Mayor Erin Stewart is hoping with the new baseball team coming to town, it will revitalize the city once again. However, economical experts seem to believe the New Britain Bees will not cause an economic boom as hoped for. Donn M. Johnson, a Interim Chair of Economics and a professor of Sports Economics at Quinnipiac University, suggests that bringing a new team to a town does little to none economical improvement. According to Johnson, if the people who are going to the games are largely local then it is just arranging the way town citizens use their money. For example, the eight dollars used to buy a game ticket could instead be used to buy a small pizza pie from a local business owner.…

Response to Kristen's post Kristen, I must say that I do agree with you when you stated that the insurance companies do dictate a patient's life. Being that the patient can't leave AMA and they will not pay is a bit absurd to me. I personally feel that the patient should be able to make whatever decision they feel is right especially when it comes to their health. So longs we explain the possible outcomes to them then the patient should be able to make their own choice. Sometimes the patients are tired of the treatments especially if they know that their disease is progressing and there is nothing that can be done but mask the symptoms and not cure the disease.…
Natalie: Natalie played a key role in the limited success on both sides of the case. While her knowledge of objections and procedure had some gaps, her willingness to provide advice and guide her teammates was invaluable. Natalie worked well with the witness with whom she was paired with for her direct (Bailey). Her (Natalie’s) determination to memorize most of her lines was demonstrated by her marked improvement during the Sunday rounds. Her direct-examination of Cary Kramer on Sunday struck a conversational tone, as did her cross-examination of Sawyer Shaw that same day.…
Suggestions I can offer Sandra and John about the short-term possibility of using Alpha’s and Beta’s NOLs against the profits that Alpha expects to earn and about minimizing their overall tax liabilities if both businesses become profitable. Suggestion one will be that they can control their shares of the corporation together for five years without being able to file a consolidated tax return. Suggestion two If Sandra and John want to be able to file a consolidated tax return on their shares they can convert their corporations into a parent – subsidiary corporate structure from a brother – sister corporation structure. Sandra and John can also choice to do a nontaxable merger of one corporation into the other. If Sandra and John agree to…

It is important to determine these ethical dilemmas because it is through this that counselors and therapists are able to make ethical choices which are necessary for their work. The decisions they make can greatly affect their clients (Schneider & Levinson, 2005). Aside from that, it is the call of their profession to make wise decisions to set precedents even if it means making a difficult choice. Hence, counselors and therapists should not take their responsibility lightly. Schneider and Levinson (2005) believe that these people must always strive to do the right…
Counselors are faced with many situations that test their moral and ethical beliefs. Although there are numerous guides for counselors to follow, none can offer absolute solutions to every scenario. Some situation, no matter the course of action, may have consequences that may harm the counseling relationship. However, “A practitioner’s guide to ethical decision making”, by the American Counseling Association (ACA) offers a seven step decision making model that will help counselors with the challenges of ethical dilemmas (Forester-Miller & Davis, 1996). This paper will use the decision making model to analyze scenario 2.…
Each day people are confronted with having to solve an ethical dilemma. Some decisions are easier to make than other. How we make our decision is based on our worldview. Throughout this essay, I will be focusing on an ethical dilemma about abortion in a Christian worldview understanding, when being told your unborn child has Down syndrome. 1.…
Since ethics are influenced by our upbringing and role models, they vary from person to person. Dilemmas were extensively discussed in the weekly team meetings in SPE 567. This was my first opportunity in the course to observe how individual perceptions influenced the interpretation of each ethical scenario, and subsequently, the solution to addressing the issue. It should also be noted that the “identified” issue also differed among team members.…
An ethical dilemma is considered a circumstance that requires someone two equally unfavorable situations. Unfortunately the ethical dilemma does not solve the initial problem, but nurses and other health care providers must assess and clarify the ethical dilemma and gather data. Once the dilemma has been identified, healthcare providers can identify options and make decisions to act (Black, 2017). In the Lee’s case, these strategies were not put into place soon enough. Step one in the ethical decision making model is identifing the problem and factors maintaining the problem.…
In chapter 4 of James Rachels and Stuart Rachels book, The Elements of Moral Philosophy, the authors examine the philosophical question whether morality depends on religion. They noted that in popular thinking, morality and religion are inseparable and that people generally accept that morality can be understood only in the framework of religion. On the other hand, from the perspective of the atheist or non religious people, the world is full of evil and in total chaos. Furthermore, the concept behind an all loving God and the ultimate rule maker of the moral code depicts the theory of Divine Command. The Divine Command Theory postulates that the question of what is morally right is commanded by God, and morally wrong is forbidden by God and draws a conclusion that the objectivity problem in ethics seems to be solved.…
In situations where ethical decisions needs to be made, nurses will require combining every elements of the moral model to resolve the clinical problems. The moral model includes five steps: (1) massage the dilemma, (2) outline the options, (3) resolve the dilemma, (4) act by applying the chosen option, and (5) look back and evaluate the entire process (Guido, 2014). Applying the MORAL model of ethical decision making to the clinical dilemma of the under insured/uninsured not frequently receiving the care they need, a nurse like myself can advocate for standard care for the patients. The first step in the MORAL decision making model helps to explain all areas of the ethical dilemma.…
