The Ethical Dilemma Of Brad

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.

Ethically the company will not have shipped out a known defective product but consumer moral will be lowered due to not receiving everything that they have paid for. The company operated morally but did not give the consumer what they asked for.

In the movie, “On The WaterFront”, I would apply the theory of virtue ethics to the problem that Terry faced in corrupt union. According to virtue ethics, “we know what is morally correct because it is what the virtuous person or one who has good characters would do” (module 7). Virtue ethics is different than the theory of utilitarianism and deontologism. The action isn’t judged by its outcome or rule but by a person who acts. Virtue ethics looks deeply into a person’s soul. It looks for a person’s good characteristics. It claims that no matter what you do as long as your are a virtuous person, your action is morally correct. For instance, a honest person is put into a situation where he has to choose either to tell his Mom about his Dad’s affair or not to. He loves both of his parents. He knows his Mom would leave the house if she knew the truth. He nevers wants them to be separated. His Dad will be in big trouble if his secret gets revealed. But, it wouldn’t be fair for Mom staying home and cooking for the family while Dad is happy with another woman. Also, he never hides things from his parents before. Therefore, he decides to tell his Mom the truth despite of the fear of separation and Dad being mad at him. We are not born with innate good character traits. We develop good potential from time to time as we grow. In order to develop virtues, we have to keep practicing them until they become a habit.

I believe she should have either tried to get her manager to take action on her request or go to another manager in the company.

The development of humans ethical abilities called virtue through training; often exposes the ethical behavior from being around families and communities. We learn how to be generous, courageous, honest, cheerful, and cooperative through virtues. These virtues come from everyday living conditions as well as from different social settings. We also learn from ethics that the learning habits we have embraced can help us excel in everyday life. “However, PharmaCARE’s virtue ethics with the Colberians were wrong because even though the executive managers own the native land, they should have treated the people with some dignity and respect,” (Halbert & Ingulli, 2012).

Virtue Ethics: Virtue Ethics suggests that one makes a decision using moral code and virtues that identify one’s character rather than the application of one’s culture or external laws.

Chapter four of our textbook reveals the importance of ethics and goes into detail about what ethics is. The textbook directly states that “We define ethics as society’s accepted standard of moral behavior, that is, behavior accepted by society as right rather than wrong.” The article states that although ford made defective vehicles that there were no reported injuries because of them. However, because of ethics ford is recalling the vehicles before anyone gets hurt. This proves that Ford has good

Virtue ethics is concerned with the traits of character that make one a good person. Virtue ethics seems to be more personal because it is not about choosing which side of an issue one would prefer to take part in, but the kind of person one wants to be. A virtuous person is considered to be a morally good person, and virtues are good traits. For virtue ethics, the moral life is about developing good character.

Virtue ethics are focused on a person showing values such as dependability and honesty. Brad would be dependable by ensuring the customer’s safety and honest by correcting what had to be done instead of ignoring what was right. However, he would not be showing loyalty by going against the customer’s wishes, but that could be corrected if Brad informs the customer. Virtue ethics are “Concerned about the inner person and an individual’s intent”; it was Brad’s intent to protect the customer from potential injuries (Newberry). Brad was more in the right in terms of virtue ethics.

Instead of focusing only on an behavior itself and ask if the behavior is right or is the best thing people should do, virtue ethics focus on asking “is this behavior right” or “will a good person do at this moment”, and it bring people’s attention away from the result or the behavior itself, which it will take people to ask if a good person will do this particular behavior. In the movie, in the first part, Tony wastes his fortune on luxury and gambling, he wastes his genius on making

The conflict between Jim and his supervisor is that Jim wants to help the customer and make them aware of the flaws of the stereos before they purchase them. But his supervisor does not allow Jim to inform the customers of his knowledge since they can find this information in the consumer report. The conflict is over moral principles due to the fact that Jim feels morally obligated to inform customers of his knowledge, he feels guilty when he does not. Jim needs to understand when paternalism ends and consumer autonomy begins. Paternalism ends when Jim is helping the customer find what they’re looking for and what fits the customer’s needs. Consumer autonomy takes care of the smaller details in which the customer themselves needs to be aware

Virtue ethics is a theory that focuses on character development and what virtues one should obtain to be who they are supposed to be, as oppose to actions. An example of virtue ethics would be someone who is patient, kind, loving, generous, temperance, courage and flourishing as oppose to a person who lies, cheats, and

As an employee of the engineering department I would follow policy and not look for an easier way out, this employee who made this decision possibly faced an ethical dilemma. As stated in Kubasek el al (2016) “an ethical dilemma is a problem about what a firm should do for which no clear right decision is available. According to the text, it is the responsibility of both the business and the lawyer to make sure the ethical guidelines are met. When Volkswagen made the decision to release the vehicles with faulty parts, that decision also affected

We will be discussing an everyday ethical dilemma in the graphic design shop. This dilemma is using resources such as a stock photo or font that require purchase but the designer has a way to “cheat” and get the resource free without purchasing the license for commercial user. We will be using the eight steps of ethical decision making. Once the steps have been applied, we will compare our original decision to the decision reached by using the eight steps of the ethical decision process.
