Core Values Portfolio—Instructions and Guidelines
1. For the first two sections (Individual Ethics and Managerial Ethics), I want
you to use the general formats and headings of the “Leon” and “Tom”
templates. *Don’t* follow the templates too closely and don’t use fact
patterns too similar to mine—creativity is critical!—but don’t make up your
own formats.
2. For the third section (Social Entrepreneurship), please use the format of the
“Tara” template unless you talk with me about using a different format.
3. For the final section (Credo) the format I use is a guideline only. If it’s
helpful, great—but if you want to throw it out to create your own format
with or without talking to me, that’s perfectly fine.
4. In the Conclusion, please identify four core values.
5. The expected length for each section of the CVP is 5 pp. single spaced.
Shorter sections tend to lack sufficient depth; longer ones, like the “Leon”
Individual Ethics section, are fine but not expected.
6. The first two sections must be based on real not fictional situations in your
own life (Individual Ethics) or in a company (Managerial Ethics).

Like the link above, often times Hollywood more than exaggerates the law and/or law-related activities. However, there is still value when doing an ethical review.
Pick any law-based movie(s) and find 4 instances of ethical rules (they can be violations or compliance). Watch the movie(s) of your choice. Find any (4) ethical issues which we went over in this course. The issues you examine can all be in the same movie or different movies. Identify the issue, tell me what the relevant rule is, then provide analysis of it (use cases when you are able), identify whether there was compliance or a violation and then provide the legal conclusion. If there was a violation, indicate what the lawyer could or should have done to comply with the rule. Your answer to the Assignment should include the following and substantially in an IRAC form (issue, rule, analysis, conclusion). Identify the movie, identify where in the movie the ethical rule is demonstrated and provide some facts surrounding it in the movie. What rules were violated? What rules were followed? Be specific. Do not simply tell me, the lawyer lied. Do tell me that the lawyer violated rule 1.6 when he disclosed confidential information to his girlfriend, etc. You will be graded on your ability to identify ethical rules, analyze them in accordance with the relevant Model Rules, case law examined in this course including in the discussion board and/or textbook, and the conclusion ie whether the lawyer complied or violated said rule. You may include any relevant state law on the issue. You may also compare the movie scenarios if they deal with the same rule or issue. I will critique your writing for completeness and creativity. Again 4 different scenarios, each worth 25 points for a total of 100 points.

Read the following scenario, and then answer the questions presented. If you need to cite references for any answers, please do so directly after your answer. Do not place references on a separate page.
Scenario: A communication consultant was hired to provide help for a large nonprofit organization. Recently the organization had some support withdrawn due to perceived internal conflict within the organization at the managerial level.
In meeting with the consultant, the CEO stated he believed the conflict was due to the actions of one member of his leadership team. He shared that one of the managers, Ted, was closed to feedback and played favorites with young, attractive women in the organization.
The consultant interviewed all six members of the leadership team and each shared that, indeed, Ted was closed to feedback and withheld his opinions. Regarding his favoritism towards young, attractive women in the organization, Ted shared with the consultant that the leadership team did not appreciate his mentoring of young members of the organization; however, he felt that he was providing an important service to the organization in doing so. During his conversation with the consultant, Ted agreed that he kept his opinions to himself because he felt as though he was not recognized for the work he did.
In 2–3 pages, respond to the following questions in complete paragraphs in a Word document. Cite any sources used directly after your response.
Describe the main conflict in the above scenario. What actions led to the conflict in this situation?
Why do you think the conflict occurred?
Do you think third-party intervention was necessary to help resolve this conflict? Defend your position on why or why not.
How can internal conflict within a nonprofit organization impact the community in which it serves?

Mask up? 
During any pandemic featuring a virus that is spread through the respiratory system, people are encouraged to wear masks as doing so helps not only the wearer but the people around that person if he or she happens to be infected unaware. Using the fundamentals of utilitarianism, argue either that people who refuse to wear the masks (for other than medical reasons) should be fined or jailed OR that personal rights to freedom are more important for the greater good.

The main goal of the Four-Part Paper Proposal assignment is to fill in these blanks: 
1. The relevant author(s) argue(s) [blank] by [blank]. (Cite and summarize the relevant
author or authors. You’ve already started working on this for the Paper Plan assignment!)
2. I maintain [blank] because [blank]. (The first “blank” will be the thesis of your paper.) 
3. The best objection to my thesis or argument is [blank]. 
4. I reply to this objection by [blank].  
Use Judith Jarvis Johnson Article “A Defense of Abortion” for this essay.
Your submission should devote one short paragraph per fill-in-the-blank statement. For each
incomplete statement, it may take more than one sentence to clearly fill in the blanks.  

Read the instructions in the file labelled “INSTRUCTIONS” very carefully and follow what it says on that document. I will provide the sources below and you are not allowed to use any additional outside sources. The essay should be at least 700 words and preferably two pages. You must provide quotes from the 3 given sources.

Eastern Ethics and Natural Law
Do some research on one of the Eastern systems and then compare it to either Aristotle’s virtue theory or Aquinas’ Natural Law Theory in terms of which seems more reasonable. Which seems more coherent and able to be followed and which might help a person formulate a plan that would produce more morally acceptable behavior.

Physician Assisted Suicide
Some people promote the idea that humans should have the right to die with dignity (see https://www.deathwithdignity.org/ ). Several states have legalized physician-assisted suicide (PAS). However, others may argue that a doctor prescribing a deadly prescription violates that doctor’s Hippocratic Oath or claim that suicide by any means is immoral. Doing research and taking into consideration the actual laws concerning when and how a confirmed terminal patient would be able to request PAS, make an argument that it is or is not a moral action. Be sure you are arguing from the perspective of one of the various deontological theories (Kantian, Ross’s Prima Facie Duties, Contractarianism, etc). 
Also see if you can find Kant’s famous argument on the immorality of suicide. Does he have a point or are there just some times when the morally right thing to do is to allow a person to end his or her suffering?
