The Ethics Of An Ethical Climate

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

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

In Normative Ethics there are three distinct schools of thought, and each differentiate through moral intentions. Consequentialism relies on the consequences of an action in order to distinguish whether or not something is morally acceptable. Deontology considers the morality of an action by one’s reason for doing a certain deed. Lastly, virtue ethics bases morality off of virtuous character, and how a virtuous person would act given a certain predicament. Ultimately, consequentialism provides the most practical explanation for morality due to the notion of providing the best possible result. Contrarily, deontology and virtue ethics do not always provide an individual with the most sensible course of action, and therefore prove to be

To keep our environment healthy, all these element need to work together. There are no global laws protecting the environment and that is why everyone should practice good ethics when it comes to the environment. Environmental ethics is the part of environment philosophy which considers extending the traditional boundaries of ethics from only including hum and to non-humans. There are many ethical decisions that human beings make with respect to the environment. Humans are been considered of rational agents because they have clear preference, models uncertainty via expected values, and always to perform the action with the optimal expected outcome of itself. The action of the rational agent performs depends on the

Chapter eleven of James Svara “The Ethics Primer” was the conclusion to the book and explained to the reader the duties of a public administrator. The jist of this chapter was to help the reader identify and clarify, for anyone who was still confused, what a public administrator was, and how they should conduct themselves. As we read the first three page we are given a list of eleven duties a Public Administrator must abide by. As you read on Svara bangs it into your head just how important acting in an ethical manner is. He explains how someone is an ethical administrator is one who does their duty. The last paragraph wrapped it all up for us when Svara explains how unless a Public Adminstrator is passionate about serving the community in

Chapter four introduces the interdependent sequence of ethics. Ethics deals with the relation between people, and the relation between the person and society in order to integrate social organization to people. We then begin to question what is incorporated into society. Individuals are a members of an interdependent community described as land ethic.

He has gained a lot of experience throughout his career thus far, and is looking forward to expanding his knowledge in the future. Dr. Lind believes that there are many ethical issues that involved in anthropology and the entire Code of Ethics is of importance. However, he believes it is key for practicing Anthropologist’s to understand not only their own Code of Ethics but any Code of Ethics that may be relevant in their currently work place.

One of the largest decisions that I have had is trying to convince the Co-owner of my dog that the most humane thing would be to let her go peacefully. Claire is a dog that we own due to having been in a relationship together for the better part of a decade. Recently, Claire has been diagnosed with cancer and it unclear how long she will have to live. I believe that the most human thing will be to allow her to live out her last days in peace, at some point in the near future we will have to make the decision to put her down. Andy, the Co-owner, wants to try a high risk surgery and chemo and radiation therapy. Not only is this treatment plan highly risky, it is not predicted to have a high probability of success. The odds against Claire are

Equality of opportunity does not exist in the world as we know it. To believe otherwise, however optimistic, is ignorant and misguided. Social equilibrium is built upon a balance of equality and inequality where harsh ethical standards must be upheld to reach maximum potential. Garrett Hardin’s essay, “Lifeboat Ethics: The Case against Helping the Poor” sets the precedent of these ethical standards to determine the nature of a society which favors the wealthy. Hardin’s definition of ethics is a harsh reality that calls for complete utilitarianism where the moral implications of an action are solely dependent on how the outcome affects the greater good; a concept which can be applied to the Syrians seeking refuge in the United States.

Advance practice nurses (APNs) and nurse share the same responsibility in maintaining an ethical environment ethics. Yet, APNs do bare a greater responsibility in the creation and development of the ethical environment. Ethical environments are created by the APN that foster the “ought to’s” opposed to “the should’s” (DeNisco & Barker, 2016). The advanced practice nurse has an increased understanding of effectively collaboration, communication, and mediation (DeNisco & Barker, 2016). As a nursing leader, he/she is able to foster an ethical environment by supporting ethical principles in the face of adversity.

“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

There are a variety of different ethical systems that have developed of the course of millennia. However, even though the subject has been covered so thoroughly, it is still heavily debated. The varieties of ethical systems that are in existence look at various ethical problems from different perspectives and can be applied differently in different circumstances. Because of the subjective aspects to applying ethics, they can be as much an art as they are a science. Ethics are something that must be practiced and really cannot be perfected. In this way, studying ethics is a continual process that does not really stop. This paper will argue that ethics are the most important subject that an individual can pursue.

Over these past eight weeks, it has become a pleasure to read what you have to say each week. I hope that you will take away a lot of useful information from this course as I have. I admire your ability to complete so much work at once. The most I had ever managed to work ahead was by one week! I have noticed from many of your forum posts that you and I share very similar beliefs on life, however, I enjoy playing devil’s advocate so I hope that you and I learned from each other in our discussions. What was your number one takeaway from the course? I agree with you that there were aspects of the ethical lens inventory for each person that they would not agree with. While I did agree with most of mine, I personally had my own disagreements

Ethics – good or bad is the underlying theme for all decisions in the workplace. It is necessary to look at the broad picture and make sure the ramification of any decision is fully taken into account.
