Ethics Toolkit Summary

1. Shaw and Barry distinguish two different forms of utilitarianism. What are these two forms? Briefly describe each and use examples.

In chapter 2 of the Ethics Primer Svara discusses many important ideas. Some of these included the importance of people who work for the government doing their civic duty , 3 types of ethical reasonings brought up by a student, and Lawrence Kholbergs model of moral judgement. In the book Svara brings up how people in certain roles have a job to do. They must meet the expectations expected of them or they aren’t serving the public in a full capacity. As you read on the 3 types of ethical reasonings are discussed. They are virtue, principle, and to be a public employee. This student I feel has a pretty spot on idea of how people should act. Honesty and following the law are just things ethically sound people should be doing. It doesn't take a genious to understand right from wrong. Finally a major point of the chapter discussed Lawrence Kohlberg and his model of moral judgement. “Lawrence kholberg (1981) offers a model of moral judgement to help understand how the capacity for ethical reasoning develops and explains the motives for acting at different stages of development”.(23) More specifically he gives the six stages of maturity children go through. These being punishment and obedience, instrumental relativist, good boy;nice girl, society maintaining/law and order, social contract, universal ethical

We will talk about this on Thursday 6th April, but I would like to make you aware about this update.

It is important to note that from the very beginning we have a duty to ethically operate our functional area and the business. To that end we have modeled our code of

Athletic identity has been defined as the extent to which a person identifies with his or her athletic role (Brewer, Van Raalte, & Linder, 1993). In addition, it has been recognized as a significant determinant of adjustment to

To start with, executive compensation has been a major and main target for criticism by the stakeholders as well as academics over the time of last several years. “Liberty Mutual’s longtime chief earned an average of nearly $50 million a year from 2008 to 2010, making him one of the highest-paid corporate executives in the country, according to state insurance filings reviewed by the Globe (Wallack, 2012)”. At first glance at this question I think; well we live in a capitalistic society where there are no limits on how much money people can make. Also if this CEO started the business and why shouldn’t they be entitled to that much money from the company, right?

Having a code of ethics also upholds the law. “The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 makes certain

Secondly, Chapter 7 put into context how ethical principles relate directly to sport and recreation. To begin, two concepts that have been the foundation for general ethical guides that have continuously influenced behavior of those who participate in sport (Malloy et al. 2003). I have never viewed the concepts of fair play and sportsmanship as a part of ethics, but the reading taught me how these vague and hard to define concepts has such a strong influence on the behavior of participants.

Children assume right away that they have responsibilities when they first hear about or participate in a sports program. However, these children also have rights when they compete. The National Association for Sport and Physical Education’s Youth Sports Task Force, developed a “Bill of Rights” for all these young athletes. They believe that these rights provide a great foundation for building children into adults the right way. These rights include: 1. Right to participate in sports. 2. Right to participate at a level commensurate with each child’s maturity and ability. 3. Right to have qualified adult leadership. 4. Right to play as a child and not as an adult. 5. Right to share in the leadership and decision-making of sport participation. 6. Right to participate in safe and healthy environments. 7.

Acts of violence, drug use, promiscuous or aggressive sexual attitudes, and cheating are some common issues on college campuses today. These behaviors things can happen amongwithin athletes and non-athletes alike. HoweverYet, most people perceive sports as being pure, and are regarded as highly instrumental in developing an enhanced morality, a propensity to follow rules and regulations, and a general respect for others, all of which in turn makes them good citizens in everyday life. Conversely, sports psychologists suggest that involvement in sports does not necessarily beget better character development. (Weiss & Smith, 2002)

The word “risk” means the possibility of suffering a harmful event. Risk taking can bring either positive or negative result because anytime we take risks in life, there is a possibility of loss which can cause tension. There are a lot of people who take big risks and appear not to be affected by them. But, many of us feel very uneasy when faced with risk-taking; we may become worried about the risk. Although some people are content in life by just playing it safe and not courting any

As a young teenager, my parents forced me into playing sports with the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO), however, strongly contributed to my overall personal moral development to where I stand today. The goal for participating in sports is to be active, have fun, and to have a positive sport experience through learning and practice of fundamental skills. In a blog entitled ”Sports and Moral Development” by Michael W. Austin, he uses the book “Moral Development and Sport," by Carwyn Jones and Mike McNamee, by discussing how the young observe sports. ”As the young see, imitate, and are initiated into fairness in this and other ways, they can begin to develop it as a trait of character. However, this requires that they see and be committed
