By humiliating Birling like this, Priestley degrades the conservative and capitalist viewpoints. This is intended to make people rethink their current political standpoint and reconsider the labour party for power. In contrast to this, is the Inspector who is clearly a socialist. The Inspector reminds us of our responsibilities for each other: 'All intertwined with our lives, and what we think and say and do. We don't live alone.…
It is more common for the public to hear of disasters rather disasters that were narrowly missed. In “The Fifty-Nine-Story Crisis”, Joe Morgenstern tells the tale of structural engineer William LeMessurier navigating complicated ethical decisions in order to salvage a flawed building. By doing this LeMessurier risked his entire career and could have harmed thousands of people had he not made the right decisions. When LeMessurier had a student question a building he helped design, the Citicorp Center, he decided to test whether quartering winds would increase the strain on the building.…
Discussion & Reflection Identify in detail an ethical dilemma that you have had with a colleague or classmate. Use the same guidance as provided for the discussion questions. I work for an agency that serves low-income families in the High Desert. The program services children ages ranging from 18 months to 5 years old. The families we served come from diverse backgrounds and many children have been in foster care.…
RWA 3 501 Who Owes Loyalty to Whom? In this particular ethical dilemma one colleague, John, is telling clients about another colleague, Jane, sexual orientation. When Jane goes and speaks to her field supervisor about the situation she says that she can no do anything about the situation because one of Johns relatives is a board member with a lot of power and she is afraid that if she does do something she will lose her job. In this case there are many ethical principles that were broken.…
Unethical Conduct of Colleagues According to the National Association of Social Workers (NASW) Code of Ethics book, (NASW) Code of Ethics is intended to serve as a guide to the everyday professional conduct of social workers. The NASW Code of Ethics is designed to provide an overview of the code’s main functions and a brief guide for dealing with ethical issues or dilemmas in social work practice. There are several codes of ethics that might be a dilemma to social work professionals; however, I will be expounding on unethical conduct of colleagues.…
The ethical dilemma that is created by combat medic’s treating enemy combatants is a good analogy to use. This also adds in the ethical dilemma of outside influence as your fellow service members may feel differently about the enemy’s condition. Acting in and exempt from a combat environment during combat is difficult enough. How the medic handles the situation, while adhering to the conditions of directives, will affect the unit cohesion. Making this more stressful on the prioritization of the medic and the tone of ramification of the ideals of right and wrong.…
You cannot have man without him having morals. Whether they originate from the type of upbringing, governmental restrictions, social grouping, or religious association, men will always have an enclosure of values and ethics in which he lives, and he himself is made up of as an individual of society. In modern and past day culture, many will argue that religion is one of the main derivatives of the maintaining of values in a group of people, and those devout say one cannot have morals without the presence of religion. However, some values, religious origin or not, go against the grain of societal normality. Principles concerning only the desires of oneself can be viewed as selfish or unholy, and typically are not considered values to begin with.…
In our textbook, Rachels argues that people require humility and the understanding of where they stand in the universe. He believes that we should treat people the way they deserve to be treated and that we should hope these actions are reciprocated onto us. He believes that there are multiple strategies in finding where we are in life, such as comparing one’s life to that of other’s. We must know that we are not alone in this world and that we have an obligation in taking care of others. Rachels believes that we are rewarded for our work and self-improvement, but not our luck.…
Relevance of Case/Dilemma to Advanced Nursing Practice. Resolving ethical dilemmas often requires a structured approach to ensure that all participants have an opportunity to provide input. Using a structure such as the MORAL model puts a public face on the decision-making process with subsequent resolution in open, guided discussions. When mental capacity is lacking, we as advanced practice nurses need to care for the patient by ensuring that even with involuntary commitment, the patients utmost benefit is at the helm of our decisions making process. In the absence of questionable mental capacity, nurse practitioners will support the individual by providing enough information to make informed decisions about their care, while respecting preferences…
To further clarify the hypersensitive mood that engulfs this case study, Trimberger (2012) opines that the intimate relationship encompassed with the clinical approach held by and large between the social workers and their respective clients, harnesses the potential to blur the structured boundaries which were initially erected with the intentions of maintaining the separation of professional and personal communications and behaviors. Another key point in Trimberger (2012), correspondingly takes hold as the identification of professional boundaries and ethical behaviors as the fundamental principles that comprise the field of social work. Comparatively, in order to be effective in their roles, social workers must develop relationships with…
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.…
The second theory to be review was contextual ethics. This ethical theory was reviewed because professional code of ethics need to be inclusive to society. According to the Communication Ethics Literacy textbook it stated the contextual approach looks at “the situation in which we find ourselves should guide our choice of what to say or do” (Arnett 45).” Another part of this theory that caught my attention was “justifies different communication standards for different audiences, cultures, and relationships (Arnett 51).” Looking how this theory would affect relationships it would work being very adaptable to different relationship scenarios depending on the culture or scenario a communicator found themselves in.…
In life, we encounter many dilemmas and often have to determine what is right and wrong for the moral good of ourselves. One person’s morals may completely differ from another 's and this book displays it vividly. Men that dedicate their lives to serving their country sometimes find themselves in difficult debates quite like these. In the book, A Few Good Men, by Aaron Sorkin, Colonel Jessep was faced with the decision to either defend his nation or to let two of his own men take the fall for Santiago’s death. A similar ethical issue is when Corporal Downey and Corporal Dawson have to make the choice between being faithful marines or good people that are aware of right versus wrong.…
Did the End Justify the Means? An ethical dilemma is a situation where one has to make a decision between two moral options; both of these options would end up with a negative result. In the movie called, “John Q”, John Q Archibald has a son who has a fatal cardiac condition and needs surgery as soon as possible. However, the parents do not have nearly as much as they need to even pay the deposit.…
The main actors of this case are: • Ellen Durham, the vice president for product development of HyperBX, and the head of the meeting • David Mitchell, the chief of the Sales department of HyperBX • Rachel Osborne, researcher for HyperBX These three people have affected by this situation for three different reasons. Ellen is the boss, and she is responsible for the acting of her subordinates. David is the one who sells and conclude contracts with the customers (which are the reason of the discussion and the ethical dilemma). Rachel is directly involved in the selling process because she, as an expert of the biotechnological sector, gives the sales department the name and the contact of some potential customers.…
