Social ethics

Ethics is the broad theme of ISLLC Standard 5. The activities related to this standard provided me with a means to reflect on my personal code of ethics, explore ethics from the perspective of a district official, and to hear others’ perspectives of ethics in the school organization. The first activity allowed me to interview Richard Stiverson, a school board member, regarding his code of ethics. The interview was insightful and did not veer far from what I consider to be ethical. With regard to…

By consequentialist ethics, the church members’ prejudice toward the poor and their body language to despise him were not ethical actions. It’s because consequences determine the right or wrong actions. Their reaction didn’t produce the best results but the death of the poor man. Its consequence didn’t bring happiness to anyone. Consequentialist utilize an evaluation of results while deontological ethics utilize rule and principles (Hollinger 28). By deontological ethics, their reaction was not…

Ethics is a very complicated matter because it is very diverse. It can come from many forms like religious belief and culture. This is evident in the guidelines that prompt our everyday lives like the rules that we might follow at church, at home, or in our day to day lives. It can also be heavily ruled by personal experiences. The many environmental and social factors can influence a person to believe the way they do. It can be something as simple as how someone was brought up but can differ…

Connection between Ethics and Politics The primary concern of politics is to give the description of a government structure and function by describing laws for the citizens to regulate their behavior. It does all this to achieve and bring to recognition the good of the public. Man is hardly a social being alone but also a political being because of the close interdependence between them and the state. Ethics and politics have an intimate relationship considering that both are normative…

In my opinion, ethics is one of the most controversial topics that can be approached. According to Kory Floyd, ethics is “a code of morality or a set of ideas about what is right” (30). The issue though, is each person’s code or idea might vary between cultures and individuals (Floyd 30). In the United States, having a population of over 318 million, this variation can be extremely problematic. Thus, to ask if something is ethical or not, all ideas of ethics should be taken into account. This…

It was not until 1959, where a legitimate code (e.g., Principle 3: Moral and Legal Standards) was predominantly attributing a form of responsibility between the psychologist and the client/student/colleagues (American Psychological Association [PDF file], n.d.). Insofar, it was not until 1974, where…
