Then, if I were ask to add two items to the Statement of Ethical Principles, it would be integrity and loyalty. Those two values can keep someone on the right track in terms of behavior. In my opinion, integrity is an ability to do the right things, but it cannot guarantee that it will be forever. That is why we need loyalty. Loyalty means continuously doing the thing they used to do. So, if someone has integrity and loyalty, it is a complete package.
Personal Ethics Statement: I will prove to be a good student and set an example for others by living honest and showing respect for myself by following my schools code of ethics and conduct.

My personal ethical lens is the Rights and Responsibility lens. I balance my reasoning skills and instinct to determine how to satisfy my duties while achieving the greatest good for everyone (autonomy). The Right and Responsibility lens was the most favorable out of the four that were listed. I value autonomy (such as freedom and independence) over equality (such as fairness and justice). An ethical person, can make certain responsible choices that will benefit other individuals at the same time. One of my primary concerns is to protect individual rights, but guarantee everyone in the community justice. Each person has a right to do whatever please outside of work and to control information about their private lives. I agree with most of my
As a social work undergraduate, we have several queries regarding why it is so important to follow the NASW code of Ethics and values that relate to human diversity, with regard for the worth and dignity of all persons, as applied to a specific case where we are delivering social work. It is very essential to recognize the five core values of social work, service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, and integrity and competence on our occupation of social work. Today, we have chosen two areas and situations of how we are going to deal with our biases and our challenges while working as social workers, by employing the NASW code of Ethics and values that relate to human diversity, with regard for the worth and dignity of all persons.
It’s my absolute pleasure to nominate Blerim Cukovic to receive the College of Staten Island Dolphin Award, 2017.
When using the Utilitarian principle of a primary ethical principle, there are several things to consider. First, the utilitarian principle focuses on the whole group or focuses on what will benefit the majority of groups. The theory of utilitarian suggests that happiness and well-being are what everyone is trying to achieve. Another idea of utilitarian belief is that everyone should try to achieve and strive for greatness (Tännsjö, 2013).
Henrietta Lacks was born on August 1, 1920, in Roanoke, Virginia and she died due to complications of cervical cancer on October 4, 1951.She had been receiving treatment at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland. At the hospital she was treated with radium tube inserts, which is said to be the standard treatment for cervical cancer in 1951. As a matter of routine, samples of her cervix were removed without permission. Henrietta was 31 years old when she died. In this time it was customary for doctors and researchers to remove cells from a person for testing. Likewise cells were taken from Henrietta. The problem was that the cells were
In making ethical principles, decision and applying them in this case study scenarios; there are approaches to ethical analysis in addition to ethical systems and principles that will need to be considered especially where power and authority become the main issue and principle. John Rawls (1957) presented an abstract procedure for deciding moral issues. He stated that “moral principles can be developed through inductive logic which is through moral judgments such as common sense, open mind, personal emotions and sympathetic knowledge of humans”. Looking at police abuse of power, (Pollock 2012) described “this as the actions where an officer physically injured or offends a citizen’s sense of dignity. (p.225). When a police officer become corrupt, the citizen’s dignity becomes shattered. Marsh (2006) also stated that power in capitalist societies is not just about formal and institutionalized control and includes the ability to influence the way people think through controlling knowledge and ideas”. (p.121)
Integrity can be defined as "an uncompromising adherence to a code of moral, artistic or other values, utter sincerity, honesty and candor, avoidance of deception, expediency, artificiality or shallowness of any kind" (Webster's 3rd New International Dictionary 1174). In simpler words this means to maintain high standards and follow the rules, even when no one is watching. Integrity is very important in our everyday life if we wish to be good people. The sad thing is that if you ask some people what integrity means to them they will probably tell you that it doesn't mean much and some may not even know what integrity is. Certain people feel that in order to get ahead in life they need to break certain rules. It is
D) Relevant ethical codes that can be applied to the articles (please be sure which code of ethics you are citing) and how you would apply such code(s).
The preamble and general principles purpose is the introduction of the guidelines of the code of ethics. The values and the main ideals of the discipline (Fisher, 2013). The standard for what is allowed and what is considered unacceptable.
Amanda, I think that treating others the way you want to be treated is a great standard to live by. It is very important to be respectful to others. Others may not realize it, but the attitude they have and give off affects the people they are around.
Paramedics, like all healthcare professionals, once they have made contact with the patient have a clear duty of care outlined in law to provide treatment to patients who require it (Clarke, Harris and Cowland 2012). However, the above case study outlines a patient who is refusing treatment after consuming large amounts of alcohol and an overdose of medication. Therefore, it is the aim of this assignment to assert how an attending paramedic can ensure the best possible outcome and treatment for the patient whilst adhering to the applicable legal and ethical frameworks imposed. In order to achieve this the assignment will commence by critically analysing how an ethical framework and ethical principles can and should be applied to both the above scenario and more generally in paramedic practice. From this understanding of the underlying principles the assignment will next examine both the legal and ethical standpoints surrounding capacity and consent and analyse how these should be applied to the scenario. This will then enable an inclusion of the relevant legislation and an analysis of how patient 's mental health needs should be considered whilst under the influence of alcohol. The assignment will conclude with an examination of the overarching legal obligation to provide a duty of care and the implications of breaching this duty by bringing in examples of Health Care and Professions Council (HCPC) hearings.
My personal ethics statement of conduct stems from my relationship with Jesus Christ. I don’t believe I could make correct, moral and, ethical decisions at all if I wasn’t leaning on the bible for direction, strength and guidance. I believe that any good that anyone may see in me comes from what I have learned from the bible.
The formal definition of ethics is as follows, moral principles that govern a person’s behaviour or the conducting of an activity or alternatively the branch of knowledge that deals with moral principles. (Ethics definition: dictionary.com, 2014)
I, Rob Geis, commit myself to the code and values that I am about to describe. As a person I have vast life experiences that have affected who I am and what I believe in. As a Public Relations professional it seems that our industry is often under ridicule for being unethical and known as spin doctors. As an ethical student and person I consider these key values as guiding stones to my applied ethical choices. Family, friends, school and religion have all made me the person I am today and influence my ethical choices.
