Women’s roles and the treatment of women in any cultural period or religious belief system you wish to examine.

Begin Writing: General Outline for your paper. Your paper must address all four of the sections below.Describe the situation/problemThe reader needs to have a clear understanding of the ethical issue. The reader must become aware of what the issue is, who was involved, and why it was an “ethical” problem – that is, a problem that has a distinct moral dimension. You can begin with a direct answer to each of these questions or you can begin by sharing quotes from people who have already studied and written about the situation. Or you can present a question: “Why would anyone do X” or “How is it possible for a culture to have such great art and yet such sexism, or racism, etc? But do try to be specific. Don’t just “lob” a general judgement around – these were bad people – these were good people – these were products of their time. Statements like this are too general. One way to be specific is to discuss and describe specific laws, value systems, codes of conduct, works of art, works of literature; even a building.This section sets the tone for the reader to think of the problem while he or she reads the rest of the case study. This also sets the expectation that you will be presenting information the reader can use to further understand the situation.Historical BackgroundHistorical Background is the specific information you discover that describes the date or time period and some key features of the culture in which this ethical problem occurred. Did this culture have the same religious, moral, and legal codes as we do? If not, how did their ideas of morality differ? Did they have the same concept of equality and justice? If not, how did their ideas differ from ours? What about the personal beliefs and character of any specific individuals involved? Were they just products of a different culture, or flawed characters, or both?Evaluation of the Ethical IssueIn this section you give the reader information that they can use to come to their own conclusions. Provide information and evidence. Look at the issue from several different angles. Use quotes from your sources to show how scholars have “judged” the ethical issue you are investigating. Suggest ways that the ethical issue can be solved or, if not solved, dealt with in a responsible mannerSummary and ConclusionsA good case study doesn’t tell the readers what to think. It guides the reader through the thought process used to come to conclusions. The readers may come to their own conclusions or find fault in the logic being presented. That’s okay because there may be more than one to the problem. The readers will have their own perspective and background as they read the case study. Your summary should recount, in simple, condensed form, the investigation that you have conducted and your own opinion. You should then ask the reader to draw his or her conclusions. guides the reader through the information to the solution that was implemented.Reminders and tips to keep in mind when writing:Tell the whole storyCase study-writing is about telling the story of a problem that has been fixed.The focus is on the evidence for the problem and the approach used to create a solution.The writing style guides the readers through the problem analysis as if they were part of the project.The result is a case study that can be both entertaining and educational.Addressing ethical conceptsWhen possible, use and describe “ethical” language. Terms and Concepts such as:Inequality, injustice, physical harm, suffering, racism, sexism, torture, sexual misconduct, exploitation, and so on are all “ethical” in this sense – but these terms and concepts must be EXPLAINED and ANALYZED (not just lobbed in there).
