Ethics Assignment Due Sunday, November 5 at 11:45 p.m. Required Read the case study, “Carolyn’s Dilemma,” and write a one-page, single-spaced essay that answers the questions at the end of the case in the context of the essay. Expository Essays The type of essay you will be writing is often referred to as an expository essay. One of the key elements of expository essays is conciseness. This essay is limited to one page in length. I will stop reading after one page, so only include what really needs to be said. Do not attempt to circumvent this requirement by using narrow margins, small fonts, etc. One-inch margins are required, and a standard font (such as Times New Roman 12) must be used. Make sure your line spacing is single space with no additional spacing between lines. Skip a line between paragraphs. Please note that you must submit an essay that answers the questions at the end of the case, not a list of answers to the questions. Purdue OWL provides a good resource for writing these essays. Their section on expository essays (http://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/685/02/) explains some of the important parts of this type of essay. I also recommend looking over the sections on “Conciseness” on the left side of the page. These resources can help if you find yourself having difficulty keeping your essay to one page. Another excellent resource is the Saunders Writing Center in 323 Plant Hall. You can get more information about the center, including its hours, at http://www.ut.edu/academicsupport/saunders/. Submission Instructions Your document must be saved as a Microsoft Word file (“.doc” or “.docx”) that is named lastname.docx. For example, I would name my submission Shirley.docx. You must submit your completed assignment to both “Ethics Assignment” links on the Blackboard site for our course no later than 11:45 p.m. on Sunday, November 5. I will not grade late assignments under any circumstances. This is an individual assignment. I will use Turnitin.com to check the originality of your submission. Failure to do your own work or to protect your document from others is a violation of the University of Tampa’s Academic Integrity Policy. Questions 1. Identify and briefly explain three negative consequences Carolyn might face by purchasing the resources from an online auction or some source other than the original vendor. Which one do you think would be the most negative and why? 2. Explain why you think it would be justifiable for Carolyn to purchase the materials from an online auction or other source. 3. Other than Carolyn, Becker, and other sellers, identify three stakeholders who would be impacted by the decision that Carolyn makes, and explain how each of these stakeholders would be affected.

Introduction

from an online vendor is pushing her mother to financial constraint. This is because the costs of
the resources form the available vendor is almost a whole months’ income of her mother. This
means that her mother is not in a position to purchase the review resources form the original
vendors and thus must find an alternative for Carol to have the review materials.
Secondly, such a decision would mean that her mother would not be in a position to pay for her
