There is one essay due no later than the end of week seven. Students are encouraged to submit the essay before the due date.

Essay topic: Discuss the legal and ethical issues surrounding Solyndra, the California based solar panel manufacturer.  You will need to research the company through the University library. Incorporate two to three specific laws that apply to the situation and two to three general legal concepts that were discussed in the required readings.  Discuss how the philosophy of economist Milton Friedman may have influenced the executives of the company. In addition, identify an ethical framework other than Free Market Ethics that applies to this situation and discuss how it may have influenced the executives of the company.  Your essay should be 1800 – 2450 words and in APA format.  Use at least seven credible sources for your essay, including at least two sources from the University library. Submit this essay as a Microsoft Word attachment in the Assignmentsection of the class, no later than Sunday of week seven.   

You must support your statements with materials from the text, as well as outside research.  Cite your sources in APA format.  A great source for those unfamiliar with APA formatting is http://www.apastyle.org/learn/tutorials/basics-tutorial.aspx.  All material must be appropriately cited with an in-text citation (author, date) and a reference page listing.

Please do not name your file “Solyndra.docx.”  Please include your last name in the file name. For instance, if your name is Jane Smith  your document should be saved as “Smith_JSolyndra.docx”

Unoriginal Content: 

Your essay may contain no more than 10% quotes from other sources.  Paraphrase what you read instead of copying and pasting.   You may not re-use work that you have submitted in previous classes. All work in this class must be original.

Essays that contain more than 50% unoriginal content will not earn any credit.  Essays that contain between 10% – 49% unoriginal content will receive a substantial point deduction.  Paraphrase instead of copying and pasting. Please note there is a difference between unoriginal content and plagiarism.  Unoriginal content is correctly quoted and cited.  Plagiarized sentences and paragraphs are not correctly quoted or cited. Plagiarism will result in an automatic zero for this assignment.
