Objective Ethical Perspectives

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

In his writing, A Practical Companion to Ethics, Anthony Weston explains people are more judgmental and it causes a lot more problems than solutions. Anthony Weston feels Ethics requires us to be mindful thinkers, because it helps fight unjust prejudgment. I personally feel this could help fix court systems, federal, and state wide corruption. Most importantly being a mindful thinker could help businesses. There are so many reasons that could fall under Anthony’s theory. Getting to know the author and his work. I feel his mindful thinking is to reach out to others and interact with more people in an expressive way. Weston believes this will help our community progress in a positive manner towards others. I think he feels ethics requires us

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

Understanding the different situations that we must face daily is one of the main goals in our lives. Aware or not of that goal, we constantly find ourselves trying to figure out what is happening around us and why people say or act in certain ways. The Homo sapiens possess an extraordinary level of cognition as a mean to understand reality. Ethical Objectivism also called Moral Realism is a theory that holds as its principle that we as individuals must think objectively to be able to analyze any situation rationally. This theory somehow leads to egoism because morality directly benefits our self-interests . If we keep in mind all the great things modern human has been able to accomplish so far its because the capacity of working together

Puffery is often described as meaningless or legal form of deceptive advertising that uses exaggerated or subjective claims that cannot be proven true or even false. Such as “The best" or "premier". For example Pizza chain papa John's had the slogan "Better Ingredients."

The validity of the research assessed through triangulation. Obtaining the data from in several stages through observation, open-ended questionnaire also some questions of the interview helped to have different sources of data that can justify and complete the data.

The three main pillars of philosophy are metaphysics, epistemology, and ethics. Ethics can be defined as the study of morality, or the study of the distinction between right and wrong.

The term ‘ethical’, as I have come to apprehend it, is not just conforming to putative standards of conduct, but dealing with what is good or bad and with moral duty and obligation. Thomas A. Schwandt, a professor at the University of Illinois, notes that “while we can live in a world without standards and guidelines, we cannot live in a world without ethics.” Although, standards and guidelines have become prominent and are important guides in today’s evaluation process, a greater emphasis is laid on high ethical standards. Evaluators are faced with challenging issues in which they are expected to act in ways that are consistent with the principles of the company and epitomize exemplary

There are three ethical theories that are three different studies of how human beings ought to live. There three are deontology, utilitarianism and virtue ethics. Deontology is based on duties. It is theory that we are morally obligated to follow a certain set of rules. One of the most well known deontologists is Immanuel Kant. He came up with how we should morally live based on deontology. He believes that an action should not have any motives behind it; it should just be the moral obligation. There is the categorical imperative that is if you aim to be ethical, moral, good, that means never treating anyone as a mere means. A mere means is using someone or an act of manipulation. He came up with universalization test, which is a way to

Ethics is the code of conduct that is widely known in this society. The ethical theory of Aristotle states that the good moral of human beings is as a result of the rational reasoning of human beings over what is wrong or right. He argued that whatever is thought to be good has to be applied to everywhere. On the other side of the story, Immanuel Kant’s ethical theory states that the individual’s ethical morals are the result of the combination of the ability to reason rationally and the presence of the good character traits in an individual. Both reasonable theory’s nothing wrong with either of them.

Ethics also known as moral philosophy is a branch of philosophy that involves the classification, defense and endorsement of concepts of right and wrong actions that govern an individual’s behavior. Based on the “Billy and Suzy” scenario from a utilitarian ethical perspective, I would choose to follow Billy to ensure that nothing transpires between him and the lady he left the bar with. The best action to take would be to follow him and ensure that he does not leave for the night with the lady. I would force him into a cab if need be and ensure he gets home. Utilitarianism is a normative ethical theory that places the morality of right and wrong solely on the consequences and effects of choosing to take one course of action over another. This is in light of taking into account the interests of others over your own.

Research has had many benefits on people in the past, whether it has been to the benefit of the subjects, the researcher gaining a better understanding, or even to the benefit of larger communities. Unfortunately, poorly planned and conducted research has also harmed many people (Wilkinson, 2001). Ethical reasoning allows us to ensure that the circumstances in research are justifiable and that the people and the surroundings involved in the research are well looked after. It also enables us to think ahead of possible issues that might arise while conducting the investigation, empowering us to be prepared with potential solutions.

While it would be nice to think that it is easy to make decisions and all come to the same conclusion, this is not always the case. Unfortunately, even regarding ethical decisions where you may think a right and wrong way exist may not be easy to determine. Since everyone has different backgrounds and therefore, different perspectives, we may not agree on what the best course of action is to take in a difficult decision. While I believe that character is the most important, someone else may think that as long as the majority is satisfied that their decision is best. An exercise created by the Williams Institute for Ethics and Management looks at four different perspectives which are referred to using

Ethics is an area of study that deals with concepts of what is regarded to as wrong or right (Brown, Harrison & Trevino, 2005). This paper will focus on how I think through and determine what is wrong and right in my daily life. It will also give examples of ethical behaviors and how cultural heritage has shaped my values. Further, it will describe the nature of four ethical behaviors I have. In addition, it will identify a noble hero that has served as my role model as well as their characteristics. It will further describe how this hero has influenced my value system. Moreover, it will explain my implicit ethical decision-making style including how this course and my cultural heritage have served as influential factors.

Opinions lead our society. Everyone is entitled to their reasoning and how strongly they feel that their approach to life is the right way. Moral beliefs are the stone foundation behind the way people think and their ethics. Look at morals as code of conduct. Each society has its own moral beliefs but come to an understanding that everyone’s entitled is clear. It’s a rule that’s not writing as a law but more so the common way. The act of a person behavior all falls into their ethical belief. Different people causes for different responds to a situation. Furthermore ethics’ is a way to solidify the difference between good, bad or wrong and right.
