Develop an understanding of how ethics and ethical decision making can be researched and how that research can contribute with direct guidance to practitioners on making ethical decisions.

This assignment is to help you develop an understanding of how ethics and ethical decision making can be researched and how that research can contribute with direct guidance to practitioners on making ethical decisions.

Step 1. You will search for and select a paper from the list in the papers to review folder. Each paper has a short description to help you in your choice. Read the paper in full at least two times to ensure you have understood the existing research on which the paper was based, the specific research question, the methodology and data analysis, the findings and the conclusions the authors came to

Step 2. Write a 1 -2 page summary of the paper. Remember that in doing so you should assume your reader does not know the paper and you are explaining to them why it was done (existing research, the specific research question) , what was done, (the methodology and data analysis), and what was found (results and conclusions).

Step 3. Write a 1-2 page guidance note to practitioners to whom the findings are relevant. For example, if you reviewed a paper about consent in children you would address the guidance to psychologists working in that area, if you selected one on corruption in business you might aim the guidance note at accountants. State your target group clearly

The guidance note should identify and define an ethical issue that the knowledge gained from the paper can address, say what ethical principles are involved and why, describe how the knowledge from the paper can be applied to decision making about that issue, and tell the practitioner how to use that knowledge in their daily work.
