Application of Ethical Theories

In this essay I have chosen to compare two opposing theories, Immanuel Kant 's absolutist deontological ethics and Joseph Fletchers relativist situation ethics. The deontological ethics focuses on actions made according to duty and the categorical imperative - which shows how acts are intrinsically good or bad. The situation ethics state that no act is intrinsically good or bad, and that actions should b made according to love. From this perspective it looks as thought Kant 's views were less personal than Fletcher 's, although in actuality both focus on the best outcome for humans.

During this interview, I addressed some of parts highlighted in Ethical Principal 2.1.1 of the social work Code of ethics. I demonstrated professional demeanor and behavior by stating the confidentiality statement and I guided the client to know that she could express herself freely and openly without judgement. When the client and I first sat down I also made sure to set the mood with a relaxed “Good Morning how are you doing today” This lead to start other side conversations consequently creating an atmosphere appropriate for this type of interview. Because we could converse on other subjects besides the actual question. Thus, we could engage in effective communication from the beginning. We were also able to make good non-verbal gestures

The life of prisoners some may never know. There are those who care not to know what goes on behind that wired fence. We find that some people that are convicted of crimes that they did not commit. Some people would rather turn their heads to what actually happens in a prison institution, because they feel it is no concern of theirs. Innocent women and men face a disaster in life when they find their selves incarcerated in such facility as these. The treatment in prison facilities toward prisoners with health issues or those who develop health concerns that

Morals are infrequently conflated or mistook for different methods for settling on decisions, including religion, law or ethical quality. Numerous religions advance moral choice making yet don't generally address the full scope of moral decisions that we always come across. Religions might likewise advocate or deny certain practices which may not be viewed as the correct area of morals, for example, dietary confinements or sexual practices (K.A. Francis, Demand Media, 2014). A decent arrangement of law ought to be moral, however, the law sets up a point of reference in attempting to direct all inclusive rules and is subsequently not ready to react to individual connections.

Fraenkel et al (2015) state, “the names of the subjects should be removed from all data collection forms. This can be one by assigning a number or letter to each form”.

The long debated question of the importance of men and women and their roles has raged on for years. Should men and women be treated equally, that truly is the question that seems to have more answers than resolution. Applying the question to Deontology and the work of Immanuel Kant, the answer would be all people regardless of gender should be treated equally. However, these theories do not take into account the actions of the male or female in question. The question still remains, should men and women be treated equally or should it be based on the situation, all accounts will be taken into further consideration.

Ethical principles are applied when considering ethical decisions. Autonomy and beneficence are two out of the seven ethical principles. Autonomy is basically the right, that a person can make decisions for herself; while beneficence is the act to benefit and avoid harm to others (Alfaro-LeFevre, 2013). In this case of ethical dilemma, a 17-year-old patient with Hodgkin’s lymphoma wanted to stop her chemotherapy treatment. Although, the patient is displaying autonomy, she was under age at the time and her mother was her guardian. One would think her mother will go against her wishes of stopping her treatments, but in contrast her mother agreed to stop her chemotherapy. The court was involved in the case because the doctor advised against their wishes. The court then appointed a state guardian and the chemotherapy continued and the patient is now in remission (Macklin, 2015). In the latest new she now would like to be released from state custody and wants to continue and finish all her treatment (Briggs, 2015).

The revelation of technology in the last two decades has influenced the society in a manner that many had not perceived. Not only has technology been applied in places of business, but it is also in our personal lives. A hallmark of this technological revolution is social media. To facilitate some of these services, such as online banking, the user is required to part with vital information. These data includes personal records, bank statements, documents of high value, say tenders to services of bitcoins. with the availability of such information online, information concerning personal details of computer users lives such

The foundation to any ethical decision making process is adherence to the principles of independence and beneficence. The Ethical decision making is a process that can be refined and used in addressing any ethical dilemma. An

Ethics is the concept of right and wrong and thus it is difficult to come to a universal standpoint as to what should be right and wrong. In the context of the medical field, professionals are constantly engaged in accessing very delicate and sensitive information about people and patients. Thus, such professionals are regularly facing the circumstances in regards to concepts such as confidentiality and privacy. Keeping such private and sensitive information confidential can be a challenge both legally and ethically (Boylan, 2013). When we mean a challenge ethically, we refer to the concept of whether such private information can be easily shared

2. An ethical decision-making principle that came into play in my clinical experience involved a competent patient refusing a blood transfusion because he was Jehovah Witness. This patient was actually a physician himself and the ethical dilemma it raised was that it conflicted with my nurse and I’s commitment to provide beneficial care while avoiding harm. While we could advise our patients our own views on why they should receive this blood transfusion we had to make sure we avoided coercion, and deception that could deny our patients autonomy. Out patient ended up changing their mind and agreeing to the blood transfusion, but we still had to make sure the change wasn 't a consequence of illness impairing the patient to decide and that the patient was basing their decision on facts. The ANA code of ethics states the right to self-determination. Self-determination is also called autonomy and forms the basis for informed consent within the health care system. The patient has the right to make his healthcare decision. Knowing this had an impact because ultimately a signed blood refusal card is equally and ethically equivalent as a component patient with an advance directive. Knowing this I had to treat the patient according to his wishes.

Describe and discuss the theoretical principles and ethical guidelines that underlie two of the main areas of applied psychology.

Build a mirror CRM production system over the next two weeks so that a rebuilding of the main CRM system could occur to plug security holes and assure that another DoS attack would not be successful.

The ethical dilemma is a situation by which it’s difficult to determine whether a situation is can be handled without disappointing both sides. Therefore, an ethical dilemma exists when the right thing to do is clear or when members of the healthcare team cannot agree on the right thing to do. Ethical dilemmas require negotiation of different points of view (potter, Perry, Stockert, & Hall 2011pg 78).

Ethical theories in philosophy are used as decision making tools (Trevino p38), many theories with different frameworks with argument with and against.
