...Applying Ethical Frameworks Name Institute Applying Ethical Frameworks Yes, I would like to take action regarding the situation. Different ethical frameworks allow me to take action so that the justice could be maintained. I used ethical frameworks so that the justice, equality, utilitarianism and other things could be continued. I would not like to give favor to my colleague who is telling me that I should not take action and keep myself away from such action. If I accept his suggestion of ignoring it may lead the negative consequences in the future. I am taking action because I know that if today I ignore it and relaxed him it means I am not giving favor to ethics. The concept of utilitarianism is ignored if I do not take action. The concept of Consequentialism does not allow me not to take action against because its consequences would be very severe. Other ethical virtues such as retribution and honesty allow me to take actions regarding such situation. The emotional empiricism also permits me to take actions regarding such dilemma. In emotional empiricism if I don’t take action it will always disturb my gut feelings, not to take action when there is great problem relevant to ethics. The deontological framework of ethics also gives me permission that I should take action so that I could fulfill oath requirements (Donaldson's & Dunfee's, 1994). The duty includes such type of actions which lay under my job domain. It is also suggested that I am responsible for...

...Applying Concepts Part One Matrices In the information technology field, teams use algebra in places where most are unaware. Normal users who use programs do not realize that computer-programming codes rely on mathematics to perform calculations. Calculations like a website calculating the mileage and how much gas a vehicle will use on a trip from AAA auto club is an example of a program using algebra calculations (American Automobile Association, n.d.). Other uses of algebra functions in the IT field or programming is the use of matrices or arrays. A simple example of the using matrices is in the writing of computer programs such as Java would be for calculating tables. A developer can write a program to calculate a student’s total and average scores for a class. Students Name Test 1 Test 2 Average Score Tom 89 93 91 Sue 75 90 82.5 Frank 88 84 86 Average Test score of students = 87.5 In the program, the developer will set up a matrix within the code by declaring the number lines and columns of the matrix (m x n). The program will then ask for input to fill in the matrix (Programming Simplified, 2011), for example: System.out.println (“Enter the first student’s name :”) System.out.println (“Enter the first students Test #1 score :”) After the user inputs the name and test score of the student, the program will then calculate the students score, an example of this code would be: averageScore = test1 * test2 The program will calculate the average score for...

...Applying Concepts Team D MTH-220 June 30, 2014 Wayne Neidhardt Applying Concepts Solve To solve and graph the equation provided using the system of inequalities formula, one must find the x and y intercepts. Our first equation will be written as 50x+20y+230≤ 1500. First to find our x intercept, we will let y=0. Our equation will be written as 50x+200+230=1500. Next we want to solve for x, by deducting 230 from 1500 and dividing 50 from both side to get x=1270/50. Our x intercept will be 25.4. To get our y intercept, we will let x=0. Our equation will be written as 500+20y+230=1500. Now we want to solve for y by deducting 230 from 1500 and dividing 20 from both side to get y=1270/20. Our y intercept will be 63.5. Overall our intercepts for the first equation will be (25.4, 0) (0, 63.5) For our next equation, we will be using the same concept to find the x and y intercepts. Our second equation will be written as 30x + 20y ≤ 500. To solve for x, we will let y=0, to get 30x+20(0) =500. Next divide by side by 30 to get x=500/30. Our x intercept will be 16.66 rounded off to get 16.7. To get our y intercept, we will let x=0 to get 30(0) +20y=500. Divide both side by 20 to get y=500/20. Our y intercept will be 25. Overall our second equation intercepts are (16.7, 0) (0, 25). Since both of our equations contains a greater than and equal to symbol, our line will be solid. Both of our equation will be shaded to the left because x and y is less than the proceeding number...

...Running head: Applying Leadership Theories Applying Leadership Theories in the School Setting Teresa E. McNair Grand Canyon University: EDA-574 September 28, 2011 Applying Leadership Theories in the School Setting As many of us already know, there are several variables in creating a successful school. A successful organization has one major attribute that sets it apart from unsuccessful organizations dynamic and effective leadership (Hersey, Blanchard, & Johnson, 2008). Leadership is defined as the process of influencing the activities of an individual or a group toward reaching goal achievement in a given situation (Hersey, Blanchard, & Johnson, 2008). For the past three decades, education has been going through a sustained period of reform and restructuring (Razik & Swanson, 2010). With these changes, leadership styles must undergo changes to keep up with the needs of the global society (Razik & Swanson, 2010). Experts do not agree on one leadership style or theory that should be implemented to achieve success. Many have decided that a combination of different theories based on needs will yield the best result. This essay will depict how different leadership theories apply to my school (Forest High School) setting as reflected from the leader’s behavior and actions. Applying Leadership Theories Individuals’ interest in leadership increased during the early part of the twentieth century. Early leadership theories focused on what qualities...

...Abstract Theory of constraints (TOC) is about thinking in logical, systematic, or structured processes similar to the PDCA learning loop and also about analyzing cause and effect, verifying basic assumptions, exploring alternatives and process improvement. The goal of TOC is to maximize the efficiency of a process selectively at the most critical points (constraints) and thereby maximize profitability. The purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive descriptive study on applying “Theory of Constraint” principles in improving the effectiveness of the service process that was limiting the entire service system. We have studied based on Schmenner’s classification of service organizations into four quadrants of service process matrix. Clear explanations supplemented by examples for each quadrant define how the theory works, why it works and what issues are resolved and what benefits are accrued. Introduction Operations management of services talks about how to plan, execute and improve service delivery so that more services are delivered faster and reliably with same/similar resources without compromising on quality. Services, in general, can be any of – Public Services, Professional Services, IT Services, Healthcare services, Banking/Insurance etc. Theory of Constraints, as proposed by Eli Goldratt, works well in a Manufacturing setup, but to replicate in a Service model requires adaption more than adoption. It should be accepted that trying to force a service organization...

...APPLYING AN ETHICAL THEROY FINAL PAPER ETHICS AND MORAL REASONING REBECCA WILSON JUNE 2, 2014 Applying an Ethical Theory How should employers treat their employees? While employees should be treated fairly but rarely should they be treated exactly the same, employers should treat employees fairly because when employees feel they are not administered fairly they lose respect for management , it causes buildup of resentment toward fellow coworkers , and when employees are not treated fairly they lose motivation for their work. It is an employer’s responsibility to treat all employees equally. First, Employers should treat employees fairly because when employees feel they are not administered fairly they lose respect for management. One reason this may occur could be that the employee was over looked for a promotion. The employee could have gotten a bad performance review that they don’t agree with. The employee could feel that favoritism is being shown to a coworker. Additionally, it causes buildup of resentment toward fellow coworkers. An employee could be being shown favoritism from a manager and be doing things that they should be getting reprimanded for but are not because of the relationship they have with this particular manager. For example the employee could be taking this manager out for dinner and drinks from time to time and in return the manager is looking out for that employee’s job. The manager could also be covering up this particular employees...

The increase of media reports of notorious murder by young people may skew the public perception of its actual prevalence. In our case study, we look at Mary Jo Buttafuoco who is murdered by a teenage girl at her home on Adam Road West Long Island, N.Y., on May 19, 1992. Moral Development Theory explanations of delinquency in which propositions identify certain concepts and describe and how they are related to delinquent behavior, this theoretically predicts relationships that may be tested through research. For instance, one simple proposition of differential association theory is that attitudes favoring delinquency may be learned in the context of inmate personal groups, in our case, the girl suggests to Mary Jo that they should have a talk about her husband, where she notices a car with a young man of which the girl claims to be her boyfriend. Mary Jo becomes upset and orders the girl to leave. The girl shoots her in the head without a second thought (Regoli, Hewitt, & DeLisi, 2014). The predicted relationship portrayed here is that youths develop attitudes, in this case we find...

...Applying Leadership Grand Canyon University EDA-575-0101- Educational Leadership in a Changing World October 1, 2014 ABSTRACT Leadership is very important in a school setting because it helps in the directing of a quality education and it can help with the development of future leaders through the educational system. Throughout any given educational institution, leadership theories are applied when developing leadership, based on the individual behavior and traits of your educators. Leadership theories are also applied based on the particular culture and climate of the learning institution. Utilizing multiple leadership theories will allow the educational leader an opportunity to determine what theories work, but for his or her school setting. The utilization of leadership theories will not only create future educational leaders, they will also contribute to the overall improvement of the school. MY CHOSEN LEARNING ENVIORNMENT I have chosen the school where I currently teach to serve as my main research school for the entirety of the course. I work at a high school call Jackson Central Merry Academy of Medical Technology in Jackson, Tennessee. JCMAMT is a public school in an urban lower-class neighborhood with a significant majority of African American and Hispanic students. There are many leadership theories that are consistently being used in my school setting.

...Applying Ethics in Business Judy Blair-Jackson Kaplan University Ethics in Business Since the past decade more companies are focusing on incorporating ethical principles in business transactions and decision-making. One of the factors that have caused this shift on ethical focus is the financial crisis in the corporate world. Many reputable companies, CEO’s, CFO’s, and auditors have been implicated for fraudulent business activities. It is hoped that if businesses focus on building an ethical culture in the organization this may act as a deterrent to management and employees engaging in unethical business transactions and decision-making. Schein (1985) posits that the “organization’s culture is a cognitive framework, consisting of attitudes, values, behavioral norms, and expectations shared by organization members” (as cited in Brooks & Dunn, 2012, p. 254). Organizational culture can positively or negatively affect employees’ behavior. Where there is no focus of management on ethical behavior, employees may get the wrong message about the company’s stance on ethical principles. On the other hand where management displays and discusses ethics with employees, this shows a commitment from them that the company’s values ethical principles and behaviors. Management’s commitment and support to ethical standards must be evident through their actions. Brooks & Dunn (2012) stated that “it is vital that organizations create an environment culture where appropriate shared...

...Running head: Applying Problem Solving Applying Problem Solving University of Phoenix Cultural Diversity PHL/215 Heather Hensell Applying Problem Solving When we face emergencies, deadlines, critical situations, and decisions, which call for action, often we respond to our instinct and just as often we make judgments in haste. No matter if the issues are personal, educational or business, occasionally we do not take the time to consult with those "who have been there, done that!" At times we do not investigate the resources available. In problem solving, following guidelines can save time and heartache. How effectively we use these guidelines will determine our chances for a positive resolution to the problem at hand. First, identify and clarify the problem; we must know the problem to solve it. Second, gather information; we must know all the details to come to the correct solution. Third, evaluate the evidence; things are not always as they seem, determine if the information is justifiable. Fourth, consider alternatives and implications; identify the strengths and weaknesses. Lastly, choose and implement the best alternative. In this paper I have chosen two situations that I will use persuasive thinking to solve the problem and the other I will use scientific thinking. The first problem that I will discuss is Racism, which can be defined as the hatred of one person by another or the prejudice that members...
