Position paper on the stakeholders of Phillip Morris and the ethics of selling cigarettes.

A position paper is is an essay that presents an arguable opinion about an issue and is built upon evidence. The structure used to do this is very similar to that used when writing a critical essay.

The classical position paper contains three main elements:
An introduction, which identifies the issue that will be discussed and states the author’s position on that issue.
The Body of the paper, which contains the central argument and can be further broken up into three unique sections:
Background information.
Evidence supporting the author’s position.
A discussion of both sides of the issue, which addresses and refutes arguments that contradict the author’s position.
Conclusion, restating the key points and where applicable suggesting resolutions to the issue.

Some starting points to consider:

1. Stakeholder Analysis.
2. The Smoking Habit and The Ethics Of Selling Cigarettes.
3. The company’s involvement in issue advertising (Ex. Should a cigarette company back an advertising campaign for Anti-youth consumption of cigarettes ?).
4. Potential conflicts of interest (if any) between different stakeholder groups.
5. Can good and bad co-exist? Does it all make sense?
