An example of a contemporary ethical issue is Ford Motor Company is an organization that has existed for well over a century. The company has, since its inception, endeavored to manufacture high-quality and safe vehicles. However, between the early 1970s and the late 1980s, Ford dealt with a serious safety scandal involving its Ford Pinto (The Spokesman-Review, 2008).

DISCUSSION QUESTION :Applied Ethics: Political Perk?.

Read the following ethical dilemma from the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics:

Should the mayor accept “political perks” as part of his job? Nadler, Judy, “Political Perk or Part of the Job?” Markkula Center for Applied Ethics (2006)

How does Egoism and Social Contract Theory help us make sense of Mayor Gibson’s ethical dilemma? What unwritten “contract” does a politician have with her constituents that affects her ethical behavior? Use your understanding of the readings, your own experiences and ethical reasoning to make your argument. Make sure to address possible objections to your argument. Required reading is att

Answer preview

Ethical egoism explains that one’s interests must be in accord with morality. It also explains that one acts morally upright if one promotes their best interests. Based on our case study, it is clear that Mayor Gibson is acting according to ethical egoism. The Mayor’s interest is to treat all community members equally without any favors or discrimination (Smith, Adam, 1759). The dilemma comes because the Mayor wants to act morally by adhering to his moral codes. Egoist suggests that all behaviors are motivated by one’s self-interests. Therefore, it is clear that the Mayor’s self-interest is to keep his office clean, and that’s why he is in a dilemma on whether to accept the VIP ticket or decline it.

Ethical Issues Regarding Abortion

/in /by

Prompt and Instructions:

Requirements: 300 words

Answer preview

The information presented in the text has challenged me, posing to ask why a law would force a pregnant mother to keep a pregnancy resulting from rape and end up mistreating the baby throughout its development when they remember the ordeal? I believe pregnancy should be wanted, and every baby deserves to be valued, loved, and nurtured before and after birth. As the Bible states in John 1:14, the Church and the believers should embrace grace and truth to see the glory of God, meaning that they must live in an atmosphere of true love and grace-filled. While not condoning abortion procured with unsound reasons, I believe that the ethics of the Sabbath encourages Christians to love and support everyone, including pregnant women who decide to abort, on rational grounds. Hence, an ideal approach that would ensure that believers keep the ethics of the Sabbath would focus on encouraging them to visit such women and give them spiritual and emotional support. Such measures would help these women to regain strength and self-value.

Answer preview

As a high school social studies teacher, one of my students approached me and pointed out that one of the other students in the class has been sending him pornographic photographs and threatening emails when undertaking a class group project. As an educator, the NEA code of ethics requires me to strive to assist all students in realizing their potential as effective and valuable members of society (NEA, 2020). To meet this obligation, I have to make all reasonable efforts to protect my students from harmful conditions that might impede their learning or those threatening their health and safety (NEA, 2020). Sending threatening emails and sharing unsolicited pornographic photos is tantamount to cyberbullying.

Answer preview

The concept of patients having an ethical responsibility to help with the enhancement of healthcare is gaining popularity, especially during EBQI research. Even though this school of thought might be right to some extent, the concept conflicts with one major ethical principle. The first principle is autonomy. As mentioned in the previous part of the paper, this principle requires health care professionals to respect their patients’ right to make decisions relating to their health and well-being (Kemparaj & Kadalur, 2018). One of the ways this principle might conflict with a patient’s responsibility to help with the enhancement of healthcare is when a patient is placed in mandatory quarantine. For instance, during the initial days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when an individual tested positive for the virus, they were expected to enter into mandatory quarantine to prevent them from spreading the virus to others. In such a case, the patient’s right to determine what should happen to them and their health is taken away from them in favor of protecting the general population (Kemparaj & Kadalur, 2018). To resolve this conflict, health care

Refusing to take the Bangladesh offer cost our company money as the profit margins were small. However, given a chance again, I would still take the opportunity but report the company to the local authorities for them to adhere to ethical principles. I agree with the way George handled his dilemma by accepting to retain the company in Hondo and run it at night to avoid EPA testing (Lefkowitz, 2021). That is because moving the firm to Mexico would have cost a lot of people income, including his family. Also, moving the plant would cause more pollution to the people of Mexico and Hondo. Therefore, it was better to retain the plant in Hondo and reduce air pollution in Mexico until they get money to buy new scrubbers.

Communication is a vital component of shared medical decision-making between health care professionals and patients. By effectively communicating with each other, health care professionals and patients will make better decisions for the care of their patients (Arnold & Boggs, 2019). Due to this, patients’ outcomes and satisfaction levels will rise. Communication between Dr. Kerr and the Smiths happened via face-to-face interaction. During this interaction, Dr. Kerr listened attentively to the Smiths as they presented the research they collected on the potential adverse outcomes associated with vaccination. By actively listening to them, Dr. Kerr could correctly identify their concerns about vaccination and respond to them (Arnold & Boggs, 2019). When responding to the Smiths, Dr. Kerr expressed some empathy by acknowledging that vaccinations have recently caused immense controversy.

He used the ring’s magic to seduce the queen, who falls into the trap and helps him eliminate the king, thus taking over the kingdom. Gyges felt that he was protected by the ring and could commit any unjust act since the ring made him invisible (Mishra & Sundeep, 294). He says that if people were given the ability to do anything with no consequences, then everybody would choose to be unjust and commit wrongful acts for their selfish desires and would not care if they are being just or unjust.

Plato views human nature as having the ability to apply our reasoning in our actions, thus overcoming appetite and desires while making rational decisions. He uses an illustration of a thirsty man to describe his concept of human nature, where the thirsty man is offered poisonous water but decides not to take it because he would die, thus controlling his desire for water. Therefore, Plato views man as a rational being who can make decisions that would achieve long-

The two traditions are one of the major religions in China, which have had a significant impact on the culture of the Chinese. Confucianism and Buddhism both have teachings that aim at reaching ultimate harmony and helping everyone to live ethically (Tceluiko, 2019). Both encourage their followers to learn from one another by questioning what they are taught. The two religions allow their followers to practice other religions so that they may discover the truth by themselves without trusting what is told to be true.

The difference between the two is that Buddhism’s main goal is for the society to attain enlightenment and detach themselves from the cycle of rebirth and death, thus attaining Nirvana. On the contrary, Confucianism’s primary goal is for people to have a structured society. Another key difference is that in Buddhism teachings, the only way for people to escape suffering is by practicing the Eightfold path (Tceluiko, 2019). On the contrary, Confucianism stresses creating brotherhood in humanity and helping one another.
