American Ethical Codes

Do you believe the ethical standards in America are generally increasing or decreasing? Give four specific reasons to support your answer.

Ethics also plays a huge part in making a decision that yields a more positive outcome. Ethical Codes provides a framework and guidance for maintaining obligations to different stakeholders (Follari, 81).NAEYC and NEA both created a code of ethics. The national education association (NEA) code of ethics has two main principles: commitment to the student and commitment to the profession. NAEYC also developed a code of ethics with the intent to “give practitioners a research-based framework for making sound decisions in their work, especially when faced with ethical dilemmas” (Follari , 72). NAEYC code set a framework of professional responsibilities in four sections that address professional relationships that include: children, families, colleagues, and community and society; and in which each section is divided into ideal and principles. (NAECY 2011, pg 2)

On the fateful May day of 1846, America, under President James Polk, declared war on Mexico. By the end of the war in 1848, Mexico lost nearly almost half its territory to the United States. Do you think this was justified? Taking another’s land through 2 long years of war? Is it worth it? I believe that Polk and Congress’s decision was wrongful for the following reasons: Polk had provoked war, [American but Amerishouldn’t] and finally the United States was committing a robbery by stealing Texas.

lawyer, how do we know if he is not like that towards other clients and judges. I understand that people get emotional when things like divorce and custody arises and things can get out of hand, but in this case, I feel he went a little overboard only thinking about himself and not considering the consequences this all had on his ex wife and minor child. He was definitely unprofessional and even one of the judges said “ if someone asks me what vexatious litigation looks like, the former husband's various filings in this divorce case, especially his antics in these post judgment proceedings, are an excellent example” (Judge Farmer, 1997). Judges and lawyers have a higher standard to go by, if this type of action is not tolerated when representing a client, then it definitely should not be tolerated by a lawyer in his own case.

I enjoyed reading your post. The ASCA and AMHCA has some similarities. In the AMHCA Code of Ethics (2015), that counselors should look at his or her own beliefs and values and understand that their views can impact the client. AMHCA also has their own peer review journal that provides information about research, and theories that relates to mental health counseling. I agree that advocacy is important because it brings awareness and it also important because you have someone that will speak up for the people that do not have a voice for example, children may not voice how they are feeling or believe that if they do voice their feelings, someone will not believe

The Mythical Norm is a set of attributes that are advantageous in what one seeks to have. These advantages vary in race, class, physical features, sex, sexual orientation, gender, age, and religion. Lorde (2001) describes these norms in America being “defined as white, thin, male, young, heterosexual, Christian, and finally secure” (p. 178). People who seek the Mythical Norm fail to recognize their privilege from those who lack them.

Ever since the early 17th century, the Jews in Philadelphia have been striving to become an important part of the American society, while staying true to their roots. Although the Jews faced exile from their homelands of Portugal and Spain, they were able to build and sustain a strong Jewish community within Philadelphia and pave the way for future generations through extensive actions throughout the community. They built hundreds of Jewish schools, Community Centres, synagogues and established many congregations. They became strongly involved in the American society and paved the way for many of America’s moral codes (Telushkin). There are currently 275, 850 Jews in Philadelphia, making it one of the strongest Jewish communities in the United States (Levine).

New medical interns are picked each year to work at Seattle Grace Hospital and at the beginning of the series Meredith Grey was chosen along with a few other eager new surgical doctors. Throughout the many years of learning, growing, and helping the save lives of many people, they faced the many hardships that really questioned some of their morals. During the 13 seasons Meredith and her colleagues made many personal life decisions along with important medical decisions that affected not only their lives, but the lives of many other people as well. In this paper I am going to be talking about some of the more serious patients that these doctors have helped over the years and also some of their personal problems and how their ethical beliefs led them to make the decisions that they did.

The American Red Cross is one of the most prominent and ever evolving organizations of our century. They’re a company that helps prevent and formulate drastic measures to small measures to relieve the suffering that people go through every day in the face of emergencies. They are as effective and efficient as the military as they can mobilize forces of volunteers and with willing to give from donors strengthen and power American Red Cross. They are the main and primary emergency preparedness and response organization. The ARC will and is always ready to bring gracious, protecting, and saving comfort to all humans that are face to face in disastrous situations and crises, from tsunamis to tornadoes to earth shaking quakes. Red Cross turns to volunteers to many of the members of the military to give and provide lifesaving blood for the need of survivors of disasters around the world, every time the clock ticks a second, and every day that the sun rises.

Many Americans have the luxury of purchasing new electronics almost every year. Something that is ignored, since it has become so natural, is exactly how their little devices had come to their lives and what happens when it is thrown away. In a more perfect world, the production of electronics would that of an ethical process, but it is unfortunately not that case. It all starts with the harvesting of raw materials.

The American Sociological Association’s Code of Ethics addresses most of the issues that Babbie raises. For instance, on confidentiality the sociologists are encouraged to ensure that the information they have is protected so as to uphold the integrity of a specific research as well as ensuring there is open communication with the research participants. Sociologists are encouraged to take reasonable precautions even when there is no legal privilege or protection to do so. Voluntary participation is covered on the Informed Consent ethical conduct where a subject in a research involving human populations must be well aware of what the researcher is doing and the information provided is voluntary and not coerced.

Within my own career, I plan to follow certain core ethical values as a mandatory requirement. In my personal life, I have dealt with a lot of negative people or situations, which have left me with a positive outcome; I have learned what NOT to do or who NOT to be.

A code of ethics highlights the responsibility and accountability standards of each and every employee within the organization. These codes are also motivating factors that guide the employees’ behavior, set the standard regarding ethical conduct, and build an organizations trustworthiness within

It is one thing to establish a code of ethical conduct for an organization in the public sector, but it is quite another to really impress upon all employees the importance of living up to that code of conduct. What makes a code of conduct and how can management be assured that all employees understand the code and follow it's values and guidelines? How do not-for-profit professions stack up against for-profit professionals when it comes to ethics? This paper delves into codes of conduct in the public and sector and provides a review of several scholarly articles that present specific instances where codes of conduct are part of the workplace culture.

Documentations that state significant philosophical principles and make clear the values depicted within an organisation are known as ethical codes. For these codes to be considered effective they are required to be able to define the responsibilities of an organisation to stakeholders, the conduct expected of employees (Kaptein & Wempe, 2002) and articulate the ethical parameters of the organization as to what is acceptable and what is not (Stevens, 1994). While behaviour of course, refers to the ethical behaviour of individuals in organizations. Employee behaviours are purposely designed to be affected by codes, regardless of the extent of the script. As much as codes are used to enhance social responsibility and explain the norms and
