If I were teaching a course on ethics I would have a few goals. The first would be to teach my students how to use their ability to think critically. I would start with critical thinking because I do not believe that any of us can begin to understand existing ethical theories or really examine our existing ethical values without the ability to think critically about them. We need to be able to use reason, rather than emotion when studying ethics and without the knowledge of critical thinking…

Since these moral standards do not vary, it makes sense for a multicultural firm to develop a code of ethics that it can apply to all of its multicultural operations, without having to adjust for local customs as these beliefs are universal. In the McDonald’s scenario, ethical universalism would prove that even though the Korean customers are preventing…

Is it ethical, in a case like this, to conduct medical research on animals, who will presumably suffer and die as a result? Carrying out of medical research on animals has been one of the ways, widely used to find a solution to some diseases, and also to test the effectiveness of drugs before administered it to human being.

lead to a write-off because a customer did not pay. Furthermore, this is why ethics plays an important role by the creditor and the debtor. According to my accounting course, ethics is “a code of conduct or set of beliefs that dictate what is right, wrong, fair, and unfair” (Ethics - Definition | Meaning | Example, n.d.). In addition, these codes and beliefs need to be applied equally. It is important to understand why ethics is so important in receivables and what could happen when it is not…

Niccolò Machiavelli spent a large majority of his aristocratic platform defaming the many intrinsic characteristics of human emotion and experience. He consciously ignored the essential acts of care and compassion while promoting a message of fear and hate. His teachings offered detailed instructions on the succession and maintenance of a fear-abiding society encapsulated by submission. His philosophy stated that the best interest of the general public was to irrefutably follow the rule of law.…

actions and choices seem a bit questionable. God’s command to kill one’s own son is fundamentally unreasonable given the premise that God is all good, and Abraham’s willingness and lack of objection in obeying him subsequently demonstrates a lack of ethics. One of the first things that should raise some concerns in Abraham’s story is why God would command Abraham to kill Isaac, his only son, who God himself promised to him (Genesis 17:16). Operating on the premise that God is all-good, this…

Professional ethics has been an essential topic for engineers to comply to. This concept of professional ethics can be categorized into three varieties: prohibitive ethics, preventive ethics, and virtue ethics. Virtue ethics emphasizes the concept for engineers to promote the qualities of a character and also the quality of life of the people. This is supported by the Texas Engineer Practice Act where it is stated that: “Engineers shall be entrusted to protect the health, safety, property, and…

In 1886, Friedrich Nietzsche published his book Beyond Good and Evil in Germany, a work in which he implies his criticism of dogmatism while simultaneously emphasizing the need for one to adopt his own moral code. I believe he published his book not only for past philosophers, but for the middle class as well. He states, “the gregarious European man nowadays assumes an air as if he were the only kind of man allowable” (Nietzsche, 121). With this statement, I believe Nietzsche targets past…

There exists a woman, lets call her Jenny, who would have been appointed to a major advisory position if Hillary Clinton would’ve became president. Jenny is an expert on welfare policy. But, as you may know, Clinton didn’t win the election leaving Jenny without a Job. Now for our scenario lets say Hillary’s competitor, Donald Trump, who Jenny despises and believes will be a bad president, offers her the same job. Should she take it? My answer is yes; Jenny should accept the job. It would be in…
