Being a resident assistant is a tough job. It is a job that has made a stronger and more confident person this past year. It is not a suitable job for students who are afraid of confrontation. There are two types of resident assistants that I have observed. The first type of resident assistant is the one who will give a violation to any resident for the smallest of things. The second type is the one who tries to be friends with everyone and sometimes lets things slide. Finding a balance between the two is somewhat of a rare feat, but can be achieved. There will be times when a resident assistant is required to write someone up whom they consider to be their friend. There is always an ethical choice that comes with autority on whether or not you should turn a person in or to turn a blind eye. This exact sitatution happened with my fellow resident assistant; Kimmy. Resident assistants are required to go on rounds in their assigned dorm buildings around once a week. However, that does not mean that they can't report residents when they are misbehaving at any time during the day. One night when Kimmy was walking down her hallway she noticed that there was a loud commotion going on in one of the rooms on the first floor. Upon knocking on the door Kimmy observed that there were a large amount of people in the room and alcohol was clearly visible. West Chester is a dry campus and because of that no alcohol is allowed anywhere on campus regardless of how old you are. The first step of action is to call public safety since they deal with any alcohol related incidents. Before they come however resident assistants can ask for everyone in the room to present their ID. One of the residents pleaded with Kimmy not to report her or give her a...

...irteen of the article it states that after people heard what Leyla said at the Senate Banking Committee hearing in Baton Rogue they gave her a standing ovation because the hundreds had been a victim of fraud from Stanford(Beautiful Souls). This shows that people appreciate what others sacrifice for justice. Everyone on my staff appreciates what Kimmy did and we are proud of her. If I learned anything from this entire ethical paper it was that we should always care for everyone whether they care for us or not. We should always strive to be the best that we can possibly be and we should try to help as many people as we can. Something though we are put in situations where we must think about ourselves first and foremost. This may sound somewhat selfish but it is true. I feel as though I am better prepared for the day where I have to make an ethical decision like this.
She then immediately follows up with a way to fix it and demand respect. Shes trying to connect with the audience and shows that she has been in the same place, that she can relate. You can see that she has done her research, she uses plenty of statistics to give you a visual of what she is talking about as well as quoting people from organizations and giving them the appropriate credit. She mentions in 2005 at yale, her alma mater, 15 students sat in the admissions office until they were removed by police. These individuals were demanding changes to the financial aid policy. What those student did actually changed the policy and made it easier for families to afford college without heavy loans. This showed others that activists can make a difference, something she presses on in this
There will be an appearance of an investigation, in which those involved will be relieved of all culpability in Sandra’s death. At the end of the day, no one will be held accountable. The reason that I am reaching out through this article is that we, as a race of people, must be willing to step out of our comfort zones and change the status quo. Our natural proclivity will be to protest and sign petitions; however, without economic power to underwrite those petitions and protests, they will have no power — making them tantamount to a collective temper
“Most people in the U.S. want to do the right thing, and they want others to do the right thing. Thus, reputation and trust are important to pretty much everyone individuals and organizations. However, individuals do have different values, attributes, and priorities that guide their decisions and behavior. Taken to an extreme, almost any personal value, attribute, or priority can “cause” an ethical breach (e.g. risk taking, love of money or sta...

...her and the more modern case of Brian Walski demonstrates the importance of ethics in the mass media. With the public dependent on photographers for images that will give an accurate and true representation of the facts, in some cases even leading to such important decisions as giving relief aid, waging war, or determining votes in an election, it is vitally important that journalistic images be true and unaltered likenesses of real persons and events. Even apparently innocent misrepresentations, designed to create a better image or better prove a point, can have serious consequences for the photographer, the subjects of the image, and the public. It is a reminder of the importance of honesty in all professions.
So, over all, this helps you get a better understanding that ethical dilemmas happen for all people, in all walks of life, in many different situations. It shows us we must pay attention to our actions and the actions of others around us. As long as we follow the rules, and ask for a little direction when we don’t know what to do, we will all be better off in our careers as helpers.

Though elderly abuse occurs in many nursing homes, it is preventable. It is the nursing aide 's responsibility to provide quality and comfortable care, free from abuse. Many people are not aware that there are several other types of abuse in addition to physical abuse and many are not aware of the signs. If abuse should occur, anyone who suspects or witnesses the abuse is responsible for reporting it. Knowing the types of abuse, being aware of the signs, and reporting incidents are all ways to prevent abuse in nursing homes.

My ethical dilemma was the choices between stay with my mom, who has breast cancer, and stay in USA and get education. I chose to stay in the states, rather than transfer college in Korea and live with my mom. Some people would think that I am selfish and I had wrong decision. However, through the readings, I learned how can I make ethical decision-making and what should I do to justify my decision.
What experiences have you had which prepare you for this position (e.g perhaps as an employee, leader, or working with people different from yourself, etc)?
I wrongly assumed that we were attending just another alcohol intoxicated patient, so typical of a Saturday night duty. On arrival I had considered scene safety due to the behaviour of the intoxicated male shouting at me, “where have you been?” I felt he tested my communication skills due to his aggressive behaviour, I put this down to the amount of alcohol he had consumed. This proved frustrating at times but I knew I had to diplomatic, as it could have escalated the situation. His body language displayed he did not...
