Reflection On Ethical Lens Exercise

Decent Essays
I had a really hard time with the ethical lens exercise; it seemed that the harder I tried to figure out what the exercise was trying to develop. The answers seemed to be mostly perspective, with no logic behind the reason to pick one answer over the other but once I came to the realization that the answers were supposed to be based on different people from the different lens categories it became easier but I still couldn’t get the right answers. In the end the best way for me to answer the questions was to stop over analyzing the questions and just look at the answers biased what was result orientated, relationship orientated, etc.

    I appreciate your points on provision 2 and 3 of the Code of Ethics set forth by the American Nurses Association. Provision 3 states that the nurse acts as an advocate for the patient, protecting their rights health and safety (ANA, 2015). From the onset of nursing school we learn that nurses are the patients advocate. It seems almost cliché after many years in the clinical setting and at times I think nurses advocate for patients in ways they are not even aware. Currently I work in the ambulatory care setting of a busy neurosurgical practice.…

    If I had to pick the morals and values that would best describe my personal moral theory I would choose Utilitarianism, Deontology and Cultural Relativism. To be honest, when it comes to a topic such as this it can be hard to put everything in words. I don’t always inspect certain parts of life to see where I could apply critical thinking, but I do have ways of deciding what I believe is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ in different situations. In the textbook Think by Judith Boss she defines utilitarianism as “a moral philosophy in which actions are evaluated based on consequences”.…

The reason behind my recommendation is that by using the categorical imperative from the view of the company and its stakeholders Luke can ensure that the inevitable damage that would have otherwise occurred would not actually occur. At the present time there is no proof that Owen would actually suffer a loss if Luke doesn’t tell Owen about the future decline in property values. Thus, from the information that is currently known, it is best to go with the categorical imperative from the company’s point of view.…

    To develop a statement about that incorporates all the aspects of my personal moral and ethical code I had to reflect back on my life, my decisions, actions and the manner in which I was raised. I have always know what I should do but now I can look back and label my choices and understand why I made the decisions I did. My statement is this I subscribe the rule of Hard Universalism, the theory of psychological egoism and because we are always selfish I believe utilitarianism represents the base desires of personhood. Everyone believes their desire is for the greater good and the right choice because they are selfish, these theories go hand in hand and dictate many of the actions of people in this world as well as the cravings we strive to rise above.…
