I need help with a Social Science question. All explanations and answers will be used to help me learn.

Getting Started

During the course of your graduate program of study, you will be introduced to many business disciplines requiring many types of insight and decisions. Listening to the words of many different people who speak the different languages of their discipline and their culture will be necessary. As we listen and make business decisions, our moral and ethical foundation must be preeminent. Developing a personal ethical statement is the first step in making ethical decisions.

Throughout this course, you have worked on the various components of your personal ethics framework. These pre-writing assessments and assignments were designed to help you measure performance with respect to important ethical behaviors, skills, or concepts discussed throughout the course.

The ability to make ethical decisions in the increasing multi-cultural work environment requires is an important skill for the global manager. As we listen and make business decisions, our moral and ethical foundation must be preeminent. Developing a personal ethical statement is the first step in making ethical decisions.

The most potent defense against erosion of ethics is a robust, pre-determined ethical framework for personal decisions. This assignment will lead you through the process of establishing your personal framework for ethical decisions.

Upon successful completion of this assignment, you will be able to:

• Evaluate one’s personal ethical standards and create a personal/professional framework to guide decision making compatible with a Christian world-view.
• Select the appropriate and ethical response to a crisis.
• Synthesize the interrelatedness of biblical principles and the ethical and legal fabrics in American society.

Resources

• Bible (New International Version)
• Textbook: Meeting the Ethical Challenges of Leadership

Background Information

In Romans 12:2 (New International Version), you are told: “Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – His good, pleasing and perfect will.” Though it is not likely that Paul anticipated social media sites such as Facebook, it is clear that God did. Paul, however, experienced many of the same challenges you face with today’s media, just at a different pace. In this study, we will examine potential responses to organizational crises catalyzed by social media.
