At the beginning of the semester, when I thought of my take on ethics, and the nature of ethics; I immediately went to my religious beliefs. Through the semester I learned about so many different approaches to understand the way people believe, and do things. Ethics are principles and values that help lead people to make the choices they make daily, and the things they value the most. It really opened my mind, and my eyes to see more of a perspective. As far as the good life, I said that at first it was considered to live carefree, and in luxury. Now, I think the overall goal as in the ethical view of the good life is to pursue happiness, or in Eudaimonia.
2.) My theory of the right and the good all reflect on my religious beliefs. The right is making choices that are pleasing to God. The good is valuing God’s commandments, the bible, and our convictions as Christians. An example of the right would be choosing not to participate in breaking any of the laws that are in place, this is in the bible where it states to obey the law of the land; this is stated in Romans 13:1-14. One example of the good would be honoring convictions God might have placed on your heart, such as wearing skirts; to present modesty. These personal values that Christians hold tight to their heart, allow us to go through this life and do the best we can unto others, represent love, and unity; and learn to forgive.
3.) One theory that is dissimilar to my own worldview is Buddhism. This theory
On the other hand although their similarities are close knit; they each have a distinct difference depending on the individual. For instance, recently the complex next door caught fire due to bad wiring. The company put all the tenants up for the weekend because they believed that this is what they ought to do. After the weekend the tenants were told that the situation had been turned over to their insurance company and it was out of their hands. The tenants believe that the company should hold their self-responsible and accommodate them much more.
Is pleasing the customers, and telling them what they might want to hear, more important than being honest with them? When clients ask the company for reports, their main interest should be to get a thorough and comprehensive analysis. If they were only looking for a confirmation of what they wanted to hear, they should not need the research.
Which of the following is not a provision of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act?
These issues are all of ethical concerns, but are also legal concern according to the fact that is illegal to not completely attempt resuscitative efforts in the absence of a DNR.
Choice 2: A married couple, both addicted to drugs, are unable to care for their infant daughter. She is taken from them by court order and placed in a foster home. The years pass. She comes to regard her foster parents as her real parents. They love her as they would their own daughter. When the child is 9 years old, the natural parents, rehabilitated from drugs, begin court action to regain custody. The case is decided in their favor. The child is returned to them, against her will. Does ethics support the law in this case? Discuss.

With a store like this it is important that if you are promoting the flavors of the world they you would also represent the people of those regions. A diverse workforce that is familiar with these ingredients and foods would also show that the owner take a
A display of public art is not a random act of expression encapsulated across a large canvas overnight but a formulated piece of culture for society to witness and experience. Each piece we have seen this semester has embodied the time and effort it takes to not only create a piece of art worth seeing but giving it a story and meaning more powerful than the piece itself. These pieces have given its audience a glimpse into the known, what the cameras and media neglect. Pieces like the To Protect and Serve, Vietnam Memorial, and Bus Poster all go deeper than the surface to deliver a compelling message that outlines a serious issue.
When the stock market goes up one day, and then goes down for the next five, then up again, and then down again, that’s what you call market volatility.

“Great individuals have great ethics and great values.” Ethics and morality can be used interchangeably as they sound as if they mean the same although there is a wide distinction between them. “Strictly speaking, morality is used to refer to what we would call moral standards and moral conduct while ethics is used to refer to the formal study of those standards and conduct. For this reason, the study of ethics is also often called moral philosophy." (Gordana D 2007)
Ethics is a set of moral values, principles, norms or standards that guide our relationships and behaviour that inform moral choices when conducting a research study (Buchholtz and Carroll (2012) and Saunders et al. (2009)). According to Crowther and Lancaster (2009), unethical issues in research include violation of privacy, nondisclosure and confidentiality requirements, misrepresentation of results and deception. Ethical considerations in research are there to ensure that the research process does not cause harm or other undesirable negative consequences to the respondents and stakeholders involved in the research.
The word “ethics” comes from Greek ethikas meaning character. Today, we use ethics to describe the normative standard of behavior. The history of philosophical ethics has been broken up into five rational methods: Virtue, Traditional, Modern, and Post-Modern Ethics. Within these periods, the philosophy of ethics changed along with the changes being made within society.
When we first started learning about Aristotles’ theory, I did not understand the importance. Aristotle wrote, Nicomachean Ethics many years ago. It did not seem like any of it would pertain to my life. After reading into his theory, I found it to be quite interesting. It was a lot more relatable than I originally thought. When we know what we are looking for, we can find aspects of his theory everywhere.
