Reflection Paper On Ethics

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.

In learning unit 1 I was educated about Ethics, Politics, and Diversity. This unit discussed whether or not actions are ethical. Ethics is a moral standard of right and wrong. For example, one time I noticed someone cheating on an exam and I didn’t know if it was right or not to let my substitute teacher know that the student was cheating. I didn’t want to be called names if the cheater found out. So, I messaged my dad and asked for his advice whether or not I should tell. My dad told me that I should leave it alone unless I was certain that the student was cheating. Therefore, I didn’t let my teacher know. This furthered my knowledge by applying ethics to this situation because now I know that personal values and morals impact my ethical behavior. If I didn’t have strong personal values and morals then I wouldn’t of cared if the student cheated or not. Furthermore, attitude in learning unit 1 changed my perspective on situations. For example, I value scrapbooking and scrapbooking costs a lot of money for all the materials

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.

The course of Ethics 3341-01 was a real eye opener for me this year. Initially going into the course I expected to gain a general over view of what Ethics is, and the relationship it has to the world. However, we were able to analyze the relationship of ethics and how it applies to the different sectors of public life. Not only did we look at a police officers perspective of living by a moral code, we also focused on other individuals within society, such as judges, citizens, and attorneys. This course showed the different sides of morality and how easy it is for individuals to loose their way. Within our society today there are numerous problems being faced and police and other members of the law enforcement are trying to help combat these

Step 1: About 7% of the rich world's jobs are held by people from developing countries and an aging population who cannot fill the vacant positions currently available. Lant Pritchett proposal is to have 16 million of the poor became part of a guest worker program. In the United States for example; 3 million guest workers would stay 3 to 5 years, without citizenship. They could not bring their families, but they would have some protection through the certification process for these guest workers.

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.

The ethical dilemma that I intend to analyze in this paper is, whether the right to free speech and expression which fall under the broader head of individual rights should be absolute or should there be censorship over the rights for the overall harmony/good of the society? My task here is to lay out the ethical theories under which the above stated issue can be evaluated. The three main types of moral codes are Egoism, Altruism and Cynical Exploitation. This discussion will regard the egoist theory, altruism theory and cynical exploitation in evaluating the dilemma.

In the world today, when there is an unanswered question, I go to the internet and ask Google for the answer. Sometimes, the answer is sufficiently placed atop the resulting query and, sometimes I need to rephrase my question but, sometimes, I find search engines feeding me information filled with deceit and buffoonery. So how exactly is the information scooped by the spoonful from the immense bowl of data bits and displayed before me? I expect that when I throw a rock toward a star, the whole sky falls with information relative to my casting focus. Instead, I am served

“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)

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.
