Priests guilty of pedophilia-Research Paper

Researched Ethical Argument about how it was unethical that the priests guilty of pedophilia were relocated to different congregations instead of being held liable for their actions – Research Paper

For my ethical argument I wanted to focus on how the decisions made to relocate the priests and bishops that were guilty of pedophilia were transferred to other congregations instead of being made to resign. I must have an annotated bibliography, outline, work cited page and copies of the 4 sources used. I have pasted the requirements of the paper for your reference. If you have any questions please contact me.
Paper Three: Researched Ethical Argument
Description & Requirements

The Assignment: Compose a 4-6 page Researched Ethical Argument exploring the issue of justice (or injustice) surrounding a historical event. Support the ethical claim with 2-4 good reasons and fairly consider and respond to opposing views. There are many kinds of history, and almost any one of them might provide a suitable subject for this assignment: political history, economic history, religious history, intellectual history, military history, environmental history, literary history, art history, urban history, historical geography, etc. The number of potential historical subjects is infinite. Of course, your topic, whatever it is, must deal with the issue of justice (whether something is ethical or unethical, fair or unfair, just or unjust), and you must formulate a thesis that has to do with justice. Included with this assignment sheet is a list of ideas and, though it may seem quite long, it is really no more than a small sampling of the many topics you might choose for your historical essay. You may certainly come up with another topic on your own. For this paper, you may need to begin your research with generalized sources, such as encyclopedias, but you should use the information that you find in an encyclopedia to direct you to more thorough, detailed academic sources. Encyclopedias are still unacceptable as cited sources in your academic papers; therefore, you may not borrow in any way from an encyclopedia in the course of your Ethical Argument.

Other Requirements

Organization Requirement: This paper should follow the form of a classical argument utilizing an introduction, body, and conclusion (outlined below).

Length Requirements: 4 full pages-6 pages, not including Title Page, Notes Page, or Works Cited page

Source Requirements: You must use a minimum of four secondary sources in Paper Three. You may also use primary sources (original work: first hand reports of experiments, observations, interviews, surveys, field research documents, letters, novels, poems, shorts stories, autobiographies) but these will not count towards your minimum of four secondary sources. Secondary sources report, describe, comment on, or analyze someone else’s work. Critical journal articles, critical books, newspaper articles, and magazine articles are all excellent examples of secondary sources. You may not use an encyclopedia of any kind as a source in your Researched Argument. Simon & Schuster’s Handbook for Writers explains this well when it says “Reference works [like encyclopedias] are the starting point for many college and other advanced researchers—but they’re no more than a starting point. General reference works by themselves are insufficient for academic research” (527). You may use encyclopedias to develop a working knowledge of your topic, but then you should use that working knowledge to find better academic sources for your actual argument. Dictionary references do not count toward your minimum requirement of four secondary sources.

Only one website source may be used towards the minimum requirement of four secondary sources for this paper and I would recommend choosing this website (if you even want to use one) with discernment and caution. You want to make sure that you’re getting reputable information. Sources from a newspaper’s website will be considered as an internet source or a web source. For a newspaper article to count as a “print” source, it must come from a physical newspaper or from a database. You may use more than one website if you use more than four sources.

This means that at least three of your required sources must have originated in print. Sources that originated in print are things like books, magazine articles, newspaper articles, and professional journal articles. If you actually hold the physical copy of the book, magazine, newspaper, or journal, then you know you have a print source. However, many sources that originated in print are now stored electronically in databases for easy access and use.

Electronically stored sources (such as materials from databases) are acceptable as print sources long as the source was originally in print at some point. Any question or doubt about a source’s origin in print should be taken up with the instructor prior to depending on the source or incorporating it into the paper. You may consider ANY article that you find in the following database services to be a “print” source: EBSCOhost, Newsbank, Gale, ProQuest, or JSTOR.

Format Requirements: Use Chicago Style (CMS) as explained in the Quick Access: Reference for Writers handbook and in the supplementary readings for Week Fourteen. Students are also required to use 12 pt. Times New Roman font.

Failure to include ALL necessary in text citations (notes) and to list ALL sources on the Works Cited page may result in failure for Paper Three. You MUST strictly adhere to Chicago documentation guidelines and accurately document ALL sources for this paper.

•    Help the reader understand the historical context for the argument.

II. State Reason One: .
•    Provide evidence (in the form of research or personal experience) to prove the validity of reason one.
•    Remember that evidence must be explained/ developed for the reader.

III. State Reason Two: .
•    Provide evidence (in the form of research or personal experience) to prove the validity of reason one.
•    Remember that evidence must be explained/ developed for the reader.

IV. State Reason Three: .

Other Elements of Your Ethical Argument

Introductory Paragraph: Begin with an introduction that grabs the reader’s attention, provides a bit of background and context, and clearly states the ethical thesis for this paper.

Opposing Views: Opposing views can be considered and responded to in many different areas of the paper. It’s up to you to decide when and where to handle them. You may want to handle opposing views early in the paper, after the background information. It may be that there is an opposing view for each reason that you state in the paper, or it may be that opposing views come from a completely different area and need to be handled in their own paragraph near the end of the paper. This is up to you.

Conclusion: You will need a concluding paragraph. Do not mix opposing views into the conclusion. Do not discuss new reasons or new evidence in the conclusion. Instead, try to reinforce your main idea and end with a creative concluding strategy.
