Strampel's Case Summary

Everything was looking good for Joe Paterno and Penn State football as his football managing career rose with an overall record of 298-136-3 but in 2011, all that changed. Back in 2000 a janitor of Penn State witnessed Sandusky receiving oral sex from a young boy, the janitor reported what he saw to co-workers and his supervisor but none of these men reported these actions to authorities. It wasn’t until November 5, 2011 that Sandusky was arrested on a $100,000 bail and up to 40 criminal counts. ESPN were quickly in the scene to investigate and report the allegations on Sandusky. They quickly reported saying Sandusky was charged with more than 50 counts of child sex-abuse involving 10 boys he met through The Second

With the mounting number of victims, Larry Nassar was arraigned on Feb. 24 with 25 counts of sexual misconduct. Apparently, the doctor used his position as the official physician of the gymnasts with whom he molested under the guise of medical treatment.

Sexual Harassment and Falsifying data are an unethical practice that could happen in an organization. Leaders are required to take action. In the case of the Mysterious Roses and the case of the Cold Feet G BioSport find themselves resolving serious dilemmas. This discuss will address decision-making steps, ethical lenses used to make decisions, and ethical lenses that influence decisions.

The Penn State child sex abuse case involves many legal, ethical, and moral complications. The participants in this case include Jerry Sandusky, former defensive coordinator, Joe Paterno, former head coach, Graham Spanier, former Penn State President, Tim Curley, former athletic director, other witnesses, informants, and victims. Jerry Sandusky was arrested on charges that he abused and molested boys he met through his charity, The Second Mile. Sandusky used his access to Penn State and connection to the misguided youth of his organization to prey on and eventually rape young boys. Sandusky was charged with 52 counts of child molestation and sentenced to 30-60 years in prison. Other parties involved were charged with perjury, failure to

This paper is composed for the individual assignment for week 2 of the MBA 633 Legal Issues in the Workplace course. The topic for this assignment consists of the differences between ethical and legal business issues. This paper will provide answers to questions related to employee behavior away from the office, and the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and bribes. Both topics have been presented in the form of video cases (video 93 and 98) found in the Cengage digital video library.

Immanuel Kant once said “In law a man is guilty when he violates the rights of others. In ethics he is guilty if he only thinks of doing so.” (Kant, n.d.). Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 includes prohibition of sex discrimination which includes sexual harassment and hostile work environment. An example will be used to help define the law that is relevant to sexual harassment and hostile work environments, along with describing the facts of the case. A view on current lessons learned and any new thoughts learned while conducting research will be put forth. Lastly, a look at ethical issues related to the example presented will be discussed.

On December 18, 2014 a journalist Lindsey Bever from Washington Post wrote the article “It took 10 minutes to convict 14-year-old George Stinney Jr. It took 70 years after his execution to exonerate him”. George Stinney was an African American boy who was convicted of murder in his hometown of Alcolu, South Carolina when he was 14 years old and sentenced to death by the electric chair on June 16,1944. Stinney was accused of killing two young white girls that were 11-year-old Betty June Binnicker and 8-year-old Mary Emma Thames. The image of the boy sat on the electric chair, and the chair’s strap were passed through the 95-pound boy. This chair didn’t fit for him, so they used books to be placed on his seat. His eyes seem to be different from

The hearing panel met three or four time during the period of April 19, 2010 and May 3, 2010. Brown did not appear before the panel during this time. On May 3, the hearing panel issued their dismissal of the academic misconduct claim again Brown because it did not violate a specific university rule. However, the panel noted that Brown’s application and letter of certification made clear that he could potentially be expelled for any withholding or false information. By signing the application, Brown acknowledged the law school’s right to dismiss him for false information on his application. Thus, the decision was left to Dean Gail Agrawal, who consulted with the University’s Office of General Counsel. She sent Brown a letter on May 26, 2010, notifying him of the intent to dismiss him effective June 8, 2010 for “falsification, misrepresentation, and failure to supply complete, accurate, and

The area of determent in this case came in the form of betrayal. This is the emotions Mrs. Bestor’s must’ve felt when she heard the broadcast that depicted her as an “dictatorial administrators” and the criticism of her lack of leadership by Mr. Flemming’s. To an outsider looking in, it sounds like Mrs. Bestor has no control over her school or staff. Leading up to the radio incident, Mrs.Bestor’s goals were not to censor Mr. Flemming, instead she wanted him to express himself in a manner that's professional and collaborative in order to solve any issues at hand. His professional conduct was in fact what limited his freedom of speech at Westfield High School. If Mr. Flemming’s conducted himself in a different manner, more of his colleagues and

Ethics is the branch of philosophy concerned with the study of questions of right and wrong and one how one ought to live; with right and wrong being qualities or moral judgements assigned to actions and conduct (Banks, 2012). Since ethics deals with behavior, which can be regulated, it is concerned with standards of conduct. Every profession has a code of ethics to safeguard the reputation of the profession, protect the public from exploitation, and further competent and responsible practice (Melissa, 2005). The field of victim advocacy is no different.

On the Fourth of July in 2012, a man by the name of Frederick Southwick, began to experience sudden pain in his left calf during a day at the beach. Just two months later, he required an above-the-knee amputation. The doctors, at that time, had no explanation for why the blood flow to that leg had been cut off. He had none of the usual risk factors for atherosclerosis, which is a hardening of the arteries. He had never smoked, did not have diabetes, and had low cholesterol. There was no blockage of blood vessels anywhere else in his body.

The Ethics of Care was developed in the second half of the twentieth century by feminists. In this normative theory of ethics attempts to identify actions that are morally right while also identifying actions that are morally wrong. The basis for this theory explains the importance of response. This paper will attempt to identify whether or not the role of Ethics of Care was applied throughout the Undercover Boss episode. In this analysis, we will look at the behaviors and actions of the characters in this episode, especially the characters of Jimbo, Marcee, and Colby.

Organizations are continually faced with ethical dilemmas. Though each dilemma may vary in degree of impact they will have on a company, it is essential that a company establish a wise solution to the problem. As we have gathered from this course, there are a large variety of views and theories on how to address these problems in the most ethical way. In this paper I will discuss the H.B. Fuller case in Honduras: Street children and drug abuse and examine the ethical challenges the company was presented with. I

Ethical dealings require a process to be in place to ensure complaints are dealt with an appropriate/timely manner. In the article “Understanding ICMA’s Ethics Enforcement Process” the author details the process ICMA (International City/County Management Association) has established to deal with an ethical complaint. In this paper, I will summarize this article about ethics. Additionally, I will explain how it correlates to the content of Chapter Two, (Bagley & Savage, 2010).
