...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...

The primary responsibility of supervisions is to help professional socialization by instilling an understanding of the relevant ethical principles and standards to be a significant component in providing therapeutic rapports. The primary reasons for clinical supervisions are to ensure quality care and provide professional development in a systematic and planned manner. In todays’ society, clinical supervisions require a foundation in the understanding of the ethical and legal aspects of the supervisory relationship.

...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. Ethically the organization cannot be prejudice against age or gender the disease can affect anyone. The importances of the corporations’ ethical value are staying away from personnel...

...pass an ordinance to raise fines for littering across our town. In continuing to unite the community of Burleson, keeping this city beautiful plays a major part. Littering is just one way in which our town becomes less unified, so I would fight to stop this disrespect of our city. I would also try to organize more money into a budget for making our city more beautiful. This budget would cover more landscaping and maintenance projects across the community. Another thing I would do as mayor would be to set aside more money in our budget to go towards our city’s drug awareness program. It is sad heart-breaking and devastating to see so many of our promising teenagers and young adults turning to drugs, alcohol, and substance abuse. In strengthening this program, more and more teenagers could become aware of their reckless behavior and the affects that come with the decisions they make. By bringing about this awareness in our youth we can ultimately create a generation of, honest, engaged, and active members of our community. All of these ideas factor into uniting our town...

...The economy today is much more global than it was just a few decades ago and everyday there are more and more transactions of goods and services between different countries. Each country has their own advantages and disadvantages and because of this trading between countries is mutually beneficial. Having never left the southeast United States, I would definitely benefit from this grant so that I could see the world and give myself a better understanding of how the future of business will be like. With so many countries being involved with each other exchanging goods and services, it is essential to understand how these relationships work and what makes these transactions run as smoothly as they do. With any international business you are involved with people that have different cultures and beliefs than your own. Observing and seeing these differences first hand can do nothing but help the way that one communicates with people from other countries that you may be involved with. Studying abroad will not only improve communication skills with people from other countries but it can also change the way that you view your own thoughts and beliefs by being aware of how other people in the world live. Being surrounded by people your entire life that have similar ideas and beliefs as your own, can shelter you from opposing views. Being able to witness first hand the way others live will allow me to have a better understanding of different cultures and how to best live in the growing...

...Problem: Aqualisa creates a new breakthrough shower- the Quartz. The product has significant improvements when compared with the other existing products on the market, such as: * Efficient and reliable water pressure and temperature * One touch control on the wall * Light signaling the right temperature is achieved etc * Installation of the Quartz was about half a day (vs. 2 days for other showers) Survey shows that consumers and plumbers loved the product. However, initial sales are low, mainly due to low consumer awareness and plumbers’ reluctance to new products. Where does the problem lie in the funnel? Consumers are uninformed about showers, with little understanding of the products options. Thus, plumbers have a greater influence when selecting the brand, as only in 27% of the times consumers select type and brand of the shower, otherwise plumbers influence on the purchase. Lack of knowledge leads to lack of brand awareness. Options: 1. Targeting consumers directly: -Expensive to have a proper ad campaign (costs 3 to 4 M Euro) - The consumers decide only 27% of the time (ex 4) +Consumers could become more brand aware +Easier to reach consumers than plumbers 2. Targeting Do-It- Yourselfers -Lower-end part of the market thus will be price conscious, have to lower prices -The brand will be perceived as a lower quality brand, due to the new niche market +Could “push” the product through partnership (B&Q) thus have lower costs than running...

...Stages of Ego Development Jillian Whalen PSY/230 June 20, 2014 Chris Allen Shreve Stages of Ego Development Jane Leovinger created a method of recognizing which stage of ego development one may be in at any given age. A verbal sentence completion test is implemented to help the participant understand more about which one of the nine stages of development she may be experiencing at the time and what she needs to do in order to move on to the next stage. Each stage explains what level of maturity, acceptance, and understanding one may be in at the time of test completion. They also help the individual understand their internal feelings about environmental factors surrounding them and how these factors form the ego. Loevinger notes that not everyone reaches self-actualization and many may be stuck at certain stages. Stage one – The Pre-Social and Symbolic Stage: Because this stage occurs at infancy, it is not as understood as well as other stages because the child is non-verbal and unable to complete the sentence completion test. An infant’s ego, according to Loevinger, is most interested in gratifying immediate needs, such as feedings and diaper changes. She also notes that infants form a close bond with their primary care giver. While the child recognizes she is a different entity from the world that surrounds her, she has trouble distinguishing her own identity from the caregiver. Stage two- The Impulsive Stage Loevinger describes this stage in relation...

...personal experience of this kind. The author of this article had a friend who was driving down a country road texting while driving. He swerved left of center and hit a box truck head on and died instantly. Everyone in high school at the time knew him so it was quite devastating to the entire student body. There were grief counselors on site for a couple weeks after he passed away. This incident shows how a simple act can instantly affect everyone so quickly. There are more and more texting while driving injuries and deaths happening every day. A lot of these injuries and deaths are in states with lenient texting while driving laws. If communities in the states with these lenient laws helped raise awareness, people may think twice before texting while driving and also raising awareness could possibly lead to the chance to change some laws. Some people believe texting while driving laws make people have to hide their texting behind the wheel, thus making it more dangerous (Masnick, 2012). Regardless of opinions, studies show that there is a significant difference in the number of violations between states with lenient laws and states with strict laws (Masnick, 2012). Texting while driving laws are not strict enough in certain states, making citizens of those states not take texting while driving laws serious, which could possibly cause more accidents and even death....

...Definition: We are interested in counseling and helping abandoned rape victims in India, and change the society's perception of them. So we are considering holding a fashion show to raise money and awareness of this forgotten issue in the feminists’ agenda. Current Condition: The reason we are considering our CSR is because raped women in India are facing some serious issues concerning their well-being and welfare, but they are incapable of confronting and overcoming them on their own (George, 2015). We have already done some CSR ideas in the past. For example, earlier in 2012, to boost awareness of the Mitochondrial Disease, we hosted The Chanel Pour le Temps Charity Fashion Show which was a standout amongst the most foreseen occasions of the year (Chanel Pour le, 2012). Moreover, in 2013, a fashion show was held in Paris' Grand Palais demonstrating eco-friendly supplies and handiwork for their recent cloth collection (Reynolds, 2013). Due to Chanel’s hiatus of CSR activities, the idea is to bring the company an incredible social impact by advertising its name in the midst of the ongoing social justice campaigns and feminism movements. As it is a trademark that is made for women and by a woman, it is important for us to help these neglected women defeat their fears and restore hope in their hearts. Course of Action: Beneficiaries We chose India, or rather specifically northern India, for our new CSR because in 2011 a total of 24,206 rape cases were registered...
