Ethical Ethics And Ethical Behavior

As we practice resolving dilemmas we find ethics to be less a goal than a pathway, less a destination than a trip, less an inoculation than a process. —Ethicist Rushworth Kidder

Since my journey here at Bryant began in September, I have changed so much. Coming here, I expected certain things such as my study habits, daily routine and friend group to be altered. One change I was not anticipating making was my approach to ethics. Over the course of the past fifteen weeks, my knowledge of ethics as well as my approach to ethics has changed. I have become more knowledgeable about the different approaches to ethics and have gained insight as to where I stand in my approach to ethics.

Ethics is one of the most important considerations when making a decision about end of life. It is also where the most controversy lies as arguments, using ethical theories, can be made for and against laws on end of life. “Ethics has at least two primary functions: to guide our actions, and to provide justification for the guidance given” (Schuklenk et al., 2011, p. 42). A duty-oriented ethicist would be against euthanasia and physician assisted death. They believe “we can’t stop all pain; what is crucial is that we act with dignity and respect in the face of suffering” (Edge & Groves, 2006, p.40). “Kant’s view is a person committing suicide takes the easy way out, where reason would dictate he or she face their problems” (Schuklenk et al., 2011, p.38). Virtue ethicists would also be against euthanasia and physician assisted death. Virtue ethicists hold “it is not only important to do the right thing but equally to have the right disposition, motivation, and traits for being good and doing right” (Edge & Groves, 2006, p.43). As a believer in God, a virtue ethicist would hold suicide as an unreasonable option. They would believe God to be the “sole arbiter of life and death” (Schuklenk et al., 2011, p.42) and therefore, the right thing to do would be for God to end their life as he sees fit.

“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 behavior is significant to the development of persuasion, and important to the behavior of humans.It also influences persuasion by developing the progression of persuasion, and increasing those who are accountable for it. A person’s ethical behavior originates with morals and changes into what way an individual is required to connect to encourage effectively and dependably and finishes with who obligation it is to take responsibility in a persuasive interchange. The significance of our ethical behavior is realized within all our origins as human beings and stands as the groundwork of our different societies. We are directed by our ethical customs in the cultures which we create and live. “ The persuader’s determined actions means more under deontological ethics than under teleological ethics”( Magee,2014). According to David B. Resnik, J.D.,( 2011), ethics is defined as standards for behavior that differentiate between tolerable and intolerable conduct. Ethical morals of behavior that specify how an individual should conduct them self centered on ethical responsibilities and qualities.

Business ethics can be defined as the moral values of how a business operates, how and what the businesses decide to do and making decisions and how the employees and customers are treated. In business, you have huge responsibility on what you do and answer people who you have to, for example, shareholders, customers and clients. So, will it lead to failure if a business behaves unethically? What is actually failure? Business failure is when a company is not able to make any profits or income or not able to cover it’s expenses and make a lost. Besides that, behave unethically will also ruin the image of a business, thus, in the long run customers will no longer trust the company anymore and thats also part of failure of a business.

Ethical conduct is a representation of leader’s self-expression of who they really are, and with past multi-billion dollar companies reported committing unethical and unmoral acts of behavior, it is imperative that leaders fully comprehend the ramifications related to their unethical behavior. Furthermore, an ethical virtue demonstrated by a leader paves the foundation for their followers to behave with the same ethical behavior established within the organization thus establishing a followers’ commitment to their constitution. Additionally, the rise in corporate ethical scandals today representing the unethical behavior and, raising awareness relevant to the probe into their illegal and unethical acts of behavior. The fact that leaders represent the key ingredient within an organization expected to exhibit the utmost ethical behavior has become the cutting edge of issues involving acts of unethical conduct.

One of the greatest challenges of moral reasoning involves deciding where to draw the line between an ethical and unethical behavior. Morals help us determine what actions are right and wrong. We must consider all the good and bad consequences when deciding if an action is right or wrong. While some actions are clearly right, others are clearly wrong; sometimes our judgment may become cloudy, causing it to be difficult to make the right decision, and that’s when there is a conflict of interest. Conflict of interest always leads to bad outcome because your judgment is being influenced; it’s an unethical behavior. One moral dilemma we come across in today’s society is bribery. Bribery is the practice of extortion; bribery and extortion have many elements in common therefore it can easily be misunderstand as the other. Bribery is the offering of anything of value, such as gifts or money, in exchange to do something illegally; it is a way of getting preferential treatment and inherent favoritism. The world’s largest foreign bribery case was against Siemens AG. Extortion is blackmailing, a crime where one person forces another person to do something against his own will; obtaining something by illegal threats such as getting another’s money or property through force.

In contemporary society, the ethical phenomenon is very pertinent whether in social or in academic life. According to Wellington (2000) claims that morals and ethics are bound to each other but, the two aspects are slightly different. Ethics means a system of moral principles which play the role as guide or model that conduct by an individual or group. In line with the university of Waikato, conducting any research in any circumstances which involve human it is vital to follow an ethical guidelines and the procedure (2009, p.1). Moreover, Cohen, L., Manion, L., and Morrison, K. (2011) point out that within academic research we have our own code of ethics to be followed, and it is essential that all research must meet with approval from an ethics committee prior to commencing. Therefore, it means if conducting research without ethical approval is not accurate and may erodes public and professional credibility of individuals including the universities. To do this a brief outline of the article chosen of the study will be explained considering the participant, objective or questions, methods and results. Then I will highlight any ethical dilemmas or issue that reveal on the article. Finally, a reflective statement based on my own comprehension in relation to the study and in educational research will be provided.

Ethics had the meaning of by showing the moral virtue or showing moral character. Ethics has some connection with rules; which if the behavior of human is well formed and cautiously controlled, it will result the human get approach into desirable way, even if the rules does not stated any things or what to do in particular scenario. There are claims about the equality between ethics and morals in way of definition and the objective but it is not. Actually, morals is a matter of discipline that telling us what the moral system that implemented into the society while ethics is about researching, analyzing and criticizing that moral system. As example, the ethics will act as the researcher while morals become the material of research. So, it can be concluded that ethics will be as the guidelines to the life of human, society or organization and also must be suited in various cultures, times, places and situations.
