Minimum of three external references. Indicate appropriate APA source citations for all sources you use.

Reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.

Prepare a 4-6 page, double-spaced paper with your Ethical Matrix and your Organizational or Personal Policy (if not in the job force).

Paper B: a matrix mapping of a key IT-related organizational (or personal) ethical issue concerning privacy and organizational policy designed to correct the ethical issue.

Analyze a key IT-related organizational (or personal, if you are not in the job force) ethical issue, related to privacy, subject to relevant laws, regulations, and policies. 

Both of the following sites provide sources, and an excellent backdrop for issues relating to privacy protection and the law.

See EPIC Privacy Issues at:  http://epic.org/privacy/  See List on left and/or:  EFF Privacy at https://www.eff.org/issues/privacy  [see list below in center on this page].

Use the template below and the list of suggested workforce privacy topics from one of the sites above to produce a matrix to map a key organizational ethical (or personal, if not in the job force) issue and how this issue is affected by laws, regulations, and policies.

Use the list of normative ethics below to help you complete the matrix.

Choose any three (only three) of the following list of twelve (12) principles of normative ethics described below.

Prepare the Ethical Issue matrix (single-space in the cells) and include the following explanation (200 words) —double-space your narrative—below the matrix:

  • Why you chose the dilemma;
  • Why you chose the three principles; and
  • An analysis of the research used to identify the actions in the matrix.

The completed matrix allows you to weigh the different issues involved and assign a rank as to the importance of the actions based on the effect on the stakeholders.

Indicate appropriate APA in-text and source citations for all sources.  In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your assignment should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.
