...Ethical Dilemma Wilbert Thacker CMGT/575 December 1, 2014 Gordon Hodgson Ethical Dilemma Ethical dilemmas, also known as a moral dilemmas, are situations in which there is a choice to be made between two options, 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 (Your Dictionary, 2014). As a project manager it is their job to manage and get to know their team. The CIO has informed the project manager that his/her team will be released and the department will be outsourced. In this situation the first step that should be taken is gathering all of the facts. The CIO has informed the project manager that their department would be outsourced and their team would be released but there was no reason provided. As a concerned project manager it is almost their obligation to research to what led up to this decision. A decision this drastic couldn’t have possibly be made over night. The main ethical issue here is it has to be a trust issue between the company they are providing the service for and the project management team. Most of those issues revolve around project management teams not completing a service on time or a service not meeting expectations. Many people will...

...The Complexity of Ethical Decision Making Former U.S. Supreme Court Justice Potter Stewart remarked, "Ethics is knowing the difference between what you have a right to do and what is right to do." In parsing out a virtuous ethical identity, psychologists strive to embrace several American Psychological Association [APA]-worthy overarching principles, to apply the enumerated guidelines within the Code of Ethics, and to cultivate personal and professional integrity in their quest to serve others. Furthermore, making an ethical commitment to placing the well-being of clients above one’s own personal feelings is paramount in providing effective therapeutic services that clients seek. However, the gentle human interplay of dependency, power, and will; the uniqueness and unpredictability of autonomous human beings; and the complexity of personality, behavior, and the inimitable experiences of each individual clearly drive and complicate the process of ethical decision-making. In espousing the “very highest ethical ideals of the profession (Hill, 2008),” eventually every psychologist must find a way to merge her purely objective, linear, and rational ethical catechism with her own intuitive responses to best reflect and balance her style, therapeutic orientation, and professional belief system with the needs of each distinct client. Conversely, a purely sensate approach to ethical decision-making, it seems, relies too heavily on subjectivity, whimsy, and emotions...

...nurse, ethical dilemmas can arise at any moment. It is imperative that through proper education and training registered nurses have the ethical capacity and intelligence to work through these issues with compassion and integrity. Take into account he following case scenario; a 6-year-old child develops a high fever, vomiting, and convulsions at school. After seeking medical care, the diagnosis of meningitis is reached and the physician requests to start treatment from the child’s parents. The parents are divorced; the mother has primary custody but is not the biological parent. The mother is a Christian Scientist who insists that no medical treatment be initiated per her religious beliefs. The biological father resides in another state, but he insists that treatment be initiated and seeks independent consultation from another physician. Through ethical decision making with assistance from Uustal’s nine-step model, it is possible to identify the ethical dilemma presented, integrate the decision-making model to identify an ethical solution, and incorporate family dialogue to both parents of the child regarding the issue at hand. When an ethical decision must be made, one must first identify the ethical dilemma. "...An ethical dilemma is a common type of situation that involves two, or more, morally correct courses of action that cannot both be followed” (Purtilo, Ruth & Doherty, 2011, p. 57). Ethical dilemmas involve both ethical conflict and conduct. "An ethical dilemma occurs...

...Option 2: EthicsGame Dilemmas ETH/316 Option 2: EthicsGame Dilemmas Introduction The project that was presented included the application of personal values in working through two different ethical dilemmas. In order to work through each of the dilemmas two analytical skill sets were used to come to a resolution. The first skill set involved the use of the four ethical lenses. The lenses include the Results Lens, Rights/Responsibility Lens, Relationship Lens, and Reputation Lens. The second skill involves the use of the Baird Decision Model which is a five-step process that gives a systematic approach to the resolution of an ethical dilemma. The five steps of the Baird Decision Model include: * Step 1: Be Attentive * Step 2: Be Intelligent * Step 3: Be Reasonable * Step 4: Be Responsible * Step 5: Be Reflective The combination of the ethical lenses with the decision model provides the groundwork to come up with, good value based, solutions to ethical conflict (Rian Brown, 2014). Mysterious Blogger The first ethical conflict that was presented was that of the “Mysterious Blogger.” In this simulation the Director of Information Technology, who is responsible for managing all internal information system functions which include systems programming, application programming, networks, and computer operations, is presented with an employee who is leaking the proprietary company information to the public through a blog sight as an anonymous...

...Ethical Dilemma Analysis Paper Making A Difference In analyzing the ethical dilemma in this case, I take cognizance of the environment in which my organization operates and I understand that the moral standards of behavior differ among individuals. I also recognize that moral problems in business are complex and difficult to resolve. I employed the application of Hosmer’s rule in my analysis of the ethical problems so as to reach an objective decision. The question arising from this case can be viewed and analyzed in two different dimensions. Both dimensions would however reach the same or similar conclusions. Why do I have to sign a document realizing that some of the fund is going for bribery? One dimension of analyzing this is to assume the whole decision making process is based on my appending the signature on the document – and not subject to further questioning. Another dimension is that even if I append my signature, the project is still subject to further testing and approval. Based on the premise that the road project will not executed if I do not sign the inflated contract document, and choosing not to sign, some groups are going to be hurt or harmed in ways outside their control while others will be benefited or helped. The right and benefit of residents of Maryland local government area to have their roads constructed will be denied. Even, delay in implementing this project will hurt this group. The construction company, ABC will also be hurt by losing the...

...Most of the time when nurses face situations that neither would benefit the decision maker or the individuals involved, it becomes an ethical dilemma. When Arthur refused to perform an activity and the personal support worker (PSW) proceeded anyway, it violated autonomy for his care. Arthur struck the PSW and the PSW hit Arthur back. Clearly, it compromised the client’s well-being when the assault occurred. In long term-care facilities, PSW’s needed to maintain specific routines for the day. However, when clients refuse and does not meet the PSW’s schedule, it is neither acceptable to disrespect a client’s refusal nor coerce the client in performing activities against their will. Additionally, striking a client is abuse. According to CNO,...

...Week 7 Ethical Dilemma Paper Jered Gordner Professor Cuzzone HUMN-232 Week 7 Ethical Dilemma Paper As with many industries today, the healthcare industry is fraught with ethically dilemmas one can be involved with on an almost ongoing, daily basis. Since there are so many different arms and hands in so many different cookie jars, it’s easy to get lost in all the ethical dilemmas that could amass before your very eyes. On the professional side of the equation you may run into the dilemma of having a child from humble beginnings, without the means to pay, become struck down with a disease undocumented and unlike anything that is currently on the books. Do you treat the child pro-bono or do you let them go untreated and more than likely die? On the insurance side (something I’ve personally run into) one of the men in a gay couple, who has been together for 30 years, is in the hospital and the other man needs to know the medication his partner is on so the pharmacy will release it to him. Since they are not legally married they do not have the same rights and access to information as a straight married couple. Do you go against HIPAA and release the information or do you withhold it because of the law? These two dilemmas are not uncommon in the health industry. Doctors and nurses come across patients with no insurance on a daily basis and more often than not, they are forced to turn them away untreated. This ethical decision can weigh heavily on their heads. I find this...

...Ethical Dilemma Paper Ronda Brininstool November 4, 2013 CJA/324 Ethical dilemma is what these parents are facing when it comes to their 10 year old daughter Sarah Murnaghan. Sarah is in the end stages of her fight with cystic fibrosis at the Children’s hospital of Philadelphia. Doctors are saying her only way of being able to survive is with a lung transplant from another human. Since children’s lung transplants are in far and few between the only hope she has is to get an adult lung transplant and there are laws in place to stop that from happening. Without this transplant from an adult which is easier to come by then a child Sarah only have a few weeks to live. Because there is a policy in place that stops Sarah from getting an adult lung transplant she can only receive a transplant from another child. And children lungs are not readily available so Sarah’s parents are asking that she be able to receive an adult lung transplant and Sarah’s doctors are saying that it will be a success and that she would survive if she received one. Yet she cannot receive one because of the policy in place. Her parents are racing against the clock to ask law makers to make an exception this one time. There are several lawmakers that are joining Sarah’s fight to change the law so that she can receive a lung to be able to grow up and becoming an adult. Rep. Lou Barletta, R-PA is asking that the rules against Sarah receiving an adult lung be suspended until the policy can...

Officer Ben Fields from the Richard county sheriff's department lost his job after he was witness throwing a student across the room during an altercation. The officer was called to the classroom after an unruly student had refused several times to stop using her phone and to leave the classroom. Officer Fields is seen struggling and consequently tossing a student off her chair by what it appears to be excessive force. The student repeatedly refused to stop using her cellphone. The student the strikes the officer several times on the neck are when the officer attempts to remove her from the classroom using physical force. This is when the officer is seen dragging her and tossing her across the room, and finally subduing the student by placing her on mechanical wrist restraints. The ethical dilemma here is the actions taken by the school resource officer Deputy Fields. He repeatedly directed the student to surrender the cell phone device and then to leave the room. He then used means of physical force and physically handle a student resulting on the tossing around of the same. Is believe that the officer was justified during the entire process up to the point when he is seen throwing the student across the room in what it appears an unorthodox method. The question that emerge after...

...Ethical Dilemma 1: The ethics of war starts by assuming that war is a terrible thing and should be avoided at all costs. War is bad because it involves deliberately killing or injuring someone and when is that ever okay? Doing this is an abuse of the victim’s human rights. War ethics were created to help decide if going to war over something is right or wrong. War ethics also leads to the creation of formal codes of war, the Hague and Geneva conventions, the drafting and implementation of rules of engagement for soldiers, and in the punishment of soldiers and others for war crimes. The only way to wage a war is if it is a just cause to into it and if there is a probable chance of being successful. Innocent people and non-combatants should...

...I chose to write about abortion as my ethical dilemma, because it certainly has cross cultural implications and strong differing opinions. The act of abortion involves terminating a fetus before it gets to a certain level of maturity in the embryo and removing it from the uterus. It often results in the death of the fetus, but it can also be necessary due to the previous death of the fetus before the abortions was preformed. In the United States, and all over the world, there is a hot debate over weather abortion should be legal or not, and weather a woman should have control over weather she wishes to carry a baby to term or not. Those who are pro-life in the United States belief that at conception a fetus is a human with rights who must...
