How to Write an Ethics Essay Writing an essay for ethics is a little different from oTher essays. the main reason is That your arguments must be very tight and present sound logic and moral reasoning based on The eThicalTheories (utliTarianism, social conTracTualism, divine command, naTuralism, eTc…) presenTed in The course. Below are The basic requiremenTs of an eThics essay. ²o receive a passing grade (D),your essay musT have all componenTs easily ident³able in your paper. Your grade will increase based on how well you presenT your logic and apply The eThical Theories To your Thesis (wiTh ciTed supporT as needed) a´er The minimum requiremenTs for The essay are meT.1)Your essay should have ³ve paragraphs. Double-spaced, ²imes New Roman 12 pT fonT, 1inch margins. IT should have your name and secton number on iT. All oTher writng sTandards should follow MLA formaT. (If your essay does noT conform To These sTandards,iT will be reduced in poinTs.)2)Your ³rsT paragraph is where you provide The inTroducton of your eThical dilemma. ²his should be The background surrounding The moral siTuaton abouT which you will be writng (no more Than six To eighT senTences should be necessary). Your ³nal senTence should be your eThical Thesis.3)An ethical thesisis a li±le diFerenT from a Thesis for a diFerenT kind of essay. Your eThical Thesis musT have Three componenTs. IT musT have an agenT (The person whose actons/behavior you will be discussing), an acton (The speci³c acton of The agenT undermoral review), and your judgmenT (do you Think iT is okay/noT okay, righT/wrong). a.Example: LeT’s say ThaT I have been sTruggling wiTh The moraliTy of Taking candy from a co-workers desk. My inTroducton paragraph mighT look like This….I currently work at XYZ publishing. In our ofce, we oFen share resources to get the job done. Bill likes to keep his ±avorite candy on his desk to help him get through the day. SomeTmes, I get hungry in the aFernoon, so I sneak some o± the candy ±rom his desk without him knowing. Bill is oFen upset when he discovers that his candy is gone. ²or me to steal candy ±rom Bill’s desk is not okay.b.²he underlined porton is The Thesis sTaTemenT. IT should be a simple senTence in which The agenT = me, The acton = sTealing candy, & my judgmenT = noT okay are clearly presenTed. ²he ³ve senTences before The Thesis simply provide The back ground for The issue.4)²he nexT Three paragraphs ThaT follow should each presenT a diFerenT eThical Theory supportng The Thesis. Each paragraph should have a Topic senTence ThaT clearly and correcTly ident³es and de³nes The eThical Theory being appealed (capiTalizeThe names of The eThical frameworks and eiTher bold or italicizeThem).a.Example: ³here are many reasons why I should not steal candy ±rom Bill’s desk. According to the ethical theory o± Kant’s Categorical ImperaTve, the moral thing is to live by those maxims that I would will as a principle o± moral living ±or all people. I have oFen been upset because, there are certain pens that I like to write with and I spend my own money to make sure those pens are on my desk. I expect people not to take those things that I have expressly purchased ±or my own use ±rom my desk. Since I don’t want people stealing my pens because they

are mine, Bill also has the same expectaTon. By stealing his candy, I am going against my own maxim of not wanTng others to steal from me. ±his contradicTon between my expectaTon and my acTons according to Kant shows that my stealing Bill’s candy is not okay and thus immoral.b.This would be my frst “body” paragraph. It correctly defnes the theory I am using to help me think through my issue, and my logic in the paragraph reveals how the theory guides my thoughts. The next two body paragraphs would do the same thing except with diFerent ethical theories. Please note that when applying the Divine Command Theory you need to support your asser±ons with scriptural or doctrinal evidence (i.e. a quota±on or teaching).5)The fnal paragraph is the conclusion. It should re-state your ethical thesis, and close the essay on some kind o² “a³en±on-grabbing” or “memorable” way that ±es the en±re essay together. O´en an applicable quote, sta±s±c or anecdote serves the purpose.a.Example: In conclusion, because of Kant’s categorical imperaTve, uTlitarianism, and social contractualism, it is apparent that for me to conTnue to steal Bill’s candy from his desk is the wrong thing to do. Sir Francis Bacon has said, “Opportunity makes a thief.” ±hat is indeed what I have become in my o²ce, and I know that I do not want to be known as that. Hunger is no excuse for not asking Bill’s permission.b.The fnal paragraph does not need to be as long as the previous ²our, but it should do a good job o² closing your argument. Brieµy remind the reader o² the ²rameworks you employed in your argument. Also note that I used a quote ²rom Sir ¶rancis Bacon. That quote would need to be cited as such. You do not need to have a Bibliography page, however, i² you quote a saying, a state, a report, or anything else, please cite it in the paragraph as I did or use either ²ootnotes or endnotes according to MLA style. Other than a quote you could have an anec- dote or possibly a sta±s±c or two; anything to give your conclusion a “pop”. YOUR ESSAYS WILL BE SUBMITTED TO OUR ONLINE PLAGERISM DATABASE.

Your grade will depend not on your personal expression, but on how well you can express your moral reasoning in a compelling, competent, and clear manner through an academic essay. Once again, a passing essay will have only fve paragraphs, a clear and correct thesis, and will support the thesis using three diFerent ethical theories in the body o² the essay. I² I cannot iden±²y these components or they are incorrectly presented (ex. defning a theory incorrectly or missing a clear agent ²rom the thesis) the essay will be downgraded.7)The scenarios you are to use ²or your essay are to come ²rom oneo² the CASES ¶OR ANALYSIS at the end o² each chapter (Chapters 9-11 & 13), your choice. The ±tle o² the Case ²or Analysis you use should be the ±tle o² your essay.Read the case, break it down into simple points and create your introduc±on paragraph (no more than six to eight sentences should be necessary), ending with your thesis statement o² course
