...Ethics Awareness Inventory PSYCH/545 Ethics Awareness Inventory Individual, corporate, and educational success relies largely on a person’s ability to make valuable and ethical professional decisions. The differences in ethical and moral characteristics can have positive or disastrous effects on careers and personal lives. In this paper the importance of understanding personal ethical perspective and the relationship between personal and professional ethics in psychology will be discussed. According to Mulcahy (2011), the Ethics Awareness Inventory Core is a philosophical study of moral values based on assumptions of what is determined to be right and wrong. The acronym for Core means Character, Obligation, Results, and Equity. These words define the meaning as a set of principles of beliefs for the background of the concept that includes morals, values principals, and rules that include standards of conduct and obligations for individuals and organizations. The ethical awareness inventory helps in evaluate the ethical style of an individual. This program asks a series of questions and evaluates the answers. Based on the answers an individual learns what his or her ethical perspective is. Many people view ethics from different perspectives and because of these differences is natural for people to have ethical conflicts with others. For example, an individual who has a different view about religion and politics may see ethical issues differently from another person...

...Ethical Awareness Inventory Analysis Gen/480 Ethical Awareness “You tend to base your ethical perspective on what it is good to be, rather than what it is good to do” (The Williams Institute for Ethics and Management, 2012). My ethical awareness inventory scored predominantly high in the character-based perspective. As this inventory states, “Good people demonstrate good actions” (The Williams Institute for Ethics and Management, 2012). I believe the basis for this ethical perspective comes from the fact that I was raised in and still practice Christianity. “The process of living out one’s values is more important than the outcome of a decision” (The Williams Institute for Ethics and Management, 2012). I don’t know that I would consider this to be true of myself. I had a negative number in the results perspective. As an entrepreneur I do value results. I have owned businesses before where I had to let employees go because they negatively affected the bottom-line. I knew that if I allowed the current arrangement to continue the entire business would close and everyone would be out of a job not just the employee who role was no longer a contribution to the bottom-line. That being said I would never make a decision that was dishonest, deceptive or intestinally destructive to anyone for self-preservation. The section of the EAI that identified frustrations are both accurate and ridiculous. The ridiculous is from the foundational pre-supposition that “not everyone has an...

...Ethics Awareness Inventory Analysis Constance L. Hernandez GEN 480 June 8, 2014 Jenny Hayes Ethics Awareness Inventory Analysis The Ethics Awareness Inventory Analysis is an analysis of a person’s moral beliefs and standards that he or she holds in both his and her personal and professional lives. After taking the analysis I was not surprised at the results, I scored extremely high on both character and obligation. When reading through the ethical perspectives that were offered in the report, I found them to be accurate to the way that I think and believe. In this paper, I will address the results of the test, how my education has affected my ethical thinking, the use of my ethics in thinking and decision-making and any potential conflicts that may arise from persons with different ethical behaviors. I hold very high values and believe that integrity is a virtue that defines a person, how he or she conducts his or her lives; as well as how he or she treats and respects others. According to “Merriam Webster” (2014) ethics is “rules of behavior that is based on what is morally good and bad. Ethics is a study that deals with ideas about what is good and bad behavior; a branch of philosophy dealing with what is morally right or wrong, and a belief that something is extremely important.” I have always believed that it is important to respect yourself and others, to make sure that your obligations are taken seriously and placed ahead of anything else. I want people to know...

...and forced to live in harsh conditions. The sight of this child is both shocking and sickening; however, it is known that the secluded child cannot be released into society. By each child in the community being introduced to the child in the basement, they are all forced to be aware of the conditions which the child is living its life in. For the majority of the people of Omelas it is this awareness that is instilled into all of them that helps them make Omelas a seemingly utopian community. Instead of using their awareness of the child’s poor living condition to help it they try to justify its condition with their own actions. On the other hand however, those who choose to walk away from Omelas use their awareness of the child as a reason to leave the community. It is their ethical decision to do the only thing they can to help the child in the basement and that is not be a part of those who keep it there. In a non bias way the text allows you as a reader to observe two different ethical viewpoints on the treatment of the child in the basement, and ultimately make your own ethical decision regarding the issue of the child’s mistreatment. In the beginning of the story the text focuses mainly on the people and the seemingly perfect living conditions of Omelas. The people who live in Omelas believe that their lives depend tremendously on the seclusion and mistreatment of the child in the basement. Some of the citizens understand why the child must be sacrificed, and some...

...1) Reducing world poverty is a topic that has been around for quite some time. To reduce world poverty, the author states we must raise awareness by ensuring that our students are adequately informed about world poverty, its consequences, and ways it can be reduced. My impression from this is that the author is going to try and persuade me that poverty can be treated by showing me the advantages of awareness to poverty from students. This is a value based statement because it’s the authors inferred opinion that world poverty can end if we raise awareness. 2) Better health care, agricultural techniques and techniques generating electricity are all advancements made in technology that will aid in the fight of poverty. (Singer, 2009) With the technology we have today, the author states that poverty is more presently linked between the rich and the poor. This gives you the impression that because poverty is more mainstreamed into your home and school that it will make you more aware to the poverty problem. Does seeing it on television make you feel worse than seeing it in person? Once again this is a value based statement. Just because technology is better today does not mean that people will magically grow a heart and become compassionate. I believe we must first deal with the lack of empathy there is in the world today. 3) 1.4 billion people are living on 1.25 a day. Due to this many children our going malnourished and dying because the food that they are eating lacks vital...

...as any other organization to raise awareness of the disease and provide anyone interested in the disease with a large amount of valuable and reliable information. A larger goal of the association is to one day end Alzheimer’s their vision is “A world without Alzheimer’s” (alz.org, 2011) The Associations mission is “to eliminate Alzheimer’s disease through the advancement of research; to provide and enhance care and support for all affected; and to reduce the risk of dementia through the promotion of brain health.”( alz.org, 2011) The association has a very informed website that provides things to help such as knowing what it is; 10 signs; stages; treatments; diagnosis and risks of the disease all related to their goal of raising awareness. All the information being sent out is obviously useful and a large part of their awareness goals but their ultimate goal of one day curing Alzheimer’s is more important. Their “Walk to End Alzheimer’s” it is a walk around the country that helps raise money for the research of the disease that is the sixth most leading cause of death. The problem that these goals may reflect on the organization could interfere ethically they cannot give any confirmation to anyone if they might have Alzheimer’s they make it aware and even give advice on how to go talk to your doctor.

...often the individuals the system was designed to protect creating a serious gap in implementing the HSE-MS. Some 4 years ago the former Shell Deepwater Services (SDS) was facing the roll out of their HSE-MS and the question was asked by the Management Team how do we get our personnel to explicitly understand our HSE-MS so that we can get maximum benefit from it? The result of asking this question has been the development and introduction of a series of critically acclaimed workshops aimed at demonstrating an HSE-MS as simply as possible. “Protecting What’s Important 1” and “Protecting What’s Important 2” workshops have received considerable approval from participants for the manner in which the information is presented and for the awareness the courses bring. Description of Workshops Protecting What’s Important 1 In 2000 a team of SDS employees were organized with the goal of bridging the gap between SDS personnel and the HSE-MS. A series of development meetings and pilot programs resulted in the unveiling of Protecting What’s Important (PWI) in 2001.

What are the ramifications of this? Women in the southern states are more prone to being obese and carrying it into their later years than most other American woman. Obesity can be a stepping stone to severe health problems later on in life. Issues such as HTN, cardiac problems, diabetes, orthopedic problems, the list goes on and on.

...ASEAN is a region of immense and colourful cultural diversity, one that shares common historical threads. ASEAN Member States promote cooperation in culture to help build an ASEAN identity. They seek to promote ASEAN awareness and a sense of community, preserve and promote ASEAN cultural heritage, promote cultural creativity and industry, and engage with the community. ASEAN Leaders envision ASEAN as a community of caring societies, conscious of its ties of history, aware of its cultural heritage and bound by a common regional identity. One of the main bodies in ASEAN cooperation in culture is the ASEAN Committee on Culture and Information (COCI). Established in 1978, its mission is to promote effective cooperation in the fields of culture through its various projects and activities. The COCI comprises representatives from national institutions like the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministries of Culture and Information, national radio and television networks, museums, archives and libraries, among others. Together, they meet once a year to formulate and agree on projects to fulfil their mission.

...Awareness of Individual Responsibility Each individual has an obligation to attempt to perform as an ideal and well-intentioned citizen. In order to achieve this goal, it is imperative to be aware of the significance of such an expression as personal responsibility. Personal responsibility refers to an ability to care for actions, feelings, emotions, good habits, and their consequences. In addition to that, responsibility covers all in regards to the understanding of the effects from making certain choices in life, accountability for obligations, difficulties, as well as the lack of responsibility in some people. The comprehension of all these definitions can interfere and be applied to success in college. The capacity to pay attention to actions and consequences is an ability, which not everyone can embrace. Basically, it is something that typically has to be learned during the early years and should be applied to the rest of the life. For instance, little children understand that by crying, is a way to get a bottle of milk, or someone will change the wet diaper. A child is supposed to understand that if the schoolwork is not finished, there will not be time for recess and so on. Although later in life, depending on people’s backgrounds, costumes, and experiences, the individual begins to form a personality. Unfortunately, not always a fully-grown person ends up having this ability. Robert Peter gives us a simple definition of Personal Responsibility in his article Personal...

...happen in you department then you are more likely able to prepare you and your organization from fraud. The major challenge that the text finds is to cultivate one with the reality rather then rhetoric. If you do keep thinking that this could only happen to another company and not yours, then you are letting your guard down and more likely to have someone to commit these crimes in your organization. Generally the government wants action and laws and regulations put into place to prevent these types of crimes from happening. The text says this could be better served as a middle ground. Just because we have the laws or regulations does not mean the crime is going to be deterred or stopped. We need to come up with the correct training and awareness as well. The main strategy option could be a preventive strategy. You need to have the correct policies in place so you can encourage people not to do these crimes. If you make your staff aware and of teach them what could happen and how to safe guard their information. Give them proper training they maybe able to prevent these crimes or at least lessen the chances of them happening. Source: Friedrichs, David O.
