Ethical dilemmas occur when there is a disagreement about a situation and all parties involved question how they should behave based on their individual ethical morals. (Newman & Pollnitz, 2005). The dilemma that I will be addressing in this essay involves Michael, recently employed male educator working in the nursery, and parents of a baby enrolled at the centre. The parents have raised concerns about male educators changing their child’s nappy as they have cultural practices that do not allow this practice to take place. This situation is classed as an ethical dilemma as there is a dispute between cultural beliefs and legal requirements within the workplace. There are four parties involved (parents, child, educator and director), all

Nurses are faced with ethical dilemmas every day. There are a lot of different beliefs surrounding ethics and the code of ethics. Ethics and ethical issues have always existed, that is why they have put in place the code of ethics. The American Nursing Association (ANA) Code of Ethics isa guideline to help nurses determine which course of action to pursue. Every minute many ethical decisions are made, some may not comply with guidelines and others the patient’s will never understand. In this case study the nurse is put in an uncomfortable position and has two find a way to comply with the family, the patient, and the doctor’s orders.How can she report to the doctor the information the daughter has told her? How she approached

Plagiarism, defined by Merriam Webster Dictionary, is “the act of using another person's words or ideas without giving credit to that person”, but in simpler terms is the wrongful copying of another’s work for your own(Merriam-Webster). Plagiarism though seeming like a simple offense, can cause the downfall, if not caught, of a creative person and their work. However when justice is served, and the plagiarizer is caught, they can lose everything from their reputation to even their job. Even though plagiarism seems like a common sense crime not to commit, people such as Joe Biden, Jane Goodall, and even president Barack Obama, have been found to plagiarize another’s work. For the purpose of this essay, Jayson Blair, a once up and coming

Plagiarism is a serious issue that may diminish the value of a scholarly work and interferes with the professional growth of an individual. For example, in 2003, Jayson Blair resigned from his position as a reporter for the New York Time because of “alleged plagiarism” (Dolak, 2003). Another case of plagiarism would be Matthew C. Whitaker, an associate professor at Arizona State University who in 2011 and 2015 was accused of plagiarism (Ryman, 2017). In both scenarios, Jayson Blair and Matthew C. Whitaker failed to properly paraphrase and cite sources (Dolak, 2003; Ryman 2017).

As a result of the foregoing, an actual controversy has arisen and now exists between plaintiffs and defendants DPR concerning their respective rights and duties. Plaintiffs contend that their security interests in the collateral described in the security agreements continued notwithstanding the sale or disposition to defendants DPR of the collateral, and continue to this day or, alternatively, defendants DPR should be estopped from asserting any right, title, or interest in the collateral senior or adverse to the security interests of plaintiffs in that recognition of any priority interest by defendants DPR would sanction fraud and promote injustice because recognition would effectively render plaintiffs’ security interest illusory, thus allowing

On controversial ethical issues, I am a universalist believing in my viewpoints of ethical issues such as abortion, euthanasia are non-negotiables. For controversial ethical issues I would not waiver against the ethical issues however, I realize not everyone has the same viewpoint. I believe it is important to create laws and regulations for society to comply to provide guidelines to contend with controversial issues which disrupt the humans and society. The viewpoint of the universalist and relativists are clearly different on the ethical issues of abortion and euthanasia. It is extremely important to maintain a balance between these two strong factions which often collide on their viewpoints trying to change the laws to suit their morals

In this matter of the use of anencephalics as organ donors, the New Natural Law theorist must first consider that which is alive, what constitutes life in the eyes of the current law system, and the value of a life for the possible extension of another life, or possibly lives. I have come to the conclusion that New Natural Law would allow for an anencephalic to be an organ donor on the basis that it would not have the ability to live and pursue self- sustainable life, therefore the right to life is the moral fulfillment that this particular ethicist would pursue. Phronesis applied to the individual in question would not allow for life to be pursued since the child is born dying due to lack of means to survive. The moral fulfillment of the New Natural Law Theory is human flourishing based upon the virtuous pursuit of the seven basic and reflexive goods of the theory. Therefore, any anencephalic is born in a vegetative state and in essence is born dying, however science would prove that any human being is naturally born dying. The very fact that one is born means that there is death for that life.

There have been several researches, which suggests that constant crying may negatively affect interaction with the child. With that said, mothers have described as less responsible, sensitive, and affectionate. That can be the reason why there might be a relationship between crying and physical abuse of infants. “‘Physical abuse is the leading cause of injury- related infant death, and the incidence of inflicted traumatic brain injury for children under 1 year of age had been estimated at 30 per 100,000’”. Crying is associated with violent physical abuse against infants, the crying makes the caregiver desperate and shakes or physical abuses the child to get him to stop crying. There is not much research about the topic because of the ethical issues because it’s hard to manipulate the crying of a baby. The studies that have been conducted related to this topic have used recording of a baby cry. One of the few studies that have been made regards the crying of

I am a counselor and educator at the Hemophilia Foundation in Chicago, Illinois. I work with individuals and families who are at risk for AIDS and HIV. During my first session with John on Monday, he disclosed his concern that he might have contracted HIV during a blood transfusion. In fact, John agrees the best course of action is to be tested for HIV. On Wednesday, John comes in my office after finding out that he tested positive for HIV. In addition, John would like for me to help break the news of his diagnosis to his girlfriend Sally, and her parents. Unfortunately, I did receive a call from the hospital stating that John is in the ICU with pneumonia and AIDs.

I am employed with the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (H&H) located on Rikers Island. The agency is responsible for providing appropriate services to all individuals receiving mental health treatment throughout all of the New York City jails. There are nine correctional facilities located on Rikers Island and three borough jails and New York City Department of Corrections (DOC) and H&H works together to provide services for all inmates. DOC provides care, custody, and control to the inmates/patients, while H&H staff are the direct care providers responsible for providing services e.g. medical, dental, mental health, pharmacy, etc. All staff either working for DOC or H&H must be cleared by DOC and/or New York City Department of Investigations (DOI). Additionally, all staff are provided security trainings and consistently educated on boundaries and undue familiarity, none the less, boundaries are crossed, at times to the extent that laws are broken.

In every nurse’s career, there are times when you have to decide when to do the right thing regardless of what you want to do. These decisions are not easy to make and often create ethical dilemmas. Situations will arise, and nurses have a duty to protect the patients and themselves. This paper will outline a significant event in my practice that caused an ethical dilemma.

The ethical dilemma is a situation by which it’s difficult to determine whether a situation is can be handled without disappointing both sides. Therefore, an ethical dilemma exists when the right thing to do is clear or when members of the healthcare team cannot agree on the right thing to do. Ethical dilemmas require negotiation of different points of view (potter, Perry, Stockert, & Hall 2011pg 78).
