The Ethical Responsibility Of Authority

In addition to these standards, rights, and responsibilities, all teachers need to be consciously aware of possible problems dealing with students on an individual basis. In their mission of providing for the safety and welfare of all students, teachers can sometimes find themselves in situations that may be detrimental to themselves and their students. In practice, knowing how to avoid these situations is key. Dr. Troy Hutching’s presentation (Developing an Ethical Framework for Teacher Student Relationships: A Continuum of Responsibility, Nov. 1, 2011 Northern Arizona Univ.) was an eye opener. He provided the following startling facts: Shakeshaft (2004) reported 9.6% of grade 8-11

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

Following the hearings on Whitewater, Monica S. Lewinsky began working as an unpaid intern in the White House chief of staff’s office. In August of 1995, Monica attended a surprise birthday gathering for the President on the South Lawn. While there, the President shook her hand as she wished him a happy birthday. Monica would later describe this encounter to the Office of Independent Council, in the presence of a grand jury, as the beginning of a “flirtation that went on at a distance.” (Gormley 235).

This assignment will give you the opportunity to choose a case study, and then write about the ethical implications and the impact of the events that are described. Each case study includes a set of questions that you should answer. You can choose either Case Study 9.1: Unprofessional Conduct, or Case Study 8.4: Have Gun Will Travel.

In the words of the 36th President, Lyndon Johnson, “A President’s hardest task is not to do what is right, but to know what is right.” In the case of Bill Clinton’s relationship with Monica Lewinsky, he did not know what was right and in turn, did not do what was right. Monica Lewinsky and Bill Clinton carried on a behind the scenes sexual relationship that lasted two years during Clinton’s time in the white house, this relationship led to a federal investigation into the Clinton Presidency and later led to Bill being impeached. After his impeachment trial, Clinton was wrongly acquitted. Even though Bill Clinton was a good President, he should have been convicted for lying about his relationship

Tom Tramlin should strategically plan but in his planning maintain fairness. Fairness will allow everyone involved their share of the rewards (Clawson, 2012). Joe Smith should reframe from making a judgment call, but instead concentrate of making Mr. Bateman comfortable enough in his ability

In January of 1998, Monica Lewinsky filed a sworn affidavit denying sexual relations between the president and her. She also allegedly asked Linda Tripp to lie for her. Tripp wore a wire and recorded conversations between the two. Clinton then denied that the two had a relationship repeatedly and several of his aides were questioned in court as well as several of his personal bodyguards. Next, Lewinsky was given immunity in exchange for the completely true testimony. Soon afterward Clinton admitted to having an inappropriate relationship with Lewinsky and the Starr report was released. Clinton

1.     I would let a day pass and then request another meeting with Dinah indicating a sincere desire to work through the matter and the need to come to an understanding and agreement of how to work together and with the team moving forward. At that meeting, I would start off and thank Dinah for bringing the Partco matter to my attention. I would communicate with Dinah that I respect her strong feelings and beliefs behind her actions regarding the Partco matter but indicate that if she felt that strongly about the action step I planned to take, that she should have spoken again with me or another manager within our company instead of contacting the customer direct. She should know that by going directly to the

Bill Cosby has recently been in the line of fire over the alleged sexual assault charges. Hearing that a “respectable" man who I grew up watching could fall into such scandal left me wondering how something like this could be kept a secret for so long, and how and why exactly it was quickly pushed under the rug. It certainly hasn’t been talked about as much as Miley Cyrus, who seems to maintain a special spot in the media for her outward sexual behavior. While I may admit that I don’t agree with all her morals, at least - from what I know- she hasn’t forced herself sexually onto another human being. She is simply expressing herself through such behavior which we all have the right to do; therefore I cannot criticize. Bill

I chose option B, because, I can most relate to it. One of the students I work with is in kindergarten and at the beginning of the year used foul language all the time. What I did to help her was set up a marble reinforcement system. She gets marbles for good behavior, and can cash in marbles at the end of the day for a prize, but if she used foul language she would get three marbles taken away for every bad word she said. I also sat down with her and explained why it is not appropriate to use foul language and showed her other words that were appropriate for her to explain her feelings. When it comes to Billy’s mom, I would do the same as I did with the student that I work with mom. Her teacher and I set up a meeting and talk to her about

Ethical theory will be outlined in relation to the example case with discussion on how the case poses an ethical dilemma in the workplace. Additionally ethical theory will be considered in light of the case with

It would have been advisable for Cliff to familiarize Sonja with her role in the company as an assistant property manager and also familiarize her with the other employees she would be working with. As a new employ, it would not be uncommon to see Sonja attempting to make her mark on the company, as seen in many different working environments. As her supervisor, Cliff should have briefed Cindy about the company, the tasks she is expected to take care of and how each of these tasks are to be handled, the employees she would be working with and their background. Proper training and a good understanding of her role and the company would allow for smooth functioning without any kind of disturbance. Even if an event was taking place, as supervisor, Cliff is expected to intervene, instead of being a silent witness.

“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

In this situation, the ethical problems would be Ethical Dilemma and Locus of Authority. I believe there are three ethical principles that are being violated in this situation and they are, nonmaleficence, Justice, and Veracity. Nonmaleficence is being violated because the COTA is exploiting the client financially, the COTA wanted to call their uncle about the renovation job because then the COTA and the uncle would both benefit financially from the renovations. This would not be fair to the client when she has a limited amount of income each month. This leads into the next principle being violated which is Justice. The COTA is not treating the client fairly and is exploiting her. The COTA just assumed that her uncle would be the best person

A teacher must deal with disruptive classroom behavior throughout their career. To do so, they must not only develop their skills in handling these situations but also develop ethical standards for their classroom. These standards set forth by the teacher will help them deal with their students, those students’ parents, the school administrators and their community. There are numerous articles written that could help a teacher when researching any legal or ethical issues that may arise during their teaching career. This paper summarizes four
