Given the value that many businesses now place on workplace diversity, assume your employer has charged you with developing a diversitywritten document  for company employees.

The last week in our course covers legal and ethical issues in social media. Pick a court case that involves social media and research it. Then answer the following questions:
What was the case about? Write a brief overview of the court case.
Which laws were considered broken? Describe which legal issues were brought into question.
Do you think the case violated any laws? Please explain why or why you did not agree with the court ruling.
Requirements:
Your paper should be between 600 and 900 words.
Your paper must written be in APA format, including in-text citations.
Important note: Citing a court case in the proper format is key. United States v. Paramount (1948) is correct.

Responses could take the form of a written reflection with approximately 5-8 pages, structured to include sentences, paragraphs, and citations that meet the grammatical and reference expectations for the most recent editions of writing manuals from your choice of APA, MLA, Chicago, or ASA (double-spacing makes reading much easier for scoring).
Alternatively, students are encouraged to be creative and submit original spoken word/poem, either in writing or as a recorded performance, an audio explanation, a video explanation, a TikTok style performance video, narrated visual art piece, or other creative expression that meets the criteria in the prompt and the expectations in the scoring rubric.

Direct quotes need to be clearly articulated as such and must include the page or paragraph number(s), in addition to the source author/creator and date of publication.
Basic guidelines for APA, MLA, Chicago, and ASA can be found at OWL Purdue, (Links to an external site) if a written reflection is chosen, and for references not assigned.
