An Ethical Dilemna
After three years with the company, Sandy was promoted to assistant plant manager. This was a big step for Unity Welding and Construction, as well as for the industry; Sandy was one of only a handful of women who had broken through the “glass ceiling” and made their way into management. She had proved to the men around her that she deserved the job, and she was now being toasted by assistant managers from other plants across the country John, her boss, had been her advocate with the company.

Shortly after John sent out his memo, the recession started to hit the automobile industry hard. Some of Sandy’s workers were to be laid off. Sandy went through the records and found that her most productive workers had been selected for termination. She went to John with the problem, and he said he’d take care of it. By calling in some favors, John was able to save the workers’ jobs, and no pink slips were issued at the plant. Within a week the workers knew John and Sandy had saved them.
Two months later, in November, the special project teams were working especially hard. Sandy noticed that the teams with the highest hourly wages were also the ones that were cutting corners the most. Sandy ran a spot inspection and found major quality problems with the products, as well as pollution problems. Additionally, she learned that several teams had “procured” software from the competition to reduce their
People from all walks of life face many ethical dilemmas. These dilemmas have consequences. Our worldview determines how we deal with these dilemmas, and guides us to the right decisions. In this essay, I will examine an ethical issues through my Christian worldview. I will also present other viewpoints, and compare them to mine.
Ethical dilemmas occur when there is a disagreement about a situation and all parties involved question how they should behave based on their individual ethical morals. (Newman & Pollnitz, 2005). The dilemma that I will be addressing in this essay involves Michael, recently employed male educator working in the nursery, and parents of a baby enrolled at the centre. The parents have raised concerns about male educators changing their child’s nappy as they have cultural practices that do not allow this practice to take place. This situation is classed as an ethical dilemma as there is a dispute between cultural beliefs and legal requirements within the workplace. There are four parties involved (parents, child, educator and director), all

Rose helps the audience gather a mental image of what he experienced occasionally on a day to day basis; it was the 1950s in a Los Angeles family restaurant. Mrs. Mergalio would do more than just waitress, she could handle working the register and the counter with little to no help (Rose, 2017, p. 272). Sitting behind a desk all day, white-collar employees have little to no face time with the outside world or their colleagues. As a waitress,
Virginia Pollard was a cashier and storefront clerk for a company called Teddy’s Supplies. This is a family-owned company that sells film production equipment in New Jersey and Pennsylvania. During one of Pollard’s evaluations, her supervisor said she was making too many personal phone calls and it was interfering with her work. This was also put into her yearly review that everyone at home office would see as well. They asked her to keep her personal phone calls to the bare minimum because she was there to work and not to socialize with her friends. She was transferred to another department in the main warehouse that was behind the store. In this department, she would not be able to make any more personal phone calls. Her supervisor noticed that her work was no longer suffering. Her evaluation over the next few months said that her work behavior had changed incredibly and she was meeting all of the expectations that her supervisor had for her.
The question of what is truly the nature of justice remains an unanswered question as noted by Bertrand Russell in ‘The History of Western Philosophy’ wherein he notes that Socrates was unable to provide a convincing rebuttal of Glaucon’s arguments on justice, and neither have all the social philosophers since, been able to do. Amartya Sen, in his book ‘The Idea of Justice’, has
Yes, the information in the headnote describing the author's, Michael Dillingham, qualifications persuades me to side with his opinion. Why? Simply because he is a well-educated individual. Furthermore, he has most likely spent many hours looking into the dangers of steroids and other substances abused by athletes. Personally, I believe that the term "applied ethics" means that a person holds their self to a certain moral standard every day of their life. It implies that the audience has certain moral standards since they are visiting a website that is devoted to "applied ethics". When the author says, "the inmates are running the asylum", I believe he means that these athletes can do whatever they choose to do. Michael Dillingham, the author,

According to the New Oxford American Dictionary, ethics is defined as “moral principles that govern a person’s or group’s behavior.” Therefore, in an ideal world, ethics should play the ultimate role when making a decision. If ethics are the principles which guides one’s behavior then, ideally, all decisions should be made entirely based on ethics. Unfortunately, such is not always the case.
An ethical dilemma is an incident that causes us to question how we should react based on our beliefs. A decision needs to be made between right and wrong. I have experienced many ethical dilemmas in my lifetime, so I know that there is no such thing as an ethical dilemma that only affects one person. I also know that some ethical dilemmas are easier to resolve than others are. The easy ones are the ones in which we can make decisions on the spot. For example, if a cashier gives me too much change, I can immediately make a decision to either return the money or keep it. Based on Kant’s, categorical imperative there are two criteria for determining moral right and wrong. First, there is universalizability, which states, “the person’s
