacy Policy does not exist.

• This report shows that although women have made notable gains in pay, there is a gender gap in pay of around twenty percent. This is due to three factors: (1) most women take part time jobs, (2) a greater percent of women compared to men leave the labor force for child birth, child care, and/or elder parents care, and (3) women prefer certain family friendly industries or jobs that also tend to be lower paying.
