WORK ETHIC

Topic: In Activity 3, you wrote an argument essay about the work ethic of students. For the researched essay, discuss the work ethic of employees today.

Employers surveyed across the U.S. say that Work Ethic is one of the most important traits new graduates need to succeed when entering the workplace. The most critical aspects of Work Ethic are summarized in four key attributes (qualities):

• Teamwork
• Integrity

Choose one (1) of these four attributes. Using the library databases, find at least three (3) sources about that attribute. Write an argument essay that takes a position on work ethic and the employee.  State your position clearly and use specific examples from your sources to support your argument.
