You can also see how an example of how to organize Paper #2 here Paper #2 format.docx but remember, your final product will NOT have numerals, letters, or bullets to designate each section.

● Give your paper an appropriate title (not “Paper #2)
● Clearly number or letter each code of conduct in your list
● Clearly list that code of conduct in your introduction using the letter or number system you assigned
● Refer to that code by letter or number as you discuss/apply later in the paper. Try to avoid repeating the code itself (use and refer to it by the number or letter instead) throughout the ethical theory sections.
● All codes must be discussed at least once in an ethical theory section. This means at the end of the paper, each code should have been related to at least 1 ethical theory in the pape
Step 3 Prompt: A Professional Code of Conduct
This paper will include a set of five to ten principles (created by you) that, combined together, provide a code of conduct for YOU in the role YOU plan to fulfill in your professional life. You may focus on a code of conduct as the professional you will be or you may address a code of conduct you will share with your staff or co-workers in your professional role, i.e. owning a retail company, managing a veterinary clinic, etc. You should begin by researching codes of conduct that exist for people in your position, either by personally inquiring or by doing online research. You may use some of these in your code of conduct but you must add your own to put your stamp on it. The code of conduct can NOT be copied entirely from another source. The sources you find should be referenced appropriately (including any codes your borrow from another source). Please list this set of codes that you create for yourself clearly in the introduction or just after the introduction so that they are easily identified.
Once you have established the codes of conduct, you must discuss what ethical theory (or theories) apply or reject each code. This should be the main focus of the paper. You must discuss at least 3 separate ethical theories.
Within the paper, you may also discuss the reasons for your code of conduct choices indicating the overall intent of your code in its entirety.
THE MAIN POINT OF THE PAPER IS TO APPLY ETHICAL THEORY. PLEASE USE THE RUBRIC AS YOU WRITE YOUR PAPER FOR POINT ALLOCATIONS. YOU MUST APPLY 3 ETHICAL THEORIES TO THE CODE OF CONDUCT YOU ESTABLISH.
This means thoroughly defining each theory with at least 2 separate, credible sources and then step by step explaining how the issue applies or rejects an ethical theory.
