Golden rule requires that we treat people the same way we want to be treated. Many see the golden rule as a one-way street, in the interest of the strong. For example, the slave owners know slavery were wrong, but implanted the idea slavery is to the advantage of the slave. In order to practice the golden rule, one need to put self at the shoe of the other. This is one thing the slave’s masters never did. Ethically speaking, the golden rule treats someone the same way you would like to be treated in the same situation. Everyone would like to be free, be able to make one decision and fulfilling the happiness that all promise on health.

The Golden Rule states that we are to treat other people as we would like to be treated ourselves. It is followed by fellow believers and is recognized in all cultures and almost all major religions. R.M. MacIver states that this is the only rule that stands by itself in the light of its own reason, the only rule that can stand by itself in the naked, warring universe, in the face of the contending values of men and groups (274).

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.

Chapter nine talks about the environment within and virtues. Christian virtue ethics focus on the end of an act instead of on the consequences because the end says more about the agent (p.164, M). If one person does something that doesn't seem of good virtue, then Christian virtue won't judge that person till the end because their means for doing something could be different than one thinks. The goal of virtue ethics is not better decisions but better deciders (p.164, M). Virtue ethics is about an individual making a decision that may or may not be a good one. Then, people outside of that decision have to decide if that individual's decision was worth changing or leaving it be. Environmental virtue ethics aims for the formation of good people, because good

Virtue Ethics seems to be focusing what the individual should choose for their own personal actions instead of individual relying on the external laws and customs of the person's culture, and if a person's character is good then so ought the person's choices and

First, the ethical dilemma itself will be outlined. In the construction industry, it is often necessary for an owner or a construction company to enlist the help of other smaller or more specialized companies in the completion of a project. This practice is known as contracting. When an owner or company, referred to as the contractor, wants to contract out for a job, they will list the job and interested companies will bid for the contract. When arriving at a bid amount, interested companies will estimate

The function of this paper is to determine why and how three members of the cast in the videos “RPG Embedded in Soldier” made the choices they did in relation to the groups of values that are commonly found within the theory of virtue ethics. In short, virtue ethics stresses being an inherently good person versus simply doing good actions. This means that a virtuous person will typically choose the right action simply because it is the natural thing for them to do. Applying this concept to the video will help to further ascertain why the individuals in the video acted the way they did. Moreover, to back the concepts and claims made in this paper specific examples shall be cited from the video clip. As a result, this paper shall contain both concepts contained within virtue ethics and examples from the media piece.

Luke is an employee at ABC, and has been asked to work on a project that involves developing land that has been recently purchased to build an adult entertainment retail store. The land that ABC is purchasing is a plot of land located on the corner of the same neighborhood that Luke’s brother Owen lives in. The plans for the development of this land will remain private for one month. Once the plans are announced publicly, Luke knows that his brother’s property values will decrease significantly. Luke’s brother just received a modest offer on his home, but is thinking about declining the offer, as he has no reason to believe that the property value will not increase in the coming years.

Basically the new Golden Rule should be applied in all situations; treat others, as they themselves would like to be treated.

Kantianism and utilitarianism have different ways to determine whether an act we do is right or wrong (sirotkin, 2016) these two theories are foundations that addressed the same question, what us the principle of morality, the highest standard of what human beings ought to do? Moreover, in the workplace, these ethical questions are more important to follow. For example, Human Resource managers must contribute to their organizations, and have ethical honesty, their decisions must comply with
