Wellsfargo's 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.

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

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

What exactly does the term “ethics” mean? When asking this question among several different groups of people, I’m sure all of their answers would be different in many ways, but would all draw the general theme that ethics is somewhat of a study of what is right and what is wrong. This is a mostly correct conclusion, except for the fact that it encompasses not only determining what is right and wrong, but attempting to systemize and defend those ethical positions which one holds. Almost all of the controversial headlines you see in the media today involve some sort of question of ethics. Abortion. Healthcare. (“Should we take money from the rich and give to the poor to pay for medical expenses?”) Gun laws. Euthanasia, etc. The topic I want

Legal Reasons: From a legal standing, the company’s position is indefensible. Beginning with the position the company began to take, the company was aware of the salary each employee earned and therefore had to consider what a 200% bonus for each employee would look like before making the offer. Based on this fact alone, Bahr has every right to demand the full 200% bonus and take legal actions where the company fails to pay the full amount of

Morality is based on the care for others. However, when others’ interests conflict with oneselves, acting moral becomes difficult. Recently, Dave Barrow in the CBC news article Weed Stores Will Soon Be Legal Across Ontario, But Richmond Hill’s Mayor Wants No Part Of It by Nick Boisvert shows his strong morality that is selfless and disciplined.

An adult patient is a member of a religion that does not believe in receiving blood. The patient receives a colostomy and begins hemorrhaging. He is unable to voice his objections. You know of this patient’s strong beliefs and that he does not want to receive blood. On the admission sheet, the area for religion is blank. He has no family. The nurses and doctors want to give blood and you do not want him to die.

Samuel Weston is a 75 year old man who after several strokes is now ‘terminally comatose’. He is breathing on his own, however, he is on a feeding tube as well as getting antibiotics through a tube. Doctors say that eventually his heart will stop, but are unsure of when. They also say that Mr. Weston is permanently unconscious with no chance of improvement and he will never function as a human being again. The family is torn on what to do, some want to pull the tubes out, and some think this would be murder. Jonathan Weston, who has power of attorney, has decided to take the case to the hospitals ethics committee where they must decide what to do. These are the decisions I have come up with:

In 2015 28 individuals were executed by lethal injection on death row in the United States. They one thing they shared in common is that they were all convicted of murder. The death penalty is a very controversial issue in the United States, with some states staunchly in favour of it and other states even placing a moratorium on all executions. Proponents of the death penalty argue that it is essential for a government to advocate equivocal morality, and that the death penalty is a fitting punishment for murder. Death penalty abolitionists claim that the death penalty bears the risk of executing innocent individuals, and that it cheapens human life. All these arguments are relevant for the character Mariam in the novel A Thousand Splendid Suns

Pignatelli is desperate, and he may be leaning in the direction of hiring a consultant who might use part of the money for bribes. Although Pignatelli does not pay the money directly, he is the person providing the money. It does not absolve him of responsibility because he is authorizing this unethical action. Pignatelli made the decision of hiring a consultant with absolute knowledge about how the money will be used. If he chose this option, he would be responsible for making the decision of hiring the consultant knowing that the money will be used for unethical behaviors like bribes.

“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

is a debatable topic, but in my opinion, there are good and evil in ethics. As I know, ethics is a common good that people agree to follow. It is hard to define what is right or wrong in some situation, but we often use a term 'unethical' in universal cases. If there is no good and evil in ethics, how can we sort out the cases whether it is ethical or unethical? For this reason, I'm careful to say that ethics is discerned from good and

Michael H., a 68-year-old man, was admitted for exploratory surgery of his abdomen. He is frail, and his attending physician describes him as “emotionally labile.” Marcy R. is a social worker at BFL General Hospital, who is assigned to the unit that Michael H has been admitted. After Michael’s surgery, Marcy R. was approached by Michael H.’s daughter, Ellen B. in which Ellen has told Marcy that her father’s physician had just informed her that the lab report from the exploratory surgery shows that her father has terminal cancer. Ellen said that she and the family are in shock and they have decided that they not want the hospital staff to tell her father about the terminal nature of his cancer once he recovers from anesthesia. In this essay, I will discuss the ethical dilemma of “to tell Michael or not to tell him he has terminal cancer. He has the right to confidentiality by not withholding information from him when he has been diagnosed with terminal cancer, informed consent, and self-determination.

Ethics can be dangerous to your career. The danger may come not from your own ethics but from the ethics of people around you and the organization of which you are a part. Employees have various moral decisions to make. Many of these decisions should be made on the basis of our moral obligations, but sometimes the morally preferable action could require courage and be performed beyond the call of duty. One defense against involvement in wrongdoing is vocalizing when there are unethical practices being made. While being prepared for organizational challenges that will inevitably test your personal values, moral beliefs, and commitment may be doing the right thing, is it ethical when one’s job is on the line?

There are so many ethical ideal that I have learned from this subject, got honesty, forgiveness, justice, etc. However, I think that the greatest ethical ideal that I have learned is beneficence. In normal word, beneficence is meaning the action to do benefit and promote the good to other people. While in the language of a principle or rule of beneficence refers to a normative statement of a moral obligation to act for the benefit of other, helping them to further their important and legitimate interests, often by preventing or removing possible harms. I will choose beneficence is because there are many people in this world they need the help from other, although it is only a small thing but when we help them this is also can count as
