SELF-STUDIES ASSIGNMENT Business Ethics COMPOSITION AND PRESENTATION
IB, IT groups
Self-studies objectives:
Express one's opinion on a chosen ethical issue;
Use up-to-date information sources;
Express oneself properly orally and in written form.
Assignment:
Divide into groups of three (one Erasmus student per group). Choose any ethical issue and use the key questions below to help you identify and elaborate on the major ethical problems. Make a list of the groups (also indicate a selected topic) and present it to the teacher on the 8th November. Choose any media you want for the presentation (e.g., PowerPoint, printed materials, etc). Also, arrange all the information in accordance with the requirements of Business Correspondence and present the ready version on time (19th November).
Assessment criteria:
Paper work is assessed in accordance with the requirements approved by VIKO which equals to 0,3 of the common mark. It includes the correctness and completeness of topic presentation, creativity, and depth of the matter.
Oral presentation is evaluated separately and accordingly equals to 0,7 of the common mark.
Contemporary Ethical Issues
1. Welfare and charity. Welfare is organized charity, funneled through the collective, the government. But it raises many issues. How should we help others who are less fortunate? Can we differentiate between the "deserving poor" and the "undeserving" poor? Regarding the broader topic of welfare: General issues of responsibility are raised. When is helping someone really helping them, and when is it rescuing them and enabling their own self-defeating behavioral patterns. Can beggars be choosers? Are any "rights" implicitly forfeited by someone who receives charity? (This varies in different cultures!) For example, if offered work, is the person who is given welfare obligated to accept that job, even if they don't like that work? What if the decision as to a job being not acceptable
