Ethics

Psychologists have long-since claimed that children are especially vulnerable to influence, whether favorable or unfavorable experiences, during their early formative years. Certain storylines in films require the use of child actors to portray criminal and even savage characters or be on the receiving end of violence. Consider the morality (not legality) of using child actors for such violent roles. Do you believe that using children in such roles is morally acceptable? Would your answer be different if the violence depicted was based on a true story of events or strictly fictional? How does this issue relate to the use of violent video games in children? Be sure to discuss how at least one ethical theory (virtue, utilitarianism, etc.) would respond to this issue. Dimmock, M., & Fisher, A. (2017). Ethics for A-level.

For this assignment you will identify a current ethical issue from those provided, and analyze it from the perspective of Mill’s utilitarianism, Kant’s deontological ethic, and Aristotle’s virtue ethic. Conclude your presentation by defending one of these approaches. You can use the same ethical theory that you used for your Final Paper, or you can use a different one.

As part of this week’s assignment, I need you to present the concept of the utilitarian approach to moral evaluation. Please present a research paper of no less than 880 words, In APA style, 5-7 references. Please close your paper with your point of view on the subject.

Please write a 4-5 page essay (double spaced, with standard font) assessing the applicability or relevance of the Ancient Greeks, and the position of “Virtue Ethics” to Contemporary Business Organizations.  Are they of value?  If so, how might that be, and if not, why would that be the case?

The purpose of Chapter 3 was to introduce you to the role and function of professional ethics.  But beyond this cognitive purpose, the hope was also to stimulate you to begin to value the need for a professional code of ethics and a desire to embrace it for your profession.  The following is intended to assist you in this valuing process.  Read each of the following scenarios.  Identify and discuss areas of ethical concern in which issues of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice may be operative: In the case illustration throughout the chapter, the client, Maria, shared the possibility that she was having unprotected sex with a boyfriend whom she identified as having AIDS.  Since AIDS is a medical condition and sexual activity is a personal decision, should either of these issues be of ethical concern for Ms. Wicks, the counselor? Given your current level of training and the ethical concern for practicing within one’s level of competence, what type of helping or for what type of client or problem do you currently feel competent to assist?  What else will you need to do to increase your level of competence to be an ethical professional? If codes of ethics are commonly shared guidelines to be employed by each member of a specific profession, what role and level of responsibility does a member have in monitoring that his or her colleagues practice ethically? Identify two forms of unethical practice that you feel deserve maximum sanctioning by one’s profession.  What form should the sanctioning take? This assignment will be graded based on: Quality of content including the ability to communicate and demonstrate insight into your values and how they impact your opinion, your ability to clearly identify a goal and treatment strategy, as well as clearly stating how your opinions, biases, values and culture experiences have influenced your choices

Discussion: Religion and Ethics 1616 unread replies.1616 replies. Required Resources Read/review the following resources for this activity: ·       Minimum of 1 scholarly source (in addition to the textbook) Initial Post Instructions St. Augustine in the 5th Century held that we are free to make choices in life. This is the idea of free will. It may seem at first glance odd for a religious thinker to say that we have free will. After all, if God exists, then God created all things. God knows already what we will do. God can cause anything to occur. If we cause things to occur, that seems to be a limitation on the power of God and not make God all-powerful. There are also religion traditions that say that we have no free will. There are some theologians in Islam who seem to suggest that is true. In order for this line of reasoning to hold true, one would need to believe free will is an illusion and that we have no control over how we live our lives, but rather that we are puppets moving and acting due to God’s will and the powers of destiny and fate. And if this then in the case, how can we possibly be responsible for our actions? The considerations above show us to what degree our religious beliefs can shape us. For instance, someone who believes in free will may experience way more guilt than someone who believes we don’t have free will and thus aren’t responsible for the choices (and consequences) of the actions we take. Personal struggles with religion and ethics occur in many places, including in the healthcare arena. Consider the following: You are a nurse in a hospital. A 12 year-old was brought to the hospital by an ambulance. The parents have just arrived at the hospital. This 12 year-old has lost a large amount of blood and requires a transfusion. The parents happen to be members of a religion that believes that blood transfusions are immoral. They want to remove the child from the hospital and prevent the transfusion even if it means the death of the child. You have to decide whether or not you will participate in an action that violates the will of the parents and aid in providing blood for the child. If you choose to participate, and even if you are able to legally justify it, you have to think about the distress you are creating for the parents. If you refuse to aid here, you may be subject to retaliation from the hospital. What is the moral thing for the nurse to do here? Initial Post Instructions For the initial post, address the following questions: 1.    What would a divine command ethicist say is the moral thing to do here? Why would they say that? Do you agree with the divine command ethics? Why or why not? 2.    Evaluate what a natural law ethicist would say is right to do. Do you agree with them? Why or why not? 3.    Given what you said are the right things to do, what would an emotivist say about your positions and judgments? What role does subjectivity play here in determining what is ethical? Writing Requirements ·       Minimum of 3 posts (1 initial & 2 follow-up) ·       Minimum of 2 sources cited (assigned readings/online lessons and an outside scholarly source) ·       APA format for in-text citations and list of references

Now that you have learned about competing ethical theories, write a 500-600 word thread that compares and contrasts a Christian ethical theory with a competing ethical theory. Since we have already looked at ethical relativism in DB 1, you should choose from any theory in the Moral Reasoning textbook except ethical relativism. That means you can choose from Virtue Ethics, Natural Law, Ethical Egoism, Utilitarianism, Duty Ethics, Social Contract Theory, and Moral Realism (or any combination of these) in contrast to a Christian ethical theory such as Divine Command, Divine Nature, or Christian Revelational Ethics (or a combination of these). 1.      How does each system define “the good?” How does each claim to know “the good?” 2.      What, if anything, do these systems have in common? What, if anything, are their key differences? WWhich theory do you think is the stronger ethical theory? Defend your answer. This final question should take up the majority of your thread. Be sure to carefully define your terms. You are encouraged to support your position with rational arguments, fitting examples, and expert sources. Any quotes or information used from sources other than yourself must be cited using footnotes in current Turabian format and will not count towards the total word count. You will be penalized for falling short or exceeding the word count. This is a university-level writing assignment and therefore it must be carefully proofread, free of grammar, spelling, and punctuation errors.
