How I Manage Ethical Situations And Dilemmas

People from all walks of life face many ethical dilemmas. These dilemmas have consequences. Our worldview determines how we deal with these dilemmas, and guides us to the right decisions. In this essay, I will examine an ethical issues through my Christian worldview. I will also present other viewpoints, and compare them to mine.

From job-related experiences, when I am placed into situations with individuals who have different ethics from me, I cautiously take steps to determine ethical dilemmas choices without violating the rights or opinions of all involved. In addition, the experiences working with teams at work, have taught me to carefully view the opinions of others before entering into open disagreement over a given course of action. I strongly believe, apart from the ethical position,. an individual has his or her individual right to express their opinion. The results of my EAI, combined with my experiences throughout school and work, have educated me that all ethical decisions require cautious thought. I firmly believe, in order to achieve the best results, one needs to take numerous factors including but limited to culture, into consideration while also allowing for future implications of any action dictated by ethical decisions I make.

In journalism, an ethical dilemma is a complex issue or situation that often involves an emotional and psychological conflict between moral obligations and duties, in which to obey one would transgress the other. Within the media there are many stories that can be deemed an ethical dilemma; some more so than others. One of the most recent and prominent ethical dilemmas was the worldwide coverage surrounding the shooting of two American WBDJ journalists, Alison Parker and Adam Ward. Despite the fact that the shooter filmed the ordeal clearly showing the two slain journalists being shot, news outlets had picked it up and ran with the story, which ultimately went viral in minutes. This essay will analyse and thoroughly examine the reporting

Dear Leo, -I had a conversation with my case manager Ms., Mila from WSIB she told me that I needed to go to a specialty clinic to get a new diagnosis on my soft tissue injuries because you sent her such referral for me nonetheless I was never informed by you nor you discussed such referral with me in my first visit to the physiotherapy clinic where we met and you completed form 8 for WSIB conversely Dr. Daniels as a family physician with high ethical standards with his professional practice got very concerned that I might had internal bleeding when my co-worker took me after picking me from the stairs injured and upon my request he drove me to his walking clinic where my co-worker narrated to Dr. Daniels as a witness my accident Dr. Daniels

There are some times when there is no choice but to make decisions with possible ethical consequences at some point in any human services career when an ethical dilemma is faced. If one chooses not to make a decision, it is a decision itself (Keith-Spiegel & Koocher , 2010).

Ethics and ethical decision making play a large role in the duties of the coroner, everything they can affects someone or something. The main ethic would be confidentiality; the only topics that are not confidential are cause and manner of death. Any other information can only be given to legal next of kin. For example, if the media call asking about a homicide the only information the office will release is the cause and manner of death. However, if the decedent’s next of kin calls we are able to release any and all information to them.

Before that question can be answered; I must identify and define what the term ethical is (A. Puente, personal communication, November 17, 2015). According to Dictionary.com (n.d.) it is defined as:

The topic that I chose to write about this week is ethical decision making when it pertains to social workers. Ethics is described as the moral or right thing to do in any situation, whether it is business, healthcare, or social work. Social workers, in particular, have to make very tough ethical decisions when it concerns their clients. This article is reflecting how the person-in-situation handles a particular situation using their personal ethics.

When faced with ethical dilemmas, medical practitioners should be guided by the ethical precepts of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice. These ethical precepts are of absolute importance in which ethical problems, faced in medicine, are taught to professionals and medical students alike (Christen, Ineichen & Tanner, 2014). Where conflicting obligations and responsibilities are faced, these codes will also provide some sort of framework in making informed choices (Turner, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to briefly explain what these four precepts are, and to apply them to the disciplines of psychotherapy, public health and scientific research to demonstrate how important and vital it is to adhere to them. I will also apply

Both philosophical approaches are infused with flaws, the use of “utilitarian” thinking is not always clear of what form of action should be taken or if the action you took will have a favorable outcome for the majority. It is difficult to judge what decision will supply the best way to respond to a situation. The universal approach unlike the utilitarian bases its decisions on the facts that the action taken is best for everyone regardless of the situation or the difference in people. My choice between the two is somewhat tossed, because my belief is that you should do unto other as you would want done to you, but at the same time my desire to ensure the greatest number of success is important to me as well. Within the Judicial system decisions are made with or without the input of others; however it is our moral obligation to ensure that we

The first thing we as staff, legal assistants, paralegals, or attorneys can do, is educate ourselves on all the ways the abuse may take place and what abuse may initially or develop into “looking like.” So, in this scenario we are asked to identify the professional responsibility red flags, that should be immediately identified and alerted to when Ruthann and Jay entered the office. To respond correctly to this in an immediate sense, upon when they enter the office, I have to honestly say, I would have to put my suspicions aside at the immediate entrance and maintain a neutral interaction with Ruthanne and Jay.

Professionally, my ethics have given me grief when facing someone of a different ethical stance. As the EAI states, "Defending [my] ethical perspective may result in economic hardship, e.g., a lost promotion or termination" (WIEM, 2003). Such was the case when a former coworker argued that Policy X was right because it benefited the company. I, however, felt Policy X did not benefit the employees working for the company, and our argument, though resulting in a policy change, also resulted in both of us losing eligibility for a pay raise due to our inability to resolve the conflict ourselves.

According to Nickerson (n.d.), “organ donation is the act of donating an organ by a person and it can be transplanted by surgical procedure in the body of the recipient (para.1)”. This procedure is made with fully informed consent from the donor. Organ donation is one of the most popular topic and many are not aware for the good benefit of it. According to Midwest Transplant Network (2010), it can helps the “recipient largely by continuing and maintaining quality of life, improving health, adding another span of life and saving him from even death (MTN, 2010).”

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).

I have an example in which my personal ethics were greatly tested. When I was still working as an Assistant Security Director, the head Security Director was a very harsh, uncaring, pushy type of a person. He often treated all of his employees very poorly. He called everyone awful names. Once an employee had made a mistake within their job duties, my boss would forever hold that over their heads and often referred to those employees as “his retards.” He would even introduce them to other people that were hired into our department as retard # 1, 2, & 3.
