designed to "protect" the individual by restricting his or her freedom to act. However, the greater ethical principle of freedom as well as privacy also needs to be respected. Criminalizing drug users by placing them in prison is more unethical than the use of drugs itself, which can be considered a morally neutral act.

Policy is often drafted using general language, so that it can be applied to different situations. Using generalized language allows the policy to cover multiple variables or contingencies. Yet herein lies the weakness with policy -- it is sometimes too vague. Policy cannot possibly encompass all situational… Continue Reading...
Kant insists on the Categorical Imperative. Kant implies that this ethical principle is the superlative and outright and proper test to morality, whereas imperative implies that from time to time one must command oneself to be moral and undertake the right thing, even and particularly when one's self-centeredness may be infringed by acting ethically (Mintz, 2015). As an overall moral rule, for an employer to impose into an employee's private life on social media devoid of consent or in a clandestine or intimidating way would be immoral under Kantian ethics. Employing social media while determining whether to hire or employ… Continue Reading...

Ethical Principle 3 in Standard 3.2 deals with promoting and protecting the wellbeing of health consumers. It requires the health practitioner to respect the rights of the health consumers and their families, especially when it comes to participating in decisions about how they are cared for. The Nursing Council of New Zealand (2012) further emphasizes the need to put into account the priorities, needs and concerns of the health consumer and his family. If the nurse chose not to involve the family in deciding the fate of the Alzheimer patient,… Continue Reading...
dilemmas can be resolved simply. The first bears itself out in what often appear to be glaring violations of every ethical principle and logical construct. Free enterprise has helped to bolster economic growth and development, as well as to empower individuals to innovate and contribute to society. Yet free enterprise has not been truly free, with access to power and resources constrained by factors like race (Kerr & Walsh, 2014), gender (Tufarolo, 2015), and class (Shin, 2014). Of these variables, race and gender remain salient barriers to achieving the full benefits of a genuinely free market economy. Whether a free market economy can ever reflect the ethical norms embedded in… Continue Reading...
should apply the same standard to others with respect to protecting them from harm. The ethical principle that would be most applicable in this case is that of nonmaleficence – which is essentially “an ethical principle that requires caregivers to avoid causing patients harm” (Pozgar, 2019, p. 16). Failure to disclose would be akin to deliberately inflicting harm on another human being – which is hypocritical if one would expect to be shielded from harm in a similar situation.
While the ethical aspect of medication error disclosure has got to do with doing the correct/right thing, the legal aspect of the same involves observation of,… Continue Reading...
accountant at the time, would probably conclude that the management accountant did not compromise in being compliant with the fundamental ethical principles (CIMA, 2018). In accordance to CIMA (2018), when addressing conflicts of interest, encompassing revealing or sharing information within the company or network and looking for assistance from third parties, it is important for the management accountant to continue being attentive to the key principle of confidentiality. What is more, if the threat generated by a conflict of interest is not at an agreeable level, the management accountant is expected to apply precautions to eradicate the threat or mitigate it to an acceptable level. In the event that such… Continue Reading...
for smoking parents in pediatric environments (Ossip, 2013, p.517). Given the health effects of parental smoking on children, public policy is necessary in this area and ethical. Based on the ethical principle of utilitarianism, public policies should be enacted to help protect the health of children while ensuring parents maintain their right to smoke i.e. the greater good for all. Policies in this area enhance the physical, cognitive and psychosocial development of affected children through safeguarding their health and well-being. The efficacy of public policy in comparison to self-enforced restrictions is determined on the basis of the extent of enforcement and the subsequent outcomes with regards to enhancing the health and well-being of affected individuals.

were not explicitly identified and thus did not appear to make any impact on the study itself or its directives. However, one ethical principle that appears to be followed in the study is that identified by Llewellyn, Archibald, Clairmont and Crocker (2013): “the inclusion of dignity requires attention and respect for the diversity of ways of being that become clear when one approaches individuals in all their embedded and relational complexity” (p. 299). This ethical principle helps to ensure that no participants are prejudiced against in a study’s work and that bias is reduced.

ethical principles that should shape a rehabilitation professional’s philosophy toward a client (Beauchamp & Childress, 2001; Flite & Harman, 2013). Beneficence is the main ethical principle and serves as the foundation for the others. It refers to the idea that a professional promotes the well being of others, especially the client, through positive engagement with an eye towards doing no harm.
The ethical principle of autonomy follows, which refers the respect for the autonomy of the client that the professional rehabilitator should have, allowing the client to make his or… Continue Reading...
Ishikawa discusses first the importance of quality control as an ethical principle. Quality control is about respecting the customer, and not sacrificing quality and especially safety in large-scale production facilities. In mass-production methods, it can be too easy to bypass quality control to rush products to market. Ishikawa illustrates why quality control is actually cost-effective and feasible to implement, even if TQC does require some changes to the organizational structure, culture, operations, and production protocols. For instance, Evans (2014) notes that TQC is a “participative” system of quality management (p. 66). Total quality control also helps an organization retain a… Continue Reading...
ethical principles bind individuals to their obligations (Karnik & Kanekar, 2016).
Deontological theories come under the ‘normative theories’ category. They don’t presume any distinct stance on moral epistemology or moral ontology. Deontologists may be presumed to be ethical realists of the non- natural (moral attributes aren’t natural attributes in themselves, despite non- reductively being linked to natural ones) or natural (natural and moral attributes are identical) groups. Or deontologists may be constructivists, conventionalists, divine command theoreticians, expressivists, or transcendentalists when it comes to ethicality’s nature. Similarly, deontologists may claim to… Continue Reading...
almost a century. Studies like the Tuskegee syphilis experiment and other gross violations of ethical principles have called attention to the importance of rigorous standards in the social sciences. Education is not always considered a social science, and yet it is—and one with some of the most significant implications for humanity. As Lopez-Alvarado (2017) points out, education is about empowering individuals and enriching society, not just about teaching specific tasks and processes. Educational research therefore has many meaningful effects and should be taken just as seriously as research in any other applied science. While it is understandable researchers become frustrated with bureaucracy, red tape,… Continue Reading...

Values and Ethical Principles
Ethical principles guide the nursing profession. When nurses actively participate in policy development related to the creation of Healthy Cities/Healthy Communities, they fulfill most of the core ethical objectives of the profession including patient autonomy, beneficence, equity, and social justice. Nurses are committed to care at every level of delivery: the individual, family, and community (Pope, Hough & Chase, 2016). The principle of beneficence means that nurses act in ways that benefit their patients, including their extended families, not through paternalistic actions but through patient empowerment. Patient empowerment… Continue Reading...
later generations who sought to utilize a teaching tool that could guide, using moral and ethical principles. Over time the philosophy attributed to Confucius even grew as more ideas were added to the body of work that became known as Confucianism. This body of work was the result of logical extrapolation of ideas from the foundation laid out both by traditional Chinese culture during the Zhou dynasty and Confucius himself who simply emphasized and promoted the traditional education and philosophy that he himself received. The ideal that Confucius promoted for people to strive toward was the junzi -- the exemplary figure (Ames 39).

sense of self and their unwavering commitment to their ethical principles. Gibson’s films show how a persecuted or reviled man remains true to his principles, willing to make personal sacrifices and to use force when necessary to achieve political or moral goals. His choice of setting, camera angle, music and sound editing, mis-en-scene, and other cinematographic elements are used to tell stories through Gibson’s eyes. All of his major directorial projects are grandiose in scale, deserving of the designation “epic,” due to their sweeping narratives and relatively long formats. Moreover, Gibson’s style is epic because of characteristic wide-angle shots,… Continue Reading...

Taken together, these attempts to provide some definitional clarity concerning secular humanism make it clear that proponents reject the worldviews held by those who believe in a higher power, but these attempts break down when it comes to the tenet of holding no belief in anything that “transcends ordinary experience.” In fact, it is reasonable to suggest that even the most ardent secular humanists have experienced events in… Continue Reading...
