My Oldest Daughter: Ethical 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.

Neonatal Nursing is a career that attracts many individuals with a love for people, especially children. An individual with willpower, determination, and a loving heart. Someone who cares about someone else’s child as if they were their own. An individual who can be both sympathetic for other’s emotions while also dealing with their own. Neonatal nurses have to know how to handle stress, difficult decisions, and the loss of someone that they have come to love and with whom they have built a connection. An article by Strandas and Fredriksen states, “It is hard to imagine a more fragile and helpless group of patients than critically ill newborn or premature infants. The child is completely at the mercy of his care providers’ efforts and their

Most parents impose very high expectations on their children. While some expect their sons to become professionals in respected fields, others encourage their daughters to find good husbands. The parents impose these expectations without consulting their children. In most situations, the expectations of the parent deviate from the dreams of the child. This is what becomes evident when one reads Sandra Cisneros’ Only Daughter and Amy Tan’s Mother Tongue. In these short stories, the expectations that the parents of the narrators elicit mixed reactions. The expectations of the narrators’ parents hold them back from attaining personal goals while causing them to desperately desire approval and eventually accepting and embracing their parents..

Melinda has now involved Alex in a sex scandal, that could potentially affect the company and her career. Melinda should have informed Alex about the situation, before the situation escalated. Instead of reporting, she proceeded, making an unethical decision. She was using her sexuality to make a business deal, which caused her to get pregnant, as well as jeopardize her job, and the company's credibility. Alex needs to think about if Melinda is worth keeping. She has been causing issues that can impact the company, and their credibility.

Throughout history there has been many ethical dilemmas that have resulted in change, and many that have still not been resolve. These dilemmas often result in controversial issues arising, and both sides of the spectrum arguing as to which proposed idea is the morally correct one. Today, there is an enormous controversy in the ethical dilemma involving child care. This issue revolves around whether the views of the parents should be upheld when their child is in danger medically. To further assess the impact of this ethical dilemmas, a case study involving the treatment implemented on a child by a physician while opposing the views and wishes held by the parents will be analyzed in terms of the ethics of the situation, the stakeholders, values,

I walk pass a car and I hear a baby crying, I look closer and see a baby in the back seat on a hot summer day. I look around and the child’s parents are nowhere to be found. I call the police than I go in the back of my car and to my surprise I see my father’s crow bar. I went back to the child’s car and I crow the window open. I take the child out of the car and she is soaked in sweat, she is sobbing very heavily and the mother or father of this child is nowhere to be seen. The police arrive and take the baby out of my arms.

For this assignment I interviewed a Licensed Mental Health Counselor named Amanda Gilman and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist names Lois Dennett. Both were very informative about ethics in their practices. Both therapists currently have private practices, and in the past have worked within companies.

On Thursday August 4, 2016, I was at work. I was informed that there was a young man asking for my work schedule (what days I worked and time) and what car I drove. After no information was given out to him (Tala Toilolo) left my work location in which shortly after Johnnie contacted a former co-worker and a current employee. He asked for the same information. Someone came to my job before my shift was over to watch out for me and inform me of everything she had heard Johnnie and affliates were after. This person warned me to "watch my back, to never be alone, and that whenever I go out whether it was work or anywhere else to not leave anywhere until I made sure my ride arrived ." If someone overhears all this and is friends with

In her story, Tan portrays the danger of overly excessive parental control that may cause to damage the child and reason him or her to rebel against the morals child was taught. The mother lives her dreams through her daughter. She moved to America from China because she believed that it’s the Land of Opportunity. She wanted to give her daughter everything she did not have as a child, which is a chance to be successful. The mother expected her daughter to be a prodigy. She would set up unrealistic goals for a normal child like her daughter. She expected her to be talented, smart and one of a kind; she wanted her to be perfect. She would push her to be successful no matter of what the daughter was capable of. She forced her to play the piano,

I chose option B, because, I can most relate to it. One of the students I work with is in kindergarten and at the beginning of the year used foul language all the time. What I did to help her was set up a marble reinforcement system. She gets marbles for good behavior, and can cash in marbles at the end of the day for a prize, but if she used foul language she would get three marbles taken away for every bad word she said. I also sat down with her and explained why it is not appropriate to use foul language and showed her other words that were appropriate for her to explain her feelings. When it comes to Billy’s mom, I would do the same as I did with the student that I work with mom. Her teacher and I set up a meeting and talk to her about

Thanks for choosing to tackle an important ethical dilemma with such serious consequences and ramifications for both, the parents or legal guardians as well as the underage patient. I appreciated the background and the framework you provided as far as the funding availability for the provision of care to this minor, which has a significant impact independent of values and beliefs. Your respect for patient's rights, confidentiality, and well-being independent of your personal beliefs is admirable. That is a quality that I hold dear when providing patient care and expect to refine further in order to best serve my patients in a manner that is unbiased, ethical, and free of personal influences.

Despite of the increasing knowledge in healthcare and bioethics, care for critically ill children remains understudied in Canadian context. The prevailing theories in ethics of justice do not address adequately the complex moral problems involved in the care of vulnerable children. Patients often find themselves in a distress in facing a tragic dilemma with two unlikely options. In a tragic dilemma, patient must find meanings in the specific case and with the guidance of health care professionals and bioethics in making informed choices that reflect their values and beliefs. Using ethical concepts and theories, I will discuss the complex case of Mary Jane Peirce and formulate a comprehensive ethical decision using the Mcdonald’s Ethical

After the graduation ceremony, the school organized an event for students to attend instead of going to a party and drinking. It was named project graduation, we all met back at the school at 10 pm and took the buses to an arcade place. I went with a group of friends I was close with in high school. At first, it was fun playing games, and riding rides, refreshments, and food were provided too. When my best friend Cristina, Jimmy and I were outside on line for a ride, another friend of mine Casey asked: “Can I ride with you guys”. I said ok and right away my snobby friend Cristina said: “there is no room”. Clearly there was room for the four of us, I am the type of person that treats everyone, equally uncool or not. I did not like how Cristina treated her, so I walked away with my other friend. A persons’ character determines his or her traits for us to be good people. I am a compassionate, responsible, and caring person. This became an ethical dilemma because I felt I needed to make a choice, stay best friends with Cristina or ignore my other friend and hurt her feelings. I believe all people should treat other how they would want to be treated by doing right by God.In the end, Cristina and I stopped being friends because treating people kindly and fairly is very important to my

I have experienced this in the workplace and define this to be an ethical dilemma and will evaluate such situation by applying the Potter Box and Rest Four Components Model to analyze this case and contextualize how to navigate the problem if I were to re-encounter this situation again in the future.
