...Ishan Walia 860931111 Dr. Jasso Section 122 EXAM 1 1) On Moral Development a) Lawrence Kohlberg, a professor at both University of Chicago and Harvard, was the creator of the famous “theory of stages of moral development.” This theory consisted of six stages which evaluated the moral reasoning of a person. The theory is divided into three levels, each of which has two stages within them. The levels consist of preconvention level, conventional level and post conventional level. The preconvention level consists of stages one and two. This level focuses on the individual themselves, and according to Kohlberg begins to develop between at and early age (Pegasus page 1). first stage is known as the “punishment and obedience” stage. Here people are put in scenarios where they are trying to avoid punishment both mentally and physically. Here what people ask themselves is “what must I do to not get punished.” An example of this stage can be illustrated by a Nazi soldier during the time of the holocaust. Here the soldier is ordered to kill his friend who happens to be of Jewish faith, now the soldier needs to decide whether he needs to kill his friend to avoid punishment or to stand up for his friend and not kill him and receive punishment. The next stage is called the “instrumental relativist” stage and is where people see the ideal, “treat others how they would treat you.” In this stage a person is to do whatever it takes to survive or get ahead, as they feel anyone in their...

But, as time passed people recognized the importance of HRM in organizations. They realized that HRM is not just to hire people. Apart from hiring, HRM has lot of functions which help an organization to achieve a competitive advantage. Effective HRM practices support business goals and objective. Thereby, effective HRM practices are strategic. It can improve the performance of an organization by enhancing customer satisfaction, innovation and productivity. Among the stakeholders that manager’s decision making affects, employees have a special status because most managers whatever their salary or financial stake in the company are employee themselves. This puts managers in a dual moral relationship with the corporation. As organizational leaders they have duties to the corporation and must often place the organization’s interests ahead of their own or those of their fellow employees. Like other employees, they also have a claim to fair treatment and respect in terms of their material and moral concerns. Now, in this case it can be seen that a pharmaceutical company is facing problem with HRM issues among the employees regarding harassment...

...reporting pratice and ethics paper hcs405 Reporting Practices and Ethics Paper By Ben Parks Introduction Every successful business has considered a role in reporting practices and ethics to be a significant part to their success. For many companies it can be a difficult burden when faced with the ethical compliance and accuracy for financial management. In this paper we can discuss the basic elements of financial management reporting practices and ethical standards in a health care world that is reforming as we speak. With great amount of changes will comes accountability to everyone inner and outer of the organization. This subject will explain the elements of financial management, general financial ethical standards, and will oversee some corporate scandals involving ethics, fraud, and abuse. The way an organization correlates, organizes, and prepares the reports for its financial information is part of its financial practices that it adheres too in order to accomplish the goals for its ethical standards. Today’s health care plans play a very important role in financial management. A company would be unable to operate without proper financial planning. The importance of storing and tracking all accounting records while being up to date will be the main factor as to whether the guidelines are being followed. This also allows the outer management to determine how the company is doing as a whole and also be aware as to where most of the funding is going. With new...

...Sci Eng Ethics (2011) 17:597–605 DOI 10.1007/s11948-010-9213-7 Teaching Ethics to Engineers: Ethical Decision Making Parallels the Engineering Design Process Bridget Bero • Alana Kuhlman Received: 14 January 2010 / Accepted: 18 May 2010 / Published online: 4 June 2010 Ó Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010 Abstract In order to fulfill ABET requirements, Northern Arizona University’s Civil and Environmental engineering programs incorporate professional ethics in several of its engineering courses. This paper discusses an ethics module in a 3rd year engineering design course that focuses on the design process and technical writing. Engineering students early in their student careers generally possess good black/white critical thinking skills on technical issues. Engineering design is the first time students are exposed to ‘‘grey’’ or multiple possible solution technical problems. To identify and solve these problems, the engineering design process is used. Ethical problems are also ‘‘grey’’ problems and present similar challenges to students. Students need a practical tool for solving these ethical problems. The stepwise engineering design process was used as a model to demonstrate a similar process for ethical situations. The ethical decision making process of Martin and Schinzinger was adapted for parallelism to the design process and presented to students as a step-wise technique for identification of the pertinent ethical issues, relevant moral theories, possible...

...Ethics Midterm Tia Chrzanowski While Aristotle takes a virtuous approach to most subjects by saying there is a “mean” to all extremes he feels that evil has no mean. All acts of evil are bad in every way. If I saw my best friends husband cheating on her I would absolutely tell her. While he admits that not every action nor every passion has a mean, some have names that already imply badness, these are bad and never right. I agree, adultery is adultery there is no right time or right circumstance that this would be ok. If this was the first time they had ever kissed or the one hundredth time it’s wrong. It can never be seen as being ok, cheating is seen as an extreme. If he felt the need to cheat he should go to her and maybe they need to separate or try and talk it out. Using Mill’s Utilitarian approach I would not tell my best friend I saw her husband cheating on her. Under Mill’s theory I would need my actions to promote happiness as happiness is the absence of pain. It would be painful for me to tell her as I would be hurting her, listening to her cry and wonder what may have happened. I would be causing pain to everyone involved. Morally the right thing would be to tell her what I witnessed but for the “Good” of everyone involved I would not be able too. It could possible break up their family and cause more turmoil. Hobbes theory of ethical egoism is based on self-interest. We should do what’s best for us at all times. If I’m on a sinking boat with 29 other...

...Midterm Name School QUESTION 1 Bonhoeffer seemed to ditch Christian ethics against other ethics because he tried to undermine the Christian ethical reflections when he stated that Christians were supposed to invalidate the knowledge of good and evil (Bonhoeffer, 21). This is because the knowledge of good and evil is the aim of ethical reflections. Bonhoeffer quoted this because he strongly believed that the tasks concerned with Christian ethics were not discerning the good and evil in the universal principles but the main goal of these Christian ethics being towards the restoration of the human desires to their original focus, God. The Christian ethics task did not show a good judgment between what was right and what was wrong and the Christians only get to know what is good through their conversions of their human desires towards God. This according to Bonhoeffer was that there was nothing like the existence of christian ethics because he never believed that Christianity really existed. Bonhoeffer further claimed that the Christian ethics differed greatly from the other types of ethics. The Christian ethics positions alone making it questionable as to whether it really exists or does not exist at all. Man only knows God and it is through the unity of the knowledge that he knows of the existence of God that he knows about other things, men, and also himself. This shows that man only knows about the existence of things in God. This knowledge of good and evil clearly shows...

...management class in 2008; a national survey published in Education Week found that 54% of the students surveyed admitted to Internet plagiarism and 76% admitted to cheating; and the Center for Academic Integrity found almost 80% of the college students surveyed admitted to cheating at least once (“Facts About Plagiarism,” 2011). In May 2006, Ohio University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering plagiarism scandal garnered national attention when a review panel found “rampant and flagrant” forms of plagiarism in 34 master’s theses (Grose, 2006); and in November 2010, more than 200 of the 600 students in a University of Central Florida business class confessed that they benefited from accessing online test questions prior to taking their midterm exam (The Ticker, 2010). These findings help corroborate the assertion that academic dishonesty—cheating and Internet plagiarism— is on the rise; consequently, these concerns have sparked numerous debates about academic dishonesty at institutions of higher education throughout the United States. Many institutions of higher education have adopted academic honesty...
