And then…
The articles and videos you’ve read and watched fall at the intersection of business, ethics, and the environment — a complex and complicated space. This assignment calls for you to write an essay responding to what you’ve read.
I am purposefully leaving it up to you to decide how you wish to frame your response to these articles and videos and what you want to focus on or highlight. If you disagree with anything you read, that’s fine — find solid evidence to back up your position and make the argument against it. Whatever you do, be sure that you integrate and address at least several of the readings in your essay and that you lay out and support a coherent argument (Links to an external site.).
This is to be structured as AN ESSAY. and your essay must be between 450 and 550 words, double spaced, in 12 pt. font (I prefer Georgia, but you using it isn’t a must). You will be penalized for being long or short of the 450 to 550 word count range. DO NOT include words in the cover page and references section in your word count.
Be sure and cite any external references (articles, videos, etc.) you draw from to support any arguments you make in your essay, using APA format. Your response will be checked for plagiarism, so be sure you don’t do any copy/pasting and that you put “quotations marks” around any direct quotes that you might include in your essay.
Include a COVER PAGE that includes your name and the WORD COUNT for your essay, not counting the cover page or REFERENCES SECTION, which should be included if you are incorporating ideas or evidence from any readings/videos/etc. other than those listed above. References are to be in APA format (Links to an external site.), as noted above.
