In this case study we were asked to draw upon deontological ethics, and briefly discuss how Adelphia Communications’ executives violated the trust of the company’s shareholders and the trust of that of the larger public. Throughout this paper I will highlight two key ethical problems that were raised by the Adelphia Communications case. Utilizing Immanuel Kant’s Categorical Imperative, “deontological ethics” or so duty rights will be shared. Then I will apply the deontological framework of business ethics to the two key ethical problems that will be identified. Finally Kant’s Categorical Imperative will be applied to those two ethical problems as well.
The combined effects of the freemium business models that offer free services underwritten by advertising are now dominating the Web, shifting the expectations of computer users globally as a result. In conjunction with this shift in expectations on a global level, entitlement to intellectual property is now rampant, even if a computer user did not pay for it (Hollander, 2010). All of these factors are further accelerating the question of ethics globally, and within each country the question of intellectual rights and how to
According to a study released by the International Journal of Scholarly Academic Intellectual Diversity, a results-oriented approach would place the primary focus on what the employee is supposed to accomplish on the job rather than taking into consideration the employee’s individual personal characteristics/behaviors (Lunenburg, 2012). Perhaps CanGo could base its results-oriented approach upon goals/benchmarks. For example, the manager and employee (in this case Warren and Nick) could meet with each other weeks before the performance review and discuss and decide upon a set of goals that the employee would need to reach. The follow-up meeting (or performance review) would evaluate the employee’s performance based upon the previously agreed
In life, there are many seemingly indisputable doctrines and principles that compose moral boundaries around us. It is commonly accepted that copying others’ intellectual works is immoral, let alone
In this paper we are going to examine why personal morality is an oxymoron and how a moral system is analogous to a game. Then we are going to analyze how the ethical issue of software piracy is seen from the notion of common moral system according to Gert.
“Palm Beach County, Fla. -- On May 26, 2000, 13-year-old Nathaniel Brazill shot his teacher, Barry Grunow, with a .25 caliber handgun in school. Palm Beach County prosecutors tried Brazill as an adult for first degree murder. The jury found Brazill guilty of second-degree murder and the judge sentenced him to 28 years in an adult facility.

In the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals by Emmanuel Kant, we are presented with this conception of Kant’s called “the Form of Law.” With the discussion of the Form of Law, we will also come to encounter both moral law and the categorical imperative. Kant’s notion of the Form of Law, we will later see has a great deal of significance within the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals. Within the discussion of the Form of Law’s significance in the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, Kant also provides us with a response to a claim offered by David Hume. Also, provided in this paper will be both a discussion of correctness of action and the normative requirement. In this paper, I will present Kant’s conception of the Form of Law, as well as its significance in the Groundwork of the Metaphysics of Morals, and finally I will conclude the paper by evaluating this analysis of the structure of correctness in action and the normatively required.
Kant’s philosophy was based around the theory that we have a moral unconditional obligation and duty that he calls the “Categorical Imperative.” He believes that an action must be done with a motive of this moral obligation, and if not done with this intention then the action would hold no moral value. Under this umbrella of the “Categorical Imperative” he presents three formulations that he believes to be about equal in importance, relevance, and could be tested towards any case. The first formulation known as the Formula of Universal Law consists of a methodical way to find out morality of actions. The second formulation is known as
Legal and ethical issues in computing are not as straight forward as one expects, these two comprehensive concepts can be divided into many sub-sections such as computer Ethics which is a moral standard used as a guideline for computer users, Code of ethics is a guideline in ICT, intellectual property is the own work that is created by individuals, privacy refers to the rights that individual and companies have and how their data is collected and restricted to outside sources, computer crime is an illegal act that involves computers and finally cyber law which is laws that are related to helping protect the internet and other online communication.
The strength of this paper is that it provides a comprehensive explanation on the foundation of ethical theories such as utilitrianism, deontology, and virtue. It also provides actual examples of ethical code provisions that address the information collection. In addition, the paper explains the fundamental concepts of the non-disclosure agreement in an easily understandable manner by providing a brief explanation to each technical term. However, the weakness of this paper is that the sections and contents are not organized well, wherein there are lists and enumerations that are not formatted into bullets or numbers. The introduction is relatively short and it does not sufficiently highlight the importance of the paper.
Growing up I always remember loving fashion, really anything that had to do with style and beauty. My love for Fashion, first started by observing fashion shows and being captivated with the ladies long gowns and the vibrant colors of their dresses. This progressed to me spending hours styling my barbie dolls and putting on fashion shows with the looks I had created. These early experiences were only the beginning, this left a lasting impression on what I wanted for my future, to be in the Fashion industry and the steps I needed to pursue fashion all through my academic journey.
As time goes by, ethical and moral issues have been brought up for long periods of time and these issues are recently becoming the rising problem to be discussed in society, business area and daily life. Most of people generally understand that the general meaning of ethics equals to the meaning of moral. However, moral is basically a matter of individual conscience without forcibleness, but ethics are related to social system with forcibleness. The academic definition of ethics is described as a stem of philosophy which raises moral questions and is demonstrated what is the main characteristic of morality and the way in which moral standards are decided (Gray & Webb, 2010).
Copyright notices—often just a simple statement on the work itself of the year protection was acquired and by whom—are not always a good indication of whether or not a work is protected because most countries do not require such formalities, and so lack of notice does not mean lack of protection. Courts may also subsequently decide in the context of an infringement suit that the work did not meet the minimum criteria for copyright protection, even if the work had been previously registered by a government copyright agency. However, copyright notices give at least some indication of who to contact if permission is
