The Pros And Cons Of Ethical Dilemmas

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.

In Rebecca & ‘Zorba’s’ Restaurant case, the main issue is whether negligence exists of the defendant? There are three prerequisites must be present before the tort of negligence can arise: a duty of care must be owed by one person to another; there must be a breach of that duty of care; and damage must have been suffered as a result of the breach of duty. (FoBL, 2005, p70) In addition, another element must be satisfied to prove negligence is the causation. This essay will analysis Rebecca v. ‘Zorba’s’ with these four issues.

Discuss the ethical dilemmas PMHNPs sometimes find themselves in and name the opposing ethical principles

It is a hot summer day, and Bob is traveling home after a long day at work. The air-conditioning in the car is broken, and he is musing about his argument with his boss earlier. Distracted by the heat of the day, he darts through a red light, and sees another driver racing toward his right. He attempts to slam on his brakes, but is unable to avoid the impending collision. Tragic scenes like these occur around the world every day. A person’s life could be ended or forever changed by another’s unintentional negligence. If Bob was taken to civil court for his actions, he could be forced to cover the cost of any harms inflicted on others during the incident. Legal experts use the word tort to describe harms like these. The laws that govern how torts are handled in the court systems of America have been under severe attack in recent years. Many groups have successfully lobbied several state legislatures into making reforms to their tort laws. Unfortunately, even though many of these reforms are established with the best of intentions, legislators at times make spontaneous, illogical decisions as reactions to current problems. Often these extemporaneous decisions lead to substantive problems. Therefore, it should be stated that current tort reform is insufficient for the needs of society.

Case Study: Amy West suffered severe lacerations (cuts) on her legs from flying glass, when a bottle of carbonated soda exploded in a grocery store. She claimed that she was reaching for a bottle of the same soda on a higher shelf, and that a bottle on the bottom shelf violently exploded, without warning. Amy is suing the grocery store and the soda manufacturer for damages and

Communication Officer Lindbloom, advised me to respond to 309 Hyatt Street. I arrived at 309 Hyatt Street and made contact with the grandma of the victim and she advised me to meet her daughter Felicia Allen, and granddaughter Olivia Allen at Joyce Park.

When faced with ethical dilemmas, medical practitioners should be guided by the ethical precepts of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence and justice. These ethical precepts are of absolute importance in which ethical problems, faced in medicine, are taught to professionals and medical students alike (Christen, Ineichen & Tanner, 2014). Where conflicting obligations and responsibilities are faced, these codes will also provide some sort of framework in making informed choices (Turner, 2012). The purpose of this paper is to briefly explain what these four precepts are, and to apply them to the disciplines of psychotherapy, public health and scientific research to demonstrate how important and vital it is to adhere to them. I will also apply

In the case Palsgraf v Long Island Railroad Company, the Plaintiff (Mrs. Palsgraf) was standing on a railroad platform when two men running by with railroad employees, fell and dropped a package. The seemingly innocent package contained fireworks, which in turn exploded, and some of the fragments injured the by standing woman, who then sued for negligence. The issue, however, is what constitutes negligence, and what duty citizens have to ensure the safety of those around them.

According to Nickerson (n.d.), “organ donation is the act of donating an organ by a person and it can be transplanted by surgical procedure in the body of the recipient (para.1)”. This procedure is made with fully informed consent from the donor. Organ donation is one of the most popular topic and many are not aware for the good benefit of it. According to Midwest Transplant Network (2010), it can helps the “recipient largely by continuing and maintaining quality of life, improving health, adding another span of life and saving him from even death (MTN, 2010).”

thical work by program evaluators needs honesty and transparency among stakeholders. The ethical guidelines are crucial to carrying out any form data collection. The Joint Committee on Standards for Educational Evaluation (JCSEE) help protects both the stakeholders and evaluators (JCSEE, 2016). The power of data, however, to decide program deficiencies and tell the field evaluators about effective programs. Ethical considerations and dilemmas found in Grand City’s “Ethical Dilemmas,” “Project Plan for Evaluation Statewide Afterschool Initiative,” and “Evaluation of a School Improvement Grant to Increase Parent Involvement” comes down to objectivity. What we think of objectivity is bias, prejudice, and the underlying assumptions that may

The purpose of this paper is to describe an ethical dilemma, and discuss a solution based on a bioethical standard. In doing so, I will also consider the context of the ethical dilemma, the role of reason and the desire of the patient. Inherent in working as a nurse in a psychiatric emergency room, I am faced with ethical dilemmas on a daily basis. Ethical dilemmas relating to a) patient rights- a right to refuse medication and treatment, to the least restrictive environment possible, to privacy and confidentiality, to have and give informed consent. b) patient autonomy- patients held on a voluntary or involuntary basis (Eren, 2014; Townsend, 2015). Children present with unique needs because they cannot consent for themselves, are developmentally immature, need care, advocacy, and protection.

On 12-08-2015 at approximately 2100 hours I Officer Hildebrand, Sgt. Joseph Harris and Officer Steve Kunnath was notified of a stolen vehicle on Highway 89 South headed Northbound. Park County Sheriff Deputies were enroute.

There have been several researches, which suggests that constant crying may negatively affect interaction with the child. With that said, mothers have described as less responsible, sensitive, and affectionate. That can be the reason why there might be a relationship between crying and physical abuse of infants. “‘Physical abuse is the leading cause of injury- related infant death, and the incidence of inflicted traumatic brain injury for children under 1 year of age had been estimated at 30 per 100,000’”. Crying is associated with violent physical abuse against infants, the crying makes the caregiver desperate and shakes or physical abuses the child to get him to stop crying. There is not much research about the topic because of the ethical issues because it’s hard to manipulate the crying of a baby. The studies that have been conducted related to this topic have used recording of a baby cry. One of the few studies that have been made regards the crying of

My research began when I was interviewing a West Virginia State Police officer about an ethical or moral dilemma that the officer might have encountered over the years of working. After talking back and forth and waiting a couple of weeks the officer was able to find a dilemma that both was morally and ethically wrong. It was difficult for the officer to find a dilemma that the officer was comfortable to speak about and would not cause any issues explaining.

Perhaps the greatest insight provided by my colleague's discussion is the deconstruction of the process by which the concept of negligence did ultimately emerge as a new tort standard. Here, the discussion illustrates the challenge before a judicial body when a legal conflict appears to bring about a new and previously unforeseen point of contention. In this case, as my colleague highlights so effectively, the charge of fraud would be the only theretofore existent way of legally addressing liability for a business or organization such as the defendant in this case. The great insight provided by my colleague is in acknowledgement of the exhaustive review of existing legal documents engaged by the ruling parties and arguing parties. This process demonstrates well that even where no precedent existing for what would become the charge of negligence,
