The Ethics Primer

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

1. When discussing stereotypes and race, it is important to recognize how insignificant skin color is. Racism itself if focused mainly on cultural states, and more times than not, whites are considered culturally superior to people of color. The treatment of African Americans and Native Americans in American culture perfectly demonstrate how oppositional dichotomies of race define racial stereotypes. Cultural dominance was set since the first settlers began to participate in the slave trade. While the black slaves looked very different than their white counterparts, it was the culture of these Africans that subjected them to discrimination. Slave owners believed their culture was superior, meaning they could

After review the table l decided not to disclose any information because the harm was more than benefit. Based on the information provided the percentage of infection is very small.

Everyday health care workers around the world are faced with tough decisions. The law guides many decisions but some decisions require ethical considerations. Making good ethical decisions is not always as easy as it seems. Making ethical decisions is even harder when the primary intention is to be helpful, but it is beyond an employee’s qualifications.

From examining both ethical statutes, therapists can take it one step forward by taking ownership in violating the bond between therapist and client. Years of education, training and personal responsibility should prevent therapist from violating the bond between client and therapist. Clients entrust therapist with intimate details and instill trust in the therapist. This relationship can sometimes cross boundaries and cause the client to view the therapist in a different light. The same can be said of therapists who have gained the admiration and trust of their client. This places them at an unfair disadvantage and gives them the upper hand and a manipulative stance in entering any relationship outside of the proper scope of the therapist-client relationship.

I think it would be more advantageous for the company to maximize their diesel trucks. While Hydrogen may be the wave of the future, it has not arrived yet. Diesel engines, while nosier that other engines still offer up to 30% better mileage. Than gasoline engines. Diesel has been available for years, it’s relatively cheap to use and offers better mileage and longer engine life than gasoline. But all is not peaches and cream for diesel motors, they are noisy and offer lots of vibration. They are also terrible for the air, so they require more expensive equipment to combat strict emission standards. Because diesel has been a part of our economic system so long all the necessary infrastructure is already in place.

Over the course of PHI 102: Introduction to Ethics we looked into questions such as what is good? what is evil? by studying different moral theories. We learned about Relativism, Ethical Egoism,The Divine Command Theory, Utilitarianism, Kantian Deontology, The Social Contract Theory, Rawls’ Theory of Justice, and Feminist Ethics of Care. We studied these moral theories not to make judgements about the different moral theories that are out there but instead to attempt to have a better understanding of a variety of moral theories so that we would know the reasons for and against the moral theory we believe is “right”.

Aristotle represents virtue ethics, Kant represents duty ethics, and Mill represents utilitarianism. All three authors conceive of morality as the search for the highest good. They disagree about the definition of the highest good. For Aristotele, it is happiness understood as self-sufficiency (fulfillment of all desires), consisting in activity in conformity with virtue (EN 1.7), for Kant it is a good will, defined by duty (GMM, ed. Ellington, p. 7:393; p. 9:397), for Mill it is happiness understood as pleasure and absence of pain (Utilitarianism, ch. 2).

News media calls to attention current events. The information comes from real people who have had their lives changed be it for good or bad. Though what is being shared might not be prevalent at the time, it does call to attention one’s stance to the situation and possible future handlings of it. News media covers topics like teenage suicide, kidnappings, drive-by shootings, etc. Because such delicate topics are brought to light, it calls to attention one’s surroundings and forces reaction. The news media is a tool that relays stories but it is them who decide how to share them. However, it is how they do so that impacts the story, which is why they must remain true to facts to not deter from the message. When deterring occurs, lies spread and the topic isn’t what it began as but a twist to its original. By looking beyond what we know, and observing beyond our lens, we learn.

1) Choose one of these ethical theories and explain it as clearly as you can (highlight its key aspects):

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.

When you look at today’s corporate environment it can be intimidating to some and full of political agenda to others it’s a dog eat dog world in cooperate America. Businesses are built on standards, policy and procedures to guide the employee to be fair and conduct business with ethical standards. In today’s business and corporate environment there are ethical company standards which all associates must follow but businesses and their representatives are not moral agents. These are two (2) of the ethics business representative follows or implement in their companies: Deontology ethics which concerned with duties and rights. Rule Utilitarian ethic which focus on the beneficial consequences of breaking the law. An associate may want to conduct business ethically and for the most part they do but to close a business deal knowing that it may affect others negatively and generate revenue for the business the company will close that deal at any cost this is an example of Teleological and Utilitarianism ethics. In Teleological ethics, the end is the most important thing, and the ends justify the means. A manager will advise an employee do whatever it takes to close on an account no matter what the cost it doesn’t matter if moral or immoral. In Utilitarianism ethical theory morally correct course depends on the greater good an example is a manager will convince a sales person to sell as much product as he/she can to keep the other associates employed and the company from closing.

Each one throughout this world needs something to stop him or her from doing what is wrong and to guide them to continue in a good way. Parents or anyone who is responsible for someone else can take this role. However, it is much important that the person himself is the one who control the situation. That come from inside, from something, cannot be described, yes ethics. Ethics is the thing that helps use without our feeling. So it must be inside each soul, in each situation in the life and even work.
