Application Paper AssignmentChapter 3 – Philosophical Ethics and BusinessAfter reading Business Ethics Chapter 3 and reviewing the Guidelines for Application Papers, use the Reality Check (Virtues in Everyday Language) on page 95 and the Reality Check (Where Do Virtues Come From?) on page 98 to craft an academic paper that addresses the following:
What are two or three virtues (character traits) that you think are most important in our personal lives and in our business affairs, and explain why you selected those?
In your opinion, how are character traits formed and conditioned? Can virtue be taught? Why or why not?
What is/are the source(s) of your virtues? How did you acquire them, and how have they developed over time?
Use the attached file (APA (7th Ed) Template for Student Papers) for your document.

Guidelines for Application Papers (Spring 2024)
Application papers facilitate deliberate thinking on the assigned topic. Each application paper is to provide a substantial treatment of the topic. It should be two to three full pages in length. Use the template provided by the instructor, which is set with 12-point Times New Roman font, paragraph indents, double-line spacing, and 1-inch margins. In the papers, cite sources in APA style by noting author and year in the text, such as (Smith, 2012). Save the paper as a Microsoft Word document, and submit it by uploading the file in Blackboard.
The application papers for this class have a maximum value of 60 points, and they will be evaluated with the following rubric:

Composition (Structure and development convey a clear case, rather than unsubstantiated opinions)
0 – 7
8 – 15
16 – 24
25 – 30
Timeliness. Timing has value. While the deadline for submission is midnight on Sunday, students can earn extra credit points by submitting papers early. Thus, the maximum point value for timing, 20 points, is achieved by submitting by midnight on Friday. Papers submitted by midnight on Sunday will earn full credit of 10 points, and late papers earn no points for timing. The time stamp in Blackboard is the official clock. As a general policy, papers will lose twenty-five percentage points for every day they are late, and papers submitted later than five days from the due date will not be accepted.
Format. The template in MS Word is provided on Blackboard for students to download and use. Students will find a specific template for each paper in the assignments folder for that week.
