Ethics in the Movie Philadelphia

The Philadelphia Ball Club was challenging a judgment from Pennsylvania’s trial court, which refused to enforce an injunction against Lajoie for breach of his contract. The court felt that to do so would render Lajoie so valuable to the ball club that his breach of contract would lead to irreparable damages. The court felt that the player’s value was not that high, and that the language in the contract in which the ball club could discharge the player at anytime without the player being allowed to do the same lead to this decision.

When reading the case, it appeared that Dr. Boggio’s had been Mr. Allen’s psychologist is the past or may still be currently.

However, I was shocked by Mr. Sundstrom's decision to play God, and how Mr. Sundstrom's depended on my death. Coupled with the racist lawyers, I thought I hired to litigate the injustice, instead the racist lawyers accepted the case with the intent of preventing litigation. Accordingly, while my son's actions certify as dirty, the racist lawyers actions certify as filthy dirty. Furthermore, a year after hiring Kirby, Gilbert and Ashley, LC to represent me in litigating Petitioner and FMRS, I discovered Mr. Kirby's mother-in-law, is FMRS clinical director, Jennifer Hamrick, officer for the mental health facility. By the time I fired Kirby, Gilbert and Ashley, open sores covered my right arm---a direct result of picking due to extreme stress. The horrible scars remain almost two years after firing the unapologetically racist law

Most major professional codes of ethics have a policy or rule against dual relationships (Gottlieb, 1993). Dual relationships exist when a professional acts at the same time or sequentially in two roles (Gottlieb, 1993). Through the course of this paper, the concept of dual relationships will be examined. Ethical issues with dual relationships will be explained as well as the clarification and analyzation of a specific dual relationship. Not to mention the explanation of challenges presented by boundary issues in professional psychology.

Sissela Bok’s Lying: Moral Choice in Public and Private Life focuses around the ethical implications around lying and examines situations when it is appropriate or inappropriate to lie. Bok’s philosophy is unique among many philosophers in that she takes an approach that recognizes that people will lie and that there are certain situations in which lying may be warranted or acceptable depending on the situation at hand and who is responsible for lying. I believe that this is a more realistic expectation of human society. In this paper, I will examine Bok’s reasoning and apply it to possible situations in my professional career that will require me to examine my ethical responsibility around lying. In addition to Bok’s book, I

The distinction between the two cases is that Lane tried to conceal his misconduct. He tries to deceive the court and then choosing to not respond to the court. I agree with the courts reasoning because it will teach the person their misconduct is unacceptable and if it happens again they will barred from practicing law.

Ethical principles provide generalized frameworks that may be employed in the resolution of ethical dilemmas in our daily lives. These principles may be applied to our interpersonal relationships as well as to our professional lives.

The creditability of our profession is undermined when we face the temptation to ignore our ethical responsibilities. The author of “Ethics & Critical Thinking” asserts the most common ethical fallacies rely on poor judgments, enormous stress, and conflict. Patient violations are committed everyday when our thoughts maintain “it’s not unethical even if our acts have caused harm as long as the person we harmed had it coming, provoked us, deserved it, was really asking for it, or practically forced us to do it—or, failing that, has not behaved perfectly, is in some way unlikable, or is acting unreasonably.” Integrity and values guide our behaviors and ethical commitment
