...Morality is defined as “morally permitted or warranted, supported by the balance of human reason” (Corlett 114). Meaning that moral justification must not be based on the mindset of any terrorist, but must be judged with all things and persons considered. In further explanation, this premise maintains that one man’s terrorist, cannot be another man’s freedom fighter for the reason that morality entails all persons considered and not just two opposing parties interests. Immanuel Kant, in his Groundwork for the Metaphysics of Morals, also supports this necessity in morality stating “moral laws must hold for every rational being” (Kant 325). Kant further his claim by positing that a morally valid action, is an action completed out of necessity and is valid “as a basis of obligation” (Kant 314). Reason therefore solidifies the universal moral need to comply with the law. In addition to the moral parameter, a neutral and holistic framework of what the moral nature and conditions of terrorism are must be...

...Queensland's institutional response to undesired pregnancy which introduces legal barriers that impede access to abortion highlights the most pervasive manifestation of unjustified discrimination against women's human rights. FEOTUAL RIGHTS Moral philosophy poses queries that question if abortion is morally permissible with the central contemporary argument regarding moral permissibility of abortion turning to the moral status of the human foetus. To intentionally kill a foetus is a paradigm case of an act that causes immense moral disfigurement to the mother ultimately serving as morally impermissible . Pro-life literature contends that retaining the intrinsic potential to develop into an individual suffices for an organism to be both ontologically and morally a person already . More generally it expounds that a foetus can exercise its right to life due to the potential to become a rational adult and thus as a result society has reason to confer legal rights upon...

...in various ways to the vast domain of human sexuality. That is, they are related, on the one hand, to the human desires and activities that involve the search for and attainment of sexual pleasure or satisfaction and, on the other hand, to the human desires and activities that involve the creation of new human beings. For it is a natural feature of human beings that certain sorts of behaviors and certain bodily organs are and can be employed either for pleasure or for reproduction, or for both. The philosophy of sexuality explores these topics both conceptually and normatively. Conceptual analysis is carried out in the philosophy of sexuality in order to clarify the fundamental notions of sexual desire and sexual activity. Conceptual analysis is also carried out in attempting to arrive at satisfactory definitions of adultery, prostitution, rape, pornography, and so forth. Conceptual analysis (for example: what are the distinctive features of a desire that make it sexual desire instead of something else? In what ways does seduction differ from nonviolent rape?) is often difficult and seemingly picky, but proves rewarding in unanticipated and surprising ways. Normative philosophy of sexuality inquires about the value of sexual activity and sexual pleasure and of the various forms they take. Thus the philosophy of sexuality is concerned with the perennial questions of sexual morality and constitutes a large branch of applied ethics. Normative...

...Ethical Treatment of Participants Business 600 March 11, 2016 Abstract This paper examines the ethical treatment of participants in business research which includes the researcher, the decision maker, and the participant. Each has an obligation to the research study and by exhibiting ethical behavior, the data results will determine accurate information that the decision maker can use for their company. If there is a presence of unethical behavior like lying, deception, coercion, not fully being educated or aware of the study details, it can result in the damaging consequences for not only the participants, but it can also affect the shareholders of the company, the customers buying the product, and even the employees of the store that sells the product. This paper will go into detail of the many obligations each participant has to themselves as well as others. We cannot allow some people to be left at the back of the human rights bus… We must ensure the rights of individual groups or people –be they indigenous peoples, or peoples of Asian or African or American descent, or Jews or Muslims– are not sacrificed on an altar of progress for some while there are setbacks to others. -Matthew Coon Come, National Chief of The Assembly Of First Nations (Catalyst Centre, 2013). Research can open doors and allow for interests to be pursued, solve a problem that a company has, or it can help enhance a plan that is already in place. Applied research specifically emphasizes...

However, he will know nothing of the branches of law (law of tort and criminal law) which gives...

...Utilitarianism is a moral principle that holds that the morally right course of action in any situation is the one that produces the greatest balance of benefits over harms for everyone affected. So long as a course of action produces maximum benefits for everyone, utilitarianism does not care whether the benefits are produced by lies, manipulation, or coercion (Andre,Velazques). Gene G. James in his book Business Ethics:Readings and Cases in Corporate Morality, defines whistle blowing as, “the attempt of an employee or former employee of an organization to disclose what he or she believes to be wrongdoing in or by the organization” (Griffin). How does one choose if wrongdoing has happened in a utilitarianistic view? To present the process of utilitarian theory in a whistleblowing case, I ran across documentation referencing Ford Motor Company’s manufacturing of the Ford Pinto the early 1970’s. Petersen and Farrell discuss the ethical dilemmas faced by engineers highlighted by the 1980 Winamac, Indiana trial of Ford Motor Company (1986, p.3). The Pinto was created as a response to the Japanese competition emerging in the US. Due to competition, Ford was eager to get the subcompact car released in 1971. Changes were made, and Ford was able to reduce the lead time of production by a year and a half to get the car on the road. Frank Capps, a principal design Engineer charged that management’s weight and price goals along with time requirements resulted in engineers having to place...

...An analysis of some of the ethical concepts identified from the American Nursing Association (ANA) code of ethics The American Nursing Associations (ANA) code of ethics for nurse practitioners was first adopted in 1950 with the sole purpose of reinforcing the ethical obligations of every individual who joins the nursing profession (American Nurses Association, 2001). The document provides a detailed and explicit elaboration of the ethical duties that nurses are expected to fulfil in their day to day routine undertakings as nurses. The following paper attempts to analyze some of the ethical concepts identified in the ANA code of ethics for nurses in the United States. Found in the first provision of the ANA code of ethics, the right to...

...Outline the moral arguments against capital punishment. 1. The death penalty has been distributed in a discriminatory manner because African American or poorer defendants are more likely to be executed than equally guilty others, especially when the victim is white (Russell 1998: 134). 2. Miscarriages of justice occur and the innocent are executed. The American Bar Association (ABA) has urged the appointment of experienced, competent, and adequately compensated trial counsel for death penalty cases and has lobbied for the adoption of its Guidelines for the Appointment and Performance of Counsel in Death Penalty Cases. Clearly, the ABA believes that standard professional qualifications are insufficient for capital cases. 3. The death penalty expresses a desire for vengeance—a motive too volatile and indifferent to the concept of justice to be maintained in a civilized society. The notion that revenge can stand as a motive for official policy on punishment is entirely inconsistent with a rational system of justice conducted by the state on behalf of society (Bedau 1999: 50). 4. Capital punishment is considered to be degrading to human dignity and inconsistent with the principle of the sanctity of life. The argument is that human life, having infinite value, should be respected and protected and that even murderers’...

...Ethical issues regarding the use of Performance Enhancing Drugs in Sports In the history of 20th century sports, specifically in the post World War 2 era, there has been an ever increasing use of performance enhancing drugs in all avenues of sport. Sports have become money making machine for both athletes and big business and the “win at all costs” attitude which has permeated itself into all aspects of professional and college level athletics. Winners make money, losers don’t. The temptation of fame, notoriety and million dollar contracts in all venues of sport is a lure for many athletes. Elite professional athletes are worshiped in today’s society. This paper will elaborate on the use of performance enhancing drugs in the sporting world and the associated sports ethical issues. It is a majority belief in all sporting circles that the “true” spirit of sportsmanship does not allow any aspect of performance enhancing drugs. There are several arguments both in favor and against the use of performance enhancing drugs which will be presented and discussed in this paper. While addressing this ethical issue, we need to define the term ethics. Ethics can be defined as the socially accepted norms and values. These norms and values are varied from society to society and are based on culture and tradition. Ethics also could be defined as the unsaid, un-written and understood laws that prevail in a society. Ethics also cover what is right and what is wrong in society and teaches...

...FACTS George is an employee of the Charlotte Bobcats, a Charlotte, North Carolina basketball team. George has a valid contract that guarantees his job for 5 more years. His boss, Jerry, want him out now. Jerry begins to take extreme measures to make George so uncomfortable at work that he has no choice but to vacate his position. Allegations include: depriving George of air conditioning in the middle of July, alienating George from his coworkers through coercion by Jerry, and the recording and playing of George’s personal phone calls over the company loudspeaker. George decides to take measures to sue Jerry for intentional infliction of emotional distress for the above allegations. ISSUE Under North Carolina law, do the above allegations fulfill the basis for liability of intentional infliction of emotional distress? RULE Under North Carolina law as iterated in Stanback v. Stanback, 297 N.C. 181, 196 (N.C. 1979), Liability arises under this tort when a defendant’s conduct exceeds all bounds usually tolerated by decent society and the conduct causes mental distress of a very serious kind.” Courts also outline the elements needed for a successful tort in the area of intentional infliction of emotional distress in the case of Holloway v. Wachovia Bank & Trust Co., N.A., 339 N.C. 338 (N.C. 1994), “The essential elements of a claim for intentional infliction of emotional distress are 1) extreme and outrageous conduct by the defendant 2) which is intended to and does in...

...book keeping misrepresentation is a noteworthy issue that is raising both in its recurrence and seriousness. Exploration confirmation has demonstrated that these developing number of fakes have made undermined the trustworthiness of monetary reports, added to generous financial misfortunes, and disintegrated speculators' certainty with respect to the handiness and dependability of money related articulations. The expanding rate of these sort of law violations need to get hardened punishments, excellent disciplines, and powerful requirement of law with the right soul. An endeavor is made to inspect and investigate inside and out the Satyam Computer's "inventive bookkeeping" embarrassment, which conveyed to spotlight the significance of "morals and corporate administration" (CG). The extortion submitted by the authors of Satyam in 2009, is a demonstration of the way that "the art of behavior is influenced in huge by human eagerness, aspiration, and crave influence, cash, acclaim and wonderfulness". Dissimilar to Enron, which sank because of "organization" issue, Satyam was conveyed to its knee because of "burrowing" impact. The Satyam embarrassment highlights the significance of securities laws and CG in "developing" markets. Without a doubt, Satyam misrepresentation "prodded the administration of India to fix the CG standards to anticipate repeat of comparative cheats in future". Therefore, major monetary reporting fakes need to be considered for "lessons-educated" and "methodologies...

...classified under two categories: (1) Crimes under the Indian Penal Code (IPC), which include seven crimes: (i) rape, (ii) kidnapping and abduction, (iii) dowry deaths, (iv) torture physical and mental (including wife battering), (v) molestation, and (vi) sexual harassment, and (vii) importation of girls. (2) Crimes under Special and Local Laws (SLL), which include seventeen crimes, of which the important ones are: (i) immoral traffic (1956 and 1978 Act), (ii) dowry prohibition (1961 Act), (iii) committing Sati (1987 Act), and (iv) indecent representation of women (1986 Act). It is equally important to clarify the concept of 'violence' against women. If we take 'violence' as "conduct which incurs the formal pronouncements of the moral condemnation of the community," or "deviation from conduct norms of the normative groups", the scope of cases of 'violence against women' becomes too broad. Narrowly, the term 'violence' has been applied to "physically striking an individual and causing injury" (Kempe, 1982; Gil, 1970), to "the act of striking a person with the intent of causing harm or injury but not actually causing it" (Gelles and Strauss, 1979), to "acts where there is the high potential of causing injury" (Strauss, 1980), and to "acts which may not involve actual hitting but may involve verbal abuse or psychological stress and suffering". Megargee (1982: 85) has defined violence as the "overtly threatened or overtly accomplished application of force which results...

...2. Select one of the case studies in our textbook (chapters 1-2) and discuss how and why you would make a decision you would consider to be ethical. (refer to the case study analysis steps we discussed in class) Why is your chosen case study important for the study of ehics in the workplace? Slavery in the Chocolate Industry: The Ivory Coast in Africa produces much of the world’s cocoa beans, but in order to do so cheaply, thousands of cocoa farms use child slavery. Many large American chocolate companies knowingly purchase these tainted cocoa beans, also in order to keep costs low. The stakeholders in this case study are child slaves, the farmers, the distributors, and the chocolate manufacturing corporations and the consumers. The slaves keep the costs low for the farmers and the corporations. The distributors gather the cocoa beans from the small farms. The chocolate manufactures produce the goods and the consumers buy the products. The large American chocolate factories unwillingness to get involved in the issue of child slavery would imply that their mission is to continue to make cheaper products. Because the companies involved are all large corporations, it would seem that they are more concerned with pleasing their investors and shareholders, rather than focusing on their ethical/social responsibilities. The managers of these large companies should be looking for the truth and asking themselves if they are doing enough to improve the situation. They should...
