The counselor’s ability to cope with these and other issues is dependent, to a large degree, on their ability to weigh up the inherent risks...

...Bedrock of the Five Characteristics of the Army Profession CPT Marc Hurst Team 6 LOG-C3 Class 15-006 02 September 2015 Every day a new group of civilians recites the oath to become a Soldier, and every day a trained Army unit deploys to a specific location to execute a specific mission. The Army is constantly molding and shaping individuals through training, to solidify an understanding of what it means to be a professional. No longer is the Army considered just another job, it is considered a profession. ADRP 1 states, “The Army Profession is a unique vocation of experts certified in the design, generation, support, and ethical application of landpower, serving under civilian authority and entrusted to defend the Constitution and the rights and interests of the American people.”1 The Army bases this profession on five characteristics: trust, military expertise, honorable service, esprit de corps, and stewardship of the profession. These characteristics go hand and hand with each other with trust being the foundation of the framework; without trust, you cannot build the Army as a profession. As mentioned before, trust is the foundation of the framework of the Army Profession. In order to drive that point home, Gen. Ray Odierno states, “Our profession is built on the bedrock of trust.”2 All organizations must build their framework on ethical and moral principles. Our leaders use these ethical and moral principles daily in their...

Introduction Since Watson and Crick describe the structure of DNA in 1953, recent advances of technology have provided genetists a powerful tool to better understand the role of human genome in human diseases (Watson & Crick, 1953). Consequently, genetic testing has been becoming popular in clinical settings to identify underlying risk for disease in individual and family members. However, the outburst of genetic tests have led to some ethical issues arising from the ability to identify disease-associated genes. This article gives an overview of ethical theories...

...Code of Ethics Paper Jody Long HCS 435 June 21, 2010 Bob Vella Code of Ethics Paper The code of ethics is a list of rules and policies that is used to get acceptable behavior from members of a group, association, or profession. Each organization has its own code of ethics to work by. Not only does a code of ethics help with the confidence in the organization but also can show that members are committed to the ethical guidelines that are set before them. The code of ethics usually starts with a section that sets the purpose, aspirations, and goals of the organization. [ (Smith, 2010) ] American Nurses Association Code of Ethics The American Nurses Association was started in 1896. The American Nurses Association’s mission was to establish certain standards of nursing practice, promoting the rights of nurses in the workplace, advancing the economic and general welfare of nurses. The American Nurses Association is responsible for developing the Code of Ethics for nurses. The goals of the American Nurses Association is to protect the nurses and to teach nurses how to be a professional nurse and to respect the patients regardless of race, color, smell, or looks.

...Drakopoulou, PhD 01/30/2016 Abstract The American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA) has made a Code of Professional Conduct that establish an ethical standard for public accountants in the US. The Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (US. GAAP) wants to collaborate with IFAC in order to resettle the principle accounting standards, but the rules and the ethics for professional and the financial reporting statements make a big difference. According to the article “It's Time for Principles-Based Accounting Ethics”, the American Institute of certified public accountants (AICPA) established standards that public accountants in the United States need to follow. The article argues for this code of conduct to be replaced with a code of ethics, which the authors believe to be superior to the rules-based standards currently in place, and attempts to present a solution by centering the AICPA code rules around different virtues such as objectivity, integrity, inquisitiveness, loyalty, and trustworthiness and analyzing the rules-based standards. This paper will argue whether the authors are correct in stating that a code of ethics should do more than establish minimum acceptable standards; describe the five cardinal virtues of professional accountants; differentiate between the rules-based and principles-based accounting standards; and finally compare and contrast the AICPA’s code of Professional Conduct with the IFAC Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants....

...Ethical Health Care Issues In 1953, two scientists James Watson and Francis Click published the description of the double helix structure of the DNA. Little did they know that voyage from the double helix to The Human Genome Project (HGP) would become a reality. Fifty years later in 2003, National Institute Health accomplished mapping of 32,000 genes of the human genome. Gene mapping was a significant research that enabled researchers to focus on gene specific diseases and birth defects. More than 1000 research projects started inward voyage discovery of human kind rather outward exploration of the planets. Clinical research involving human beings have greater potential for risk of misusing the technology. Potential for misusing the genetic research and fear of unknown long term effects on the successive generations have sparked bioethics debates. Like abortion, gene mapping is a very controversial subject and both sides have strong views. For example, should a woman abort the pregnancy based on the abnormal genetic screening results? Genetic technology provides an enormous power within our grips and with this enormous power comes following the ethical standards. Ethical standards should be followed involving human subjects. Genetic screening standards should align with four ethical principles of: • Respect for the human autonomy, dignity, and obtaining informed consent • Genetic screening should cause the minimal amount of harm to the subject • Provides maximum benefit to...
