Analytical Paper Students will write a seven- to eight-page paper analyzing an ethical issue using an ethical dilemma decision-making process. In their papers, students will analyze a violation of ethics in the social and human services profession as reported in the popular media or a professional journal. In their papers, students should include: 1) description of the case, based on the information gathered from the popular media or professional journal; 2) detailed discussion of ethical violations of the professional Code of Ethics in this case; 3) the student’s recommendation for the resolution of the case and his/her rationale for choosing this outcome based on a chosen ethical perspective discussed in this course. Student are expected to combine their own thoughtful analysis with ideas and information found in at least three sources other than sources for the ethical violation, the professional codes, and the course textbook. Therefore, as in any scholarly writing, students should not merely copy information from another author, but use evidence to support the contentions they have drawn from their findings and critically analyze related literature – this paper has to be an analytical paper, not a summary of readings. This paper must meet APA requirements of format and style.
