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

Ethical implications arise when a situation deals with principles of morality and resolution is neither right nor wrong. Because of the stress and emotion ethical dilemmas present us with; steps have been recognized to help work through determination. Although each and every situation is unique, a framework for problem resolution along with laws for ethical situations has taken effect.

An ethical dilemma is defined as a complex situation that will often involve an apparent mental conflict between moral imperatives in which to obey one would result in transgressing another . When individuals are faced with an ethical question, we tend to search for a “correct answer” when responding. However, these types of questions do not always seem to have a straightforward answer. The arguments which may arise from an ethical dilemma question are typically examined in two ways: whether people are being consistent in their judgment and whether the alleged facts on which those judgments are based are truth. In this essay, the ethical dilemma being presented is as followed: A man cheats on his wife early in their marriage. Twenty years

“Brad is a production engineer at a bicycle company and part of his job includes inspecting broken bikes and drafting the design repairs for their repair” (Bartlett). Brad is considering replacing a broken brake cable with a more durable material, even though the customer did not request it in their order and specifically requested that “No aesthetic changes be made to the bike” (Bartlett). Brad’s manager suggests that his considered actions would go against the company’s policy of “The customer is always right.” Should Brad disobey the manager and the customer to possibly lose his job or go along with

Ethical and moral dilemmas are an ineluctably ineluctable issue health care provider’s will face, this often leaves the provider torn in making the right decision. When providers are faced with an ethical or moral issue, the right answer is not always clear; and the process of resolving an issues requires the practitioner to examine the situation and make a decision predicated on what will be the best outcome. The purport of this paper to examine an ethical issue, describe the circumventing issues, and compare with Ohio state laws and regulations.

The case in this ethical and legal issue is quite complicated. Patient is 89 years old; recently lost his wife of 60 years a week ago. He attempted suicide by gunshot and left a note; he admitted that he was too heartbroken to go on. His prognosis even with surgery is not good. However, his big family wants to proceed with the surgery. End-of-life (EOL) care often becomes an issue for a family of dying patient, especially if they cannot make a decision nor have contradictory desires (Blais & Hayes, 2016). Having this patient committed suicide even makes this end-of-life care more complicated. While the case needs to be reported to the authority due to its legal issue, the ethical issue remains.

Ethical dilemmas are presented to humanity often; dilemmas consist of controversial choices, peer pressure, strong opinions of society on both sides, and pull against personal values. However, the knowledge bank that a person has, or is willing to acquire will influence the resolution made. Paul is a young man that has had several accomplishments, including the starting position that he earned by working hard in the weight room and on the field. Although, members of the team have been trying a new performance enhancing drug that has shown remarkable results, is not on the banned drug list yet and does not show up on drug tests.

The National Association of Social Workers has a Code of Ethics that every social worker should keep in mind when working with clients. The Code of Ethics is a set of written principles that discuss important conduct and behavior that is created by the organization to serve as a guide for the social work profession. The purpose of the Code of Ethics is to allow those in the profession to conduct themselves ethically and to engage in ethical decision making. Behaving ethically can be a struggle for many people and the decisions on what may be the right choice of action could be completely different for someone else. Social workers face ethical dilemmas on a daily basis and the choice is ours on what we feel can be right and wrong. For this paper, I will be discussing the ethical concerns of the Jones case. I will be including the ethical issues, certain Codes/Laws/SOP, the core values in the profession, and the strategies I will use to practice ethical standards in the profession.

An ethical issue is where an individual or a party have to undertake a moral judgement in which his or her morale values are being challenged (Hannafey, 2009). Is it right that Chris Knox befriended the CFO of Armadillo Gas and Power with only one reason on his mind? For him to try to land his account at this company (SFS). To mention that he was “not that familiar with Armadillo Gas, but maybe don’t need the high-level services [SFS] offer. Maybe [SFS is] is more expensive than what [Armadillo Gas has] now”. Through circumventing the CFO and talking with his wife with accidental encounters, he was able to finally land Armadillo Gas. But was he ethical in the ways he managed to land the account?

When we look at the ethical issues, we can stream them into two categories that are the funder’s perspective and Livestrong’s perspective. The funders are in a dilemma whether they shouldcontinue funding and supporting the organization which in way has become so popular because of Lance Armstrong. Also, the other major point of discussion is whether it isethical for the funders to ask for their money to be returned considering the fact that the scandal took place in Lance Armstrong’s personal life and not within Livestrong. Now, if we look from Livestrong’s perspective, we can question whether it was ethical to completely cut ties with the founder of their organization.

I believe that public servants should be sensitive to ethical issues because they need to know how to handle ethical demands with discretion, good judgment and to prevent abuse of power. Public servants must be held by higher standards because the ethical demands that are given to them are different than those of the public. Public servants are “professionals who are paid by the public and whose jobs entail pursuing the public good.” (Joycelyn Pollock, Ethical Dilemmas and Decisions in Criminal Justice, pg 105.) “We study ethics to sensitize students to ethical issues and provide tools to help identify and resolve the ethical dilemmas they may face in their professional lives.” (Joycelyn Pollock, Ethical Dilemmas and Decisions in Criminal Justice, pg 6, para. 3.)

This paper will explore ethics, patient rights, cultural considerations and ethical dilemmas and how they are present or not in the case of J.M a 48-year-old male Navaho tribe member who was brought into the unit with suicidal ideation and has a diagnosis of alcohol abuse. This patient has refused the psychotropic medications prescribed to him on the unit. The psychiatrist told the nurse to hide the medicine in his food. The evening nurse hid the medication in the food. When he noticed the pills, he turned the table over and was put in restraints. This case is an example of an ethical dilemma where the nurse wanted to follow orders but it contradicted with the patient’s cultural beliefs with healthcare it also has a violation of ethics, violation of patient rights and a violation of the law.
