Lying is perhaps one of the most common wrongs we (virtually all of us) commit in the course of our life. It could even be true to say that it is human nature to tell lies. Consciously or unconsciously, we often lie to evade embarrassing or awkward situations, get out of trouble, and/or make other people feel better or intimidate them. Unfortunately, even though lying may be good or bad depending on the situation at hand, or depending on who you ask, we usually disregard the impact our lies can… Continue Reading...
incident is lying. Since the patient outcome was so negative and so tragic, it is most likely the nurse who is lying and covering up her negligence, as she appears to describe actions she should have taken and could have taken, but did not in actuality take. Had the nurse been as on top of things as she claims to be, then the patient might have survived this incident. Further proof that the nurse is lying and covering up her own negligence is the testimony of the nurse in the surgeon’s office,… Continue Reading...
memorized, the length of time between the active memorization mode and the recall, and intervening distractors including lying about the material or personality variables may also have an effect on whether the effort spent on memory recall will lead to improved recall (Simon, Williams, Wolfe & Hessler, 2015). In this study, Simon, Williams, Wolfe & Hessler (2015) examined the differences between participants with Machiavellian personality characteristics and people with low levels of Machiavellian characteristics, and found that those with high Machiavellian characteristics who lied about a video they watched versus those who did not lie were more prone to distortion of the material. In other words, lying… Continue Reading...
behavior in our workforce today consist of misuse of company funds, misuse of company time, fraudulent activity, and lying. There are many different examples of these unethical activities. Wells Fargo for instance was just punished for signing people up to accounts that they did not want and then charging them for the service. Other banks view their clients as “muppets” and attempt to manipulate them for the banks’ advantage (Coleman, 2016). Other issues include sexual harassment in the workplace (the #MeToo movement has exposed this) and continued inequality.
Leadership in organizations could help to minimize ethical misconduct by setting the example themselves and instituting a culture of virtue… Continue Reading...
Global Risks
Climate change is something affecting all countries, with particular relevance to low-lying coastal regions. Island nations in the Indian Ocean, for example, and the dozens of nations in the Caribbean are at risk of inundation not just from the constantly rising sea levels from melting glacial ice in polar regions. Climate change leads to warming ocean waters, which in turn lead to more frequent and more severe storms. In addition to island nations, low-lying coastal regions on mainland continents will also become increasingly vulnerable to the effects of climate change. Climate change does impact other regions of the globe and other… Continue Reading...
lying face-down with feet as well as hands tied up. The ninth stage of gluttony comprises of gluttonous souls who are being punished by being made to experience intense thirst and hunger. Lastly, we have lust as the ninth stage. Here, we have souls who did not hold chastity in high regard. The punishment prescribed as a consequence was the order to run right through a flame wall while calling out chastity examples.
The circles I would be selecting in this case are avarice and pride, which happen to be… Continue Reading...
lying action is wrong or right. In simpler terms, a choice is considered to be "right" if it conforms to an ethical norm: Right must be prioritized over good. If, for instance, an individual puts forward the idea that all life forms presently inhabiting the world but not supporting agriculture ought to be eliminated for ending the malice of starvation, deontologists would oppose the idea, claiming a world from which starvation has been eliminated is not a good situation owing to how this situation came into being in the first… Continue Reading...

Krebs does set store by the truth, circumstances and society coerce him into lying. The tale depicts, in an accurate manner, the contradiction between his personal values (which changed drastically following his experiences on the battlefield) and people’s expectations from him (he is expected to display compliance with societal values). Ultimately, Krebs resorts to a life of seclusion, alienating himself from love, ambition, societal relationships, and religion (LAGGC).
Several circumstances combine and give rise to the conflicts outlined in the story. But three elements, in particular, contribute significantly to Krebs’ conflict: the failure of Krebs’ hometown inhabitants to welcome him back like a… Continue Reading...
lying is wrong, stealing is wrong, and so on. As Goldsmith points out, companies are duty-bound by the rules of conventional ethics to…[…… parts of this paper are missing, click here to view the entire document ]…exists; it offshores jobs and destroys the market that it needs to exist. The company, like man, is not an end in itself as it cannot sustain itself of its own essence. Its essence is to be part of a relationship with investors, consumers, communities, and the planet. To ignore the totality of this… Continue Reading...
team members do this so that issues are not lying dormant, waiting for the first crack in the team’s unity to spew forth in a fit of crisis. By getting everyone’s issues out in the open at the beginning, the team member can be alert to each of the members’ needs and be attentive to ways in which those needs can be met to help push the member upwards towards the self-actualizing level of motivation that is needed for success (Maslow, 1943). The objective of the forming stage is to enable the team members to express sympathy, positivity, empathy… Continue Reading...
lying down, arm in arm, / They enjoy their first embrace.” Here, Heine establishes the counterpoint for right-wing political thought and culture by mentioning the burgeoning emergence of a pan-European identity and its ascription to the principles and ideals of freedom, equality, and social justice.
Rather than depending on the freedom and liberation of poetry from the conventions of prose narration, Isherwood offers a more blunt assessment of the political climate in pre-Nazi Berlin. In “A Berlin Diary,” the narrator assumes the autobiographical stance similar to that taken by Heine… Continue Reading...
do allow for psychological resilience or social networking. Lying is a common coping tactic, used to influence landlords (Desmond 3). Many of the single moms also need to lie to their children in order to protect them from the harsh realities of the world, or to insulate them from fear, anxiety, and pain. A few actually hide their children from landlords, who prefer not to rent to single mothers (Desmond 26). Some people effectively subvert the system in other ways, such as by “stealing electricity (Desmond 66). Tenants can sometimes pay off part of their rent via under-the-table… Continue Reading...
from being found by a killer (Sen, 1983). Not all deontologists agree on that point: Kant would argue that lying is never right and that moral absolutism applies; the duty-based ethics perspective, however, posits that moral relativism is justified—but, of course, the bone of contention is how one defines what is right (Karnik & Kanekar, 2016).
Ethics is a fundamental health care competency: professionals in the health care field have to be well-versed in how to apply ethical frameworks to situations in which they are participants. While different ethical systems call for different types of action—for example, virtue ethics places the emphasis of action on pursuing the good, while… Continue Reading...
wall defect which leads to multiple gastrointestinal organs lying within a yellow sac outside the patient’s body (Gaydos et.al 2005). Fortunately, the baby in question did not have it so bad, as I learned by overhearing a discussion between the physician on duty and the baby’s parents. Another hard- to- forget memory is that of seeing an imperforate anus – a congenital issue caused by the absence of an anus orifice, leading to a fistula between the rectum and urethra, bladder, vagina or other body part (Hopkins et.al 2017).
My nurse shadowing experience’s most harrowing moment was definitely… Continue Reading...
lying standard clustering algorithms on this feature set can be possible. The main question is what features to consider when applying the algorithm? For the purpose of this study, we identified multiple time series describing each coin and we also constructed derivative parameters to define these series.
Next, we devised a method of moving from simple to complex in terms of identifying clusters:
1. We used common, standard features for each series (parameter): Means, Medians, Standard deviations, Skewness, and Kurtosis.
2. We used tsfresh library to automate the process of features extraction.… Continue Reading...
risks for different disasters. For example, an inland area is less prone to hurricane damage than low-lying coastal areas and places that are not located near tectonic plate friction would not be prone to earthquakes. While natural disasters can sometimes be predicted, they often happen suddenly and without warning, making them difficult to plan for and respond to. Moreover, natural disasters can have unpredictable effects in terms of the extent and type of damage incurred.
Earthquakes
Earthquakes are geophysical natural disasters caused by the movement of tectonic plates. When earthquakes are caused by human activity such as using explosives underground, they would be classified more as… Continue Reading...

times towards one another. But there is always the hint or suggestion of an ulterior motive lying just beneath the surface—whether it is Gatsby using Nick to get closer to Daisy, Tom using Myrtle for personal pleasure, or the guests at Gatsby’s parties using him to have a good and reckless time that they could never enjoy elsewhere. The fact that Nick ends up alone, leaving the East and heading back to the Midwest indicates that he failed to find true friendship in the novel. Friendship is about caring for and giving oneself to another person—yet the characters in the novel all seem so inherently selfish… Continue Reading...
autonomy, right to knowledge, and nonmaleficence. Non-disclosure is a form of lying or deceit in that it is a deliberate withholding of information from patient about that patient’s own body. Likewise, non-disclosure inhibits the ability of the patient “to make appropriate decisions about the treatment that she needed as a result of the error,” (Sorrell, 2017, p. 1). Advanced practice nurses also operate under the ethical duty to care and to not do harm. Disclosure prevents further harm from occurring: such as the harm that arises out of eroded trust, the harm that arises out of the perpetuation of a culture… Continue Reading...
