...towards “education, welfare rights, equality of opportunity, pay and conditions…” (Weedon, 1997, p. 1). Feminists believed in autonomy, were for the anti-discrimination legislations and gender-neutral laws and politics (Paterman, 2000). Specifically looking at the feminist values of Welfare, women’s identity, the fight to be seen as a full citizen and Wollstonecraft’s Dilemma (Paterman, 2000) and the decisions made around them, gives a clear insight into the ideological position of Feminism. * Feminists focus on three types of independency; safety (for both themselves and their country), citizenship (gained through property ownership and ability to sell their labour) and ability to self govern (not have the male of the house bring the money home and make the decisions) (Paterman, 2000, p. 135). However, both Britain and Australian governments prevented any of these to happen, as the patriarchal welfare state did not support women to work in paid employment, nor did it support women to have control of the money. During this period of time women were seen to live with their husbands and children as a family, where they would be supported financially and kept safe. For the women whom choose to divorce their husbands, Peterman (2000) discovered that “after divorce, United States reveals, a women’s standard of living can fall by nearly 75 percent, whereas a man’s can rise by nearly half. “ (p 137). These significant figures lead to a radical change in the welfare state with women...

...Ethical Decision Making Process: The Case Study of Gentry As counselors, we are responsible for promoting the mental, emotional and physical well-being of our clients. Sometime promoting the welfare of clients is not as simplistic and straightforward as it is in textbooks. There will be times when we, as counselors, face the challenge that is an ethical dilemma. When deciding how to manage these types of situations there are ethical, legal and moral considerations. The American Counseling Association has established the ethical guidelines for counselors. The legal obligations counselors must adhere to are established by the federal government and state legislation. Moral principles that counselors reflect upon are autonomy, nonmaleficence,...

While considering the foundation set forth by those professionals with wisdom, experience and knowledge whom submitted a draft for approval, the American psychological association created an empirically developed code that was based on ethical dilemmas. Although the American Psychological Association had been in existence since 1892 with no formal code of ethics for over 59 years, there was a scientific /professional ethics, and code of conduct observed in 1950. A survey was used to gather actual descriptions of professional activities providing that guideline which set precedence for years to come in the APA profession. This was done with the hopes that these ethical standards would continue to grow for many years and could be based on daily decisions by professionals. Ethical dilemmas investigated were pertaining to the rights of participants, over informed consent; data not presented without informed consent, public presentation without informed consent all these pertaining to the clients. Typical dilemmas focusing on...

...Introduction Whistle blowing is a term used to describe a person who reports a wrongdoing to a superior or an authority figure in order to stop the offense. At first thought whistle blowing may seem like an easy decision, but it can easily materialize into a difficult ethical dilemma. In a healthcare environment nurses are expected to put the welfare of there patients first, but what if the consequence of blowing the whistle is committing career suicide? Nurses need to know about this ethical dilemma so when a situation, such as the aforementioned, arises they will know what to do and hopefully make the right decision. This topic really appealed to me because I believe that it is an issue that all nurses will be faced with one day. Additionally it goes against everything I was taught growing up, I was raised to never “taddle tell” or as I got older to never “snitch”. As I now pursue a career in nursing theses rules no longer apply, and the safety and welfare of my patients must come first. Review of Literature One study conducted by Professor Firth-Cozens (2003) asked over 1,700 nurses and doctors “would you blow the whistle on a colleague?” Professor Firth-Collins and his team also explored the factors that go along with whistle blowing; these factors included the fear of retribution, the uncertainty of judging another’s competence and the desire to support other colleagues (“Would you”, 2003). The results were interesting as differences between doctors and nurses were...

...SEGi University American Degree Program IPS 100 U.S Government Spring 2013 Sarah Shakeera Sharani SCM The U.S Government should not ban abortion. 27th February 2013 Contents Introduction…………………………………………………………………………. 3 The dilemma………………………………………………………………………… 4 The Ideology………………………………………………………………………… 5 Conclusion…………………………………………………………………………... 8 Reference……………………………………………………………………………. 10 Introduction The issue on abortion has always been a world-renowned issue that is highly debated among the government, the liberals and the conservatives. The battle between choosing order or freedom has been a question that many cannot answer as the pros and cons in this issue are at an equal balance. An individual’s moral and religious view are questioned when it comes to this issue as well as a women’s right to choose. The two groups that come into play in this issue is those who supports the pro-life movement and those who supports the pro-choice movement. The pro-life movement is against abortion because they believe that the unborn child has to right to choose whether to be born and the mother does not have the right to terminate a life. The pro-choice movement supports abortion because they believe that a mother should be given the right to choose whether or not to bring a life into this world. Whatever the reason it may be for an individual to choose between being against and supporting abortion, the decision to ban abortion is in the hands of the government...

...ongoing process, and is subject to change based on what we feel is most important to us. Life is full of twists and turns and may cause us to readjust our priorities. However, as a human service professional it is important to understand what our values are and how we can benefit those that we serve. I value doing things that help me live a healthier lifestyle. I understand that it is important to take care of myself by eating healthy, exercising, and doing my best to alleviate stress. If I don’t take care of myself I will not be in any shape to help anyone else. When I was younger my values were materialistic. I was more concerned about what I wanted for myself only. When I grew up, got married, and had a child my values changed. The welfare of my family became my top priority. There are many sources that have helped to shape my values during the course of my life. First, I give credit to God for helping to me realize the things that are important in life. My parents were very instrumental in helping me to develop ideals that are geared towards helping others. They taught me about sharing and giving to others without prejudice or condition. The pastor of my church continues instill those values in me every week. One event that really helped to shape my values was September 11, 2001. I was living in New York and working in New Jersey. I was watching the morning news when the twin towers were attacked. That experience opened my eyes in a whole new way. It reminded me not to...

...1.1 Define a duty of care: is a requirement that a person act toward others and the public with watchfulness, attention, caution and prudence that a reasonable person in the circumstances would. If a person’s actions do not meet this standard of care, then the acts are considered negligent and any damages resulting maybe claimed in a law suit as negligence. 1.2 Describe how the duty of care affects your own work role: We have a duty of care to our client’s health and welfare. I have duty of care to make sure my client’s needs are meet on my duty shift: including the health, welfare, emotional and physical needs, dietary needs, personal hygiene, medication and safety. I must only do what I have been trained to do and must engage all other services available to manage any client needs I have not been trained for i.e: a doctor in case of illness, a podiatrist in a case where toe nails need cut etc. 2.1 Describe dilemmas that may arise between the duty of care and an individual’s rights: Any individual can refuse to take prescribed medication or refuse to have test for illness. An individual has the right to refuse treatment. All individuals have this right unless incapacity to consent has been proved that the individual does not have the capacity to choose for themselves, capacity must be assumed in all cases until capacity has been assessed by a professional. It can be hard to support a client with this, it can be extremely difficult to watch a client refuse treatment when...

...The Heinz Dilemma The Heinz Dilemma was created by Lawrence Kohlberg to help identify moral development, that are stories of moral dilemmas about a man named Heinz who was from Europe. (McLeod, 2013)These theories extended Piaget's, John Dewey's, and James Mark Baldwin's research of children's moral development. (Barger, 2000)“These men had emphasized that human beings develop philosophically and psychologically in a progressive fashion.” (Barger, 2000) So with the combination of Piaget's theories and his own dilemma ideas, Kohlberg came up with the Heinz Dilemma. (McLeod, 2013) In the Heinz Dilemma there are six stages of moral behavior and how the individual justifies their behavior. The three stages broken down by two per stage making...

...Sime Darby's scandal 2010-11-18 12:20 World's leading listed plantation company Sime Darby has just celebrated its 100th anniversary and it has once again become a focus recently due to a project cost overrun scandal involving malpractices. When Sime Darby was said to have suffered a loss of RM2.1 billion in May this year, the market was shocked as Sime Darby has been a giant multinational conglomerate involved in five core sectors with a total annual turnover of about RM33 billion. Even the largest listed company is facing a management problem, we can actually imagine the situation of other government-linked companies (GLCs). It has seriously affected the confidence of investors in the stock market and supervision of the authorities. There are questionable points in its four projects, including the Maersk Oil Qatar (MOQ) Project which has lost RM526 million and the Bakun hydroelectric dam project which has caused a loss of RM340 million. Sime Darby decided to take civil action against certain individuals found culpable over the severe losses. It has reflected the seriousness of the situation and the Malaysian Anti-Corruption Commission (MACC) should also take actions. The government must disclose the internal audit report of Sime Darby to tell the people the truth. Over the years, losses suffered by the GLCs would just be left unsolved without even an investigation. For example, the Bumiputera financial scandal in the early 1980s had caused the country a loss of RM2...

...Ethical dilemmas, also known as a moral dilemmas, are situations in which there are two choices to be made, neither of which resolves the situation in an ethically acceptable fashion. In such cases, societal and personal ethical guidelines can provide no satisfactory outcome for the chooser. Ethical dilemmas assume that the chooser will abide by societal norms, such as codes of law or religious teachings, in order to make the choice ethically impossible. So in the Barbara Whitley case, Barbara was given to calculate vouchers of sample of all items over $20,000 plus a judgmental sample of smaller items.However the items over $20,000 contained no misstatements; however, the 50 small items she selected contained a large number of misstatements.When Barbara projected them to all such additions, the amount seemed quite significant.Jack Bean,the senior told Barbara its not our concern but being given responsible to audit the financial statement,Barbara Whitley has the moral rights and obligations to report the misstatement.In this way it is a ethical dilemma for Barbara Whitley. Answer to part B Six Steps To Resolve Ethical Dilemmas in Barbara Whitley case are: 1. Identify the Problem A. Gather as much relevant information as possible. B. Talk to the parties involved. C.

Evaluate the rights, responsibilities and welfare of...

...Mill's Utilitarianism: Sacrifice the innocent for the common good? When faced with a moral dilemma, utilitarianism identifies the appropriate considerations, but offers no realistic way to gather the necessary information to make the required calculations. This lack of information is a problem both in evaluating the welfare issues and in evaluating the consequentialist issues which utilitarianism requires be weighed when making moral decisions. Utilitarianism attempts to solve both of these difficulties by appealing to experience; however, no method of reconciling an individual decision with the rules of experience is suggested, and no relative weights are assigned to the In deciding whether or not to torture a terrorist who has planted a bomb in New York City, a utilitarian must evaluate both the overall welfare of the people involved or effected by the action taken, and the consequences of the action taken. To calculate the welfare of the people involved in or effected by an action, utilitarianism requires that all individuals be considered equally. Quantitative utilitarians would weigh the pleasure and pain which would be caused by the bomb exploding against the pleasure and pain that would be caused by torturing the terrorist. Then, the amounts would be summed and compared. The problem with this method is that it is impossible to know beforehand how much pain would be caused by the bomb exploding or how much pain...

...that can help overcome this dilemma are universal healthcare, practicing a laissez-faire approach, which would entitle people to pay for all health care needs, or finding a compromise between the two which I believe is a two tiered system. Among the more industrialized countries, the US does not offer a full range of health services sponsored by the government and presents itself as a laissez-faire society compared to a welfare-based system such as that of Britain and Canada who both provide their citizens with universal healthcare. The Dilemma does not only end at healthcare brings up the issue of equality among all people, rich or poor; the rich don’t want to wait for services and are willing to pay to jump the line all the while poor people are not able to pay thus the issue of equality arises. I believe the alternative, a two tired system, is the best solution not only in terms of healthcare but all services, if there is a market for private institutes in any area it should be offered as an alternative and I believe this type of system will cater to people in any social class. (I have all this evidence I need your help to tell me what my arguments are because I write all this information down and you can get my arguments out of my evidence but its not bluntly stated and that’s what I am suppose to do) Great Britain has had legislation on poor-law relief, from which the British public has become used to state involvement through a welfare system. It provides help for...

...How Technology and Automation Affect Employment, the Economy, and You By Cody Ferenchak March 16th 2015 Automation is definitely a topic of concern in almost all of today’s industries. Especially for those in the service industry. Automation is making the processes used in the product and service industry less labor intensive and more productive. Over the last three decades manufacturing companies in the industrialized world have seen what great change automation is bringing to the world in terms of production. Assembly lines in the automotive industry are faster than ever. Electronics such as the iPhone are being constructed in just minutes due to hands of automated robotics. Upgrading to automated technology is becoming more and more accepted. Companies are spending much time and resources on implementing the use of automated labor to cope with the increasing competition from non-industrialized countries whose production costs are much lower. Where there were once hundreds of thousand of laborers filling factories assembling the everyday technological, textile, and household products we use today; are now machines that require no hourly wage, only monthly to sometimes yearly maintenance, up-keep and energy costs. The world of industry we are currently living in has changed. From labor-intensive production, to capital-intensive automation. Not only are we focusing on the tangible side of production, also the many intangible service industries are experiencing change. There...
