The question is, is it ethical for a typical employer to check personal information on social networking sites of its job applicants and make employment decisions based on this information? What about for current employees?

Step 1. Position choice

Decide what position you want to take on social media for employment decisions; a pro or con position.

Step 2. Paper Writing

Once you have identified the position you want to take (pro or con), you will engage in finding research to support the position taken. Once you identify the research you want to use, you will write up your position in a paper.

Instructions

After you have researched your PRO or CON Social Media Position, you will write a two page minimum position paper arguing the “advantages of social media for employment decisions” or the “disadvantages of social media for employment decisions”.
