The role of ethics and social responsibility aids organizations in developing a strong strategic plan, while addressing the needs of stakeholders. Ethics and social responsibility require social awareness to address the needs of the environment and to increase the knowledge of employees, which will lead to a corporation focused on supplying the customer with what is needed, managers equipped with solid decision-making abilities, and employees who believe that he or she are an asset to the business. It is the executive manager’s responsibility to establish a clear vision for the corporation and place a specific focus on understanding stakeholder’s needs. In an effort to support

The Damon Investment Company manages a mutual fund composed mostly of speculative stocks. You recently saw an ad claiming that investments in the funds have been earning a rate of return of 21%. This rate seemed quite high so you called a friend who works for one of Damon’s competitors. The friend told you that the 21% return figure was determined by dividing the two-year appreciation on investments in the fund by the average investment. In other words, $100 invested in the fund two years ago would have grown to $121 ($21 ÷ $100 = 21%).

This week’s Discussion topic is BYP7-7, Ethics Case, on page 330 of your textbook which reads as follows:

This week I went out on the field with a couple of case workers. The caseworkers needed help with detaining children, and putting them in an out of home placement shelter. Caseworkers were asking people, mainly interns to help them with their case. The intake caseworkers had an ethical reason, as to why they wanted an additional caseworker accompanying them. One caseworker did not want to transport a child in her car, because of what the child did to his sibling to be placed out of the home. The other caseworker ethically did not want transport a teenage boy in her car. OCY’s policies says if we are transporting a caseworker who is of a different gender, they are to ask a caseworker who fits the clients gender to go out on the field with them and detain the child. Both times transporting the youths to placement was a success.

I feel it is a person’s choice and it is different than suicide. It has to be well thought out and talked about with a team of people involved including physicians, psychologists, and family. I also think it is based more on

Nurses are faced with ethical issues and dilemmas on a regular basis. Nurses must understand his or her values and morals to be able to deal adequately with the ethical issues he or she is faced with. Some ethical issues nurses are exposed to may be more difficult than others and the ethical decision making process is learned over time.

Three ethics related situations as given in the question are discussed and evaluated based upon John Locke's view along with an analysis of if my personal view would be the same or different from John Locke. As per Week 3 lecture, John Locke concept of a State of Nature was that of perfect freedom in which people naturally cooperated for the common good, enjoyed personal rights, and honored the rights of each other living together as long as people did not encroach upon other people’s rights or their possessions.

How would you feel if you went to the hospital and the staff treated you differently because of the way you looked or your social status? The phrase "everyone should be treated equally" is often easier said than done. Especially in the healthcare field, this is often a topic of interest. Healthcare providers are suppose to treat every patient that enters the hospital the same no matter the patient 's race, religion, social class, and ethnical background. However, there are often many variables that hinder physicians from treating every patient the same such as legal factors and sometimes personal biases.

In the automobile market today, many manufacturers try to maintain a competitive edge in the industry. Volkswagen is one such manufacturer. One of its engineers in Germany, James Robert Laing, was tasked with a group of engineers in 2006 to create and design a “‘clean diesel’ engine” (Chappell 2016) that followed the new increased limitations in the United States emissions standards. This team quickly realized that following these standards was not possible while still designing a commercially competitive vehicle. Thus, Liang and the other engineers decided to instead, create a software program that would fool the emissions standards tests, in other words, the software would recognize when the vehicle was being tested, and produce less emissions

The ability for a patient to choose or refuse their healthcare procedures is a common concept that is rarely argued against. The US Constitution protects liberty rights and they are believed to be common law rights. However, in certain circumstances, those rights can be negotiable especially when an individuals’ religious beliefs interferes with a healthcare provider’s ability to implement proper treatment and advocacy for vulnerable patients. Jehovah’s witness’ are a clear example where religious beliefs interfere with appropriate and adequate healthcare from doctors and nurses. This is because their beliefs are often in stark contrast with a doctor or nurses’ obligations as a healthcare provider (Henderson, 2005). An ethical and legal dilemma is created when a Jehovah’s witness refusal for blood transfusions puts a patient’s freedom and autonomy regarding medical intervention against a nurse or doctor’s duty to provide lifesaving treatment. This ethical dilemma affects nursing because it places the nurse in a difficult situation where they must knowingly respect all individual religious beliefs even if it means a refusal of blood that puts the patient at a higher risk for mortality. (McCormick, 2008).

Ethical Dilemmas are a pressing issue within any law enforcement or law agency the power that people have in positions such as these force them to share an equal or greater amount of reasonability. Ethics is defined as “the branch of philosophy that typically deals with values relating to human conduct with respect to the rightness and wrongness of certain actions and to the goodness and badness of the motives and ends of such actions”. This definition of ethics courtesy of Webster dictionary shows just how complex the intricacies of ethics are and how major dilemmas might negatively impact departments for instances lawyers are plagued with ethical dilemmas on a day to day basis such as Lawyer advocacy, conflict of interest, Professional

In this paper I am going to identify some the legal and ethical issues in My Sister’s Keeper. Some of those issues include emancipation of a minor, genetic engineering, and limited termination of parental rights. I will be giving my opinion on these matters also.

The auditor that sanctioned the IPO ought to have known that under reinsurance accounting, losses incurred by ceded business should be recorded by the ceding insurer as an offset to the increase in its gross loss reserve in a amount equal to the reinsurance it expects to recover from the insurer yet in Converium's IPO prospectus Zurich Re purchased reinsurance from Inter-Ocean and ceded these liabilities to a Zurich entity. Had the auditing firm done its job perfectly it would have realized that Converium had violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5 by knowingly and recklessly making false and misleading statements in the events leading to the IPO. In the process of conducting the audit the auditing firm should have realized that Converium understated its pre-tax losses for the previous year before the IPO was conducted.
