Ethics final

This project is an academic book review of a text of your choice that deals with at least one ethical subject. This can be a review of an explicitly ethical text (e.g., Hannah Arendts The Origins of Totalitarianism) or a text that deals with ethical issues/subjects implicitly (e.g., a novel, graphic novel, poem, etc.). The review should be approximately 3-5 pages (double spaced, 12 point font, any professional citation method).

Include the following information:

1. The name of your source

2. A brief summary of the ethical subject your source material presents

3. A brief analysis of the problem (For example, what solution(s) does the text bring to the subject? What complications does it bring? Is the source correct in its assumptions/presentation of the ethical subject at hand? Is it a text that you would recommend to others? Why or why not?)

You are not required to purchase any text for this assignment. There are a number of ways to find a text for this assignment if you are having trouble locating a source. For one, we have a library that you could utilize. As another option, you could use a text that you already own. As yet another option, you could find a free online text. Here is a list of free online books from which to choose:
