'Ethical Dilemmas In A Few Good Men'

could do his job to the best of his ability. The question is where his actions unethical? According to the law yes. Code REDs are illegal according to the military law. Was it a wrong choice? It is hard to tell. Jessup is an honorable and respected Colonel, and he might know a thing or two about protecting a country. If his methods were successful, then his arrest will inevitably lead to what he predicted as a “weakened nation.” Utilitarians could argue that the price paid to “train” marines with Code REDs, could be outweighed by the benefits of a safe population and country. He wasn’t worried if the action was just or not, but he was concerned more about the result of having a safe country. That is why he gave the order for the Code RED.

“An ethical dilemma is a situation in which an individual is compelled to choose between two actions that will affect the welfare of a sentient being, and both actions are reasonably justified as being good…” (Butts & Rich, 2016, p. 55). In everyday nursing practice, many nurses are faced with various ethical dilemmas that occur between patients, their family, and healthcare professionals. Many healthcare professionals work on common goals to provide patients with the safest and highest quality care. However, some doctors’ poor or bad orders lead nurses into ethical dilemmas that are not evidence-based practice or are not consistent with the nursing standards of practice. Following the doctor’s order can risk patients’ safety, which also violates ethical principles such as beneficence and nonmaleficence. However, in a clinical environment, nurses’ practices are deeply intertwined with doctors’ practices in the delivery of health care, which requires collaboration in each profession. As a registered nurse, when faced with this situation, I experienced an ethical conflict of what to put first: patient safety or friendly relationships with doctors. The purpose of this paper is to identify ethical dilemmas that can arise between a nurse and a doctor due to a doctor’s poor practices that threaten patients’ well-being and safety. This paper also deals with how to solve this conflict with respect for each other’s professions.

Additionally, during the course of this state of affairs there exist quite a few conflicts arousing throughout the hospital, beginning with the physicians inside our staff and the legal ramifications that are escalating in regarding the changes produced by Ms. Jones. In pursuit of hiring back the head radiologist; there should be a discretionary meeting with both the new chief operating officer and the physicians to air out any grievances that may have transpired regarding any changes. Then once both sides have explained their sides work towards compromising a plan to work together on what we can do to accommodate both and form an agreement. Next I would advise the chief operating officer to gain feedback from the staff and physicians through

Our client, Trisha, is a fitness class instructor at various local gyms. She is not responsible for keeping track of enrollment or for recruiting participants because the gyms do those activities themselves. Trisha is required to teach a minimum number of classes and can give her preferences for teaching those classes at certain times. The gym pays for her monthly license fee and she is also paid monthly for the number of classes she has taught. However, the gym will not pay for her certifications and training required to teach certain fitness classes, thus requiring Trisha to pay for those on her own. She may help train new instructors, but has no supervisory authority and is free to teach her classes the way she wants to. We have been asked to find out whether Trisha is considered an employee of the gyms or an independent contractor as they have different tax treatments.

1) What 2 behaviors does the speaker suggest for dealing with nurse on nurse interactions when correction of actions is needed?

According to Viren Swami, a professor at the University of Westminster, “animal testing, or animal research, refers to the use of animals in experiments within academic, research, or commercial establishments” (Christopher, 269). Sounds simple enough, but Swami does not mention how this testing affects the animals or why this is such a controversial issue among the public. M.J. Prescott, from the National Center for the Replacement, Refinement and Reduction of Animal Research, makes a very good point when he says that:

It is extremely difficult to choose just one ethical issue to reflect on. In society there has always been and will continue to be a multitude of controversial issues to challenge us. What criteria should we use to distinguish right from wrong and where should we search for moral insight, guidance and authority? The New Testament scholar Richard Hays classified our sources as Scripture, tradition, reason and experience. 1. Neil Messer’s text says, “If we are to regard Scripture as a source of moral authority, we shall need to understand these writings in their own contexts.” Richard Hays defines tradition as “the Church’s time-honored practices of worship, services and critical reflection”. Alasdair MacIntyre’s view of reason called the “Enlightenment project” in ethics meant the attempt to justify moral judgements and provide criteria for moral decision making based solely on reasoned argument, without appealing to tradition, received wisdom or external sources of authority, such as the Bible or God’s law. The source of experience can mean a variety of different things from the role of the individual’s conscience in moral decision-making and action to inner conviction in the hearts and minds of believers and Christian

The scenario given in this discussion board is a scenario that district attorneys have to deal with all the time. Unfortunately most victims of crime are unaware of how the actual court system works. Plea agreements are made on majority of cases to keep the court system from backing up. However, the only dealings that most victims are educated on with a court system is through a television program or through a high profile case on the news. Even though the high profile case on the news is an actual court trial though, majority of the time there is a lot of acting among the lawyers and judges because of the profile of the case.

I am a counselor and educator at the Hemophilia Foundation in Chicago, Illinois. I work with individuals and families who are at risk for AIDS and HIV. During my first session with John on Monday, he disclosed his concern that he might have contracted HIV during a blood transfusion. In fact, John agrees the best course of action is to be tested for HIV. On Wednesday, John comes in my office after finding out that he tested positive for HIV. In addition, John would like for me to help break the news of his diagnosis to his girlfriend Sally, and her parents. Unfortunately, I did receive a call from the hospital stating that John is in the ICU with pneumonia and AIDs.

When Sidney Stewart was freed in Manchuria in 1945 after 3 years of imprisonment by the Japanese, the 6’3 American weighed 65 pounds (Goldstein). Stewart was an Army private stationed in Manila in 1942 when they were overpowered by the Japanese. The 21 year-old wasn’t the killing type of soldier. Of course he killed when required, but he wasn’t murderous. He’d been sent to Luzon on the Bataan peninsula after the Japanese invasion and was soon captured after his group surrendered. The deaths began immediately—surrender is not an option to the Japanese who told them “you are not honorable prisoners of war. You are captives and you shall be treated as captives” (Stewart, 84).

One of the most significant and controversial ethical conflicts in this novel occurs in the final section, probing the issue of suicide. A nuclear test has occurred and many people were badly injured by the blasts and radiation. Abbot Zerchi must decide how the church will respond to the affected people. A medical group called Green Star wishes to set up units in the abbey to treat the radiation victims. The church faces a problem because Green Star, in cases where radiation exposure is terminal, recommends that the person go to a mercy camp where euthanasia is administered. The law of the church defines this mercy killing as evil and Zerchi will not allow Green Star to use their courtyard if they will be recommending suicide (Miller 295).

is a debatable topic, but in my opinion, there are good and evil in ethics. As I know, ethics is a common good that people agree to follow. It is hard to define what is right or wrong in some situation, but we often use a term 'unethical' in universal cases. If there is no good and evil in ethics, how can we sort out the cases whether it is ethical or unethical? For this reason, I'm careful to say that ethics is discerned from good and

Ethical dilemmas are presented to humanity often; dilemmas consist of controversial choices, peer pressure, strong opinions of society on both sides, and pull against personal values. However, the knowledge bank that a person has, or is willing to acquire will influence the resolution made. Paul is a young man that has had several accomplishments, including the starting position that he earned by working hard in the weight room and on the field. Although, members of the team have been trying a new performance enhancing drug that has shown remarkable results, is not on the banned drug list yet and does not show up on drug tests.
