Ethical decision making is a term that refers to the process of evaluating and making alternatives in a consistent with ethical principles. When making ethical decisions, it is necessary for the decision maker to eliminate the unethical options, and to select the best ethical alternative. There are six basic principles to ethical decision making: autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, fidelity and veracity. Making ethical decisions can sometimes be hard, especially when it comes to situations where it involves culturally diverse populations. Autonomy is the first principle.…
I thought I was going to have the opportunity to advocate for a client because one of them confided in me that the reason they rarely come out of their room was because of how much pain they have in their legs when they are not elevated. Working in the past as a home health aide I knew that was an easily remedied problem. I couldn’t wait for my first opportunity to advocate for a client so I went to our social service morning meeting ready to convince Maryann and Kathy this particular client’s life would improve so much if she just had a wheelchair that raised her legs up. Unfortunately, they explained to me that in the two years that she had been with them she always used a different excuse but no matter how many provisions they made for her she never came out to socialize. I articulated my disappointment to Kathy and she told me about a time when a very young client with moderately low cognitive functioning came to their facility after breaking his hip.…
“So then, while we have opportunity, let us do well to all people and especially to those who are of the household of the faith” Galatians 6:10 (Dake’s Annontated Reference Bible). As Christians we are faced with making ethical decisions not only about ourselves, but also about others and this is especially important in our business professions. God has taught us that we should treat others with respect and dignity and should treat them, as we would like to be treated. When Christians make ethical decisions they should always consider what God has taught them and should always take each opportunity to make the right decision for not only ourselves but for others. This people paper will distinguish two models for solving ethical problems inside organizations, how ethical decisions are made inside of energy as well as what can be done to install better…

What would you do if someone came up to you and asked you for money? Would you give them money or say that you don’t have any, although you really do? According to Ann Paulins and Julie L. Hillery (2009) ethics is the act of making moral judgements on a daily basis. It is what we consider to be morally right or wrong.

WHEN IN ROME Case Study 2 Alexander Gavin, Senior Project Manager for Kuwait’s EL Sahd Construction Company, is presented with an opportunity and dilemma packaged together in the same proposal.

From Socrates to W.D. Ross, ethics are, in essence, the system of fundamental principles of decent human behaviour, which has been theorised, criticised and debated about in civil society for centuries.

Act utilitarianism promotes universal hedonism, impartiality and judges the utility of deeds through the calculation of pleasure and pain. Virtue ethics accentuates that proper habituation leads to good ethical and practical reasoning and that virtues are the guidelines to human flourishing and a nurturing society. Ethical theories should consider the entire disposition…

Studies suggest that organizations must balance their aspirations to make profits along with the high ethical standards required by the social order. As more firms recognize the benefits of cultivating business ethics, a firm’s social responsibility, compliant culture, and moral decision-making can positively affect organizational outcomes and financial performance.…
