Part of the North America diet is to drink eight glasses of milk a day. Who would ever think that such a habit could cost your life? In 2008 that is exactly what happened in China, four babies died and 53,000 fell ill. How does a parent feel, when on the most important aspects of helping your child grow is to give them milk for calcium and instead it kills your baby.
We think that it happened thousands of miles away, but what if tainted milk was sold here. The number of products that would be impacted is countless. Here are ten that come to mind: cheese, ice cream, sour cream, yogurt, chocolate, whip cream, prepackaged meals with sauces or gravy that use milk, baby formula, coffee creamers and pudding. This would be detrimental to any business that sold these contaminated products.
A perfect example of this is Blue Bell Ice Cream. Recently the news

They sent a message to all businesses about the consequences of unethical behavior. The death penalty is a little harsh but life in prison sends a clear message about ignoring information that brings about death. The United States should incorporate tougher penalties for companies that put customers’ lives in jeopardy for monetary gain. The fines the government charge for such infringements is not enough. They are a mere slap on the wrist to most business. Several businesses in the pharmaceutical industry have had multiple fines because the financial benefit of releasing a drug early is far greater than the impact of the liability.
The milk scandal is not even the last incident where a Chinese company is linked to providing tainted products to American businesses. In 2014, many American fast food restaurants, that are located in China, received expired meat. Companies like Kentucky Fried Chicken, McDonald’s, Starbuck, Burger King and Papa John’s had to pull chicken products that were purchased from Shanghai Husi

Preview Main Points: What everyone things is helping them, could be hurting them in many ways. Today I will talk about how dairy products are harmful to our bodies, the poor treatment of cows, and the different alternatives we have to dairy products.
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.

If Emanuel accepts the offer he benefits greatly because he will be able to complete his assignments efficiently in his dorm room instead of using the college library but Microsoft will not profit and the roommate will have broken the law and potentially receive a penalty or fine for sharing a licensed product. But if Emanuel denies his roommates offer and
Do you believe the ethical standards in America are generally increasing or decreasing? Give four specific reasons to support your answer.
There are many ethical dilemmas that occur daily in our hospitals across the world. Not everyone agrees with standards and policies that are required in hospitals or even with the law. If not everyone obeys the law, ethical cases form. In Springfield, Missouri, a holistic nurse got fired for fighting against Cox South hospital policies. Carla Brock has been a nurse at Cox South hospital and not only refused the flu shot, but also refused to wear a mask. She refused due to religious beliefs, she gets short of breath while wearing the mask, and she feels the mask is meant to intimidate and humiliate those who refuse the shot. The ethical question in this case study is to decide if Carla should have been fired for not wearing a mask after refusing the flu shot and what are other potential proposals. The four-way method will separate out what are the truths, consequences, fairness, and character, of this ethical case study.
On the fateful May day of 1846, America, under President James Polk, declared war on Mexico. By the end of the war in 1848, Mexico lost nearly almost half its territory to the United States. Do you think this was justified? Taking another’s land through 2 long years of war? Is it worth it? I believe that Polk and Congress’s decision was wrongful for the following reasons: Polk had provoked war, [American but Amerishouldn’t] and finally the United States was committing a robbery by stealing Texas.
Nurses are faced with ethical issues and dilemmas on a regular basis. Nurses must understand his or her values and morals to be able to deal adequately with the ethical issues he or she is faced with. Some ethical issues nurses are exposed to may be more difficult than others and the ethical decision making process is learned over time.
The Mythical Norm is a set of attributes that are advantageous in what one seeks to have. These advantages vary in race, class, physical features, sex, sexual orientation, gender, age, and religion. Lorde (2001) describes these norms in America being “defined as white, thin, male, young, heterosexual, Christian, and finally secure” (p. 178). People who seek the Mythical Norm fail to recognize their privilege from those who lack them.
Risk; something we do everyday turning onto a street from a blind corner, jaywalking to get somewhere faster, peeking at our phones while driving and signing up for something new. The everyday risks we take can seem meaningless and uneventful, but for others it can mean their lives; for them everything must be in check otherwise it could result in death. Astronauts are trained for months about how to deal with the risks they will be faced with during their missions, along with proper solutions. These solutions are taught to them by the great minds of scientists; whose duty is to also make sure there is the least amount of risk possible for the mission. The scientists communicate to the head of the programs whether they believe the mission is possible or not, if it should be delayed or pushed up. Unfortunately, the communication between the scientists, and high up workers are ignored or misread. This was the case for the Challenger, a mission that lasted 73 seconds before it exploded, because the weather was too cold for the metal on the O-rings around the rocket. 17 Years later a similar miscommunication cause the loss of the Columbia shuttle because it failed to show the seriousness of the loss of foam from the outside of the shuttle.
Throughout our lives we have been told that milk is good for our body and helps to toughen our bones. Drinking milk started when people domesticated animals for food, which happened around 7500 years ago in the central Balkans and central Europe. By that time consuming milk was not as common as it is today. It was only farmers in some specific regions that were using cow’s milk. Milk’s market grew the mass production of meat in the 15th century. Afterwards in the 17th century, the idea of eating out and going to restaurants was born and fast food industries, started using animal’s meat for producing their meals. The rate of milk users grew with the rate of meat users and milk’s market got bigger and bigger every day. Mothers
This delightful, candy-like, thirst quencher that’s adored by tons of children in our school, is now a dangerous drink. I’ve been researching about the popular chocolate milk, and found some alarming facts. Chocolate milk actually attracts kids due to its sweetness, but it may turn away kids from drinking regular milk. “I don’t recommend that kids drink chocolate milk in schools, because the added sugar provides unnecessary extra calories when so many kids are already struggling with their weight and unhealthy eating,” states RD and nutrition/health expert Joy Bauer. Besides, there’s so much cholesterol and saturated fat, it can lead to tons of health problems. Although it may have some benefits, there’s really not much calcium in milk itself, but it may have many harmful additives. This is a major problem and I think we need to ban chocolate milk in our school.
The Alaska Code of Ethics for teachers contain many points that deal with normative and applied ethics. I drew this conclusion because many of the topics within the code lead to things that explain how things should be done or if situations arise, it explains how they should be handled. These more general ideas provide a framework, which grounds these ethics (Moral Philosophy, 2009). From there the Alaska Code of Ethics spirals down to more specific terms and situations. This is when the code gets into more applied ethics (Moral Philosophy, 2009). The Alaska Code of Ethics seems to speak to the personal values and morals of those for whom they are intended. This can be seen in many of the codes such as, ?The educator may not engage in physical abuse of a student or sexual conduct with a student and shall report to the commission knowledge of such an act by an educator? (Alaska Department of Education & Early Learning, 2000). This is just one example of how Alaska?s code asks educators to abide not only by the professional code of ethics, but to also base their actions and judgments on their personal values and ethics. Teachers, in their responsibility to society, must work in order to not betray that trust (Nelson, Palonsky, & McCarthy, 2010). The knowledge of this responsibility is obvious throughout the Alaska Code of Ethics.

When the Washington Post releases the finding from “Friends of the Earth” that Kraft Foods product labeled Taco Bell Originals taco shells contain “Cry9c” known as StarLink, Taco Bell Corporation will face a public perception that Taco Bell restaurants are serving or selling tinted food products. Less than one year ago (November 1999) Taco Bell Corporation lost some public confidence due to the E-coli outbreak from tainted ground meat. Our response during the November 1999 outbreak should be duplicated to assist with the public perception related to tainted products. While the restaurant products are separate from the home products, they will be linked by our Taco Bell branding. Our use of media outlets, phone banks, and websites should be used. Our legal team will need to begin its preliminary research into the subject for reports and recommendations before the press release. Senior executives from Kraft Foods are being contacted to begin planning a united response to the upcoming press
