Should Colleges Promote Ethics

In her ten years as an Assistant Director of Residence Life, Dr. Sonia Rosado's impact on the Muir College Community as a whole is evident. Dr. Rosado does not claim the work she has done in Muir, but her impact cannot be understated.

Our modern education system expects teachers and, especially, students to abide by certain guidelines and rules. The goal of setting certain standards upon their students and faculty is to teach them limits and values. One of those regulations created by school institutions is the honor-code, which prevents students from plagiarizing and cheating off one another. Susan Greenberg, a journalism instructor and writer for the Washington Post, exposes the usage of honor-codes in colleges as an unnecessary restriction. Meanwhile Lynn Morton, an English professor at Queens University of Charlotte, acknowledges the beneficial effects honor-codes establish.

As you can see, the table shows that there were 42 females and 48 male students, with a total of 90 students.

I find that Bethel University’s ethics program is clear and concise, as well as, encourages a positive workplace mentality. In my opinion, I find that employee accountability to play a large role in this outcome. As a Bethel University employee, I have undergone countless hours of ethical training and critical thinking scenarios. Additionally, my training has afforded me the ability to think decisive while incorporating Bethel University’s value system into my decisions. The primary responsibility of the faculty is to provide guidance and solidify institutional quality as requested by the administration (Bethel University, 2016). As a Presbyterian-based university, we are subjected to the guidance of not only our administration but values

     I believe that a college education helps to develop maturity. Although this can really depend on the individual and at what point in their life they are attending college. I realize that I will need to work hard and prioritize in college in order to gain the most out of my time and the money invested. I have been in the business world for some time now and have realized that in order to move ahead

I think that college can benefit society as a whole. The better educated an individual is will not only benefit themselves but also the community. College simulates intellectual growth and allows people to develop future skills. I think that everyone should have the chance to attend college but they should only go if it’s their choice. My personal opinion of college is it’s an educational environment that allows you to develop your intellectual growth and practice problem solving situations that you will later use in the workplace or in your social life. I feel like I have learned more about developing workplace skills with on the job training than what I learned in college. College in America is definitely geared towards a business rather

Many perspectives can be taken when considering what fair is. As with most things, this too applies with the pay as you earn(PAYE) plan. The multiple angles and directions to view this plan lead to much conflict and controversy that keep this a trending topic, but even so, many people disagree on the degree of forgiveness this plan should permit.

While according to (Rabin, 2013), there was a case in which a robotic surgery resulted into complications where it was found that a surgical robot has damaged a patient's rectum during a surgery. Not only was that that case but also according to (Rabin, 2013) about 174 injuries have been attributed to Da Vinci Surgical system. And with more than a million procedures attributed to the system. But with these incidents like this, one has to wonder whether the producers of these systems follow any codes of conduct. Because according to the BCS codes of conduct for professionals on the principle of professional competence and integrity, professionals should always embark on building devices that will not harm others and by developing this surgical

I believe that colleges and universities must follow and respect the laws of their states. Certainly it is known that many killings are happening in schools, colleges, and universities must find a better solution for such acts. Sure, I think that no one should bring a firearm to school, college, but how can we be sure that no one brings weapons. I do not think anyone will check each student or teacher to see if brought his gun or not. That would be nearly impossible and difficult. I think we have a better education in values, and respect the differences of each person. Something we are a Muticultural country, full of different races and cultures. I think that this change should start a change in the family home of each person. That's where

Academic integrity is one of the most essential and punishing concepts ever created by the institution of academia. A University is the physical embodiment of Academia, and the University of Southern Maine is certainly no exception. Unlike High school where the student is simply faced with the learning of set ideas, University is something different altogether. Whereas high school is simply based off learning, Universities are based on two principles: The discovery/learning of already known ideas and the research and development of new ideas. This is where academic integrity comes to save the day, because if someone falsified a new idea or research, then who knows what research is legitimate or what facts to believe. The system of Academic integrity isn’t just made to be a punishment to students who didn’t bother to put the time into their work, its set in place as a protector of knowledge and free information. This fact alone proves why the academic integrity and all of its specifics are a necessary, justified protectors of knowledge and truth within the University System.

Ethics has been defined as a set or moral principles; it’s a branch of philosophy, which people use to maintain structure in society, ethics deals with human values and what they perceived to be right or wrong. For twenty years I grew up in a diverse community in Miami, FL, where each individual had their own views on undesirable social issues. The way they made ethical decision was impacted by their religion, culture and/ or social group. For a long time, I assumed I came to an ethical decision base off my religion, however, I was wrong. Taking introduction to ethnic class and learning exactly what it means to have morals and values is what actually affected me to make ethical decisions. This class allowed me to have wide perspective on social issues and it gave me the courage to be more open to others idea.

Business ethics is now a requirement in most schools and it mainly focuses on organizational ethics. I think business ethics should also focus on personal ethics and moral development. It is because personal ethics would give students and peers to know what they actually think about morality. Educating students about personal ethics would also be helpful to them in the future. Personal ethics will teach students to do what they believe is right. At times, students may face situations where it is not easy to make a decision, but if they have knowledge and know what personal ethics is, then it will help them in making better decisions. Also, the course should not stay behind when it comes to compliance and ethics program. Both of the things are

In higher education, there is an ethical dilemma: for the professor, how to deal with the question that whether or not the professor pays the salary to their student who help them in the academic research or project. If the answer is yes, how much salary they should pay.

In accordance with the business school’s Code of Ethical Behavior, I attest that I have not engaged in any acts of plagiarism in completing the assignments. – Ian Gregory

The Code of Ethics is absolutely essential for every education major to have a strong understanding of. This code presents the main rules and regulations that apply to future teachers to ensure the best behavior and actions possible, inside and outside of the classroom. It is a clear guide of unethical activities that teachers may never indulge in without risking suspension, revocation, denial, or reprimand of any teaching certificate. The code is broken down into eleven different standards which are easy for educators to understand and abide by.
