Introduction
My paper will show the ethical value in making a decision, right or wrong, that the ultimate result is, I’ll say money. This paper illustrates my opinion in why Harry Stonecipher should have been forced to resign, to save the company name so to say. I’ll talk about the utilitarian and deontological considerations for both parties involved and explain why this decision must have been hard to make.
Should Stonecipher have been forced to resign?
Harry Stonecipher in all reality should be forced to resign. The fact that he’s in a position of this magnitude which affects, perhaps most people who fly commercially on airplanes, can be ethically challenged. As a flyer myself, I would have to say that if my boss was having an affair with co-worker or anyone for that matter, would build an integrity problem in my mind. With leadership integrity issues, this can create dissention in the ranks if you may, as this can be a contagious problem, monkey see monkey do attitude. Now, being that the Stonecipher was forced to resign because of an affair will set precedence in the work environment, quick and decisive punishment that is infused within the workforce that in the long run will likely encourage ethical decisions. When people are forced to see the light, in this case, this forces deeper thinking on what is right and wrong for each individual. This domino effect, as I will call it, catches on and therefore promotes people to think more ethically and make decisions that would better the company in the long run. Here are a few examples of what could happen. Say John, a maintenance worker, is out fixing one of Boeing’s airplanes, he decides that an inspection that is due is too hard to get to, so he signs off the inspection anyway knowing it’s probably good given the trend of the inspection but he doesn’t know 100% that it is good, but given the recent scandal that the President can get away with his affair John should be able to do so also. The plane eventually crashes because this part was not replaced when John should have inspected it. Now given, that the real action Stonecipher received I believe that John would have thought through his actions, being that his job would be on the line, and would have physically inspected and replaced the part that caused the jet to crash.
How do we make ethical decision-making when to help clients with their ethical dilemmas without going against the ACA code of ethic. As a counselor, you have to make sure you don 't oppose your moral and value, toward the clients it best that both your client and you work together to make the decision together where it is the client thought, and you support their opinion.
The author felt that Boeing is plagued by bad company norms. Previous CEOs were people with low ethical sensitivity who had not been leading by example. Stonecipher committed an ethical lapse by having a relationship with an employee while Philip and Stonecipher travelled in luxurious business jet with personal handlers. Subconsciously, they were conveying a message across the company: Boeing tolerates ethical lapse; power and privileges are entitlements for higher ranking staff. McNerney agrees that bureaucracy has given higher ranking staff too much autonomy such that breaching ethical codes can be overlooked since little or none in the company can penalize them.

On April 24th, 2014, one simple recording released by TMZ made Donald Sterling, owner of the NBA’s Los Angeles Clippers, the most hated man in America. In this recording, Sterling ranted over the fact how he did not want V. Stiviano, his partner, to be affiliated with any African Americans. As a result of his racist statements, fans, athletes, and sports organizations/members, voiced their opinions on the matter, flourishing social media. Many star players such as LeBron James, Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson, and a majority the Clippers players acknowledged that something had to be done, and that the NBA is no place for racism. In the end, after team owners took a vote, NBA commissioner Adam Silver held a press conference enlightening the public
Making the moral right decision is never seen on paper. What could be seen as the right thing to do, may not be the right thing for other people. Also, making decisions and then having to face them later on, can impose a difficult problem for many people. Many of us have made a decision that we end up regretting later on. In the healthcare field, decision making could be life and death of a patient
The purpose of this paper will be to identify and describe ethical tactics used in the Jeanne Lewis case. The writer will also discuss Jeanne Lewis's ethical behavior in light of her decision to work with her employees until she was confident in the strength of her team.
According to Gabriel (2016), fact sheet emphasised that ethical decision making model is most commonly used in counselling and by physiotherapists rather than in clinical practice setting, which also requires evidence based, logical, reasoned and informed approaches to practice issues and professional ethics. Bond (2015) argues that there being many codes of ethics within the process, which may be conflicting, however the ethical decision making model could also contradict with the organisation regulations. Having said that if the MDTs had discharged Sam following his choice and views to be discharged home and the demand from the bed management team needing a bed and something happens to him, the local trust would be condemned and accused of lacking to follow the policy, legislations and the guidelines within the organisation regarding discharges.
When I was working as a Customer Service Representative in the Bank, one of my responsibilities was to supervise the tellers. I was friends with two of the tellers working there at the time. We used to go out together outside of work and had great time. At some point I started noticing that they are being too friendly with each other and acting inappropriate for a professional environment. I decided to confront them and they confessed to me that they were dating. That is when I realized that I was faced with an ethical dilemma.
Workplace ethics engages in judgements and collective agreements regarding a suitable guide of behaviour. The ethical decision making framework (EDM) presents, business decision is ethical or unethical.EDM provides an indication of traditional decision making process and issues that manipulate ethical decisions. Employees tend to fraud because they can experience the unfair treatments or situation that they face. Manages may ask employee to work long hours, and then they can take additional time off. Good performance leads to remunerations and appreciation managers than workers.
We have one resident in the long-term facility who has stage four cancer of spinal cord and he has been suffering from intense pain. Every time when I enter his room, he cries and implore to the god that he can minimize his suffering. He has prescription of hydromorphone 8 mg every 4 hourly PRN , oxycodone 5 mg every 6 hourly and 50 mcg of fentanyl path change every 3rd day. After giving all scheduled and PRN medicine his pain level remains same as before. When I see that patients I feel like to give highest dose of medicine as well as alternative pain management therapy so that he can have some comfort but ethically I have no right to do that. He is hospice but he has no comfort at all. Following are the nine steps of Uustal ethical decision making model.
In the profession of Dental Hygiene, ethical dilemmas are nearly impossible to avoid, and most hygienists at some point in their professional life will have to face and answer ethical questions. Some ethical conflicts the dental hygienist may encounter can be quite complex and an obvious answer may not be readily available. In the article Ethical Decision Making, Phyllis Beemsterboer suggests an ethical decision-making model can aide the dental hygienist in making appropriate decisions when confronted with an ethical situation, and that the six-step model can serve dental hygienists in making the most advantageous ethical decision (2010).
When you accept familiar clientele, you accept not being able to break confidentiality and possibly tarnishing your familial ties. Family and friends expect more of you than your clients who do not know you outside of the room. Friends and family do not expect to have boundaries even if they become your patients, which brings me to my next point: boundaries in forensic psychology.
Many ethical dilemmas are philosophical in nature, an ethical issue can be described as a problem with no clear resolution. In order to solve the issue or dilemma a consensus between the parties involved must be reached. There are several reasons to come to an agreement over an ethical dilemma, it is the basis for all aspects of personal and professional dealings. Each one of us is part of a civilized society and as such it is our responsibility to be rational, honest and loyal in our dealings with others. (Alakavuklar, 2012) states that individuals make decisions for different situations in business life involving various ethical dilemmas. Each time either consciously or unconsciously individuals may follow some ethical approaches
The field of ethics (or moral philosophy) involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong behavior (Fieser, 2009). Many of the decisions one faces in a typical day could result in a multitude of outcomes. At times it can be hard to determine whether or not the decision you are making is an ethical one. Many philosophies have been devised to illustrate the different ways of evaluating moral decisions. Normative ethics focuses on assessing right and wrong behavior. This may involve reinforcing positive habits, duties we should follow, or the consequences of our behavior (Fieser, 2009). Of the many normative philosophies two stand out to be most accepted; teleology and deontology. Although they oppose each other in how actions are evaluated, they uphold many similar characteristics under the surface.
Introduction Generally, ethics is defined as standards of performance that explain how human beings should opt to react during many circumstances in which they meet with friends, citizens, parents, teachers, children, professionals, and businesspeople, among others. However, ethics is different from feelings, as feelings make significant information’s available for our ethical preferences. Although some people possess highly mature behaviors that cause them to feel awful when they get involved in the wrongdoings, most of the people normally enjoy doing bad things. Ethical decision-making And frequently people will feel uncomfortable when they are mandated to make difficult decisions.
