I believe that is best for all of those involved to deal with ethical transgressions behind the scenes and not in the presence of others. Often times penalizing someone in front of fellow employees can escalate the situation further. Honestly, if it does reach that point, it’s a situation where no one wins. I know in my organization it is dealt with discreetly and then the situation, not the person, may be addressed at the following meeting if our supervisor feels that others need to be aware of what is or is not appropriate. These types of open discussion can lead to better ethical decisions in the future (Ferrell, Fraedrich, & Ferrell, 2013). I try to look at it from both sides, I don’t want to be scolded in front of other and an example

Deborah, worked as a bar tender in Ajax, Ontario. The sixty-six year-old owner began to show interest quickly and sexual advances began. Deborah was frequently asked on dates, slapped on her bottom, and received unwelcoming comments about her body. As the advances continued, the owner began to describe what he would sexually do to her, such as to “bend her over the pool table and smack her bare ass” (Hunter 2014). Deborah was fired after testifying to the sexual harassment charges. After, the bar owner delivered letters to Deborah’s home that said how he wished they could have had a relationship. This directly violates principle eight of ethical conduct as the owner did not act appropriately when
Choice 2: A married couple, both addicted to drugs, are unable to care for their infant daughter. She is taken from them by court order and placed in a foster home. The years pass. She comes to regard her foster parents as her real parents. They love her as they would their own daughter. When the child is 9 years old, the natural parents, rehabilitated from drugs, begin court action to regain custody. The case is decided in their favor. The child is returned to them, against her will. Does ethics support the law in this case? Discuss.
The ethical dilemma that I intend to analyze in this paper is, whether the right to free speech and expression which fall under the broader head of individual rights should be absolute or should there be censorship over the rights for the overall harmony/good of the society? My task here is to lay out the ethical theories under which the above stated issue can be evaluated. The three main types of moral codes are Egoism, Altruism and Cynical Exploitation. This discussion will regard the egoist theory, altruism theory and cynical exploitation in evaluating the dilemma.
The ethical violation in this scenario is valuing crime over education. The dilemma is not with the prison system itself, but rather the funding cuts towards education resulting in an increased demand for prison funding. I lived in the Tucson area for more than half of my life. Among the schools in Tucson, programs, such as the fine arts electives, student run clubs, school sports, and foreign language classes, were continuously cut due to the lack of funding in the Tucson Unified School District. By reason of not being able to provide students with an adequate learning experience, schools were compelled to shut down. During my time in Tucson, my own elementary school was shut down because of inadequate amount of funding to keep the school

It is not uncommon to find some type of corruption within law enforcement agencies if you dig deep enough. However, once discovered there must be a disciplinary measure that is taken to prevent further corruption. Ethical complaints can be filed by following the appropriate processes and procedures. Although policies vary from department to department, there is a specific code of ethics that each department functions by following.
Throughout the history of the humanity, values and morals have constantly changed, as each culture has its own concepts of good and evil. For example, a man commits a felony if he has more than one wife at a time, but in some regions and cultures of the world, polygamy is viewed favorably. However, there are a number of ethical values that are almost universal. In general, they have been accepted all the times and places. This set of values can be summed up in a single principle or the golden rule: treating others as one would wish to be treated oneself. Although society must respect the golden rule, there are certain cases where selfishness and jealousy reign to the values and morals. In addition, integrity, accountability, and ethical conduct are an important key in the context of health care.
On the other hand although their similarities are close knit; they each have a distinct difference depending on the individual. For instance, recently the complex next door caught fire due to bad wiring. The company put all the tenants up for the weekend because they believed that this is what they ought to do. After the weekend the tenants were told that the situation had been turned over to their insurance company and it was out of their hands. The tenants believe that the company should hold their self-responsible and accommodate them much more.
Individual people are the remedy for ethical misconduct, primarily if we as individuals made a decision that our morals are important and should be guarded from those who would encourage us to “just go along” there would not be as big a need for remedies for ethical misconduct. This course Professional Ethics in Criminal Justice was created to help make us aware that our morals, our values and how we apply them in our careers once we graduate will dictate the kind of career we will have. When we make decisions, we need to go back to the basics that we have learned and apply them each and every time to all situations.
Let’s describe reasons why it is necessary to report ethical misconduct as provided by Mary. First of all, she claims that it is the duty of an employee to talk to a supervisor if he or she witnessed unprofessional behavior. Such conduct negatively impacts professionalism in the workplace, and everyone is entitled to follow an ethical code of the organization, “which promotes ethical behavior in all organizational activities” (Andreoli & Lefkowitz, 2009, p. 309). Secondly, it is necessary to do it because the unethical conduct in the workplace reflects on the organization as a whole, thus creating tensions between employees and mistrust. It even can create a negative impression with clients that
I’d like to point out that ethical violations are relative to the date and location of the ‘violation.” As we have evolved and become responsible for the welfare of the individuals, what’s considered morally correct has evolved. The ethical constraints have increasingly become more stringent over time. People pushing the boundaries of what’s legal often create awareness that results in the establishment of laws intended to protect humanity. Despite the general conscious about human research requiring strict guidelines, it wasn’t until 1947 that ethical guidelines were clearly defined in the Nuremberg Code (Horner, 2011). According to rule 1, “the voluntary consent of the human subject is absolutely essential,” was clearly violated in during
