Ch. 1 Discussion 70 70 unread replies. 92 92 replies. The goal of this course discussion is to apply what you have learned after reading chapter material and reviewing PowerPoint Presentations. Keep in mind that this discussion question will help prepare you for homework and future assessments, so it is important that you understand the information and actively participate in discussions. To supplement your learning and enhance your understanding, you may also have to conduct research outside of course provided material. Discussion Question Requirements: 1. Pick one of the following questions and in a minimum of two paragraphs, answer the question no later than Thursday by 11:59 p.m. EST . o If the Thursday by 11:59 pm EST is missed, you will receive a zero for the initial discussion post. However, to earn partial assignment credit, you will still be required to provide the initial post to participate in peer discussion. 2. Find two peers that answered the opposite question and review. Then, in no less than one paragraph, comment with supplemental information and/or why you found it helpful, informative, etc. no later than Sunday by 11:59 p.m. EST . You must present new ideas and/or thoughts, merely stating that you agree/disagree or the peer did a good job is not enough to earn full points. 3. Please note, a paragraph is considered a minimum of 4-6 complete sentences. 4. Students will not be able to see peers' postings before posting their initial post. Once you make your initial post, you are not permitted to edit it more than 10%. If it is discovered that you have done so, you will receive zero points. 5. Cite all sources - all discussion posts must be referenceable, including peer interaction. What this means is that an exact reference must be presented for each discussion post. If you are referencing a textbook or PowerPoint presentation, please include the page and/or slide numbers. While personal knowledge and interaction are important, referenceable material is needed to support your thoughts. o Please keep in mind that citing sources does not mean you can directly copy and paste information from the source and use it as your own. You also cannot only change a few words from a source; all work must be in your own words. If copying/pasting is found or the submission is not in your own words, you will receive a zero - no exceptions. This

also includes replying to peers' postings. Please see EGCC's college catalog for information about academic dishonesty.

I have decided to answer the first question, How would you define ethics? According to Websters 1828 Links to an external site. Ethics is 1. The doctrines of morality or social manners; the science of moral philosophy, which teaches men their duty and the reasons of it. 2. A system of moral principles; a system of rules for regulating the actions and manners of men in society. Here are some common ways people define ethics: 1. As the study of morality: Ethics seeks to understand and justify what is morally right and wrong, good and bad. It asks questions like:  What principles should guide our actions?  What duties do we have to others?  What kind of person should we strive to be? 2. As a system of moral principles: These principles are often based on values like:  Justice: treating everyone fairly and impartially  Respect: upholding the dignity and worth of every individual  Compassion: caring for the well-being of others  Honesty: being truthful and reliable  Responsibility: taking ownership of our actions and their consequences 3. As a practical guide for decision-making: Ethics helps us make choices in challenging situations, especially when faced with conflicting interests or competing values. It provides frameworks for reasoning through ethical dilemmas and finding the best action.
