Ethics Week3
In the first situation, the mayor is doing what we see and hear on a daily basis. We just watched the trials of Dimora and Russo about taking bribes and presents from other businesses and officials. By doing things like this, the mayor is not benefiting anyone else but himself. He is taking gifts from others who may be potential business partners, but he shouldn’t have to take gifts in order to keep them close. In my opinion, I am unsure as to how Locke would look at this situation. On one side, he could say that the mayor isn’t doing anything wrong, because he is not hurting anyone and he is still doing his job by taking care of the citizens of his city. On the other hand, he is trying to benefit himself by accepting gifts he shouldn’t be and that the citizens have the right to say how they feel or the right to know what is going on.
Second situation, I can definitely see where the professor is coming from. Curriculum doesn’t change every single year, only when there is a new book to come out or to expand, etc. but none the less it stays the same more often than not. I don’t think she is necessarily trying to benefit herself, although I do know how hard it is to work full time and pursue higher education. It is very time consuming and can cause a lot of stress. If the students were complaining, and felt that they were being cheated, I could see her changing things around to challenge them, but they also have to be able to trust the students to not cheat off of previous students. I think that Locke would agree with my view, especially because a classroom is like a city and that the teacher is the leader (mayor in a way/government) and the students are the people and if they didn’t agree with what the professor was doing or thought that things needed to change, that they have the right to speak up and request that things be changed for the better.

Third situation, I have seen on a personal level and having children is not always the answer. The couple in this

    There are four significant elements of financial management, “There are four basic financial statements. You can think of them as a set. They include the balance sheet, the statement of revenue and expense, the statement of fund balance or net worth, and the statement of cash flows.” (Baker & Baker, Chapter 4, 2011). Financial manager need to have a balance sheet to review or perform an audit so they can see the debt to income ratio for the organization they are financially responsible for. The statement of revenue and expense provide a clear financial outlook of the organizations financial situation during certain time periods. The significance of the statement of fund balance or net worth is to identify cash and property assets of the organization within a year or other period of time.

    EST1 Task 1 Ethics

    Company Q is a small grocery store chain working on being profitable in a large city. Company Q had a couple of stores that were not profitable and were in an area rated for higher crime, so they chose to close these two stores. The social responsibility choice by Company Q was abatement, choosing to remove the stores from the negative environment (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2008). Company Q has by request, been offering high margin items, specifically organic products which are considered a health conscious choice for customers concerned with the environment. These items have to be fresh and being perishable after being displayed for the day result in discarding or wasting by throwing the food away, which is of concern to the community. The community has a food bank which asked for donations of this organic food hoping to help those in need, but Company Q turned them down and showed no real interest in helping the community with the excuse for concern over possible fraud or employees stealing the food that was claimed to be for donation. The social responsibility for helping those in need is being avoided by Company Q simply because they claim concern over fraud by employees. This choice by Company Q may give them a negative reputation for the community (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2008). Job seekers may not want to work for Company Q if they see it as not being socially responsible and the possibility of being stereotyped as a possible thief just because you work for Company Q. The employees may have lower morale because of the negative reputation and disgust towards management for the lack of trust as an excuse for being socially irresponsible towards those in need. This choice may also cause a drop in current shoppers and a choice by possible new shoppers to choose to shop elsewhere.…

    Ethics Final Super Fresh

    Whole Foods is the leading distributor of organic produce in the United States. Whole Foods also is leading the “labeling war” on genetically modified food being sold grocery stores. Whole Foods is trying to become a “game changer” by becoming the first store in the United States to require labeling of the genetically modified produce sold in its stores. President of Whole Foods A.C Gallo commented that “some of our manufactures say they’ve seen a 15 percent increase in sales of products they have labeled”. Those who support the movement in labeling if the food is genetically modified or organic feel that “consumers have a right to know about the ingredients in the food they eat”. However, those against labeling food “feel that labels could mislead consumers into believing that these food products are different or provide a potential risk”. Labeling foods that are genetically modified or not, seems to be the wave of the future. In a recent poll conducted by the Mellman Group last year, resulted stating that over ninety percent of the respondents were in favor of labeling food. Super Fresh should support the movement of labeling genetically modified foods because, it is their ethical responsibility to inform the public what Super Fresh is selling to its customers, supporting the movement will also affect the farmers by producing less genetically modified food and more organic food, given that the sales of organic food will increase, because the public is more informed about the topic, and lastly, looking at the community, including small restaurants will be pressured into labeling as well, and pressured into serving non-genetically modified options.…

    The point of learning is to acquire better ways of coping with the world, better ways for the world as it is” (Roth 88). His points relate back to what Kent believes strongly about. She follows exactly what James is saying. Kent is having strict rules and setting higher standards in her classroom because she wants her students to be able to cope better in the world.

    Ethics 101 Final

    1. When discussing stereotypes and race, it is important to recognize how insignificant skin color is. Racism itself if focused mainly on cultural states, and more times than not, whites are considered culturally superior to people of color. The treatment of African Americans and Native Americans in American culture perfectly demonstrate how oppositional dichotomies of race define racial stereotypes. Cultural dominance was set since the first settlers began to participate in the slave trade. While the black slaves looked very different than their white counterparts, it was the culture of these Africans that subjected them to discrimination. Slave owners believed their culture was superior, meaning they could rape, enslave, and hold their workers prisoner without punishment. Blacks continue to be mistreated by the whites in power till this day, whether it be profiling by authorities leading to massive incarceration rates or poor representation by the federal government. Whites also believed they were culturally superior to Native Americans. Many Native Americans showed hospitality to the white settlers, but the major cultural differenced ended up destroying rel3ations and the majority of Native peoples. Only the naïve can believe that racism and stereotypes are caused by the color of one’s skin, it is cultural differences that cause the oppositional dichotomies that define race.…

    The College Fear Factor Analysis

    I believe in most of everything they same with the student teacher bond. But, while i think teachers have a role in that you must also know that not every teacher will make that effort to create that bond. And that where Cox says that you must never give up and push through the fear and anxiety if you truly wish to succeed. I think reforms are needed about teachers teaching a certain rhetoric and nothing else. It greatly hurts the students natural creativity and takes away a lot of real human interaction. The classes i've had the most success in with college are the ones where it is very open. No one is afraid to share opinions and our professors are seen as the same level as us. They not only teach us but learn with us on our way to successfully passing their…

    A recession is caused by many different factors, not just one. It is the coming together of many different problems, all at one time. Some factors that contributed to this last Great Recession include consumer indebtedness, income inequality, lax regulations and the housing bubble. In this paper we will discuss how the Housing Bubble exacerbated and what is its link to the Great Recession. It is necessary to note that because the bursting continues and because lessons have not been learned from previous recessions, nor this one, the problem may remain for a while, fueling this recession further.…

    Ethics

    An ethical dilemma exists when the right thing to do is not clear or when members of the health care team cannot agree on the right thing to do (Potter, Perry, Stockert, & Hall, 2011). S.Z. is a 65-year-old Hispanic man who was admitted to the hospital for the third time in 6 months, for hyperglycemia. He is now scheduled to be discharged but his daughter pleads with the nurse that she does not want her father discharged because he is non-complaint with his medications and diet at home. She says she has small children at home and can’t be responsible for him, too. She is worried sick that he is doing this on purpose because he has been so depressed since her mother, who did everything for him, passed away. She says that her father has been seeing a curanderos, who treats him with traditional methods and that he refuses to take his medicine and only follows what the curanderos tells him to do. She does not agree with this and confides that she hopes to find a way to prevent her father from seeing this person and wants to know if the nurse can have her father’s discharge canceled and to ask the doctor to admit him to a nursing home where they can ensure he eats right and takes his medicine and not the herbs he has been using. Then she pleads, “Please just tell the doctor he won’t take his medicine.” Many years ago he was diagnosed with Diabetes Mellitus Type II and has been on insulin for two years. His blood sugar on admission was 589. He is retired and was widowed one year ago. He’s active in his church, gardens, and likes to work on small projects around the house. His medical history includes Diabetes Mellitus Type II, insulin dependent, Hyperlipidemia, and Osteoarthritis.…

    ethics

    Most professional healthcare organizations have defined a mission statement, a code of ethics, and core values. These three documents must be agreement with each other and work together to define the organization. A mission statement communicates the overall purpose of the organization, and uses concepts such as philosophy or distinctive factors (Babnik, Breznik, & Dermol, 2014). A code of ethics is defined as “one of the characteristics of a profession. It is defined by the profession through the professional association and serves to inform members of that profession and society about the profession’s expectations in ethical matters” (Kikuchi, 2005). Finally, core values are the chosen principles or virtues on which importance is placed (Fremgen, 2009). Here we will discuss these aspects of the American Nurses Association (ANA), as well as the relationship between the organizations goals, social responsibility, and the congruence between the ethical values and those of the professionals who belong to the organization.…
