Description

This report is based on the following requirement -
Description: A written analysis (2500 words) of a complex ethical problem similar to that which you might encounter in the IT industry.  Using the Ethical Decision Model as outlined in the textbook, analyze the situation and arrive at a rational course of action. Your reasoning should be made clear (show how you arrived at the decision, don't just present the decision). You should make reference to the Normative Ethical Theories (as outlined in text) as part of your analysis.   You are free to mention any other content from the text that you see fit to use.  
This assignment is the first part of a two part assignment. In the second part (which is due later) the problem scenario is extended to a later time and you will perform a similar analysis on that more complex situation. The first part leads into the second part.
To help you understand the task:
• Analyze the case study, making use of the Ethical Decision Making Model as provided in the text book. Your analysis should include the points of view of the main characters (Erika, Jason and Elizabeth). 
• Synthesize the findings of your analysis into a prioritized set of conclusions for each of the main characters, and
• Evaluate and present your conclusions to determine what would be the ethical course of action for Erika, Jason and Elizabeth?
Watch the How To Video (15 Min).
Criteria & Marking: Your result be determined based on: 
• How deep your analysis went using the EDM (there are subtle issues that an in-depth analysis will find), 
• How valid your supporting arguments were, 
• Other supporting material from text, 
• How well it is all presented (clear, concise, grammatically correct, use of template), and
• No more than 10% duplicate text reading on TurnitIn (due to copying from the Case Study and other sources including external sources - the work MUST be your own).
