The Case With The Ethical Behavior

I am going to use the Purtilo & Doherty ethical approach to deal with the given case scenario. The steps are as follows:

1. What are some ways that you can “promote an ethical culture” where you work?

People have different values in life. There are those who value respect, leadership, nurturing while there are those who value intimidating other people. However, I value acting ethically towards people, animals and the environment at large by observing the six pillars of character including trustworthy, respect, responsibility, fairness, caring and citizenship. This is my core value. Through acting ethically we are able to treat others well and even animals. It also enables us to conserve the environment for us and for the generation to come. Acting ethically is not just a liberating experience but also empowering. It is also important to act ethically because it allows us as leaders and other

29 years old Brittany Maynard, she’s been married for just over a year and has terminal brain cancer. In April 2014, she had six months or less left to live. She made a decision to move from California to Oregon to access that state’s Death with Dignity Act. The law authorized her to a take life-ending medication, so she can pass away gently and peacefully at home with family. Also she said she is not suicidal, she doesn’t want to die. But there’s no treatments that save her life. And she wants to die on her own terms. She posted her video on “Youtube” that she’s planning to end her life on November 1, 2014. She had life ending medication that prescribed by her doctor on November 1 surrounded by her family. Her story has gone viral. Millions have been inspired by her strength and bravery. Also there are many arguments for death with dignity and against it. There are many concerning about moral and ethical issue. Is it “Right to die” or “Right to live”? What about Medical World’s opinion? Keep the Hippocratic Oath or Respect Patient’s Dignity? Religious aspect is also important, is your belief can get over the life-end suffering?

Ethics is an area of study that deals with the ideas about what are morally good and bad behaviors (Finkelman & Kenner, 2016). A study of ethical behavior and decision-making about ethical issues in nursing is one of the most important aspects. Nurses are confronted almost daily with ethical challenges in making decisions when there is no right or wrong answer in the provision of patient’s quality care (Ulrich, et al., 2010, p 2510). When it comes to decision-making in healthcare, understandable conflict occurs between health care providers, clients and people in the community about the right thing to do when ethics, values, and decisions about health care collide. Examples include diverse topics such as the ratio of staff, and end of life care. This essay will include a multiple gun shot wound paraplegic patient (Mr. B) refusing treatments including antibiotics and wants to leave Against Medical Advice (AMA) due to frustration from being in hospital for long time. This was the case that happened while I was in one of my clinical sites as nursing students. In addition, this paper will also represent the understanding of ethical principles that apply in case of someone’s refusing treatment.

Ethical behavior is significant to the development of persuasion, and important to the behavior of humans.It also influences persuasion by developing the progression of persuasion, and increasing those who are accountable for it. A person’s ethical behavior originates with morals and changes into what way an individual is required to connect to encourage effectively and dependably and finishes with who obligation it is to take responsibility in a persuasive interchange. The significance of our ethical behavior is realized within all our origins as human beings and stands as the groundwork of our different societies. We are directed by our ethical customs in the cultures which we create and live. “ The persuader’s determined actions means more under deontological ethics than under teleological ethics”( Magee,2014). According to David B. Resnik, J.D.,( 2011), ethics is defined as standards for behavior that differentiate between tolerable and intolerable conduct. Ethical morals of behavior that specify how an individual should conduct them self centered on ethical responsibilities and qualities.

Before answering the question, it would be vital to distinguish the difference between legal ethics and general ethical behaviour. Legal ethics can be defined as special responsibilities that lawyers recognised in which they should adapt to “higher” ethical standards than laypersons whereas general ethical behaviour can de described as rules of conduct that demonstrates how our society are expected to behave and act as guiding principles behind creation of laws. The question of whether a behaviour can be both ‘legal’ and ‘ethical’ at the same time, can be a confusing question to both lawyers and law students. Something may be ethical but not legally required by the law while an act could be unlawful even though it may seemed to be ethical.

Over these past eight weeks, it has become a pleasure to read what you have to say each week. I hope that you will take away a lot of useful information from this course as I have. I admire your ability to complete so much work at once. The most I had ever managed to work ahead was by one week! I have noticed from many of your forum posts that you and I share very similar beliefs on life, however, I enjoy playing devil’s advocate so I hope that you and I learned from each other in our discussions. What was your number one takeaway from the course? I agree with you that there were aspects of the ethical lens inventory for each person that they would not agree with. While I did agree with most of mine, I personally had my own disagreements

The type of values and reasoning to which our client, Lance, is appealing with his stance of ‘I never settle for second place’ is a good example of virtue ethics.

There are a variety of different ethical systems that have developed of the course of millennia. However, even though the subject has been covered so thoroughly, it is still heavily debated. The varieties of ethical systems that are in existence look at various ethical problems from different perspectives and can be applied differently in different circumstances. Because of the subjective aspects to applying ethics, they can be as much an art as they are a science. Ethics are something that must be practiced and really cannot be perfected. In this way, studying ethics is a continual process that does not really stop. This paper will argue that ethics are the most important subject that an individual can pursue.

This would allow you to rationalize and analyze better in regards to your situation instead of hastily making an ethical decision.

“Brad is a production engineer at a bicycle company and part of his job includes inspecting broken bikes and drafting the design repairs for their repair” (Bartlett). Brad is considering replacing a broken brake cable with a more durable material, even though the customer did not request it in their order and specifically requested that “No aesthetic changes be made to the bike” (Bartlett). Brad’s manager suggests that his considered actions would go against the company’s policy of “The customer is always right.” Should Brad disobey the manager and the customer to possibly lose his job or go along with

Ethical behavior is often seen as amoral when used for persuasive purposes. This is possible because persuasion may be used in unethical situations as well as ethical situations. Either way, it depends upon the person who is trying to persuade others. Adolf Hitler is an excellent example of someone who persuaded millions of people to behave unethically. On the other hand, Mother Teresa used persuasion for ethical reasons by caring for the sick and the orphaned, and because of this has impacted an entire world.

It is the ethics involved in this situation that causes PGD to be a socio-scientific issue. Generally, embryos that are affected with the disease that is being tested for are discarded. There is usually at least one embryo affected with the disease that is being tested for. However embryos that are not implanted can be stored for up to ten years. In some cases there will be more than one ‘healthy’ embryo. As people do not usually choose to implant two, the patient has to make a decision as to what embryo they will choose to implant. The other is likely to be frozen for storage. There is never a 100% guarantee that the embryo will implant, or that the results are 100% accurate. The issues involved are that the embryos may be perceived to be people, or the beginning of an alive baby. Therefore, depending on perception some people will disagree with PGD because they might perceive discarding the embryo’s to be like terminating or killing a baby. (Refer to opinions and perspectives). Furthermore, another potential opinion regarding ethics is the issue of designer babies. Although sex selection in New Zealand is illegal and PGD/PGS is purely for the testing of genetic disorders, some perceive it as the next step towards creating perfect ‘designer’ babies. Designer babies are genetically engineered children. Currently the term is generally used to describe a baby whose genetic make-up has been selected in order to remove a particular defect, or to ensure that a

Taking this course of action required deep thought of my morals in order to resolve this ethical predicament. Before making the decision to advise both instructors of the wrongdoing, I first weighed the consequences of my actions by thinking about who would be hurt and who would be helped by my actions. The substitute instructor might avoid accusations of irresponsibility. Both instructors could take an opportunity to go over
