...Ethics and Social responsibility Theories are formed to display different beliefs, most of the time people agree with a portion of different beliefs rather than the entire concept. Theories are often used to put characters into perspective or to help people figure out who they are and where they belong. The virtue theory, the utilitarianism theory and deontological theory have similarity and differences. These theories also address ethics and morality differently, which makes it more of a challenge to decide which one to go with. Virtue ethics theory stands on the position that “we become good when we cultivate excellence (virtue) by pursuing the moderate course between excess and defect” (Boylan, 2009). This theory addresses ethics by challenging whether or not we judge a person by their actions rather than their character. Ethically people are judged by their actions because there are consequences for those actions. Morally people are judged by their character because it shows the base on which a person is formed. The problem with this theory is a person’s ethics will constantly fight with his/her morals trying to decide what is more important. Utilitarianism theory “suggests that an action is morally right when that action produces more total utility for the group as a consequence than any other alternative does” (Boylan, 2009). Morals teach us to put ourselves last because sacrifice is one of the greatest gifts. Ethics teaches us that we are responsible...

One of the most important responsibilities is social responsibility because it requires of us to make a difference. The issue in the video is using the cell phone while driving.

This growing ethical issue has compelled people to take a stand on April 30, 2010 to form an awareness day called No Phone Zone Day (No Phone Zone Day, 2010). Not only is driving while using a cell phone an ethical issue, it is currently a legal issue as well in many states. Using ethical principles to address organizational issues Ethical principles can help to address organizational issues through awareness and support. The ethical principle in the No Phone Zone Day video is how to be socially responsible (Liberty Mutual, 2011). . Even though this issue has become more of a legal issue, law enforcement officials cannot minimize the incident on their own. They need help from outside forces such as politicians and community members to create awareness. People are less likely to break the law or a legal code if...

...Team B reviewed the Ethics Game Simulation and the Ethic Responsibility Project completed individually by members of team B during week three of ETH/316. Each team member has provided a review of there findings. Stephen Stephen completed the ethics game simulation’s two scenarios. The first scenario had to do with sexual harassment and the second scenario had to do with falsified data for a potential product. Both scenarios seemed simple on the surface, but once further research was conducted the answers to each scenario became a little more difficult. The scenarios took Stephen through a process to achieve the desired result and explained why things needed to be don’t in a certain way. For example, a big decision is to analyze all the information a then make a decision what is the first thing to do. For the first scenario, the first thing to do figure out what the problem is which meant talking to the female worker and explaining that all attempts would be made to keep her information confidential, however dependent on the allegations that it may not be completely possible. The next step was to find out who the primary stakeholders were. This was a difficult task for the author that prompted a review of outline materials referencing ethical stakeholders. The ethical lens was used to determine what the author should do initially was the Rights and Responsibilities Lens (Ethics game, 2007). The rights and responsibilities lens allowed the author to look at what ‘duties’ were...

...Online versus Traditional Education COM/170 March 10, 2014 Teresa Purcell Online versus Traditional Education Most people believe that online education is easy. People believe that students are just sitting in front of the computer; they can switch tabs and enjoy social media, listen to music and speak on the phone while attending their class online. Reality is that online education requires time management, discipline, and the same responsibilities that a traditional education does. Online college and traditional classes require that students have excellent time management. Traditional classes allow students to have the freedom of managing their time differently compared to online students. Online schools have more structured time lines as to when participation must be completed. Online schools and traditional schools measure and grade their students participation and commitment. In traditional classrooms students voluntarily participate in class discussions, students are required to participate for a minimum of three times per class period. Traditional students attend class one day a week and manage their time differently compared to online students. Online students also have a minimum requirement of participation per week, and they are required to attend online forum classes for a minimum of three times a week. Online students are required to participate on discussion boards with other students, with a minimum posting participation of eight times a week. Therefore...

...There are many potential challenges involved in the creation of a virtual team established to complete a project in which all members are not located in a central location, but are spread across different time zones. Following are specific issues identified which could be problematic in establishing effective communications among the team members of a virtual project: 1. Time Zones (coordination of members and resources and associated issues) 2. Communication (means, styles, uses and associated issues) 3. Personal Team Building and Interaction 4. Managing a geographically dispersed team 5. Distribution of tasks and responsibilities The first challenge is Time Zones. When different departments are located in decentralized areas, two time zones away from the central location, potential problems encountered may include: A. Difficulties in establishing working / personal relationships / trust B. Easier for items / tasks to “fall through the cracks” due to overlapping of time zones C. Lack of face to face, personal interaction in the locality D. Difficulties in scheduling meeting times where everyone is available Solutions for managing differences in time zones in an efficient and effective manner. First, establish the actual times for each member’s time zone and attempt to coordinate team member schedules to maximize team member input and interaction. Establish a rotation of meeting times to be spread equally among team members. Determine...
