...Moral Education His 324 –History of Education in America Rhonda Campbell July 19, 2010 How do we generate moral behavior? Perhaps in fear of spewing unwanted religious or philosophical dogma, public schools in America eschew a cognitive approach. Instead, schools take a behaviorist approach, and students learn to act in fear of punishment while hoping for reward. This reality is the result of an education system that serves a changing population with ever-evolving needs. To best appreciate this phenomenon, we need to consider significant developments in the history of education in America in light of moral education. Then, we must look at the current state of moral education in America. Currently, however, American teachers have little official incentive to engage in much discussion of morality with students. Yet, when we read about crime in our communities, watch a high-speed police chase, or hear the details of a school shooting, we cannot so easily shirk responsibility for assisting students’ moral growth. Parents and the wider family should hold the highest degree of responsibility in this matter. However, if they fail, we are perhaps the only barrier left between the students and potentially life-devastating decisions (Brimi, 2009). Historically, one of public education’s purposes in America has been the development of moral citizens. However, educators currently face more academic accountability due to No Child Left Behind. Consequently, teachers must strike...

Cruz, Laguna Experimental Psychology “Cheating and its effects on the Moral Sensibility” Of Criminology and Education Students In Union College Submitted by: Submitted to: Carable, Cris Madel Mrs. Bituin Gracia Z. Almonte Blanca, Jan Marinie Padua, Carla May Statements of the Problem: This study aimed to compare the effects of cheating on the moral sensibility of criminology and education students in Union College. Introduction: Moral Sensibility as define refers to our response towards what is right or wrong. Because man is believed—by nature is good but morally weak, he endures all the temptations through his life. Cheating is considered as one of those as one of those which lower the moral sensibility of students, it is also a serious problem that has negative educational, social, and psychological effects. Educationally, cheating is contrary to the spirit if higher education, especially in developing and promoting moral values and attitudes. Socially, cheating is unacceptable behavior to get something with no right. Cheating is also not only affects students who cheated but also other students as it forces them to live in an unfair system. The good thing is that by learning the consequences of this action, students learn to value fairness and honesty even more. Psychologically, cheating may cause an instability in a student’s values, potentially resulting in serious psychological problems, such as feelings of being guilty and with shame but...

...Importance of Moral Education in Your Child’s Education Moral education is becoming an increasingly popular topic in the fields of psychology and education. Media reports of increased violent juvenile crime, teen pregnancy, and suicide have caused many to declare a moral crisis in our nation. Jean Piaget is among the first psychologists whose work remains directly relevant to contemporary theories of moral development. In his writing, he focused specifically on the moral lives of children, studying the way children play games in order to learn more about children's beliefs about right and wrong. According to Piaget, all development emerges from action; that is to say, individuals construct and reconstruct their knowledge of the world as a result of interactions with the environment. Based on his observations of children's application of rules when playing, Piaget determined that morality, too, could be considered a developmental process. It’s not that only teachers in schools that can impart moral education to the children, but that the parents also play a great role in making the children aware of the importance of leading life ethically. The most important assets of a nation are the citizens themselves. If the citizens are healthy, patriotic, honest, and sincere, the nation will progress at a much faster pace. For this reason, it is very essential to have moral education in schools and colleges. To impart moral education to students, there can be many ways – telling...

...2.) Liberty is defined as a contested moral and political principle that seeks to identify the condition in which human beings are able to govern themselves. Liberty is interpreted by roles of individuals in society; therefore, liberty has different descriptions depending on the society you are considering. Paternalism is the complete opposite of liberty. It is defined as the fatherly way of running a government, where society has no rights or responsibilities given to them. It is a form of policy that practices authoritative and controlling ways within a government. Unfortunately, the use of non-therapeutic drugs, alcohol, guns, prostitution and pornography are very much available in our day and age. Drugs are available amongst children and within middle school. Alcohol and guns are not as accessible to get to because there are laws that make it more difficult for minors to actually get their hands on them. Pornography is becoming less accessible for minors as well throughout the internet. These things are reoccurring every day and hour of the day and making it illegal will not stop it. In fact, illegalizing the availability of these things will increase the crime rate. Minimizing the requirements to use or have access to them would be a more productive solution. For example, under the Constitution of the United States of America, citizens of this country have the right to bear arm, but this does not mean minors should have the opportunity to buy and use a gun....

...Unit 2 Narratives Assignment Tammy Rich Kaplan University HU300 – 01 The story that I have chosen is “The Tortoise and the Hare”. The story is about a hare and a tortoise who were good friends. The hare would boast of his speed and the tortoise one day challenged his friend in a race. The confident hare took it easy, but the tortoise ran steadily, and he won the race (Saloni, 2012) The moral of this story is that even if it seems that you are not the quickest or the best at a particular task that may not be the case. If you do your best from the beginning to the end and you will know where you stand. It may prove that someone who seems more skilled at something may not be and slow and steady wins the race (Saloni, 2012). In the fable “The Tortoise and the Hare”, the writers’ concentration isn’t on the Tortoise’s confident in taking on a bully such as the Hare, but emphasizes the foolishness of the Hare’s over-confidence. Growing up hearing this story, I now realize that many people have good natural abilities in regards to race, size, and statues; not knowing what our opponent is capable of. Just as in “The Tortoise and the Hare”, the hare from the start is confident of his ability to defeat the tortoise because of his characteristics and abilities. Thinking his hasting would cause him to get ahead, the hare finds himself behind. A wise man once said “haste makes waste” and in this case it is so true (Milleray, 2013). Storytelling has long held an important role...

El ser una empresa ética implica trabajar en equipo arduamente estableciendo en todos los departamentos de la organización una serie de principios como la integridad, el reconocimiento de lo que es un valor y la lealtad a la organización. Las empresas deben de establecer un código de conducta por el cuál todos los trabajadores deben de regir su comportamiento y desplazar el oportunismo, la doble moral, revelar secretos de la empresa, recibir regalos a cambio de favores, etc. En el código de valores se debe de tener en cuenta el trabajo en equipo para lograr objetivos comunes y personales, cumplir con la filosofía de la empresa, tener la actitud para trabajar, cumplir las tareas, desarrollar capacidad de liderazgo, participar en las capacitaciones que la empresa disponga, cuidar los bienes, maquinaria y equipo de la empresa, el respeto a los demás y así mismo, aceptar evaluaciones relacionadas con el dominio y conocimiento de su...

...official. It is what is expected of these officials to perform the highest level of integrity in their everyday work. Integrity is the quality of being honest and having strong moral principles. In the Code of Conduct: Article 2: it's states, " In the performance of their duty, law enforcement officials shall respect and protect human dignity and maintain and uphold the human rights of all persons." With that being said; I can't fathom why so many law enforcement officials get away with so much brutality daily. Everyone has morals and ethics, no matter if they are good or bad, you still have them. Law enforcement officials bit only are trained to do the right things, step by step in the line of duty, but whether theory choose to follow their training is entirely up to then. Ramarley Graham, an 18 year old from the Bronx, NY, was shot and killed by a police officer in 2012. Graham was in his grandmothers bathroom at her home, reportedly flushing marijuana down the toilet. Officer Richard Haste, chased Graham into the house even though the officer didn't have a warrant. Graham was unarmed when Haste shot and killed him. A grand jury charged the officer with manslaughter. However, a judge later the indictment out, which allowed Haste to get away with murder. Yes, murder! This officers ethics, morals and integrity were all wrong on every level of his actions in this case. Haste didn't think before he acted. Instead of protecting and "respecting" human dignity and maintain and...

...amiento OrganizacionalDISYUNTIVA ÉTICA: Manejo de las emociones en el trabajo En la última década han aumentado rápidamente nuestros conocimientos de las emociones de los empleados. Por ejemplo las compañías qu3 quieren crear lugares abiertos y cordiales para trabajar recurren a procesos de selección para descartar a los solicitantes que no son sociables ni entusiastas y capacitan a los empleados para que aprendan a sonreír y a mostrarse animados. Algunas organizaciones tratan incluso de producir entornos de trabajo “emocionalmente humanistas” mediante la conformación de las emociones que sienten los empleados en su trato diario con los clientes, la selección de los solicitantes con mucha inteligencia emocional, el control de la atmósfera emocional de equipos y grupos y otras prácticas de manejo de emociones. Una vez se mofaba Groucho Marx diciendo que “el secreto del éxito en el negocio del espectáculo es la honestidad y la sinceridad. Cuando uno aprende a fingirlas, ya la hizo”. En muchas organizaciones actuales de servicios se aplica el comentario de Groucho. Por ejemplo, en diversas compañías aseguradoras se capacita al personal de ventas por teléfono para despertar sentimientos positivos en los clientes, para que sea más fácil que contesten “si”. Se enseña a los empleados a evitar palabras con connotaciones negativas y a cambiarlas por otras que levanten el ánimo y fomenten la confianza, como “sin duda”, “tenga la seguridad”, “de inmediato” y “excelente”. Además, se enseña...

...Moral codes are reviewed from occasionally; however, they are of top priority for a number of causes in companies. Companies have to ensure they go after the top tier of moral principles in all of their actions. Moral principles are also significant with respect to business investigation. Throughout this paper, the discourse shall be lodged with regard to a case in which corrupt business analysis methods were executed by the company. My intent is to talk about this case and a range of main clauses concerning this particular case. Presently, in this peculiar case, some moral subjects are to be taken into reflection. In terms of immoral investigation performance, this particular company was certainly engrossed in immoral research performance. The company was a pharmaceutical corporation that worked together with a professor who beforehand supplied the required research linked to the medication of flu (Dominick & Wimmer, 2010). Throughout the course of their accord, he was inquired to remain the research information secret and not to unveil the same to any other party. The corporation which was working on his investigation work was planning to hold back the study work. Consequently, it was judged to be immoral on the side of the pharmaceutical corporation. The pharmaceutical corporation desired to make sure that it collected a high bulk of earnings, in spite of whether the investigation work was complete at the price of collective interests. The upset shareholding groups...

...Células Madre Embrionarias La vida comienza desde el momento en que el espermatozoide se une con el óvulo. Por lo que el problema recae en que tras la obtención de células madres embrionarias, esta produce que muchos embriones sean sacrificados. Entonces seria una acción injustificable, ya que estarían matando o destruyendo vidas humanas. Pero hay puntos en contra, acerca de que no está claro que la vida de una persona inicie desde el momento de la fecundación. Por lo que muchos piensan que la vida de un individuo inicia a partir de la introducción del embrión, que es cuando ya se considera un ser humano, según doctores. Viéndolo moralmente esta mal, ya que estas destruyendo un embrión humano, no por el hecho de ayudar a otros se puede justificar el matar o destruir una vida humana en progreso. Y por la pregunta desde cuando inicia la vida humana, puedo decir que al entrar el espermatozoide se da pie al comienzo de una vida humana, ya que entre el óvulo y el espermatozoide forman uno solo, que va en desarrollo. No se necesita que pase cierto tiempo para considerarlo un individuo, al momento de la unión, es el inicio de la vida. Además que tras años de estudio no ha habido grandes avances en este sector, por lo que deberían buscar caminos alternativos para dichos problemas. Últimamente se han logrado hallazgos en nuevos métodos que eliminarían el problema ético hacia la destrucción de embriones, tal es el caso de células madre adultas que pueden generar grandes esperanzas...

...not universal since they only represent the view point of a few, the minority, majority or imposition of a dictator (Baghramian, 2004). When conceptualized within the context of morality it impinges on the framework that truth is applicable only as it pertains to specific guidelines and adaptations. Hence, if morality then becomes as issue in determining truth; it is sieving intentions to decipher purity and whether they are based on justice or outcomes that are beneficial to all. Therefore, this section of my presentation will focus on Lenn Goodman’s (2010) ‘Some Moral Minima:’ A Perspective. Also, a discussion on whether the conceptual framework advanced by this author challenges relativism will be embraced as well as a personal analysis of the themes. Lenn Goodman- ‘Some Moral Minima:’ A Perspective Lenn Goodman (2010) as any social scientist has to justify the morals of society. To say otherwise is to be deemed anti- social and immoral from the point of view of the ruling politic. Hence, his views of ‘some things are wrong’ well deserve agreement, especially, when it appears to be hurting the individual making the judgment (Goodman,...

...We all know when we have a good supervisor, but it can be quite difficult to actually state what makes a good supervisor good. Does it have to do with their personality, their insight, intelligence, or their personal beliefs, morals and values? Is it a mix of all these things, and do certain characteristics apply more than others? The first thing we should appreciate is that there are a huge amount of traits that need to be considered. Over the duration of the paper I will be focusing on a few select traits which I believe to be the most important in regards to being a good supervisor. Firstly, a good supervisor must be a good coach. For a supervisor to be successful, it is imperative that they have the qualities that we attribute to any normal coach. This is because a coach knows how important it is to coach their team, or in this case, employees. Successful coaching means working together with your employees to create and modify action plans and objectives. Supervisors must know how to delegate tasks between individuals, and give all the support and guidance that may be needed. On the topic of individuals, a good supervisor must understand that everybody is different, and to be mindful of this fact when dealing with his or her team members. Secondly, a good supervisor must have a positive outlook and be a positive thinker. He or she will think how problems can be solved, while maintaining an air of friendliness, so that they remain approachable, and their employees aren’t...

...Philosophy 484 Professor Neiman 3/22/12 “Selling Starbucks in the Forbidden City” Ever since the Starbucks retail outlet has opened in the “Forbidden City” of Beijing, China, there has been a huge controversy over whether this store deserves to be in this sacred area of China’s history. I believe that Starbucks has a moral obligation to operate a retail store in the “Forbidden City.” The first objection from some Chinese citizens is that Starbucks is highly considered an American brand, and that American commerce is destroying Chinese culture that they claim goes back 5000 years. In some cases, people may believe that the Chinese have the cultural right to maintain their culture in places of great history, which would definitely apply to the Forbidden city Museum. This claim against Starbucks contradicts this statement somewhat since there are already thousands of stores in the museum. If the Chinese would have wanted to keep the Forbidden City sacred, you would think that they would have not allowed any stores in the area to keep it original so everyone could see the real history behind the place. Some may counter by saying that Chinese stores should only be allowed simply because it is already part of the Chinese Culture. In the case, it states that there are shops that sell American products, such as coke, cookies, and other merchandise. Wouldn’t this be considered American products and upset some Chinese citizens since it is considered American and not part...

...fue el efecto de la cultura organizacional en el caso Enron? En la medida en la que se adopta una cultura organizacional agresiva, en la que se fomenta la innovación y el crecimiento a base de la toma de riesgos, se debe tener muy en cuenta que el mensaje que se transmite a los empleados está acorde con las políticas , valores y códigos de ética de la organización. Cuando una empresa invita de manera continua a sobrepasar los límites para continuar creciendo y obtener dinero, como fue el caso Enron, esto puede llevar a sus empleados a cruzar la línea que separa la ambición de la moral. Esta situación se agrava aún más cuando son los líderes de la empresa quienes adoptan esta conducta. Los líderes de Enron transmitían un mensaje de crecimiento y de llegar más allá a cuesta de sobrepasar cualquier límite, incluyendo acciones y comportamientos desviados de lo ético y lo moral. Dentro de la cultura organizacional de Enron se pueden destacar varios factores que pudieran haber influido en el fracaso de la misma. La ambigüedad es uno de los factores determinantes. Puede que los empleados estuvieran confundidos acerca de lo que se espera de ellos, considerando que las políticas establecidas estaban en conflicto con las prácticas actuales dentro de la organización. Las políticas establecidas, incluyendo el código de...

Mateo 5:16. Sinopsis del capitulo: En la lección de la semana pasada, descubrimos el potencial del amor mutuo y la sumisión, los cuales son el modelo de la trinidad de Dios. Esta semana descubriremos que un matrimonio basado en la fe requiere de un esposo y una esposa que desarrollen los rasgos del carácter de los cuales la biblia hace ejemplo.
