...Wisdom and Action scenario Wisdom and Action scenario 1) The known facts is a local nonprofit organization that networks with other service agencies in the area was designed to fill gaps in needed services for families. The agency has been in existence for several years and has gained respect of the community. One fact that I feel like that is missing that should be obtain is director of the agency applied to seven different foundations and hope to at least get one and they receive three I feel like more information should be given and stating what they would do with the rest of the money. I understand they request 10,000 for a part-time administrative assistant. The potential stakeholders are the agency, director and the clients. The potential outcome both good and bad for the stakeholders are the agency will receive 30,000 for applying to different foundations for money to hire a part-time administrative assistant. The director of the agency was hoping to at least get 10,000 and they were rewarded with 30,000. The granting foundation had different requirements for reporting on the use of the money. Two of the foundations asked that the money be used in the manner for which it was requested. I think I would probably most likely seek out the agency director for input advice and consultation. Why because he/she is the head person in the organization and I dint feel like they will steer me in the wrong direction. What my conscience says to me about this dilemma is that...

...(Rutherford, 2008). Within ST there are organizations that have standardized the terminology for nurses. NANDA, NOC, and NIC are the organizations that will be discussed throughout this paper and how they related to patient care based on a provided scenario. The scenario I will be discussing is: 47yr male patient presenting to the ED with c/o SOB and CP x 3 days. Pt is pale and diaphoretic on arrival. VSS are HR 130; BP 123/74; O2 sat 96% on 4L NC; pt. with shallow rapid respirations rate 36. NANDA is an organization that has developed more than 200 nursing diagnoses. “NANDA International will be a global force for the development and use of nursing's standardized terminology to ensure patient safety through evidence-based care, thereby improving the health care of all people” (NANDA, 2014). NANDA committed to improving the quality of nursing care and improvement of patient safety through evidence-based practice (NANDA, 2014). From NANDA, two branches, Nursing Outcomes Classification (NOC) and Nursing Interventions Classifications (NIC), were developed to evaluate the effects of interventions provided by nurses and other health care professionals (Moorhead et al., 2013). Nursing diagnosis that would be useful for the above scenario would be: excessive fluid volume r/t compromised regulatory...

...Nicole Walker Wisdom and Action Scenario HSM/230 3/8/2012 Carmen Davis Wisdom and Action Scenario 1. In this case the known facts are that the volunteer director applied for help from different agencies to help provide a salary for a needed part-time employee for help within their organizations. The fact is the director received 3 times more than was expected. An the other known fact was out of the three agencies only two required that these donation be used for the manner in which it was requested for. 2. In this ethical dilemma the potential stakeholders would be the agencies, and the director and the organization new part-time employee. 3. For advice, and consultation, and input I think the best thing to do would be to thank all three agency for assisting in their contribution. I would also explain each avenue on why it was very important for this donation which was to help get the extra needed help to help their communities in which we assist. 4. In this dilemma I think that it is best to do what the money was given for and that is to support the new salary of the new part-time employee. 5. In this dilemma the outcome for good is that the community will get the needed extra help to the support their needs. Now the bad could be that the money would be used for other things besides what it was needed for. The forces in which needs to be considered is that it is this organization civil obligation to be honesty...

...Ethics and Corporate Responsibility in the Workplace and the World Patricia Ingram Professor Renee Berry Legal 500- Law, Ethics, and Corporate Governance March 1, 2015 Introduction "PharmaCARE is one of the world’s most successful pharmaceutical companies, enjoying a reputation as a caring, ethical and well-run company that produces high-quality products that save millions of lives and enhance the quality of life for millions of others. The company offers free and discounted drugs to low-income consumers, has a foundation that sponsors healthcare educational programs and scholarships, and its CEO serves on the PhRMA board. PharmaCARE recently launched a new initiative, We CARE about YOUR world®, pledging its commitment to the environment through recycling, packaging changes and other green initiatives, despite the fact that the company’s lobbying efforts and PAC have successfully defeated environmental laws and regulations, including extension of the Superfund tax, which was created by Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA). ...PharmaCARE maintains a large manufacturing facility in the African nation of Colberia, where the company has found several “healers” eager to freely share information about indigenous cures and an abundance of Colberians willing to work for $1.00 a day, harvesting plants by walking five (5) miles into and out of the jungle carrying baskets that, when full, weigh up to fifty (50) pounds. Due to the...

...knowledge of potentially defective products being sold to customers. You are not sure if others are aware of this issue, and the defective products could possibly lead to serious injuries. To complicate matters, you are uncertain about your organization’s ethical guidelines because none have been communicated. How would you present this issue to the CEO, directors, and managers? What specific courses of action would you recommend with respect to internal actions and customer notification?

...many different types of managers and some have different tiers. Information should be passed through the tiers in order to provide efficiency throughout the company. Communication is one of the main roles in establishing a good solid foundation when starting a business. Approaching the manufacturing part of a business and deciding how you would like to manufacture the product needs a lot of researching and planning. Having a plan and making sure that it is carried about by management is very important. Based on the scenario that we have been working on over the last few weeks I chose to go with outsourcing 100%. Based on the information this would be the lowest investment option, due to the inventor having little financial and management skills. This makes sure that the company can follow through with an appropriate management and to assemble the product. There are some consequences in going with the outsourcing decision, although I feel that for this scenario this is the best option. I believe that you lose being more involved in the company. There...

...would prove to be instrumental in protecting the Jewish nation’s continued survival. The Talmud (as cited in R’ Schloss, 2004, p.3) quotes a story in which Vespasian becomes emperor of Rome. Upon his appointment Vespasian granted R’ Yochanan three requests. To the common observer, the requests made by R’ Yochanan seemed simple and insignificant. However deeper understanding showed that they were the core and focal point of Jewish survival. R Schloss (2004) writes “… in 1242, twenty- four cartloads of books, including every known copy of the Gemara” were burned in a giant bon fire. This would have been the end of the Talmud if not for the wisdom and foresight of the Ri of Dampierre. In his great wisdom he anticipated such a scenario and ensured that the Talmud be memorized by some three hundred scholars (ibid). It was through the vital actions of these great leaders that Judaism continues to...

...decision. When using the deontology approach, one focuses on if it was a right decision or not instead of focusing on the consequences. With this method, all of the questions about ethics and principles arise. The last method is called the virtue ethic approach. This method strives on keeping the morals and integrity of both the community and the individuals. By keeping the morals and integrity of a community when making decisions, it ensures that the decision will be made using the personality traits of the individual. These traits include honest, generosity, wisdom, intuition, and common sense. Is the course of action really the most ethical choice? Scenario One The mayor made the most ethical choice by refusing the proposal and scarifying the development of hundred jobs and million dollars to be able to consider 100 seniors and 30 employees respectfully. * * * Scenario Two With this scenario, is it the right decision for Catalina to tell that she had accomplished her sales goals so that she will be able to get her bonus?

...problematic. John Stuart Mill’s thoughts about classical philosophy include, virtue, knowledge, wisdom and temperance. He states that these qualities are only useful if they help the greater good. In the article, it states, “Utilitarianism is the moral doctrine that we should always act to produce the greatest possible balance of good over bad for everyone affected by our actions”. I agree with this because in anything you do you want there to be a positive outcome. Your actions need to stimulate a healthy effect for everyone surrounding you. It is also dependent on your consequences that the actions are considered bad actions. Therefore, if the consequence hurts only one person is that still considered a bad action? Or if the consequence has a detrimental effect on multiple people is it valued a a more higher stake? In some scenarios poor actions are solely caused by curiosity. Does the amount of curiousness versus the purpose driven to complete that action make it better? Another question is if, performing a bad action makes you a bad person? Everyone perceives an action differently, so it depends on your character to conclude the nature of your own mistakes. I think it would be fun to take either a character quiz or a quiz that determines which actions you think are bad or good. This quiz would possibly determine your character or if you’ve performed those exact actions yourself. ...

...following rules or duties (deontology) or that emphasizes the consequences of actions (consequentialiasm). Plato, and perhaps more famously, Aristotle laid out the teachings and characteristics of virtue ethics which was the preeminent school of thought in western philosophy until the enlightenment. After a brief period of relative obscurity virtue ethics reemerged in the late 1950's as the dominant form of moral philosophy in Anglo-American culture. The defining characteristics of virtue ethics over other normative theories is the concepts of practical wisdom, virtuous character traits, and eudamonia which roughly translates to 'flourishing' or 'well being'(Vaughn pg 134). In essence virtue ethics asks the question, 'who should I be?' rather than 'what should I do?'. Because our actions cannot be determined by one set of overarching rules, nor can the outcome of action and therefore its goodness truly be predicted prior to the commitance of the action, it is my belief that virtue ethics is the most practical, and therefore useful theory of moral philosophy. How virtue ethics help us determine right and wrong action is through the development of good character traits, such as honesty, empathy, kindess etc. and the elimination of negative traits such as greed, anger, callouness and the like. These traits in turn can help us determine the right course of action if presented with a quandary later on. One way this is accomplished is through...

...Scenarios planning is the main technique to study the future, and it have been used since long time by the government planners, corporate managers and military analysts, as important tool to help them in making decision to face the uncertainty. The idea of scenario planning is to establish about possible future where it can minimise surprises and broaden the span of managers. Today the scenarios planning they have become extremely popular. ( Chermack, T. J. 2003). Scenario planning is a group‐based decision making tool, which has its roots in post‐ WWII military planning and the petroleum industry of the 1970s such as Royal Dutch Company. Unlike its cousins, forecasting and prediction, scenario planning does not attempt to project future outcomes based on data from the past. These methods can often lead to “tunnel vision”, due to their preference of one outcome over another. Scenario planning, as described by Peter Schwartz, Chairman of Global Business Network (GBN), “…is a tool for better decision making…Business and governments employ this tool because it helps them to make better strategic decisions.” (Schlegel, G. L., & Murray, P. 2010) The History of Scenario Planning Scenario planning arose out of a need to plan for futures filled with much uncertainty. This uncertainty is particularly magnified in military operations, which is why scenario‐type planning can be traced back to 19‐century military ...

...received your complaint. I have Mr. Narveson next to me who is willing to answer any questions regarding his publication in yesterday’s INB article. Parents: Mr. Narveson, we are furious with your interpretation of the events which happened upon EDS 34G11. We are appalled that you say Marilyn’s sacrifice was a “morally correct” action by the EDS pilot given the circumstances at hand. How can the sacrifice of an innocent person ever be morally correct? Narveson: There is our first discrepancy in the sacrifice of Marilyn, as I do not see Marilyn as truly, 100% innocent. Parents: How is our daughter not innocent? Truly you cannot believe that she deserved what had happened to her! Narveson: I do not believe that Marilyn deserved her gruesome fate, however she did enter the EDS willingly, with the knowledge that she was not permitted to board. She more than once admitted her guilt to Barton the EDS pilot, and had also admitted to reading the sign which read “UNAUTHORIZED PERSONNEL – KEEP OUT. Parents: Well surely she did not believe that the consequences would be to such a great extent! Narveson: Although unaware to the severity of her actions, Marilyn willingly broke the rules when entering the EDS; thus she cannot be regarded as truly “innocent”. Parents: So are you saying...

...Natural Law Theory: Natural law theory is the concept that regardless the situation or time your morals would determine the right and good action. The theory is considered a foundation of moral principle. An example of this could be in a life or death scenario the decisions you make. Do you try to help others or save yourself? Natural law theory states that you would think in an emotional, intellectual, and rational mindset and ultimately your morals would decipher what your next action is. 4. Oppression, according to Marilyn Frye: Oppression is defined as unjust treatment or no control. Marilyn Frye describes oppression as “a system of interrelated barriers and forces which reduce, immobilize, and mold people who belong to a certain group and effect their subordination to another group”. Frye believed people were limited and many times less than free. There have been many examples in history of oppression. A clear example would be when certain societies look at women as property. There, the women are...

He made a management decision regarding which business type he believed would be the most likely to succeed and why based on the scenario. He also listed advantages and disadvantages of each business type regarding the scenario. Finally, he acknowledged the issues and prior knowledge of manufacturing a new product. Legal, Social, and Economic Environments of Business Have you ever had a lot to say to a special person, but never knew exactly how to put it together in a nice, sweet conversation? I have, it’s quite frustrating—I must add. It’s the same feeling, when you come up with a great idea or invention, but you have no idea of how you should go about getting your invention up off the grown and running. This will be based off a scenario of an inventor who enjoys working around the home, cleaning, cooking, and doing minor home repairs and remodeling. You have to consider how much knowledge you have on manufacturing a product, advantages and disadvantages of each business type, and making a management decision regarding which business type you believe would be most likely to succeed and why. How much knowledge do you have on manufacturing...
