to craft a statement of your own moral code. 

Assignment Description
This is not a research assignment, but rather an informed self-reflection on what you have learned in the course and how you define your own set of ethical beliefs. You may refer to any of the texts or materials we used in this course if they influenced the formation of your moral code.
Please note:
No one is expected to adhere to a moral or ethical code all the time. The idea is that if you act on your moral code 60-70% of the time, you are doing pretty well. So in formulating your ideas, do not worry about whether or not you can stick to a rigid set of actions and/or beliefs. Rather, think about designing a moral code as creating a set of principles that will guide you in your decision-making and help you ask the right questions when you face a difficult issue.
Format
Length and Format: 5-7 double-spaced pages, 12 pt. font, standard margins
Questions to answer: 
1. In your opinion, what is the most pressing ethical issue of today?
2. What moral code will you use after graduating from college to guide you in your future endeavors?
3. What have you learned in this course that has changed your mind about certain issues, or given you insight you did not have before?

I  wanted to give you some guidelines for the final essay:

The topics are either questions or statements, so you basically need to discuss the options available (yes, no or proposal 1, proposal 2 ), supported with evidence based on data, and/ or literature, practical examples are also welcome (countries, companies) and then propose a conclusion.

This is what I am going to look at for the grading.

I hope it helps and of course contact me if you have any doubt.
