Ethics
Often, when one thinks of ethical perspectives in the workplace, the focus tends to be on theories such as utilitarianism and egoism. While there is certainly a place for these two theories in the workplace, there remains a whole world of different perspectives and systems.
For this deliverable, you will be creating a pamphlet that highlights Eastern Ethical Systems and their benefits within the workplace. Your pamphlet will need to address the following topics:
A description of Buddhism and Confucianism.
Key ethical themes that run through each of these traditions.
Describe similarities and differences between the two traditions.
Relate themes of Buddhism and Confucianism common themes within American culture.
Describe features of the ethical perspectives of Buddhist and Confucian traditions that would be beneficial within a workplace/community.
The pamphlet that you are creating will vary in length. Draw attention to your pamphlet by using well-placed art, an easy to read design with your content, and effective use of color.
If you’re new to using Microsoft Office (Word, Publisher, PowerPoint) for creating promotional or advertising materials, we recommend starting with the following steps:
1. After opening Microsoft Word, Publisher, or PowerPoint click on File.
2. In the New area, either search for “brochure”, “poster”, etc. (whatever type of document you are developing) or click on Business.
3. In the Category area on the right side of the screen, select Marketing.
4. Choose from the available templates.
5. Once you’ve selected the template you wish to work with, you can begin “trading out” the sample information in the template for the information specific to your product. You can remove or replace nearly every element in the template. For images, right click on the object and choose change picture. For text, left click in the text box where you want your cursor to appear; you can then delete text and rewrite/edit/add text. You can also change items like font, colors, and resize boxes, images, and text.
