a potential to obtain sexual gratification, they should instead be viewed as a whole person despite the sexual gratification they may or may not provide. This will decrease the stigmatization of women’s sexuality. When this framework is implemented, a woman dressed modestly will be treated no differently than a woman dressed immodestly. Men will commit less crimes against women and women will suffer less assaults. Carol Gilligan suggests another framework called care ethics. This framework…

In various ways, women have made significant progress toward sexual equality over the past several centuries. Nevertheless, a considerable gap remains between the rights given to men and women in modern American society. For the most part, American women can obtain a higher education and hold a powerful job; however, when dealing with politics, our ethics and morals surrounding “sexual equality” become unclear. Sadly, the majority of society continually places men high above women when it comes…

basis of Hindu ethics is this: “There is one all-pervading Atman. It is the innermost soul of all beings. This is the common, pure consciousness. If you injure your neighbour, you really injure yourself. If you injure any other creature, you really injure yourself, because the whole world is nothing but your own Self.” This is Hindu ethics. This is the basic metaphysical truth that underlies all Hindu ethical codes. The first thing you learn from religion is the unity of all selves. Ethics in…

As discussed previously, the referral of a client based solely on his/her sexual orientation is not only illegal, it is also unethical for mental health professionals (APA, 2010). On the other hand, the APA Ethics Code (2010) states it is unethical for a mental health professional to provide services outside of their boundaries of competence. The contradiction of these two standards lead to an ethical dilemma that many mental health professionals face. Shiles (2009) created a set of eight…

Many people believe that ethics are completely determined by religion (Blackburn page 10). However, Blackburn disagrees with this belief. During the nineteenth century, in western cultures, more people began to stray away from traditional religious beliefs (Blackburn page 10). Many philosophers believed that with the loss of religion also came the loss of ethics Blackburn page 10. Dostoevsky asked “If god is dead, everything is permitted? (Blackburn page 10). Blackburn’s answer to this question…

At a young age, our elders introduced the idea of ethics—what is right versus what is wrong. Through trial and error, we learned to not put the coin in our mouth, to not hit our siblings, and to leave the cookie jar alone. Or at least, we learned to not partake in these misdemeanors when anyone was looking. Ethics were established, but we never realized the extent it would proceed to once we grew older; we didn’t understand that further ethical-challenging decisions lay ahead. Suddenly, eating…
