Course Project 1: ETHICS PAPER “TOPIC PROPOSAL” Course Project 1: ETHICS PAPER “TOPIC PROPOSAL” This assignment is your first course project for the class. It is worth 5% of your overall FINAL GRADE for the class, and it calculates into your Course Project grade. Please MAKE SURE to read all of the related instructions that are posted on our class BRIGHTSPACE website before you begin to complete this worksheet. Then complete and submit the provided table below as your actual Topic Proposal . You MUST have APPROVAL for this assignment BEFORE you move forward to your second project: Course Project 2 Outline (when it becomes available) . If I happen to have any concerns regarding your topic of choice, I will indicate that on your graded rubric for this assignment and/or contact you via email/phone. (An example of how to complete this proposal table is post with the assignment instructions on Brightspace.) This submitted Topic Proposal should contain the following FOUR components: Textbook Information, Moral Topic Information, Moral Claim Information, General Overview Information. Textbook Information Chapter Number 14 Chapter Title Racism, Equality, and Discrimination Moral Topic Information SPECIFIC TOPIC Racism Definition QUOTE (with in-text citation) “Racism is based on the belief that distinct races exist and that significant differences (such as moral, intellectual, or cultural differences) among races can be distinguished. What pushes this view about race into racism is the additional belief that some races are inferior in these significant respects or otherwise deserving of dislike or hostility” (Vaughn, 2022, p.439). Reference CITATION (in full “APA” format)
Vaughn, L. (2022). Doing Ethics: Moral Reasoning, Theory, and Contemporary Issues (6 th ed.). W.W. Norton & Company, Inc. Moral Claim Information ( ONLY ONE SENTENCE! ) MORAL BELIEF The morally right or morally wrong position that you will attempt to prove in your upcoming CP-3 Ethics Paper. Racism violates moral principles and should never be tolerated. General Overview Information (3-5 sentences) IMPORTANCE Why do you believe that this topic is an important ethical issue/concern? This topic is an important ethical issue because, of the futile mental stress and harassment that it causes people on a daily basis. People of different races and ethical backgrounds go through harassment and sometimes even physical harm because of the color of their skin or culture. It is very cruel and immoral to believe that there is only one superior race. And it is wrong to treat people wrong or cause them harm just because they are a different skin color or because they are different in a way.
