The ring of gyges allows people to perform unethical acts without any consequences and if anyone given the ring they would be unethical because they could get away with the acts caused. I do think temptations to engage in wrong doing for personal gain is an outcome. We live in a society where most of us have been taught to care for oneself or another. When an opportunity like this comes I believe many people would jump to use the gyges ring for one’s benefit regardless of consequences. With a situation like this a person who abuses the power of the ring has become morally bad and suffered irreparable failings if a good character, while a person that choses willingly not to use the gyges ring is at least at peace with themselves. I believe

As future DNP’s, we will be faced with patients who wish to end their life due to a terminal illness. We have to remember our ethical principles, and we have to be advocates for our patients. Our patients should not be judged for how they want their end of life care to be. Our patient’s safety should not be jeopardized. As future primary care providers, we might take care of patients who clearly states in their advance directives, that if they reach a terminal stage in their disease, they do not want to live anymore. We would have to communicate with our patients and let them know where PAS is legalized. I stand by my statement that PAS is ethical. Healthcare providers are not performing an action that is against the patient’s will.
I want to start off on some history about the Code of Ethics and how they got started. According to Sheryl Hopkins, in 1991, corporate America began to develop codes of ethics and related ethics and compliance programs to comply with the newly enacted Federal Sentencing Guidelines for Organizations (FSGO). The FSGO had some requirements for businesses, one of the requirements were to have a “high level” person with overall responsibility for the program and an individual with day to day responsibility who periodically reports to high level management. (Hopkins). While Shannon Filing is the president and owner of the business she does not report to anyone in particular, but she said to me “While I don’t have anyone to report to, I have mentors
This same type legislation could easily be implemented in all states for the protection of those horses in need of similar protections. Other groups to be considered are the scientific communities themselves. Technicians involved in animal care, veterinarians, researchers in animal husbandry could participate in the implementation of ethical principles that would coincide with the” 3Rs” policies of horse protection.
If I was CEO of Grokster, what I would do to make my service compliant with copyright laws would be to contact the companies or persons that own the material, and obtain copyright permissions before using their materials. Doing this would help to be sure that Grokster is not violating any copyright laws.
The Ring of Gyges is a mythical magical artifact. It granted its owner the power to become invisible at will. It is meant to show that if any man, even the simplest of simple farmer were given the power to act unjustly and not suffer the consequences of his actions, and he would abuse his power, and act unjustly. Glaucon argues why laws exists in the first place. To do that he considers what a world without laws would be like and hypothesizes that without any regulation people would do whatever was best for themselves, so basically the world would have been full of selfish people and things would have been crazy. He also argued that, “if someone had a ring which made him invisible, then that person would be foolish not to use it for personal
The Myth of Gyges Ring is a story about a man who came upon a ring that gives him the ability of being invisible. With the possession of this ring, the man was enabled to commit several unjust acts without being discovered. It was a story told by Glaucon and it serves as an important factor in the dialogue. This factor is one that leads others in the conversation to stop and truly think if they would take advantage of the ring to undergo unjust behaviors. Then, if those individuals found themselves saying yes, it would imply that the reason why they don’t commit injustice normally is not necessarily because they are good people, but because they do not want to be punished or jeopardize their reputation in any way. This brings us to the next

While achieving our desires may bring us some form of happiness, Plato and Hobbes suggest that happiness does not always mean getting what we want. In The Republic, Plato states that true happiness can only be achieved if an individual is a moral and virtuous human being, and, throughout his novel, devotes himself to countering Thrasymachus’ argument that such virtue actually hinders one to achieve happiness. Thrasymachus furthers his argument by mentioning the thought experiment of the Ring of Gyges, which demonstrates that if an individual is able to not be punished by acting immorally, he could achieve happiness without being a virtuous person. However, Plato counters by asserting that the individual who does not succumb to abusing great power and instead refrains from using them, is the one who

The gods and goddesses played a pivotal role in the decisions made by the mortals they watched over in the Iliad and the Aeneid, but many of the questionable moral choices were made by the characters’ own free will. During these stories, the characters were manipulated in different ways depending on how it would benefit each god or their deaths were sealed by “fate” and unchangeable. Even though the gods interfered with the lives of mortals, they had choices about honor and integrity and chose to act on them accordingly. Today, people are held accountable for their actions and everyone is given a choice and moral compass about what is right or wrong. Free will allows people to live happily and unrestricted, but in terms of social
Unfortunately, the reasons are far more deeply rooted than just criminal tendencies. According to Chuck Gallagher (2014), in his article from the Compliance and Ethics Professional journal, there are three main bad behaviors, commonly called ‘the fraud triangle’ in ethical circles. These behaviors are need, opportunity, and rationalization (p. 26). Need is the primary emotional state that begins the transformation from ethical to unethical decision making. It could be financial need; it could be the need for power. Opportunity is the ability for an individual to commit the unethical behavior. No matter how much need someone may have, if there is no opportunity, it will not happen. Service members have a multitude of opportunities to
"Our results indicate that the informal methods ("manager sets an example" or "social norms of the organization") are likely to yield greater commitment with respect to both employee attitudes than formal methods ("training courses on the subject of ethics") (Adam, et al, 2004).
