Choose a current event that displays ethical behavior and another current event that displays unethical behavior.You are required to provide a thorough discussion for each current event and explain why the behavior was ethical and/or unethical. In the case of the unethical event, what could have been done differently to change the behavior from unethical to ethical? In the case of the ethical event, what was the behavior that you felt displayed ethical guidelines.
* I am not looking for anyone to do my homework for me. I have just been racking my brain to find current events. I have looked everywhere and can't seem to find anything. I was wondering if anyone would know where to find such things. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Having trouble finding current events, eh?
I heartily recommend "The News".
Hope This Helps.

Passing laws that are unconstitutional; spending our grandchildrens' inheritance: unethical. (see: All Democrats and most Republicans)
Writing a bill to curb federal spending and pay off the deficit: ethical. (see: Paul Ryan)
It is the responsibility of every American citizen to own a modern military rifle.
Thinking that letting workers keep more of their pay is unethical is retarded. Thinking that all societies ills can be solved by government is unethical.
Killing inocent people in the Middle East is unethical.
Burning coal to make electricity is unethical.

One can look into the ethics of the attacks in Libya, one could look into the ethics of bombing people using drones in Pakistan in an undeclared and unfunded secret war, one can look into the ethics of forcing people to buy what you want them to using the power of the federal government...
There are many different current events which can be looked at ethically. It would depend on your teacher (you'll want to aim this at a specific audience target for the best grade, the only audience that matters is that teacher) and how he's presented his class with the type of aim he is looking for, when giving examples of political ethics questions what did he bring up? He should have used past events with examples of the ethics questions and how they were applied in argument, this will give a clue as to what direction he'll be looking and how to aim at your specific audience.
If you are serious, don't hesitate to fill us in, we won't do your homework but we can point you at some stories if you give us a bit of the background.
Excellence is an art won by training and habituation. We do not act rightly because we have virtue or excellence, but rather we have those because we have acted rightly. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit.
- -- Aristotle
Believe nothing on the faith of traditions, even though they have been held in honor for many generations and in diverse places. Do not believe a thing because many people speak of it. Do not believe on the faith of the sages of the past. Do not believe what you yourself have imagined, persuading yourself that a God inspires you. Believe nothing on the sole authority of your masters and priests. After examination, believe what you yourself have tested and found to be reasonable, and conform your conduct thereto.
- -- The Buddha
It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.

L.A. mayor, four councilmen fined for ethics violations
Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa and four city councilmen were fined for ethics violations for receiving gifts worth more than $100 and tickets to Hollywood's hottest awards shows, the city ethics commission voted Tuesday.
Villaraigosa was fined $20,849 by the city commission. He had earlier been fined $21,000 by the state's Fair Political Practice Commission.
In a statement, Villaraigosa said his failure to report admission to 34 of the 3,000 civic events he attended between 2005 and 2010 was "unintentional." He believed the tickets weren't gifts, he said. He noted the penalties were below the maximum and that he cooperated with the investigations.
