Ethical Dilemmas

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

On Thursday August 4, 2016, I was at work. I was informed that there was a young man asking for my work schedule (what days I worked and time) and what car I drove. After no information was given out to him (Tala Toilolo) left my work location in which shortly after Johnnie contacted a former co-worker and a current employee. He asked for the same information. Someone came to my job before my shift was over to watch out for me and inform me of everything she had heard Johnnie and affliates were after. This person warned me to "watch my back, to never be alone, and that whenever I go out whether it was work or anywhere else to not leave anywhere until I made sure my ride arrived ." If someone overhears all this and is friends with

When faced with ethical dilemmas, medical practitioners should be guided by the ethical precepts of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice. These ethical precepts are of absolute importance in which ethical problems, faced in medicine, are taught to professionals and medical students alike (Christen, Ineichen & Tanner, 2014). Where conflicting obligations and responsibilities are faced, these codes will also provide some sort of framework in making informed choices (Turner, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to briefly explain what these four precepts are, and to apply them to the disciplines of psychotherapy, public health and scientific research to demonstrate how important and vital it is to adhere to them. I will also apply

Kevorkian handed the tape to the media and after numerous debates and trials was charged with second-degree murder. He was sentenced to 10-25 years in prison. However, after being diagnosed as terminally ill with Hepatitis C, and from good behavior, Kevorkian was granted parole and spent only eight years in prison. Once released from prison, Kevorkian did not practice assisted suicide any longer, but did spend an ample amount of time giving lectures in regards to many topics including euthanasia. He also fought hard to try to change the laws on assisted suicide.

According to Nickerson (n.d.), “organ donation is the act of donating an organ by a person and it can be transplanted by surgical procedure in the body of the recipient (para.1)”. This procedure is made with fully informed consent from the donor. Organ donation is one of the most popular topic and many are not aware for the good benefit of it. According to Midwest Transplant Network (2010), it can helps the “recipient largely by continuing and maintaining quality of life, improving health, adding another span of life and saving him from even death (MTN, 2010).”

thical work by program evaluators needs honesty and transparency among stakeholders. The ethical guidelines are crucial to carrying out any form data collection. The Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation (JCSEE) help protects both the stakeholders and evaluators (JCSEE, 2016). The power of data, however, to decide program deficiencies and tell the field evaluators about effective programs. Ethical considerations and dilemmas found in Grand City’s “Ethical Dilemmas,” “Project Plan for Evaluation Statewide Afterschool Initiative,” and “Evaluation of a School Improvement Grant to Increase Parent Involvement” comes down to objectivity. What we think of objectivity is bias, prejudice, and the underlying assumptions that may

There have been several researches, which suggests that constant crying may negatively affect interaction with the child. With that said, mothers have described as less responsible, sensitive, and affectionate. That can be the reason why there might be a relationship between crying and physical abuse of infants. “‘Physical abuse is the leading cause of injury- related infant death, and the incidence of inflicted traumatic brain injury for children under 1 year of age had been estimated at 30 per 100,000’”. Crying is associated with violent physical abuse against infants, the crying makes the caregiver desperate and shakes or physical abuses the child to get him to stop crying. There is not much research about the topic because of the ethical issues because it’s hard to manipulate the crying of a baby. The studies that have been conducted related to this topic have used recording of a baby cry. One of the few studies that have been made regards the crying of

The issue of ethical choices as assessed from the perspective of the modern population may appear easier than it might seem at the time when the decision was made. In the situation of the Founding Fathers and the choice that they made with respect to establishing the state in the form that was discussed during the closed seating, could be justified by the result they achieved. For utilitarian ethics and the ethics of virtue, their activities should have been justified and supported. Still, it may also be questioned if there was the need to complete the procedure covered.

Thank you for the informative discussion post on policy, Elizabeth. I also cited Mason, Leavitt, Chaffee, and O’Grady (2016) discussing how policy can be influenced by multiple spheres at a time. Based on my real world observations of my work with Optum and the health insurance industry, I have seen the effects of various state exchanges on the government, workplace, interest groups and the community.

PlentErgy is an openly traded oil and gas exploration company with operations mostly in Texas and Oklahoma. We do not want to miss the oil exploration in North Dakota. We are highly skilled in hydraulic fracturing or fracking, which is a technique that is used to release oil and gas from rock formations. We are confident that we could use fracking safely to release oil and gas from sites in North Dakota. The ethical dilemma that stands in the way is fracking is closely linked to waste disposal. Millions of galloons of salty, chemical infused wastewater, know, as brine is part of fracking. Oil companies are dumping and spilling the waste onto the land and waterway with increasing regularity. They are supposed to put the

As a graphic designer, I must work for clients whose beliefs may not line up with my own. I am jobless, in debt and am offered a position at the White House. The job I am offered is to sell the Trump Health Care plan through pamphlets, websites, and social media memes. This position would mean that I would have inside information on the White House plans to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). The Congressional Budget Office reports that 14 million Americans will lose their health insurance in the first year. An additional 10 million people will lose their health insurance over the next 10 years. When I raise this concern with my boss, I am told to “shut up and do my job.” My job is to emphasize the 337-billion-dollar deficit

Ethics can be dangerous to your career. The danger may come not from your own ethics but from the ethics of people around you and the organization of which you are a part. Employees have various moral decisions to make. Many of these decisions should be made on the basis of our moral obligations, but sometimes the morally preferable action could require courage and be performed beyond the call of duty. One defense against involvement in wrongdoing is vocalizing when there are unethical practices being made. While being prepared for organizational challenges that will inevitably test your personal values, moral beliefs, and commitment may be doing the right thing, is it ethical when one’s job is on the line?
