The Emperor's Club Ethics

People from all walks of life face many ethical dilemmas. These dilemmas have consequences. Our worldview determines how we deal with these dilemmas, and guides us to the right decisions. In this essay, I will examine an ethical issues through my Christian worldview. I will also present other viewpoints, and compare them to mine.

Conversely, the Professor lives the life he wanted. As a child, he had to make a choice, stay in the world of the sea or leave for the world of the book. He made his decision and went to work as a professor at a “great Midwestern University”. He was given the opportunity to choose his own path, and to shape his life into the one that he wants.

Furthermore, the important Tournament of Roman History is almost won due to Sedgewick Bell's cheating. The headmaster at the time trickles under the weight of the powers and tells Hundert to ignore the cheating and move on. There were higher-ups at the school as well as Sedgewick Bell's senator father continually badger Hundert and prevent him from taking any action against Sedgewick Bell. Perhaps Mr. Hundert draws some ironic encouragement from his self regard that he has failed to reshape Sedgewick Bell's personal character. But I believe he also overestimates the influence on his character building coaching might have on students like his. Hundert has a clear sense of his own identity that he cannot always stand up to others.

There will always be controversies in life, whether big or small, whether it affects individuals or groups, or whether it will make any difference to one’s life; this argument affects millions of adolescent lives. Where saying yes obliterates comfort zones and advocates racism, and while saying no promotes a conformist, mass mentality mindset and erases history. “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” is the name to put on the face of this problem. The controversy of this book has been fought over since it’s been published but the inspiration and individualistic philosophy this book teaches is far too great to dispose of. “The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn” should be required reading for students because first, the moral of the book preaches

In the novel, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, the main character, Huck, struggles to develop his own set of beliefs and values despite the very powerful social structure of his environment. The people he encounters and the situations he experiences while traveling down the Mississippi River help him become an independent thinker in the very conformist society of 19th century Missouri.

Huckleberry Finn is a rebellious boy who defies rules whenever he deems it fit. In the satirical novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain, a runaway boy befriends an escaped slave in the deep south. The majority of society frowns upon Huck and his choices and he struggles with his decisions the whole novel to reveal thematic subjects such as friendship, love, and betrayal. Throughout the story Huck can’t decide whether to do the right thing or not, but ultimately his heart wins over the views forced upon him by society.

In multiple studies of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, many critics have closely examined Huck Finn’s struggles to conform to society’s expectation because he becomes conflicted between his true ideals and the ideals society has forced upon him. According to Johnson, "Huck has his own flaws: He rarely tells the truth, he steals, and he is gullible, particularly when it comes to superstition. But when faced with a dire situation, Huck usually does the right thing” (75). Although Huck repeatedly finds himself to be conflicted with Southern ideals at the end of the novel, Huck finally decides to follow his own beliefs. Davis states that, “Through Huck 's innocent descriptions of white misbehavior, Huckleberry Finn implicitly condemns not only individual white characters but also the culture that they represent. Huck rarely fully

This caused Hundert to wonder what the point of trying if boys like Sedgwick would never learn. Following this leads to the meeting to Senator Bell, Sedgwick’s father. Upon this meeting Hundert comes to the realization that he doesn’t have the guts to stand up to Senator Bell. “I’m sorry, young man,” he said slowly, “but you will not mold him. I will mold him. You will merely teach him.”(164). This made Hundert realize the fact that the tyrant has a point, that teaching him will make him learn but wasn’t his job to make him to a man. His morals are also broken by letting Sedgwick win all the Mr. Julius Caesar test just to see him cheating up stage.

Character education is the foundation on which students will be equipped to make wise decisions and smart life choices (Lickona, 2003). Mrs. Flowers contributed significantly to building this foundation for generations of students. In addition to teaching the basics of American history, she was a compassionate caregiver, a moral model, and an ethical mentor to her students. Character education was a priority, and the impact of her teaching was enduring. Mrs. Flowers is, without a doubt, a leader in the area of character

The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is a fictional story that has caused a lot of controversy in American Schools for over 100 years (Fielder). However, the novel has brought to light many important facts such as racism, social class, morals, and society’s rules. The book shows that following the crowd or conforming to society’s rules without examining the effects can be a dangerous thing. People should be encouraged to question things and think for themselves rather than following the

It is important to have the code of ethics because it sets standards for professionals to protect the client, give guidance to professional behavior, and provide professional identity for the helper (Woodside & McClam, 2015). The standards provided by the code of ethics impact the Empire Recovery Center by ensuring the client feels protected and not feel judged by administering professional behavior. Standardized codes are to help guide professionals and it seems to work based on the excellent reviews on their website (Empire Recovery Center, 2018).

When one is presented with a difficult choice, two paths reveal themselves - the selfish path and the philanthropic one. Many times, unknowingly, a single choice shapes an individual and his whole future. An uninformed, impromptu decision can lead to an individual becoming infatuated with self-indulgence, even at the cost of others. Correspondingly, the same choice can lead an individual to living an altruistic lifestyle. In The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, by Mark Twain, Huckleberry Finn, the main character, is an uncivilized, carefree individual whose life is devoted to pulling pranks on others. This easy-going personality, leads him on an adventure. As he tries to escape the grasps of Miss Watson, on his journey, he is challenged

Mr. Hundert is a teacher that follows many virtues: courage, discipline, justice, and honesty. One can definitely see this teaching when he meets Sedgewick Bell, but one may also see his failures. To entice his virtue of courage, for example, he tells Sedgewick to do well in school. One can tell in the movie that Sedgewick might believe that trying in school will make him not popular, or maybe it fears him. Either way, there’s something hindering his performance in school, and of course, Mr. Hundert was able to convince Sedgewick to start doing well in class by giving him a book that helped him get understand the material. Another incident where he’s helping Sedgewick was when he wasn’t able to check out a book in the library. Then, Mr. Hundert enters asking the librarian to give him the book, and it was given. Another virtue

First adopted in 1914, the code of ethics for the American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE) is the model for professional conduct for all ASCE members. The code of ethics is an excellent model as it is broken down into eight canons for further understanding. The purpose of each canon is to serve as a guide and reminder for professional engineers that they are to have the moral and ethical integrity the profession calls for at all times while holding safety paramount. The ASCE code of ethics is very informative and insightful because although each canon does not go into great depth, the canons leave room for interpretation under different situations.

"Our results indicate that the informal methods ("manager sets an example" or "social norms of the organization") are likely to yield greater commitment with respect to both employee attitudes than formal methods ("training courses on the subject of ethics") (Adam, et al, 2004).
