Hello trombone enthusiasts !
I'm going to write a 1,000 word essay in the hopes of winning scholarship money. The topic is Ethics. It's a good opportunity for not too many words !
It's due January 20th
I'm looking for some hot topic recommendations !
here are some instructions:
"Submit a 1,000-word maximum essay, double-spaced excluding bibliography.
The essay will highlight what the applicant believes to be the epitome of ethical behavior in his or her focus of study or field of business.
Evaluation will be based on the following criteria:
1. Connection to Applicants Field of Study
2. Discussion of an Ethical Behavior Standard
3. Intellectual Debate or Discussion
4. Mechanics
5. Thesis or position
The ethics competition was created to promote intellectual debate and discussion on ethics as related to students areas of study at UNT, their field of vocation or their avocation. The goal is to stimulate the applicants to new heights of reasoning and self-discipline. The ultimate result will be a higher level of ethical understanding in ones area of study and daily life. It is the hope of the donors that students will recognize and better comprehend the need for a higher understanding of ethics in their personal and professional lives."
thank you for your assistance !

It seem to me that asking for help with this kind of defeats the purpose.

A topic topic? Sourced from the crowd on the ethics of sourcing topics about topics from the crowd ethically? This is going to get existentially existential pretty quick.

I think it fair to sound out ideas or how they might be pursued.
But an essay on ethics... I'm basically unethical so I'm not sure what one would look like.

Here is some food for thought without giving you a topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ethics#Business_ethics
In particular, you might want to focus on the difference between Deontology and Utilitarianism. I took a debate class that most of the groups chose to argue from one of those perspectives, and consequently against the other assuming that the opposition took the other view. You may also wish to do some research on egoism as that is another popular ethical framework. Basically, if you approach an essay from an actual established framework you'll do well. I bet a lot of people won't enter with this knowledge and attempt to build their own framework which probably won't go over too well. Utilitarianism is probably the easiest to argue from (e.g. it is unethical to use engraving software because it puts people out of jobs, etc.) (I'd recommend not using that that one, btw!).
