...Workplace Ethics: Unprofessional Conduct Business 309- Business Ethics August 22, 2015.Workplace Ethics: Unprofessional Conduct The workplace should be an environment of professionalism and policies of employees work behavior should be set into place. Unprofessional conduct can interfere with other employees of the workplace and cause the organization that one is working for to be looked at as unprofessional. Any behavior or conduct that isn’t looked at as acceptable to the company’s policy on work behavior can in term be considered unprofessional. Therefore, all employees should be made aware of the company’s policy on professional conduct so that they wouldn’t engage in activities that can cause harm to the professionalism of any organization. According to the case study Ms. Pruitt is an elementary teacher for mentally challenged children was considered not fit to teach. In our text it states that Ms. Pruitt worked with mentally challenged children for a total of thirteen years. During that time frame she had nothing but positive feedback from the school principle and was often acknowledge as a reliable teacher. I do feel that the Board of Education did violate Ms. Pruitt’s rights to privacy and didn’t have any valid reason to fire her. An undercover police officer decided to show up to the “swingers” party and decided to charge Ms. Pruitt with oral copulation. Ms. Pruitt then paid her fine and was reinstated to teach. However, two years later the Board of Education decided...

...Labour ||XXII| We have proceeded from the premises of political economy. We have accepted its language and its laws. We presupposed private property, the separation of labor, capital and land, and of wages, profit of capital and rent of land – likewise division of labor, competition, the concept of exchange value, etc. On the basis of political economy itself, in its own words, we have shown that the worker sinks to the level of a commodity and becomes indeed the most wretched of commodities; that the wretchedness of the worker is in inverse proportion to the power and magnitude of his production; that the necessary result of competition is the accumulation of capital in a few hands, and thus the restoration of monopoly in a more terrible form; and that finally the distinction between capitalist and land rentier, like that between the tiller of the soil and the factory worker, disappears and that the whole of society must fall apart into the two classes – property owners and propertyless workers. Political economy starts with the fact of private property; it does not explain it to us. It expresses in general, abstract formulas the material process through which private property actually passes, and these formulas it then takes for laws. It does not comprehend these laws – i.e., it does not demonstrate how they arise from the very nature of private property. Political economy throws no light on the cause of the division between labor and capital, and between capital and land....

...In this time and day of the twenty-first century where there is an elaborate system established to report the work of public figures, the idea of privacy is beginning to blur into the lines of public exposure, and the ones at stake are the public figures - be they celebrities, politicians or athletes. Actions undertaken in private are what they are - private. However, with intense scrutiny from the media, these actions are no longer private, and are subject to criticism and judgement from the public who crave these news like flies crave honey. The issue at hand is the matter of whether these public figures should be responsible, criticized and even punished for acts that were meant to be conducted in private. The very concept of privacy for public figures is practically non-existent, especially when the media watches over them like hawks do their prey. Hence, I disagree that public figures should be held accountable for the actions, even actions undertaken in private. While public figures wield great influence to our society and are even labeled as role models, often the public forgets that privacy is entitled to everybody, and that as long as they perform well in their job, there is absolutely no reason for the public to be this interested in their private lives. Article 12 of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights states “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary interference with his privacy, family, home or correspondence, nor to attacks upon his honour and reputation...

...common debate over whether there should be an implementation of private prisons in the United States. This implementation would require the prison facilities to work with private contractors in order to decrease issues currently present in public facilities. Within the implementation of private facilities there are arguers who claim that the private facilities are going to have issues controlling the overall well-being of the inmates and therefore there have been studies conducted in order to show whether private facilities will be more beneficial to these prisoners. The studies conducted to determine the impact of private facilities have judged the prisons based on a few key areas including quality, cost, security, and recidivism....

Marleise Rashford emphasizes that money is not the issue why America has not reform its health system. Corruption, lobbyist, and private insurances are the ones responsible for this. The essay mentions that 45 million Americans are uninsured. This essay will analyze and critique Rashford’s essay. I support the universal healthcare system. The United States is the only industrialized nation without universal healthcare. The United States ranks poorly compare to other industrialized nations on healthcare. Universal healthcare will cover all the American citizens. It will benefit the underprivileged citizens of this country. American citizens will have a longer life expectancy. Infant mortality rates will decrease. The United States is the only industrialized nation without universal healthcare. (Rashford, 4) Corruption, lobbyist, and private insurances are the ones responsible for this. Private insurance premiums rice twice as fast than the rate of inflation. Private insurances are making record profits. “The number of American without health insurance rose from 1.4 million to 45 million, between 2000 and 2003.” (Rashford, 5) The United States...

Inmates can pick up on the officer’s inability to focus on their job and use that. Correctional officers will have to keep work life and home life separated. How do you ensure professionalism among the corrections staff? Communities rely on federal and state prisons, county jails, and other correctional facilities to help ensure public safety by operating secure facilities. Correctional officials recognize that their work is a public service and that unethical behavior and /or misconduct erodes public confidence in these officials. It is for this reason that corrections departments across the country adopt and enforce codes of ethics and conduct for correctional officers and other employees whose job involves overseeing correctional facilities and the prisoners in them. Correctional officer codes of conduct and ethics not only outline expectations for treating prisoners, but also for fostering professionalism among facility staff and within correctional departments. In corrections, when everyone is being “professional” the work is being done effectively; it means safety and control are...

The city of Santa Monica, California is facing a dilemma, which is not unique to Santa Monica as this is a situation affecting other cities throughout Southern California as well as the rest of the United States. The question is, do private property owners have a right to freely rent or lease their property on a short term basis or does the local government have a right to institute laws and restrictions on private property owners wishing to rent or lease their property on a short term basis? What is private property? According to Business dictionary.com (2015), private property is… “Tangible and intangible things owned by individuals or firms over which their owners have exclusive and absolute legal rights, such as land, buildings, money, copyrights, patents, etc. Private property can be transferred only with its owner's consent, and by due process such as sale or gift.” John Locke was an influential English political philosopher who believed that God gave man the earth in common, meaning everyone had a right to it.

...today by influence of globalisation. Fordism is a modern economic and social systems based on industrialized, standardized mass production and mass consumption. The concept is used in social, economic, and management theory about production, working conditions, consumption, and related phenomena, especially regarding the 20th century. Fordist accumulation mechanism did not influence only economic issues. It also regulated social, cultural, political issues in society through advertising, mass media and mass entertainment. Fordist mode of regulation comprised some disciplines to hold society together and proceed properly. It aimed to control individual from their family and community life to work place. Rational control expanded in almost all social areas such as household management, social work, psychotherapy, industrial psychology, etc. Furthermore, the social regulations were concentrated within a national frame. All social areas are controlled and bounded nationally. Thirdly, it was encouraged individuals to be more rational and autonomous for their own decisions through instutions such as family, school, psychology, workplace. In the post-89 era of postfordist globalisation, firstly, there was a major shift to denationalization and transnationalization in terms of social interactions. The social regulations and policies such as banking regulation, labor standards, environmental regulation and counterterrorism started to regulate at transnational and international levels...

..."Americans work 137 more hours per year than Japanese workers, 260 more hours per year than British workers, and 499 more hours per year than French workers." (Today Money website). Should the US transition into a six-hour workday? The answer is Yes! Definitely. As a worker and former student, I believe that six-hour workday is a great change for our work-life balance for the following reasons: you can improve your performance at work, you have more time and energy to enjoy your private life, and you can improve your health. Sweden began to reduce the workday to six-hours per day last year in an experiment with nurses (Today Money website); it showed that the less workday is higher performance it gets, the nurses looked less stressed, they...
