Ethical Readings: The Case Of The Collapsed Mine

Every licensed professional has had to complete (and pass) an ethics course, at some point in their educational career; whereby they become exposed to, and learn about, the established ethical codes, theories, and dilemmas within both their specific communities and society as a whole. With an increasing interest in social justice, or the “fifth force ” (Corey, G., Corey, M. S., Corey, C., & Callanan, P., 2014), there has also been a recent rise in concerns for the purposes of these required ethics courses and how they actually translate into professional practice: are ethical values kinetic or potential, in effect,

In his book, Beyond Bumper Sticker Ethics, author Steve Wilkens discusses nine ethical views that are prevalent in cultures today. Although the systems are sometimes vague, and his discussions, a bit biased, I find myself fortunate because I seem to agree with most of his opinions that he lets slip.

Summary of what I want to say on the introduction: Talk about ethics and morals, individually and socially. How integration and clash of cultures has led to difficulty in regards to picking a side. Ideologies and truths. Brief introductions of the authors and their style of communication to their audience.

Chapter four of our textbook reveals the importance of ethics and goes into detail about what ethics is. The textbook directly states that “We define ethics as society’s accepted standard of moral behavior, that is, behavior accepted by society as right rather than wrong.” The article states that although ford made defective vehicles that there were no reported injuries because of them. However, because of ethics ford is recalling the vehicles before anyone gets hurt. This proves that Ford has good

One of the most profound impacts the first chapter of Banks' (2008) book has on the reader is in breaking down the different ways of understanding ethics, some of which are at least in part mutually exclusive. Ethical absolutism doesn't take into account differences in cultural values or perspectives, and yet it is easy to see that there are significant differences in perspective and what is considered acceptable, wrong, or even criminal from society to society and even within sub-cultures in a given society (Banks,

Ethics can be defined, in simple terms, as rules of behavior based on ideas about what is morally good and bad. An individual’s personal code of ethics can be a combination of their personal beliefs, character, and personality, therefore, it can be different for each individual. In my life, I place an important

6% of Americans say that the moral and ethical decline is the country’s biggest issue. On the other hand, this means that the other 94% think that other, bigger obstacles, are more important. Correspondingly, it is sometimes adequate to be unethical or immoral, for nobody is perfect, some people live in desperate situations, and your choices determine who you are.

In Paul and Elder’s Mini- Guide “Understanding the Foundations of Ethical Reasoning”, Paul and Elder explains, the development of ethical reasoning and seek to provide public administrators with the tools and understandings for reasoning through ethical issues and problems. The authors start this guide by explaining the concept of ethics and how it can often create confusion by their counterfeits, such as the domains of social conventions, ideological thinking, and legal thinking. On numerous of occasions ethics is being confused with the very different modes of thinking. Paul and Elder conclude by clarifying, it is essential, to differentiate ethics from other modes of thinking. Ethics essentially provides us the true distinction between what is morally right and what is morally wrong.

My first memory I have of being introduced to the concept of ethics was when I was about 9 years old. I was a huge fan of the television show Saved by the Bell and I vividly remember one Saturday morning waking up and watching an episode in which the main character, Zack Morris, enrolls in an ethics class. Any true fan of the show, like I most certainly was, could recognize the irony in that situation. Zack Morris, resident cool-guy, prankster and menace, contemplating what qualifies as ethical and unethical. Only now, after having more experience with ethical frameworks do I truly appreciate and fully understand not only why I enjoyed the TV show, but also my fascination with Zack Morris. As he listened to his professor discuss the quandaries

The past few weeks have been tough and definitely not what I was expecting of an ethics unit. Week in, week out I find myself stumped by questions I don’t have the answers to. However more than ever before I am trying to come up with decisive answers regarding what my opinion is on certain ethical issues, rather than just analysing the merits and demerits of other people’s viewpoints.

In this essay I am going to examine the extent to which these ethical approaches

Everyone’s views of ethics and morals are different because we all have experience different things in life that have contributed to the way we view things ethically acceptable. Throughout my 21 years on this earth my views on ethics and morals have change. I think that ethics and morals are taught to us by the people we surround ourselves with and the environment that we are in. For example, the behaviors that I experienced in public school on the regular basis, would seem bazar to the people in the North Hills school district, where I transferred to in my junior year of high school. In public school people would roam the halls, talk over teachers, and do a whole lot of other things that aren’t normal in a high school setting.

Each of us makes dozens of moral choices daily. Will we go to work or call in sick? Follow the research protocol or violate it? Put quotes around borrowed phrasing or pretend the words are our own? Answer a colleague’s question truthfully or lie? Obey the speed laws or drive as fast as our vehicles will go? Pay our bills or spend our money on entertainment?

Everyday ethics is needed for all of us no matter what our position. Ethics is needed for the stay at home mom or dad. Ethics are needed for the career mother or the working father. Ethics is needed for the single lady or the single man. Ethics is needed for the single parent as well as the married couple. Ethics is needed for all professional fields. Ethics is needed for everybody. Where did we learn our moral code from? Who decides what’s right or wrong? Is it God? Is it parents? Is it books? Is it society? Is it the government? Is it ourselves? How many of us live by our ethics on a daily basis? How many would lie for the company to keep their jobs? How many would stand up against all odds for their ethical stance? How important
