HERE IS THE INTRUCTIONS

The Group Case Project will be a demonstration of your mastery of collaborative writing skills. A case will be selected from your Hosmer textbook or another source (as determined by your instructor). You will be assigned to a group, and your group will collaborate on the development of your ethics-based Group Case Project on the Group Discussion Board Forums. A group will normally consist of 3–4 individuals.

During Module/Week 2, each group will be designated by the instructor and will begin reviewing and discussing the organizational process of developing the case project. The format and method for solving the case must be based on the steps of Hosmer’s analytical process model (as outlined in Ethics of Management: A Multidisciplinary Approach). Each group must select a leader for the project and determine the role of each group member. Only the group leader will submit the outline under “Course Tools/SafeAssign.” The outline will specify the determined roles of the group members as well as the sections of the paper that will be developed. The outline must be detailed.

The central idea of the project is to apply the Hosmer analytical model—understand all moral standards, recognize all moral impacts, define the complete moral problem, determine the economic outcomes, consider the legal requirements, evaluate the ethical duties, and propose a convincing moral solution—to the questions at the end of your case; only apply those elements from the Hosmer model that are relevant. Each of the elements of the model that you include must become a Level 1 heading in your paper.

Generally, each member of the group takes a section of the paper; the leader then brings all the sections together and performs final editing before submitting the final, single paper. Only the group leader will submit the final paper under “Course Tools/SafeAssign.” Each participant must email the instructor his or her contribution to the paper as evidence of participation. In the end, you must propose a convincing moral solution in your paper, based on the Hosmer model, so that the reader is persuaded to your way of thinking.

As this is a paper that requires research, it must be written in third person. All 7 sources must be of a scholarly nature; acceptable sources include either textbooks or journal articles from peer-reviewed journals. The final paper must be 5–7 pages.

Note: It is required that each member of the group will participate in the Group Case Project. Failure to participate in the group processes will result in a penalty from the group score.

Submit the Group Case Project - Outline via SafeAssign by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 2.

Submit the Group Case Project - Final via SafeAssign by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Monday of Module/Week 6.

Please review over the completed outline below they are labeled by group names. The only thing we are doing is just editing what I did wrong on my part I SENT that separtly so you can see. Because what I wrote it looks as if I was discussing a broad range of moral problems from my portion name under Krystal. I believe we are supposed to define and discuss the specific moral problem related to this case which is health and obesity Which is on the 1st page.
