In the first test case, George recently just has gotten his PhD in Chemistry and is having a tough time in landing a job. It is made clear that George is an elderly man who is not robust in health thus reducing the number of jobs that he is able to do. Because of this, George’s wife must go out and work to support him and their smaller children which is stressful enough since they have issues in looking after them in which causes damaging effects on the children. However, George is faced with an opportunity to get a job with a decent pay to work in a laboratory which pursues research into biological and chemical warfare. George is against chemical and biological warfare and he wants to refuse the job. The issue is made clear that George’s refusal will not make the laboratory or job go away and there is person interested in the job and if he were appointed he would most likely push the research with greater zeal than George. George was offered the job by

Evan has even gone to the length to change the job description to exactly describe David. He has brought his thoughts in regards to hiring David in this position to Mary the department chair for business and accounting. After hearing this news from Evan, Mary is shocked. This is unethical because this is not the usual procedure for hiring a new employee and this decision is not fair to the other candidates that may be perfectly qualified for the position and could potentially be a better asset in that position. There is a committee who is supposed to

There are approximately 200 employees in the company. Allison Young is currently 55 years old. Her position is design engineering and she has been with the company for 10 years. Recently, her manger has asked her several times about retirement plans and during the same time the company needs to hire design-engineering director due to the old employee past away from a heart attack. Young applied for the position and have two interviews. However, at the end Forever AC decided to hire a 45 years old male from outside the company for the design-engineering director position. According to records, he was also a lead engineer at his previous company. He led approximately five employees under

I don’t consider Robs choice justified because he based his decisions on Cathy being a smoker. His personal views on smoking should not be dictate who is the best candidate. I understand that he dislikes smoking, sees it as disgusting, sign of weakness of character and the impact it could have on health insurance but other health factors could cause the same thing. Both Cathy and Jen had the same amount of experience, references and interviewed well.

If he does not take the job, it is decidedly worse for the general good as he would be giving up the job to someone with high aspirations to develop the field of chemical and biological warfare. This is a danger to society. In taking the job, George is providing his family with a healthier living and also, as a result of his lack of enthusiasm, he is slowing down the progress of chemical and biological warfare projects. In this way, utilitarianism is showing that integrity is meaningless. These similar ideas are expressed in Williams' second example.

Moss argues that an outside person should get the promotion instead of Bryant because the person is a less risky candidate than Bryant. I will argue that his argument fails and is morally impermissible. I will begin by stating his argument. Then I will state my objections to his claims. Then I will discuss possible objections from him and I will show why they fail.

’s believe that the morally right action is the one that produces the best consequences for the greatest amount of people than an alternative action would. In this case, from a Utilitarian standpoint, the right action would be to take the job doing

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.

Joe Raymond is a sales manager at Granite, Rock and Sand, and is in jeopardy of losing his job if he does not improve his unit’s sales performance. Joe cannot afford to lose his job because he will not be able to pay his mortgage on his new home. He began to interview candidates for a vacant position in this unit, where he is approached by a candidate, Jessica Morris, a former employee of Granite’s competitor, Silt, Sand and Such. She offered Joe inside information on Silt, Sand and Such that would help solve his problems on the condition that she is hired for the job. Joe is now faced with an ethical dilemma -- accepting her offer to save his job and home, or refuse it and hire someone more suited for the vacant sales position.

When it comes to employee Bill Graves I believe that it would not be a great business decision to go out and hire Bill as a new bus driver. After interviewing Bill honestly I do believe Bill could be a great candidate for the bus driving job but I don’t believe Bill is the best for the job. When I think about the Job description for a bus driver they would include things like:

It is agreeable that some solid, well-considered ethical philosophies person only change their mind by convinced reasons or proofs, meanwhile others make decisions based on feelings. It depends on application of different circumstances, beliefs, which will drive people’s certain actions, and behavioural ethics, which help answering how and why they have those ethical or unethical decisions. Some people followed reasonability set by their close ones or society, even though they have own well-intentioned standards, called conformity bias. Particularly, they are tendencies of having similar behaviours or actions with the group under influence of group norm despite the contrary to their own judgment (Asch 1956). Another possibilities could be influence

Likewise, a job that follows the utilitarianism beliefs is not a good job. The utilitarianism definition of happiness is the greatest ratio of pleasure to pain. In utilitarianism individual’s happiness rarely matter so even if you, despise your job, there could possibly be more pleasure than pain in certain situations and then a utilitarian would see it as a good job. A job is a huge element of everyone’s life, so its ability to create happiness for the job holder is extremely important. If a man gets a job that will provide his family of six with income and the necessities to survive, this situation will create more happiness than if a single man with no family or friends got the job. It doesn’t matter how much the single man would love that job or how good he would be at it because six happy people is greater than one. In my eyes that is not a good job because even though the father receives pleasure from being able to provide for his family, the job itself provides him with no

Rashomon was an amusing film about different perspectives. Each person involved in the crime had a different viewpoint on what had just happened. We were introduced to four different perspectives that all could have been true. It just so happened the last person who told his story, the woodcutter lied to the authority, but ultimately admitted what happened to the strangers at the gate. He hid the facts about what he saw to the authority because he had done something wrong as well. He stole the dagger from the scene of the crime due to its high value. The priest lost all hope in humanity when the woodcutter admitted to stealing the dagger and the stranger stole the orphan’s belongings. It was only restored when the woodcutter decided to take
