...Ethics Final ETH/316 10/06/2013 In Ethics 316 we discussed what it means to not only be ethical but what it means to be socially responsible. In the next few pages we will be looking more in depth week by week on what ethical theories are, what it means to be socially responsible, and how something could be ethical but not legal. Ethical Theories During our first week we looked at Ethical Theories which included deontological ethics, utilitarianism, and virtue ethics. To go through and brake down each one individually would take way to long, so instead we will be looking more into Utilitarianism. To be able to discuss Utilitarianism we first need to understand what it is. According to Michael Boylan Basic Ethics, Second Edition (2009), “Utilitarianism is a theory that suggests that an action is morally right when that action produces more total utility for the group than any other alternative. Sometimes this has been shortened to the slogan, “The greatest good for the greatest number.” All ethics play some part in what we consider right and wrong, but Utilitarianism also looks at cause and effect. We see cause and effect in our everyday lives with the decisions we make even at a subconscious level. In business we look at what will benefit not only the business but ourselves and compare it to the outcome to determine if it will benefit what we are trying to achieve. A basic way to look at it would be “If I work hard and show them I am capable of not only...

The second actor is Coordinator Annie Doright who is responsible for WISH’s daily operations and implements plans from the board of directors. She feels like the organization needs to change so that it can collect more donations (Watson, p. 166). Then there is Ebeneezer Taylor who is a longtime volunteer and has served on the WISH Board. Taylor does not want to change the mission and wants to continue to...

...What Does It Mean to Be a Citizen? Most of us think of citizenship as a political ideal. To be a citizen is to be a member of a political community, namely the nation-state. With it, of course, come certain legal rights (such as the rights of habeas corpus, the rights of free speech, the right to bear arms, and so on) as well as political responsibilities (such as the duty to participate in elections, to serve as a member of a jury, and the like). On the face of it, citizenship is rather straightforward, uncomplicated, and not all that interesting. But citizenship is more than a legal designation. It is also a cultural ideal. It is infused with moral meaning, encompassed by normative principles, values, and expectations that all derive from the social, historical, and cultural context of the times. How, for example, does one’s identity as a citizen relate to other sources of identity—be they religious, ethnic, social class, familial, or professional? Do any of these rise in significance over citizenship, or does membership in a political community trump all others? And how might citizenship help to navigate these conflicts? What is the meaning of citizenship in light of the power of the market? We are acutely aware of the role of money among special interest groups, lobbies, and political consultants. We are also sensitive to the effects of money on the political process itself, as in endorsements and advertising. Do these factors eclipse the historic place and role of the...

...A Healthy Community There are infinite details and particulars that come to mind when a person begins to think of a healthy community, but the most important ones that I can see are being able to strongly provide social, economic, and developmental solutions and relief while also having the ability to feel safety within these certain areas. People are not always going to agree on the details within these certain areas, but these seem to be the basic necessities for a community maintaining self-sustainability. Before any of these solutions can be addressed there first must be an overall mind state of being a community, or in other words, everyone in it together, as a whole. The CDC states on their website that " a community that is continuously creating and improving those physical and social environment and expanding those community resources that enable people to mutually support each other in performing all the functions of life and in developing to their maximum potential."[“About Healthy Places.”] The community in which I live in surely does not meet these solutions mentioned perfectly, but the feeling of everyone on the same page is defiantly there, so there is hope and a good base on which to begin the changes necessary. Communities that are successful need to consist of strong social networks able to provide ways for people to meet, interact, build relationships, and have the ability to choose what religious sect they want to be a part of. I feel that people will...

...Running head: The Need to Improve Communication through Diversity Skills The Need to Improve Communication through Diversity Skills Christina Smith-Kimball Western Governors University The Need to Improve Communication through Diversity Skills As educators we hold a certain position in our community. Society holds us to a higher standard when it comes to our ability to be aware, adapt, accept, and understand the cultural diversity of the students and families, our co-workers, and volunteers we work with in our community. As our cultural demographics change in our community communication can become a challenge. If we cannot communicate effectively with those we work with we cannot do our jobs effectively. Demographic Changes The United States is changing faster than it ever has before. We can find more evidence of these demographic changes in our public schools more than anywhere else. Three changes that are, and will continue to become more notable in our public school system, is the rate in which immigration has grown, low income families are on the rise, and the natural population growth continues to increase, as quickly as the diversity of that population. Immigration Growth “Immigration have put the United States on a short road to a population diversity never before experienced by any nation—a population in which all races and ethnicities are part of minority groups that make up a complex whole.” (Center for Public Education 2012) As the...

...philosophy and is not embedded in Categorical Imperative, which is self governing reason that each and every individual possess as a guiding factor in practical affairs, business decisions such as the failed merger of AT&T and TMobile merger. Reason, declared Kant, is the source and ultimate basis for morality (Cavico & Mujtaba, 2013). Meaning, morality is not based on the animalistic side of man, but, rather on a God given conscience weaved in the moral laws which are the opposite of intuition or utility. This moral law is binding on human beings, simply because they are rational (Cavico & Mujtaba, 2013), however; what makes man rational? Does the rationality of man only apply to personal matter not business matter? Does that rationality prevent business controversies? Rationality is a most desirable quality of man, however; such rationality does not always apply to business matter. The merger of the second and fourth largest telecommunications companies, AT&T and T-Mobile is a prime example of how far man will go in order to ignore his God given conscience. However, the same man that is often ready to make irrational business moves is somewhat careful when it comes to personal matter or family matters. A perfect example is the fast food industry, where without any doubt, these fortunes 500, companies would not allow their children to consume food in the dollar menu; but, that same man would not hesitate to open a restaurant in a poor neighborhood and contribute...

...Instructor: Societal Norms vs. Change People tend to stick to what they know, what has been normal and passed down to them from generations and apply these things to their own lives. Communities are simply afraid of change and afraid of the way it may affect their ways of living for the worst. Change will always affect different people and communities differently, whether it is positively or negatively. Following old traditions within small communities has both costs and benefits. The question is whether or not change could overcome both the benefits and costs of following old traditions within the community. According to Nancy Scheper-Hughes, an anthropologist and the author of The Anthropological Looking Glass, communities, such as small villages from Ireland like Ballybran, need to accept change to be able to learn the more modern ways of looking at situations. Scheper-Hughes critiques the Irish villager’s ways of living and, whether or not she actually noticed, compares this village to American way of living. Villages such as Ballybran may have a different way of living, but this does not necessarily mean it should be looked at as uncivilized or the wrong way, though change may have been a wise choice for the villagers, which Scheper-Hughes was trying to imply. Furthermore, Maxine Hong Kingston, the author of No Name Woman, emphasizes on the risks and effects of change when born into such a strict community such as a woman born into Chinese customs and their role within...

...Indonesian) and South Asian (Indian, Bengali, Pakistani) and so forth. We want to explore how various Asian ethnic groups identify socially and culturally with the term Asian American. We asked for written responses from Asian American students, who have these background ethnicities, to describe in their own words what being Asian American means to them. In addition, we walked around campus and interviewed several second-generation Asian Americans. In their explanations, we encouraged the students to explain if it was a struggle growing up in America, whether they have ever been a victim to stereotypes or discrimination and how they have dealt with it. We took these statements and compared them to the stereotypes placed immigrants of the 1900s. In addition to the interviews, we analyzed our finding with an article published by Jerry Park of Baylor University titled, “Second-Generation Asian American Pan-Ethnic Identify: Pluralized Meaning of a Racial Label” who did a similar study in four public universities, along with other readings from class. The term, Asian American, was formed as a significant symbolic move in constructing an ethnic identity for the pan-Asian community in the 1960s (Espiritu, 33). The term was created to identify the majority of Asian American immigrants, mainly Japanese, Chinese and Pilipino (Espiritu, 32-33). The beginning waves of Asian immigration in America stared in the mid-1800s to early-1900s, of Chinese, Japanese, Indian, Filipino and Korean descent...
