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
The AAMFT Code of Ethic is a written foundational ethical principles for professional prescribing mandatory direction for obligatory or prohibited action (American Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, 2012). The ethical code is designed to protect the professional, it is not enough for a therapist to know and follow the AAMFT Code of Ethics by itself. Because, there are other common threads that surround and overlaps the AAMFT Code of Ethics, which are developing the competences in legal laws from both state and federal level and regulations that apply to the practice of marriage and family therapy (Gehart, 2014). When it comes to laws versus AAMFT Code of Ethics, the law will always take presidents and trump everything else even the AAMFT code of ethics (Gehart, 2014). This is one of the many reasons why it is not enough for therapist to know and follow the AAMFT Code of Ethics by itself.
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
Every day we are faced with certain situations that challenge us with how to act in an ethical manner. It can be human nature to feel unsure or conflicted with the correct moral choice. Some can say that one should know how to handle such dilemmas and others may say that there should be a reference of some sort to help guide through such conflicts. Sometimes we know the answers and sometimes we are unsure of how to handle certain situations. Most times we go through life wondering what we should do. As I become further educated on the different theories of ethics, I believe there are answers that are available in guiding one through an ethical dilemma and or judgment. I will discuss Vincent Ruggiero’s three basic criteria, Robert Kegan’s order of consciousness, the three schools of ethics and the correlation between all three.
Yes, the information in the headnote describing the author's, Michael Dillingham, qualifications persuades me to side with his opinion. Why? Simply because he is a well-educated individual.

I think these are meant to ensure that children in a childcare center, whether it is a home daycare or a public daycare, are in a safe environment, given tasks appropriate for their age, be respected for their culture and diversity, and feel loved by their caretakers. This is evident in the NAEYC Code of Ethics core values. Without these standards, there would be no moral code to follow. This could lead to disrespect to the children, colleague or the person’s higher authority. If a child feels like their way of daily life or themselves are not appreciated, then they might not be willing to learn from their teacher.
Confidentiality after death: Please read the case examples and answer the following questions. Example 1: After the deaths of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ron Goldman (see: Hunt, 1999) Susan J.

The heart of ethics is a consideration for what constitutes a good life. Upbringing, lived experiences, religious or faith-based belief systems, and social class are some examples shaping the lens from which we view, judge, and act upon or within the world around us.

Any time of planning is a process outlining the objectives for future direction. At times this may also include determining course and implementation on how to achieve the targets. This is city planning in a nut shell. The purpose of city planning is listed in its code of ethics. Planners have the responsibility “to serve the public interest with compassion for the welfare of all people (APA, 2005).” Because it is a planner’s job to plan for the public, this in turn will have a direct effect on a population.
In a perfect world, you imagine that the people who are serve and protect us wouldn’t be the corrupt ones . Not saying that there aren’t temptations to take advantage and abuse its power, but with a safety net consisting of background investigators, drill instructors, and psychologist evaluating and assessing for such inadequacy of character, the profession ideally should be spared their presence. And yet immoral, wicked and corrupt souls do get hired and even promoted. No rank ,whether it’s entry level or sergeant, is immune to the possibility of corruption, and when their corrupting natures become obvious in abuses of power and acts of deception it becomes an obvious problem to the point others notice. That person proves to be someone with

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
