Should Justin Ellsworth’s Parents Have Been Given Access to His Email?

As human beings and citizens of the world, everyone values their privacy. It is a right that is often looked over and taken for granted by most. Since the beginning of time, there have been concerns about individuals’ rights to privacy and their personal information remaining confidential. Our founding fathers had concerns about this which is why, “…this right has developed into

If information about a child or family information needs to be passed on then parent permission is needed, this is

What happened was Roxy Leger, needed to take additional time off after the pregnancy of her son. As the bookkeeper of the firm, the company believed that she had been provided this when she took maternity to leave prior to giving birth. Under the policies that company had in place, they gave all employees approximately three days for maternity leave. The problem began after Leger came back to work and demanded that she is given more time under the law. This created a hostile atmosphere between executives and herself. This resulted in Leger facing tremendous amounts of harassment from managers about her pregnancy and the extra time that she needed (which led to her termination from the company).

From the legal perspective and the plaintiff's claim based on Title VII of the Civil Right Act, however, the company has a legal support to establish such policy since its primary business

Brooks Pharmaceuticals have to prove that discrimination against these employees was not because of their age. The dismissal of theses employees was solely based on their performance. Failure by the company to prove the fact, there would be legal problems for the organization.

Another key value in this case is Confediality, mostly for the safety of the family. As NASW describes “Social workers should discuss with clients and other interested parties the nature of confidentiality and limitations of clients’ right to confidentiality” (National Association of Social Workers, 2008); since the school has been discussing the family in negative ways I would want to have a talk with faculity about the attention this can cause. In reality the family being put out in the

In high school, a parent has to be aware of everything that goes on with their child's life. Then their child grows up and blossoms into an adult that continues their education into college. There in college the parents of these blossoms are no longer as aware of what goes on with their school life. These parents have little control over what goes on academically and socially while their adult children are in college. In the article, “College Kids Have Too Much Privacy” Michele Willins shows us that parents have a right to know what is going on with their children’s college life.

whether the child is of sufficient age to independently consent to treatment. 2. How the release of information may impact the therapeutic treatment relationship. 3. Whether there are active concerns about abuse or neglect by the parent requesting the information. 4. Whether the child’s treatment was provided in individual sessions or conjointly with the custodial parent; and the purpose of the request. In the state of Florida, in most cases the non-custodial parent has the same right to visitation and shred custody as the custodial parent. The non-custodial parent has access to all the same information and documents pertaining to the child’s welfare. This happens unless the courts say otherwise. The ethical issues addressed in this case are the fathers trust that the medical records would not be released. The worker would be going against the fathers wish, but if they didn’t give the mother access to the records, they would be denying a worried mother the right to know about her child. Either way the worker could feel somewhat guilty (NASW,2006).

When confronted with several competing moral obligations, how does one decide what has top priority? If faced with an opportunity to protect a family member and their future, is betrayal, dishonesty and future deception acceptable? These are important questions to keep in mind when examining the deeply complex case of Damien and Daniella. Damien is a 16yr old, low income, high school student currently in the process of being scouted by University of Oregon, and an offer of a full ride scholarship in his grips. Daniella is a 19yr old fresh out of high school student. Two things these different people have in common is they are in a relationship with one another. The complex issue is the relationship can now be proven that it is far more than platonic or non-sexual by none other than older brother of Damien, Joel. Joel is a post conventional young man, who has just accidentally heard, Damien’s adult girlfriend, Daniella say something on the phone regarding her pregnancy and potential abortion. Joel who was raised by two conservative’s pro-life individuals -opposite of Daniella’s liberal upbringing- now has an immense burden to shoulder. Does he protect his baby brother Damien and try to see to it that Damien gets the opportunity he never had to go to college? Or respect Daniella’s right to privacy? Finally, possibly consider maybe this choice needs to be taken from the couple and bring their parents into the conversation, along with the

In other words, utilitarianism stays that the best decision is the one that would benefit the majority. In this case the stakeholders are Luka, Owen, their families and the company. If Luke decides to take this approach, he would have to analyze each stakeholder’s point of view and come up with the decision that would bring the greatest good for the large number. He will have to ask himself which decision would affect the least at both parties? If by telling his brother would ruin not only the project but also potential employees? On the other hand, the company could go ahead and do the project anyway if he tells his brother not to tell anyone else.

They should have the right to make their own decisions. The ethical issue that arises in this case is whether the parent should have limited access to their son/daughters medical records. When it comes to privacy I believe that the parents should be limited in what they are able to access in the electronic medical record because some of the things that might be place in the record might be something very personal that the patient might not want to share with their parents. I would advice the practice leaders that the pediatric patients should be given the right to decide who is able to access their records and to what

If I were in the position of the pregnant employee, I wouldn´t agree if the company fire me. As pregnant employees are overprotected, I would fight against the company until they lose the case.

Alice is an assistant communications director at Mammoth College, where she is in charge of discussing the programs and facilities the college has to offer. When discussing the college to high school students, a prospective student and father seek her opinion on “If you had a friend or relative who hoped to get into a top law school, would you recommend Moline College to him?" Alice faces an ethical issue, she is not sure if she should be honest and tell the student and his father that the school doesn’t have the best pre law programs, or present the school in the most favorable lights, since she could potentially lose her job. What I suggest, Alice to do is be honest to the father, giving him all the information necessary so they can form their own opinion. Based on the ethical tradition of communication value, Alice should stay honest, allowing the respondent to make their own rational decision,
