Working on Part 3 of BTS 1
2/18/2009

Remember that these are your three required sections of BTS 1: Writing a How To on dealing with an ethnical dilemma in the work place…

1) Describe a hypothetical ethical scenario:
- Use of detail to give a clear picture of the ethical dilemma
- Use character names for employees so we know roles in the scenario
- Make sure the actual ethical dilemma is clearly explained

2) Define and explain the ethical dilemma:
- Use of one or more of expanded definition tools (Chapter 9, p. 181-185)

3) Provide a detailed solution(s):
- What method(s) do you use? Clearly explain each method.
- Give step-by-step directions to method (review p. 139 and 144 to help you with an “organization pattern” in writing out your solution)

Our day’s goal is to take steps towards fleshing out the solution, first in content by writing out a detailed solution. Then our second task is to work on format using the PARTITION organizational pattern (p. 139, 182). To do so, the following exercises will help:

A) What is your solution? What are the steps necessary to take to make sure that the dilemma is dealt with properly? Ultimately, it is up to you to come up with the number of steps of resolution, thinking about the scenario. However, there should be at least 3 general steps taken, and each step should be clearly identified and then explained.

- First, outline each the steps simply by labeling them. For instance, the first step might be “address the issue firsthand,” and the second step might be to “discuss code of conduct” and the third step might be “discuss job consequences of behavior.” Rather than rely on these, though, I’d like you to have your own steps. Even these above don’t feel complete to me. I might even break down these three into more steps.

- Write out your steps, first, within paragraph form using transitional phrases and multiple, but concise, paragraphs to indicate each step. Provide examples or provide good explanation of each steps.

- After doing the two above tasks, begin to partition the steps by starting off with the label for each step and then after each label put the detailed, example-filled explanation. You may use numbering or bullet points.
