...Running head: A Comparison A Comparison of Ethical Values Kevin R. Fields (0817105) Saint Leo University Class ID: 2449406 Class Name: 2008FallTerm1 Ethical behavior and definable core values is the cornerstone of any profession. The Profession of Arms, or to be more specific, the United States Air Force, has a set of core values that govern every aspect of being a professional airman. The medical community, to include psychology, has ethical standards and general principles of conduct that governing interaction with each other, sub-specialties within the field, and with the patients they serve. Institutions of higher learning have basic values intended to be impressed upon students through every aspect of their educational experience. The purpose of this paper is to compare the Core Values of Saint Leo University to those of the American Psychological Association. By doing so, I will demonstrate the similarities between the professional ethics of the practicing Psychologist and those of the student enrolled at Saint Leo University. The 2002 Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct of American Psychological Association (APA) establishes behaviors and standards for the profession of psychology. The five General Principles outlined in this document serve as a value system intended to inspire psychologists toward the highest ideals of the profession (APA Ethics Code, 2002). Listed below are the five General...

...members of Team B have a common cultural attitude. They both have a set of core values that give them a starting point for every dilemma encountered and every decision made. Core values are, according to "Definitions Of Anthropological Terms" (n.d.), “attitudes and beliefs thought to uniquely pattern a culture.” (para. Core Values). Here, we will discuss the alignment of core values between UPS and Team B. First we will discuss a brief history of UPS and what activities UPS engages. We will specifically discuss the core values that UPS follows as it executes those activities, and we will define the core values. We will then discuss the core values of Team B, and how Team B uses these core values to execute its tasks as an entity in the academic environment. Finally, we will analyze the alignment of the core values between UPS and Team B, and discuss if the members of Team B would consider working for UPS. Table 1 depicts the degree of correlation between UPS and Team B as part of this analysis. History UPS is a global organization that has a rich history spanning 107 years. UPS started a humble existence operating out of a basement and making deliveries on foot and bicycle. UPS continues to follow the inspiring teachings of Jim Casey who was 19 years old at the time and a founder of UPS. (United Parcel Service of America, Inc, 1994 - 2013). According to United Parcel Service of America, Inc, (1994 - 2013), Founded in 1907 as a messenger company in the United States, UPS...

...Evaluation in Higher Education, Vol. 28, No. 5, October 2003 In Other (People’s) Words: plagiarism by university students—literature and lessons CHRIS PARK, The Graduate School, Lancaster University, Lancaster, UK ABSTRACT This paper reviews the literature on plagiarism by students, much of it based on North American experience, to discover what lessons it holds for institutional policy and practice within institutions of higher education in the UK. It explores seven themes: the meaning and context of plagiarism, the nature of plagiarism by students, how do students perceive plagiarism, how big a problem is student plagiarism, why do students cheat, what challenges are posed by digital plagiarism and is there a need to promote academic integrity? It is concluded that plagiarism is doubtless common and getting more so (particularly with increased access to digital sources, including the Internet), that there are multiple reasons why students plagiarise and that students often rationalise their cheating behaviour and downplay the importance of plagiarism by themselves and their peers. It is also concluded that there is a growing need for UK institutions to develop cohesive frameworks for dealing with student plagiarism that are based on prevention supported by robust detection and penalty systems that are transparent and applied consistently. Introduction Much has been written on the theme of plagiarism by students, particularly in the context of North American experience...

...Enabling strategies enact academic integrity policy. Without long-term, sustainable and practical support resources, a policy will not be enacted, no matter how well it is articulated. The cases in this resource cover a range of academic integrity issues in Australian universities with application for a wider audience. These case studies have been developed by the Academic Integrity Standards Project. “…I suspect that every senior manager needs to have some training in the issue of academic integrity principles. I learnt mine on the job, so I think that needs to be worked through so that the policy and the implementation and the people who have that power understand those principles …So I think the case study models really useful. How would you deal with someone who had this story; you know, what would you do, and then work out what you'd do pragmatically versus where the policy fits from there.” (Senior Manager, University B, Academic Integrity Standards Project) Although they may be based on real life stories, they have been adapted and anonymised for the purposes of this project resource; pseudonyms are used in every instance. The case studies are designed to be used as triggers for discussion in group seminars and primarily target teaching staff, although they could be used for discussion with students or other academic integrity stakeholders. Support for this project/activity has been provided by the Australian Government Office for Learning and Teaching...

...Chapter 1 Ethical Reasoning: Implications for Accounting Ethics Reflection PENN STATE CHILD ABUSE SCANDAL: A CULTURE OF INDIFFERENCE What motivates an otherwise ethical person to do the wrong thing when faced with an ethical dilemma? Why did Joe Paterno and administrators at Penn State University look the other way and fail to act on irrefutable evidence that former assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky had raped and molested young boys, an offense for which Sandusky currently is serving a 30- to 60-year sentence? According to the independent report by Louis Freeh that investigated the sexual abuse, four of the most powerful people at Penn State, including president Graham Spanier, athletic director Timothy Curley, senior vice president Gary Schultz, and head football coach Joe Paterno, sheltered a child predator harming children for over a decade by concealing Sandusky’s activities from the board of trustees, the university community, and authorities. The Freeh report characterizes the inactions as lacking empathy for the victims by failing to inquire as to their safety and wellbeing. Not only that, but they exposed the first abused child to additional harm by alerting Sandusky, who was the only one who knew the child’s identity, of what assistant coach Mike McQueary saw in the shower on the night of February 9, 2001.1 McQueary testified at the June 2012 trial of Sandusky that when he was a graduate assistant, he walked into the locker room and heard sounds of slapping...
