Luckily, there is a great deal that can be done to fix the ethical and practical problems created by this initial decision. A quick examination and presentation of other nearby programs and meeting times that allows Lizzy to choose one that will best allow her to attend regularly without disrupting work and family obligations. An apology from Tammy regarding her initial hastiness would also go a long way in repairing the relationship between she and Lizzy.
The primary negative effect here is for Lizzy and her family; not only does Tammy's selection of a meting for her eliminate her ability to choose, but it also sets her up for failure. Tammy's insistence that this is the meeting she must attend could be interpreted to mean that if attendance at this meeting is missed or is generally impractical, attendance at any meeting or program is essentially worthless. This could make Lizzy less willing to work on her issues, and this would then reflect poorly on Tammy and the agencies ability to effectively help the clients they are given by the courts and the overall system.
Case 3
During her employment as a secretary for a law firm, Kim is required to handle documents pertaining to a suit being brought b by her firm against ABC agency for providing poor care of the elderly at their aftercare facilities. Heidi, Kim's sister, is a social worker at the ABC agency, and Kim sometimes shares information regarding the lawsuit with her. The suit involves a large amount of money, and the information is presumably sensitive.
Both Heidi and Kim are engaging in direct and egregious ethical breaches in this sharing of information. In this instance, Kim is actually behaving worse, as she is in a position to recuse herself from handling documents pertaining to this suit. Her law firm no doubt handles other cases, and an...
J. Simpson or John Gotti. In both cases, the defendants are entitled to the presumption of innocence only in court; but there is no such "presumption" in the intellectual "court" of one's mind. A lawyer with integrity would refuse to represent any defendant he believed was probably guilty of horrendous crimes and simply let that defendant be represented by a court-appointed attorney who is obligated by law to represent any defendant
Ethical System and Its Justification In the definition of an ethical system, there are both the ethical theories and ethical principles. These provide the viewpoints upon which an ethical analysis is conducted Schwartz, 2003. They provide guidance as to what path to take to arrive at the final decision James, 2000. To me, good is defined as that action which is ethical in nature and which complies with the standards of the
Alford reports that "for some, the earth moves when they discover that people in authority routinely lie and that those who work for them routinely cover up. Once one knows this, or rather once one feels this knowledge in one's bones, one lives in a new world. Some people remain aliens in the new world forever. Maybe they like it that way. Maybe they don't have a choice." (Alford,
Ethics The Dowd Model of Ethical Decision Making in Medical Imaging: Two Dilemma Scenarios Radiologic Alcoholic An ethical dilemma is raised in a situation where two "right" courses of action are found to be mutually exclusive of each other; that is, when doing one "right" thing necessarily leads to leaving the other "right" thing undone or even contravening this "right" and doing the opposite (Towsley-Cook & Young, 2007). A scenario in which an
OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT DILEMMA Applying Christian Principles to an Operations Management DilemmaFrom the onset, it would be prudent to note that the ethical dilemma I opted to focus on in this write-up relates to managing quality (chapter 6). Heizer, Render and Munson (2020) point out that one of the most crucial tasks for operations managers happens to be ensuring that the products as well as services delivered to customers are not
Ethics is a grey area in many instances within the medical community. Ethical codes help by providing guidance that allow for professional judgment or discretion and the idiosyncratic nature surrounding ethical dilemmas. As mentioned in the first lecture concerning ethics, ethics is mostly observed as being a serious reflective activity essentially concerned with a methodical inspection of the ethical life (Callaghan & Ryan, 2012). It is intended to illuminate what
