With R.U.R., Children of the NewWorld, or Black Mirror as your exhibit text, what role does/can literature (or film,for Black Mirrors case) function as when engaging with 21st century businessethics? How might literatureboth broadly conceived as well as more particularlywith your chosen exhibit texthelp illuminate, problematize, hinder or advancecontemporary conceptions of business ethics in an increasingly mechanized anddigitalized business world?You are strongly encouraged to connect the themes of your exhibit text to a currenttrend in 21st century business, entrepreneurship, and technology; for example, ifyour exhibit text were Mary Shelleys Frankenstein, perhaps you would connect thenovels themes to current trends in genomic research and questions concerningdesigner babies, making an argument that Shelleys novel functions as a cautionarytale for not merely the unchecked hubris of scientists/engineers but rather, perhaps,unregulated markets abroad and the human species at large.Regardless of your papers connection between exhibit text and backgroundmaterials, your paper must make an argument about the thematic statement ofthe exhibit text and must do so by incorporating appropriate engagements with(and proper citations of) Background sources, Exhibit sources, andArgumentative sources as follows: At least one peer reviewed academic article (Argument). At least two articles from the New York Times, Boston Globe, Wall StreetJournal, or Washington Post (Background). At least one book review of exhibit text (Background/Argument) Multiple direct quotes and references to the text (Exhibit)
