The Ethics Of Ethics And Morality

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

The ACS codes of ethics is a part of the ACS constitution. As an ACS member you must uphold and advance the honor, dignity and effectiveness of being a professional. This involves, in addition of being a good citizen and acting within the law. While Because of their roles in developing software systems, software engineers have significant opportunities to do well or cause harm, to enable others to do well or cause harm, or to influence others to do well or cause harm. To ensure, as much as possible, that their efforts will be used for good, software engineers must commit themselves to making software engineering a beneficial

Certain concepts that appear normally in everyday life sometimes contain an air of uncertainty relating to their true definitions. Typically any attempt at defining these themes results in the use of metaphorical phrasings or synonymic words. Thus no clear and constructive definition can be formed from these types of discussions. This phenomenon appears most often during in depth discussions of time, probability, and ethics. During this paper I will be focusing upon the last of these three topics. By exploring the three fields of ethical philosophy—metaethics, normative ethics, and applied ethics—and establishing how they connect with one another, will enable us to better understand the purpose behind ethical reasoning. It is important to explore this field because situations where the idea of a person’s actions being “good” or “bad” come up nearly constantly when observing society. But despite their common usage, the meaning behind such labels often remain ambiguous. Only through clarifying the true nature of such expressions will we understand their relevance to social interactions.

Since my journey here at Bryant began in September, I have changed so much. Coming here, I expected certain things such as my study habits, daily routine and friend group to be altered. One change I was not anticipating making was my approach to ethics. Over the course of the past fifteen weeks, my knowledge of ethics as well as my approach to ethics has changed. I have become more knowledgeable about the different approaches to ethics and have gained insight as to where I stand in my approach to ethics.

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. In addition, he placed a lot of emphasis of informed consent and not harming your subjects during research studies.

Ethics is one of the most important considerations when making a decision about end of life. It is also where the most controversy lies as arguments, using ethical theories, can be made for and against laws on end of life. “Ethics has at least two primary functions: to guide our actions, and to provide justification for the guidance given” (Schuklenk et al., 2011, p. 42). A duty-oriented ethicist would be against euthanasia and physician assisted death. They believe “we can’t stop all pain; what is crucial is that we act with dignity and respect in the face of suffering” (Edge & Groves, 2006, p.40). “Kant’s view is a person committing suicide takes the easy way out, where reason would dictate he or she face their problems” (Schuklenk et al., 2011, p.38). Virtue ethicists would also be against euthanasia and physician assisted death. Virtue ethicists hold “it is not only important to do the right thing but equally to have the right disposition, motivation, and traits for being good and doing right” (Edge & Groves, 2006, p.43). As a believer in God, a virtue ethicist would hold suicide as an unreasonable option. They would believe God to be the “sole arbiter of life and death” (Schuklenk et al., 2011, p.42) and therefore, the right thing to do would be for God to end their life as he sees fit.

“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

With the “Repo 105” manipulation, assets and liabilities were reduced at the reporting date, and the leverage ratio was decreased as well because the numerator and the denominator of that ratio are reduced by the same amount. As a result, Lehman Brothers declared bankruptcy and former officials of Lehman brothers have agreed to pay $90 million to settle a shareholder lawsuit.

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.

Every day addiction specialists are faced with scenarios that make them question their ethical and moral backdrop; trying to acclimate the right choice can often times be problematic, even for the most advanced specialist. There are permissible ethical guiding principles that are universal or aphorisms that lead ethical perceptive and comportment (NAADAC, 2008). These guiding principle are commonly held as the values that head the behavior of an individual (Falls, 2006).

Ethics is a concept derived from an individual’s religion, philosophies or culture, forming a collection of moral principles carrying out the manner in which a person leads their life. In modern society philosophers divide ethical theories into three separate areas, meta-ethics, normative ethics and applied ethics. Meta-ethics refer to the origins and meanings of ethical principles, dealing with the nature of moral judgement. Normative ethics refers to what is right and wrong and concerned with the content of moral judgement. Rather applied ethics denotes to controversial ethical issues, often times polarizing our society, for instance animal rights.

Every employee shall be afforded the opportunity to work in an environment free from unwelcome sexual advances, and protected from any verbal, written or physical requests or conduct of a sexual nature. The policy of this organization shall be zero tolerance for any form of sexual harassment.

Throughout the last few weeks of class, we have discussed many different theories of ethics by many different philosophers. We have examined these theories by looking at different examples of how someone who believes in a specific theory would respond to the situation. I have come to the conclusion after closely examining each theory of ethics that virtue ethics presented by Rosalind Hursthouse is closest to correct. Even though virtue ethics has a few flaws that I believe need to be revised, this theory is closest to what I believe is correct. This theory is well structured and has fewer controversies than the other theories we have looked at because this theory deals with wider questions like, how should I live my life, instead of narrow questions like, how should I respond to this situation. In many other theories, we are given a specific, often unlikely situation, and given a specific way to respond to that situation. In my life I have always learned many important values from role models like my mom and dad. These people are considered virtuous people to me because I have learned right from wrong from them my entire life. Learning how to act from another person in real life situations better prepares me to make the right moral decisions in my own life. Overall, I believe that virtue ethics is the closets theory to correct because in virtue ethics, we are given a way to act and a role model to follow in order to make the right moral decision in all situations all of the

The Afterlife, a concept almost controversial enough we ought to legalize the option to transcend after death (just incase). The belief in an afterlife makes not only scientific but also idealistic sense. Though there are many different versions of the after life, this author supports re-incarnation from a Buddhist perspective.

The use of the words ethics and morality are often confused with each other especially these are commonly used in Philosophy and other related fields. This paper will discuss the distinction between these two concepts. According to Gammel (2007), the difference between the terms morality and ethics has a very thin line particularly in the daily language. Adding to this confusion is that other philosophical resources and materials use the terms interchangeably but some provide a definite distinction in between them. The word ethics is derived from the Greek word ‘ethos’ that refers to the habits, mores, and customs of the people. On the other hand, morality comes from the Latin word ‘moralis’ that signifies nearly the same definition like ethics which was introduced by the philosopher Cicero as the counterpart to the Greek word ethos. To put clarity on this matter, the author Gammel assumed that the uniform definition of morality points out to customs wherein these are the rules of do’s and don’ts that are accepted and shared as the governing standard and regulations in their community or society. These are often the accepted basis of life lessons which are not needed to be questioned on a rational way. On the contrary, ethics is the reflection philosophically towards these rules derived from morality and the manners of living together including the habits, customs, culture, and tradition of the people. This is very similar to the
