Communication Ethics "... are standards by which behaviors are evaluated for their morality: their rightness or wrongness. When applied to human communication, ethics are the moral principles that guide our judgment about the good and bad, right and wrong, of communication... (p. 111)." (Hamilton page 20). That being said I think that the TI Ethics Test is the best model for making ethical decisions, because the type of questions we must ask ourselves before performing. I think our problem now and days is that, we don't think before we act or perform. If we were to ask ourselves these questions before rather than after, we would have better results in the world today. For example, I work for Tinker Air Force Base, and ethics plays an important
The case of Jenna pertains ethical and legal concerns. I would be evaluating the case using the Forester-Miller & Davis (1996) model, A Practitioner's Guide to Ethical Decision Making. This model has seven steps to help practitioners in the ethical decision-making process, including, identify the problem, apply the ACA Code of Ethics, determine the nature and dimensions of the dilemma, generate potential courses of action, consider the potential consequences of all options and determine a course of action, evaluate the selected course of action, and implement the course of action. The Ethical Decision-Making Model Step 1.
The key takeaways from this article range from decision making models to ensuring that employers make an ethical decision. An ethical decision model is a great tool to use when faced with a tough decision to make (Inggs & Christensen, 2015). In order to ensure that a manager has made an ethical decision, he or she should consider everyone else around him or her that their decision could obtain an effect on. As a manager, it is important to utilize every tool necessary to make a decision. It is more important to stray away from the garbage can model which displays that decision making is sloppy and desultory (Kreitner & Kinicki, 2013). Also, it is important to know which biases are showing up in the decision-making process.
Management constitute amongst major components of a company, organization or a business. As such, management oversees employees interactions with their supervisors and also control of people within a particular organization. Also, it includes critical and ethical decision-making process so as to address various ethical dilemmas experienced by employees while undertaking their respective assigned duties within the company. Ethical dilemmas are hereby to stay as issues usually arise now and then and place a variety of options that bear different repercussions. Therefore, it calls for ethical and critical decision-making skills so as to make the most appropriate option that bears more benefits in comparison to other options presented. While making ethical decisions, it 's substantially important to play heed to a certain ethical decision-making theory. This would enable an individual making the decision to ripe best possible consequences rather than living to regret. Moreover, ethical decision making is typically important in business as making a wrong decision may result not only in huge losses but also poor relationship amongst colleagues and miserable life for employee(s) working in a particular company or business in question.
In order to successfully determine a resolution to the ethical dilemma presented, I will apply the Corey, Corey, Corey, and Callanan (2015, as cited in Sheperis, Henning, & Kocet, 2015) model. This model is categorized as a practice-based ethical decision-making model, providing concrete steps for me to follow. I find this model the most useful because it requires the counselor to consider many different aspects of a decision, including ethics, laws, morals, values, obtaining consultation, and generating multiple solutions. A helpful assertion of the theory is the acknowledgment that not all solutions are perfect and that counselors will need to recycle through stages, or look at them in a different order, to devise the best solution for both

Decision making model is a process in which individuals or organizations choses the best alternative to achieve their objectives. The DECIDE model is the acronym of 6 particular activities needed in the decision-making process: (1) D = define the problem, (2) E = establish the criteria, (3) C = consider all the alternatives, (4) I = identify the best alternative, (5) D = develop and implement a plan of action, and (6) E = evaluate and monitor the solution and feedback when necessary. The DECIDE model is intended as a resource for health care managers when applying the crucial components of decision making, and it enables managers to improve their decision-making skills, which leads to more effective decisions.(Nursing Center n.d.).
The first step of the Ethical Decision-Making Procedure is stated as, “1.0 Become Aware of Dilemma” (McNamara). According to the given case scenario, the dilemma is clearly stated. It reads that the client (mother) does not believe in rewards or support the use of them for her son. The mother is going against what the BCBA believes in and stands for, thus causing a direct dilemma. Removing reinforcers is not feasible for the professional BCBA, and this must be properly addressed with the client. Situations like these are where the Ethical Compliance Code comes into place for the sake of the clients and professionals involved.
As a Registered Cardiovascular Technologist, with nearly 25 years of performing cardiac ultrasounds in South Florida, my company provides a service to communities and local secondary schools by helping to identify a potentially fatal cardiac disease amongst young athletes who participate in competitive sports. Research studies prove that sudden deaths in young athletes have been linked to Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HOCM), a congenital cardiac disease. My mission is to help prevent these needless deaths amongst this vulnerable population at the secondary level. As a parent, I feel a moral obligation to families and guardians to make them aware of this silent killer disease. By building trust, awareness, and making informed decisions, we can
According to Hartman (2014), people can make ethical decisions by an ethical decision making process. The ethical decision making process consists of seven steps that guide people make an ethical decision. First, people need to know and understand the facts of the situation to eliminate the assumption and opinion because the facts could help people to resolve ethical issues from the gecko and forges the path to make a sound decision. Also, the facts could explain many ethical conflicts between people, which would enable people to resolve their perceptual difference with the facts (pg. 47 ~ 48).
There are many types of ethical decision makers, and I believe that I am a benevolent decision maker. A benevolent thinks about the effects of their decision, whether it would be positive or negative, and tries to create a better decision for the group.
The total contract is about $200,000,000. Your firm gets $20,000,000 for overall project management and coordination. A British design firm gets $50,000,000 for design and inspection. Australian contractor is doing the construction for $110,000,000. A local consultant to your firm gets $20,000,000 for something and nobody asks what that is. This consultant seems to have only one employee.
What are the relevant facts of the case? What facts are not known? Can I learn more about the situation? Do I know enough to make a decision?
Nurses often encountered various ethical dilemmas in the practice setting. Both virtue ethics and caring ethics support good ethical decision making for nurses (Park, 2012, p. 149) but these are inadequate to assist in solving an ethical dilemma (Park, 2012, p. 149). For that reason an ethical decision making tool is helpful for the nurses or clinicians to come up with an ethical decision (Kelly, 2012, p. 571) that allows them to gather information, identify any gap of understanding on the issue or the disagreements between the involved parties through a clear communication (Park, 2012, p. 140). Several authors presented an ethical decision making processes (Park, 2012, p. 141), here presented the two processes that can be applied in resolving an ethical dilemma. One example of ethical decision making process is the DECIDE model by Thompson, Melia & Boyd (Allen, Chapman, Francis, & O’Connor, 2008, p. 5) and the Integrated ethical decision-making model which was derived from the combination of the different ethical decision-making models strengths (Park, 2012, p. 140). These two ethical decision-making model steps are identical to each but differ on the detailed instruction on how the steps are to be done or used in actual case. By comparing the two models the integrated ethical decision-making model have a detailed instruction. The
Ethical theories in philosophy are used as decision making tools (Trevino p38), many theories with different frameworks with argument with and against.
While sitting in my counselors office, I wasn’t exactly excited about a reading class. I figured, it’d be a boring class, just spending your time reading and then annotating a nightmare of pages. I didn’t want either literature class that was offered to me but I choose Pop Lit because I knew a friend of mine was taking it. When I first stepped into the room, I felt a lot calmer after a hectic first day of school. Not only that, but the class wa relatively calm when I came in. Mrs. Ghelfi welcomed us to the class and passed out our plan for the class and what she expected us to do during our semester here.
