Legal and Ethical Scenarios

Start your first paragraph here. The introduction should contain five or six sentences.
Although the introduction does not contain all details, it should provide an overall outline of the subtopics you will cover in your paper. The introductory paragraph should give the reader a good understanding of what they will learn from your paper. The best way to use this template is to read through the entire document first. Delete each section as you fill it in with your own content. This template is formatted to meet APA’s requirements of 12 pt font and double spacing between the lines. When you delete the sections one at a time, you will see that your work is formatted properly. For Weeks 1,2, and 4, the papers should be between 2 and 4 pages, not including the cover and reference pages. Select two of the three scenarios. If you are repeating the class, select one of the scenarios you did not select the first time. Improve on the other scenario.

Scenario 1: Securities

This paragraph addresses the first of two scenarios you selected. Do not copy the scenario into the paper. The title of each scenario provides a hint on where you can find information about the topic. For example, securities are covered in Chapter 45 of the textbook (Twomey et al., 2017). Looking up the term materiality in the index will take you to a specific page in Chapter 45.

Answer the question based on your reading and additional research. Next, you will include supporting details. Your own thoughts are encouraged but look to support your thoughts with credible research from textbooks or library. If you are using outside sources to lend credibility to your details, this is where you should include them; most importantly, this is also where you use in-text citations to cite other people’s ideas from your sources (Author’s last name, year of publication, page numbers). More than one paragraph may be needed for some scenarios, so this scenario used two paragraphs as an example. Do not use long block paragraphs. For example, one paragraph might take up a one-third of a page but not a whole page. Use more than one paragraph as needed to fully address the assignment.

Scenario 3: Shareholder Rights

In this paragraph, address the second scenario selected. The title of the scenario points to Chapter 44 in the textbook (Twomey et al., 2017). Check the footnotes. For this specific question, you may find several footnotes that contain names of cases (Wal-Mart Stores, Inc. v. Indiana Electrical Worker, 2014). Take the names of the cases and conduct a search on the Internet. There may be information in those cases that can be used as support for the answer to the question. You must read the case to find the information that applies. Not all cases in the book will be related to the scenario.

Conclusion

A conclusion is usually needed for most papers. For this class, a conclusion is not necessary to unless your instructor specifically requires it, as you will have provided enough information in the answers to both scenarios. Check formatting, spelling, word use and citations before submitting to the dropbox. Within 5 to 10 minutes of submission, a Turnitin score will be posted. Log back into the dropbox, click on the score and review.  Turnitin does not catch all problems, but it will alert you to some text that may not be properly cited or not identified with quotation marks.    Revisions and resubmissions are allowed until 11:59 pm MT on the day the assignment is due unless your instructor allows additional time.

Below are examples to help you with formatting your references. Be sure to delete these examples before submitting your paper. However, the last two references may be helpful.
