First, carefully review the discussion of Ethics in section 4-2 from Chapter 4 of your course textbook. Then, be aware that just because an action is legal, it doesn’t automatically mean that the action will be considered to be an “ethical” action. A decision on whether or not and action is ethical depends on the personal perspective and internal “moral compass” of the individual.The request for this assignment has already uploaded. Be careful! any detected use of assignment work by previous or current students in this course will result in a zero on this assignment and potentially failure in the course (this is an ethical issue — honest — directly pertaining to this topic!). If you got done a good job for me . I will give you  extra tip. Thanks for. help

CIS 236-I01 – Ethics Exercise
In situations of ethical dilemmas, there are often no clear-cut “right” or “wrong” answers. Ethical
decision making by professionals working in organizations is generally informed by one or more of
these three sources: the organization’s and/or profession’s written code(s) of ethics, the behavior of
peers in the organization, and one’s own internal “moral compass.”
Be aware that just because situational behavior may be deemed as “unethical” by others that does
not necessarily mean that it is also illegal. Legality and ethics are two different issues. Ethical decision
making potentially presents a challenge on many occasions both in one’s personal life and in one’s
professional life. Decisions viewed as “unethical” by others can damage or end personal relationships
and end otherwise promising and successful professional careers.
This exercise requires you to carefully read and consider the following two scenarios and then state
and defend a position on the “ethical” action that, in your estimation, should be, or have been, taken.
For the personal ethics situation, web-based research on personal ethics may help you to think
through and support your position.
Task 1: Personal Code of Ethics
Create and compose a Personal Code of Ethics. You should find the resources available at
http://www.allaboutphilosophy.org/personal-code-of-ethics-faq.htm to be helpful in forming your
ideas on the potential structure of this. It is helpful for your statements to begin with “I will.” Your
Personal Code of Ethics must contain a minimum of six statements.
Task 2 – Personal Ethics Scenario Analysis and Response
You are a student currently enrolled in a university course in business. You have recently completed a
challenging research project for a course. Two days before the assigned due date for turning in the
completed research project in the course, another student in the course whom you know casually
from previous courses as well as this one contacts you by email to tell you that she is completely
“lost” in knowing how to approach this project. She asks you to send him a copy of your completed
work so that he can get a better idea of what a completed project looks like. You then send her a
copy.
One week after the projects have been submitted, the course professor contacts you to let you know
that you and another student in the course have submitted completed projects that are very nearly
identical both in content and structure. The professor tells you that this constitutes a breach of
academic honesty according to the university policy included in the course syllabus and that you will
fail the course as a result.
Ethically, what should you have done in this situation when asked to share a copy of your completed
work? Is there any way that you think that you may persuade the professor to change her mind about
the stated action in relation to ethics (after all, you did do your own work!)? Provide a complete
justification from your Personal Code of Ethics (created in Task 1 of this assignment) for your position.
Task 3 – Professional Ethics Scenario Analysis and Response
You are a realtor and are working with a family looking to buy a home in the area. They have given
you a wish list with detailed specifications of an optimal home for them: a specific school district, one
level, three bedrooms and two baths, 2000 to 2500 square feet, under $200,000, an attached double
garage, and located in a very safe neighborhood as evidenced by a low reported crime rate for the
last three years. You have located and shown them a home that meets all of their specifications. They
have fallen in love with the property and are coming in to your office to write an offer on the
property.
Before they arrive, another realtor in your office mentions in passing that a homicide stemming from
a domestic dispute occurred in that home two years ago. The state real estate law does not require
that fact to be disclosed to potential buyers, so you are not required by law to tell your clients. They
have a short time line for moving and have told you that they don’t want to see any more properties
since this home is perfect for them.
Ethically, what should you do in this situation? Provide a complete justification for your position as
supported by the National Association of Realtors® 2012 Code of Ethics and Standards of Practice .
