Ethical Issues In Sully

Surrounded by strangers, the anonymous man, known as “The Man in the Water,” was only minutes to death. With that being said, prior to the plane crash, he was on an ordinary plane surrounded by people he had never met. However, when the plane went down, instead of saving himself, he proceeded to save the others. Because he was selfless, those people gained a longer life. The plane

The ship had many indications of failure before even hitting the ice. They were warned multiple times by neighboring ships of possible danger, passengers reacted terribly in the chaos - taking the ‘every man for themselves’ approach, pride, the lower class were not seen as equals and therefore not prioritized, and the #1 cause made by crew and passengers alike is ignorance. The crew had been warned about the icebergs in their path but would not slow down for the sake of an image. The ship was barely filled with water when the people had been first notified of the hit, hundreds could be saved with such a fast notice but instead they locked a whole class of people in with the water too die. At one point

Sully was ticked off at Scoot’s stupid joke. “Once you get out of there, IF you get out of there, you are so dead! I will tell Mom and Dad after we get off this old boat!” Sully scolds, being annoyed at the same time.

“Against the Odds” is an informative text by Pearson Realize about how Sully Sullenberger faced a potential crash with 150 passengers on board when geese hit the plane and made the engines fail. Sully kept calm for the whole experience and got everyone to safety, while also keeping the plane intact. The selection states, “The plane could either land in LaGuardia or land in Teterboro Airport in New Jersey. Sullenberger knew the situation was too dire for the plane to stay in the air long enough for either plan to be successful… He’d ditch the plane in the Hudson River - despite the fact that passenger jets are not built to land on water.” (pgs. 446-447). This quote explains that instead of listening to air traffic, he thought of his own way and it succeeded. Another challenge was to get everyone to safety. Most of the passengers were out of the plane, but Sullenberger had to be sure they were all out. So he “...walked the length of the cabin twice, calling ‘Is anyone

Erin Brockovich is in a car accident that is not her fault and hires attorney Ed Masry to defend her. He gave her the impression that she would be getting a good settlement, but she lost the case. She is a single mom of three, has no money and is unable to find a job. She blames him for losing the case (due to lack of preparation) and forces her way in to a job at his law firm. Because of the way she dresses and acts, nobody takes her seriously and treats her with respect. She is given a real estate pro-bono file to open involving the purchase of Donna Jensen’s home by Pacific Gas & Electric Company (PS&E). As she read through the documentation, she found it confusing that there was medical

As I was looking for stories involving attorneys violating ethics by taking advantage of their clients, I was utterly shocked at how many news stories populated. The one that caught my eye was an attorney out of Salem, Massachusetts.

The cockpit crew grew tense as the 767 nosed down plane skidded to a stop just before hitting a telephone pole and a fence. The giant aircraft

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.

The two major ethical considerations that are important to address are 9.02 - Use of Assessments and 9.06 - Interpreting Assessment Results. 9.02 - Use of Assessments is particularly important because the psychologist must consider the individual’s language preference and competence. As was noted in the initial case description, Brandon’s parents are both Polish immigrants, and Brandon spoke Polish in home until he attended junior kindergarten. Although he may not have an accent, his language preference should be noted as English may not be the language he is more comfortable using. 9.06 - Interpreting Assessment Results should also be considered. Brandon’s test-taking abilities should be highlighted, as he is suspicious and ambivalent towards the psychological testing. These feelings may negatively affect his test scores, as he may try to either hide how he truly feels, or lie to make himself seem better or worse. It should also be noted that there could be other client characteristics that affect his scores as well, particularly cultural factors.

Henrietta (Loretta) Pleasant, born in August of 1920 in Roanoke, VA, was an African American woman who was raised by her grandfather in a small cabin on a plantation. At the age of 14, she gave birth to her first child, a son, followed by a daughter four years later. She married the father of her children, her first cousin David Lacks, shortly thereafter. After having moved to Maryland for work, the couple had three other children. The last, Joseph, was born in November of 1950, and two months later, in January of 1951, Henrietta went to the hospital with abnormal bleeding. A malignant tumor of her cervix was discovered, and was treated with radiation therapy, which was

This story should be the story of a hero. The story of Whip Whitaker, an excellent pilot, who with a malfunctioning airline jet in a uncontrollable dive to earth and with eminent death quickly approaching, remained calm and managed to control his own anxiety and direct others to execute an intuitive and intelligent plan that allowed him to fly and crash land the jet in a controlled manner as to minimize the loss of life. Out of 102 souls on the flight only 6

The fact that there was seventy four people on board that day is astonishing. Only six people that were on that plane survived, and it’s eye opening to hear or read this man's story. Roger Rosenblatt’s story is very eye opening and it shows that you should live life to the fullest. He titled the story “The Man in The Water” because they didn’t know who it was that risked his entire life for those six people. Many people, including me, would be confused as to why he wouldn’t didn’t take the rope after the others. The man really didn't think about himself, he were to he would have taken that rope. Many people really only think about themselves, and those six people that were saved, should respect that they are still alive and that man risked his life to save all of

Sully’s actions might help him and his sister. For one, he knows the boat inside and out and Scoot’s current situation. Plus, he knows how it started and where it will end and he knows he doesn’t have much time so he has to work hastily.

This film, billed as “the untold story behind the miracle on the Hudson,” stars Hanks as Captain Chesley ‘Sully’ Sullenberger, the pilot who landed his aircraft on the Hudson river after a freak accident in 2009. Rather than simply telling the story leading up to the “forced water landing,” however, the picture chronicles the tumultuous aftermath of what

When the movie Sully first came out, it received a wide range of mixed reviews from both critics and normal movie goers alike. Although everyone is entitled to their own opinion, not everyone agrees with what other people think. Because Sully is a movie that is based on a true real-life event, society has mixed reviews about how the movie was played out because it was based on a real event. Three movie critics gave their thoughts on the movie and each one has different views then the other reviewer does on the producer of the movie Clint Eastwood, the captain, Sully, National Transportation Safety Board, and the co-pilot, Jeffrey Skiles, whom will all be seen in this essay. Sully will go down in history as the movie that had both a wide range of reviews and also told the story of a government agency trying to put the blame on a worldwide hero.
