The Reality Check “Snapchat: When Is a Company’s Product Responsible for Causing Injuries?” presents an opportunity to consider the ethical challenges associated with negligence. The authors explain that “negligence involves having the ability to foresee the consequences of our acts and failing to take steps to avoid the likely harmful consequences” (p. 314)(Chapter 8-Ethics and Marketing). For this application paper, read the Reality Check on page 314, and then craft an academic paper that addresses the four sets of questions it posed:
- What liability, if any, should Snapchat have for the damages caused by this accident? No one denies that the driver bears primary responsibility, but did Snapchat also contribute to the harms caused?
- What uses could Snapchat have reasonably foreseen for this speed filter? What could Snapchat reasonably be expected to know about the users of its products?
- Was the advice contained in the terms of service sufficient warning to protect Snapchat from any misuse of its products?
- Do you think that the speed filter is a dangerous product? Was Snapchat negligent in marketing this product?

Guidelines for Application Papers (Spring 2024)
Application papers facilitate deliberate thinking on the assigned topic. Each application paper is to provide a substantial treatment of the topic. It should be two to three full pages in length. Use the template provided by the instructor, which is set with 12-point Times New Roman font, paragraph indents, double-line spacing, and 1-inch margins. In the papers, cite sources in APA style by noting author and year in the text, such as (Smith, 2012). Save the paper as a Microsoft Word document, and submit it by uploading the file in Blackboard.
The application papers for this class have a maximum value of 60 points, and they will be evaluated with the following rubric:

Timeliness. Timing has value. While the deadline for submission is midnight on Sunday, students can earn extra credit points by submitting papers early. Thus, the maximum point value for timing, 20 points, is achieved by submitting by midnight on Friday. Papers submitted by midnight on Sunday will earn full credit of 10 points, and late papers earn no points for timing. The time stamp in Blackboard is the official clock. As a general policy, papers will lose twenty-five percentage points for every day they are late, and papers submitted later than five days from the due date will not be accepted.
Format. The template in MS Word is provided on Blackboard for students to download and use. Students will find a specific template for each paper in the assignments folder for that week.
