Ethical Considerations for the Use of Technology to Meet Selected Homeland Security Objectives
Introduction
The Digital Age has transformed the way the world works for better or worse. Technology exists to bring down nations’ infrastructures without ever firing a missile (Ten, Manimaran & Liu, 2010). New technology has been developed that can allow agencies to spy, snoop, monitor, and retrieve conversations had online, through email, on cell phones, or via text messaging. To meet security needs, using this technology has very real and practical advantages. At the same time, there… Continue Reading...
Pharmacy Ethics
The author of this report has been asked to review the legal and ethical considerations in play given the test case scenario surrounding Pharmacare and Compcare. As is quickly apparent while reading the case study, the company engaged in a long and extensive list of ethical and/or legal violations as a means to maximize profit and minimize the legal and other red tape that seems to bother them even though it is there for a very good reason. The ethical issues involved will be touched upon and analyzed. There will also be an exploration and analysis of direct-to-consumer marketing of drugs, whether John… Continue Reading...
and healthcare providers (Watts, 2013). However, social workers are faced with ethical considerations in palliative care when creating family and social support networks for elderly individuals facing the end of their lives. Ethical dilemmas in this situation emerge from cultural and community differences because talking about death is a taboo in many cultures. Additionally, the complex ethical dilemmas that are important considerations in palliative and hospice care are attributed to the fact that the creation of social support networks has personal and community elements. As a result, social workers should undertake several measures to address these ethical dilemmas and help create… Continue Reading...
likely that the child would have developed long-term psychological damage as a result of this, the ethical considerations of today's American Psychological Association would not permit such chances to be taken with a human life. Indeed, both legislation and an ethical code of conduct exist to prevent such possibilities from occurring. As Vollmann and Winau (1996) note, the study lacked "informed consent" -- a permission that the subject must give to the researcher before experimentation can be conducted (i.e., the subject must be informed about what he or she is to be tested on). In this case, the subject had no sense of the test. The… Continue Reading...
unsound research in order to examine complex issues, ethics has become an important issue in criminal justice research. Ethical considerations have become crucial in criminal justice research because most of the experiments carried out in this field involve human subjects. Consequently, ethical research is this field is defined and governed by certain principles relating to handling human subjects in experiments. These principles include informed consent and confidentiality, which are considered necessary for protection of researchers and helpless subjects (Jones, 2012). With regards to confidentiality, criminal justice researchers are ethically obligated to safeguard their data from any use against the participants in court proceedings. In relation to informed consent,… Continue Reading...
and IAA capabilities is not just carried out randomly but is constrained by laws, policies, doctrine and ethical considerations. Doctrine enables the DOD in the planning and execution of operations. The policy which constitutes regulations and executive orders limit the department to operate within the homeland. The law provides narrow guidelines which regulate the way the department of homeland security is operated within the United States. Moreover, privacy concerns are what pose ethical barriers which have to be put into considerations by the department while utilizing the IAA and the ISR capabilities (Cannon, 2011). The Military has to be considerate…[…… parts of this paper are missing, click… Continue Reading...

Ethical considerations that apply to this population include the need to identify local values and find ways to align them with public health policy so that this community is better supported. Another consideration that should be made is the problem of fragmentation among the community: many low… Continue Reading...

Some of the ethical considerations to protect the reporter would be; confidentiality, informed consent, anonymity, reducing risk of harm and providing the right to withdraw. Bias can be reduced in the decision making process through; obtaining a clear criteria in decision-making, holding decision-makers accountable, surveying employees’ confidentiality, rewarding employees and being transparent (Heit, et al., 2010).

Ethical Considerations
A few expected and extensively recognized principles of ethical conduct include:
Harmlessness and voluntary participation. Study subjects need to understand the fact that their participation is voluntary, their non- engagement or engagement has no harmful consequences, and they are free to stop participating in the research at any stage of the project if they desire with no unfavorable consequence (Bhattacherjee, 2012).
When instructors require their pupils to answer any questionnaire and state that participation in the survey research is purely voluntary, pupils need to have no fear and… Continue Reading...
Ethical considerations include the very real risk that even when R2P appears justified, “humanitarian intervention has negative consequences which overrule its noble intentions” (Welsch, 2003, p. 8)—case in point being the situation of Libya today now serving as a failed state following the Western campaign to end the reign of Gaddafi. Would it be possible to reduce these costs by addressing this issue? Of course. Would there be a cost involved in addressing the issue? Almost certainly. There would be tremendous pushback from the Israeli lobby and those who work… Continue Reading...
American military action in the southern hemisphere. There are, of course, ethical considerations to be made when considering the R2P doctrine that proponents of the doctrine would rather not be discussed: these include the very real risk that even when R2P appears justified, “humanitarian intervention has negative consequences which overrule its noble intentions”[footnoteRef:4]—case in point being the situation of Libya today now serving as a failed state following the Western campaign to end the reign of Gaddafi.

The second characteristic is that narrative research comes with a range of ethical considerations that are unique; apart from the ones that are linked with qualitative research; anonymity in particular, as a tradition, because of the amount of personal and contextual detail. The manner in which the words of the participants in research and the… Continue Reading...
