The Ethical Issue And Unethical Issue

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.

Ethical dilemmas occur when there is a disagreement about a situation and all parties involved question how they should behave based on their individual ethical morals. (Newman & Pollnitz, 2005). The dilemma that I will be addressing in this essay involves Michael, recently employed male educator working in the nursery, and parents of a baby enrolled at the centre. The parents have raised concerns about male educators changing their child’s nappy as they have cultural practices that do not allow this practice to take place. This situation is classed as an ethical dilemma as there is a dispute between cultural beliefs and legal requirements within the workplace. There are four parties involved (parents, child, educator and director), all

If Emanuel accepts the offer he benefits greatly because he will be able to complete his assignments efficiently in his dorm room instead of using the college library but Microsoft will not profit and the roommate will have broken the law and potentially receive a penalty or fine for sharing a licensed product. But if Emanuel denies his roommates offer and

The two major ethical considerations that are important to address are 9.02 - Use of Assessments and 9.06 - Interpreting Assessment Results. 9.02 - Use of Assessments is particularly important because the psychologist must consider the individual’s language preference and competence. As was noted in the initial case description, Brandon’s parents are both Polish immigrants, and Brandon spoke Polish in home until he attended junior kindergarten. Although he may not have an accent, his language preference should be noted as English may not be the language he is more comfortable using. 9.06 - Interpreting Assessment Results should also be considered. Brandon’s test-taking abilities should be highlighted, as he is suspicious and ambivalent towards the psychological testing. These feelings may negatively affect his test scores, as he may try to either hide how he truly feels, or lie to make himself seem better or worse. It should also be noted that there could be other client characteristics that affect his scores as well, particularly cultural factors.

“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

Each year, there are patients who are faced with end of life choices that can sometimes be predicted, but at times, something they would have believed never would happen. When the choice is not their own to make, what is the right decision when the time comes? Do the families help to make the decision when the patient is incapable to do so? And will the person know to make the decision that is based on what is in the patient’s best interest? As there isn’t always a direct note discussing what are the most recent requests at the end of life, the decision can be difficult and can create conflict and debate in determining what is the “right decision”. Doctors, as well as nurses, play a large role in this decision, and should be able to help set

Separate all the tables and chairs in the class so that there are 18 individual tables placed into two columns, 9 per column all facing the screen.

Instructions: In groups, discuss each scenario. Identify the values that come in to play and the different effects on behavior when considering each dilemma.

Thus, citizens in need of government support have very little privacy and are treated inferior compared to those who do not need government funding. In relation to wellness and ability, insurance companies actively watch their clients who are considered high risk, specifically those who suffer from poor health or a disability (Graham & Wood, 2003, p. 244). In doing so, insurance companies determine whether or not individuals are covered under their plan and if they are eligible for premiums (Lippert Lecture). This is unfortunate as those who are ill and living with a disability have to undergo endless watch as they are viewed as an expensive customer (Graham & Wood, 2003, p. 241). Meanwhile, those who are of good health and are mentally and physically able are seldomly watched as they

As a graphic designer, I must work for clients whose beliefs may not line up with my own. I am jobless, in debt and am offered a position at the White House. The job I am offered is to sell the Trump Health Care plan through pamphlets, websites, and social media memes. This position would mean that I would have inside information on the White House plans to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). The Congressional Budget Office reports that 14 million Americans will lose their health insurance in the first year. An additional 10 million people will lose their health insurance over the next 10 years. When I raise this concern with my boss, I am told to “shut up and do my job.” My job is to emphasize the 337-billion-dollar deficit

“Nearly all healthcare clinicians have or will encounter ethical dilemmas during their clinical operations. Consequently most of them get not training on how to solve the situation. The clinical professionals should be trained on how to resolve ethical dilemma cases, since they are vulnerable to this kind of cases. Ethical dilemmas affect the psychological decisions one makes since they dread transgressing on other imperative moral decisions. Cases of ethical dilemmas affect almost every person regardless of their class or status in the society. Ethical dilemmas in clinical organization affect both the executives and their subjects’ indifferent levels. The heads find themselves perplexed by some ethical issues in their operations, the same way their juniors would experience ethical dilemmas in their standards,”(Welch, 2001, p.1). In situations where life and death is involved, prompt decision should be considered whether one party is hurt but it must be in the best interest of the outcome. Always positive outcome is promoted or considered in an ethical dilemmas. There are many ethical dilemmas that happen in our day to day working lives as nurses but how we tackle the situations matters most. Being diligent and neutral as a health care worker is very important because you are not the judge but helping to resolve the situation.

Bhattacharjee, S et al. (2006: 92) evidently reported the situation of illegal file sharing in 2003 and suggested the method to discard the problem that:

Nowadays, nurses who provide elder care are faced with several legal and ethical dilemmas in a daily basis. Besides to the social and legal dilemma it creates, elder abuse, neglect or also known as elder mistreatment is a massive health care crisis that can lead to long term health complications and even death (Fulmer & Greenberg, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to review the literature and examine the nature of elder abuse in relation to its legal and ethical implications. Furthermore, this paper is intended to discuss the causes and types of elder abuse; professional responsibilities related to reporting, documenting, and intervening in cases of

When pursuing a college degree, ethics is tailored to the course being taught, i.e. Accounting, Finance, and Economics to name a few. Ethics does not appear to be offered as a separate required course for all disciplines, which raises such questions as, is there a need for an ethics course? Do students know enough about ethics for ethical thinking and action? Ethics encompasses a set of principles, philosophy, or theory relating to principles. Knowing how to best resolve difficult ethical dilemmas is never easy especially when any choice violates the societal and ethical standards we have been taught to govern our lives. Ethics is important and goes beyond common sense. However, if ethics were black and white, it would be simpler for all human beings. It can be unclear and subject to personal interpretation and unfortunately once an individual has made a decision or has taken a position they tend to reject what undermines their decision or contradicts their position.

Ethics plays a part in almost every aspect of one’s life. Ethics is defined as: “the rules of conduct recognized in respect to a particular class of human actions or a particular group or culture” The school you attend, your favorite restaurant, and your favorite sports team all have a code of ethics to follow. Those organizations as well as many other things including any group, especially a group for counseling, has a code of ethics. They also have ethical issues within each program. In counseling, some ethic issues that could arrive are, informed consent, involuntary membership, and freedom to withdraw from a group. However, the ethical issue that caught my attention in the Corey’s textbook is Involuntary Membership. This particular ethic issue grasped my attention because I haven’t thought about the involuntary groups that could come about. I knew there were certain circumstances where group counseling wasn’t voluntary but, until reading this section, it hadn’t crossed my mine.
