In his writing, A Practical Companion to Ethics, Anthony Weston explains people are more judgmental and it causes a lot more problems than solutions. Anthony Weston feels Ethics requires us to be mindful thinkers, because it helps fight unjust prejudgment. I personally feel this could help fix court systems, federal, and state wide corruption. Most importantly being a mindful thinker could help businesses. There are so many reasons that could fall under Anthony’s theory. Getting to know the author and his work. I feel his mindful thinking is to reach out to others and interact with more people in an expressive way. Weston believes this will help our community progress in a positive manner towards others. I think he feels ethics requires us
Psychologist study both animals and human behavior, and the” research purpose is to help understand people and to improve the quality of human lives.” (Psy.101). Yet, animals experiments used in earlier research like the Harlow’s Monkey Experiments,” stopped in 1985 due to the APA’s rules against the mistreatment of animals.”(Psy.101). However, the Department of Health and Human Services provided the guidelines along with other scientific organizations and the APA, and the Federal Government for ethical standards in research.
Animal experimentation has been a big controversial topic for several years, breakthroughs in medicine have happened because of animal experimentation. Animal experimentation is unethical. Also animals are being used in biomedical experiments, the business is highly unethical in all of the rules it breaks, and morals codes (Peggs, 2015). Additionally a study conducted by Beauchamp and colleges (2015) shows the inefficiency of animal experimentations in helping humans through misleading findings, it provides false data in the makings of some vaccines and treatments. Alternatives to animal models are being tested; they show that with the advancement in alternative models, the need for animals decreases (Doke, 2015).
Trapped in a post-apocalyptic world besieged by nothingness and stripped of morals, a man and his son have hopes of finding a better life. Traveling a treacherous road leading south, they encounter cannibals, burnt bodies, and the ruins of former cities. Society does no longer exist and the majority of the remaining population has succumbed to desperate measures resulting in amoral actions. Morality is the standard of right and wrong which influence a person’s conduct. Morality is usually based on religion, but in some cases is also instinctive (“Morality”). For example, someone without religion could clearly understand that it is not moral to murder someone. Although, if you were living in a world where this action was commonly practiced, it would eventually become normal. This idea is referred to as moral relativism. Moral relativism is the view that ethical standards, morality, and positions of right or wrong are culturally based and therefore subject to a person’s individual choice (“Moral Relativism”). In Cormac McCarthy’s pulitzer prize winning novel, The Road, due to hopeless and despairing measures, common ethics and the practice of western culture cease to exist. As a result, the remaining majority trivializes the use of morals due to desperation and in an attempt to survive. However, the man and his son still choose to hold on tightly to common ideas of morals and goodness and practice these ideas daily. These attributes that
There are no definite boundaries, standards or definition to determine whether an action is considered moral. The same action under different circumstance or environment may result in different beliefs whether it’s moral or immoral. Something that's moral doesn't necessarily means it's ethical either. What makes a moral action moral is that the person performing the action did it with good intention and foresees a positive outcome. Even though, the action may have been unethical or puts another person at risk. Referring to Julie’s post about stealing medicine to save a life which could result in taking away someone else's life. In an ideal world, a life is a life, no one’s life is more precious or valuable than someone else’s life. But we are
Humans has been discussing and thinking of the complex theories of ethics and how they relate to mankind for centuries. The history of human ethical philosophy is far greater and more complex than this paper can ever truly attempt to define or explain. Great philosophers like Aristotle, Machiavelli, Kant and Mills have already taken on the aforementioned task. This paper is not an attempt to replicate their work or explain their work, instead this paper will look to take the theories they have presented along with the writings presented throughout the entirety of this course and discuss the risks associated with the creation and implementation of organizational codes of ethics without factoring in the needs of humanity, then create a personal code of ethics.
While conducting a therapy session in which the entire family is present, I then realize that the father is my parent’s lawyer. This now crosses the boundaries of multiple relationships. It is said that as a therapist, when this happens I am supposed to take action and follow the necessary steps to avoid confrontation or legal actions. This issue affects code 1.3 and is somewhat difficult to deal with depending on the situation. Since I know that the father was my parent’s lawyer, I must take action even if he does not recognize who I am. To protect the relationship that I have with my client, I must review the AAMFT Code of Ethics and also ask for advice from my colleague. I don’t think that I should terminate the therapeutic

An ethical code is a set of morals that a person or group determines to assist their own selves when it comes to decision-making. An ethical code is something that is pretty stable and should not vary based on the context of the situation. Some people form ethical codes that they follow on a micro level, such as only buying American made products from the grocery store, or they could be on a grander scale, such as how a CEO would lead a company. Most successful marketers have a similar ethical code that is the framework for their marketing efforts, but the variations and oversight of certain aspects of the marketing effort leads to a company’s inability to influence customers towards buying their product or service. An ethics code similar
Morality, ethical principles, and legal principles are not synonymous with each other. Morality has to do with what is right and wrong, ethical principles has to do with the inherent guiding principles of a person, and legal principles are rules and law that have been set out by an overseeing entity. A health care professional can be compliant to all three, two, only one, or none of above mentioned depending on the case.
One may believe that an absolute rule against killing humans is essential because killing is always evil and inhumane. Others believe that there are great exceptions to killing humans, such as self-defense, that need to be taken into account when making an absolute rule about killing humans. If someone tries to kill your family member or tries to kill you, should you stand there and die because you do not want to violate the absolute rule, even if your reason behind breaking the rule brings about more happiness and outweighs the consequences of breaking the rule? Immanuel Kant believes that good will, what he sees to be the ultimate intrinsic good, along with following the categorical imperative determine whether
People of different professions consult with their respective code of ethics when they feel guidance is necessary. As a counselor, regardless of our specific track, we may find ourselves referring to the American Counseling Association’s (ACA) Code of Ethics (2014). I feel the existence of a code of ethics provides the necessary guidelines and justification when things are ambiguous. It serves the purpose of keeping things under control and within limits by minimizing the amount of harm received by any party. As the counselor, this set of guidelines provides clear limits and boundaries between the counselor and client relationship as well as protection for the client’s privacy and well-being. Although the guidelines are set forth as safeguards, it is not all inclusive, where everything is addressed explicitly. New technology and situations arise as we progress, revisions are necessary to effectively utilize these fundamental guidelines. In addition, the guidelines provide the foundation for practicing competently and professionally across different professions and platforms.
