Accounting Ethics             Ethics is not a new phenomenon in most of the professions. Accounting embraces the various ethical standards in dealing with daily problems. One of the most common challenges in the field of accounting is a conflict of interests, where accountants have to choose between their profession and other issues. The code of ethics associated with accounting, however, provides solutions to the challenges that face the accounting profession. Several topics are covered in accounting, with most of them surrounding the issue of ethics. Accounting is founded on several ethical standards that enable accountants to deal with conflict of interest and other vices without compromising professional standards. Ethics and Crisis Management The code of ethics in accounting is strategically developed to ensure consistency in the accounting sector. Accountants are expected to review the code of ethics as frequently as possible to avoid crises and conflicts. Several crises may occur during the accounting practice, and the code of ethics comes in handy to ensure that the accountants are well set to address the crises (Brooks & Dunn, 2012). For example,…

Care ethics theory has been chosen to accomplish the present task Care ethics or ethics of care is a normative theory that establishes the moral responsibilities of individuals towards their society. It ensures the amount of care that an individual should provide to his or her family, friends, and colleagues. Care ethics theory is associated with empathy, relationships, and care which persons should provide to others when these are necessary. It depends on the mutual response and emotional interdependence between two people. The ethics of care is a rejection of principle-driven, impartial, and dispassionate reasoning that often dominate the paradigms of bioethics. The theory is based on three aspects. These are feminist writing, moral theories, and developmental psychology. It emphasizes the moral concern about responsibilities and needs in any relationship. Moral responsibility is guided by love, care, and friendship rather than any rights and principles as guided. Care ethics also deals with vulnerability as it provides care to those who are vulnerable in society. Care ethics indicates the need for love, care, and responsibility that must provide to the community…

Annotated bibliography for engineering ethics Introduction Engineering as a profession requires adherence to standard guidelines and values for the overall good of the society and engineering profession. Ethics provides a baseline within which engineer gauges if his or her activities are morally justified. Engineering practice affects the entire fabric of society and shapes most government decisions; thus, a flaw in engineering is likely to cause adverse effects to a community significantly. An engineering failure can cost the organization in a big way; therefore, the guidelines helped in giving a scope within which if an engineer works minimizes the probability of failure to a minimum or zilch. For example, ethics helps in reducing engineering failures such as the Tacoma Bridge, which not only endangered lives but also consumed large sums of social resources that could have serviced other sectors.  In this annotated bibliography, our focus will be on how the different authors have navigated the topic of engineering ethics and how it has brought sanity in the engineering profession since its incorporation.

Ethics and Evidence-Based Practice Introduction Ethics and Evidence-based research are significant factors in healthcare institutions because all the rules and principles enshrined in them are meant to standardize and improve effective medical care services (Melnyk & Fineout-Overholt, 2015). However, the principles safeguarding the healthcare practice at times differ from the evidence-based improvement of healthcare initiatives hence leading to various consequences that mostly burden the patients. In this essay, I will discuss the principles of healthcare management based on the three parts to be addressed and elaborate on the conflicts arising from each of the factors stated. Part 1 Ethical safeguards that are created for clinical research are mostly inapplicable for evidence-based practice and projects that are related to it due to associated effects that limit the scope of evidence collection, treatment of the subject, and decision making throughout the project. Ethical safeguards that are purposely made for clinical practice limits the application and collection of data that relates to human subjects. Evidence-based practice ensures the availability of quality and best evidence regardless of the source from which it was collected. Clinical…

Ethics in business practices Introduction Business organizations need to ensure that they have ethical ways of doing sales sand activities at large if they want to be successful and competitive (Tsalikis & Fritzsche, 2017). As much as the organization might set ales quotas and other targets to be met, it is also vital that they adhere to acceptable methods of doing things. Additionally, corporate leaders need to be at the forefront, encouraging the rest of the employees to be ethical in the dealings since this helps in setting the right tone at the top and achieving an ethical culture that is key to making the organization successful. Question One Peter is an ethical employee but faces a lot of challenges in his work and pressure to meet the sales quotas set by his boss (Silliman, 2019). The specific ethical dilemma that Peter is facing is that he finds it hard to continue selling advertisement packages to customers without telling them they are biting more what they can chew. The truth of the matter is that the market in Florida is saturated,…

ethics governing information management  Several ethics govern information management. In managing information, there may arise some issues which are ethical and others unethical. I read several articles that shared information concerning ethical issues governing information management. The first article explained information rights and obligations as an ethical issue (Zaïane, 2011). Some people cannot access information because they don’t have the right to do so. On the other hand, there other people who can access the information since they have been granted access. It will be unethical to allow unauthorized people to access the information. The second article discussed privacy, which is a major ethical issue when it comes to information management (Chuleeporn, 2010). It is always good to keep the information private, as specified by the owner. Information can be collected from different sources, meaning that there will be different rules concerning privacy. If information should only access by a certain group of people, then it would be good to ensure that only that group which accesses the information. The third article discussed security as an ethical issue in information…

Ethics auditing Q1 Ethics auditing can be described as an audit that is performed to determine if the company is operating in line with the code of conduct values, objectives, and goals that it set itself in the social sphere. Therefore, it is used as a measure of the culture and behavior of an enterprise. It identifies the level at which its values have been embedded across its operation and people. Ethics auditing is used to monitor if the process and procedures that are used by an organization to achieve its goals are ethical. The analysis is usually based on the societal and communal point of view. Q2 There is much reason as to why companies have adopted ethics auditing.

Medical Ethics Medical ethic is the act of examining a given medical problem and use-values, logics and facts to make decisions regarding the best course of action.  Some difficulty may be straight forward, for example, deciding what is right from what is wrong. Other issues may be involved, such as determining rights.  Sometimes a patient opinion may differ from that of the medical team (Laurie & Dove, 2019).  It becomes challenging to decide on what is to be done if both parties maintain their grounds. It can take long periods and a lot of consultations to make decisions. AC is a minor diagnosed with Hodgkin’s lymphoma and prefers to use the Hoxsey treatment. This is a method that was disapproved by the United States Food and drug administration in 1956. The medical team feels that he should go through the second round of chemotherapy. The success rate of three chemotherapies is 90 per cent. The main ethical question is choosing between second chemotherapy or Hoxsey treatment. Stakeholders that are involved in this case are three: AC, who is a 16-year-old…

gods and ethics Introduction Ethics refers to what is considered right or wrong in society. In different religions, certain people do not agree with the ethical codes of their gods and thus oppose their ideas and dwell on their ideologies instead. Ajax is an example of a rebel who doesn’t conform to his gods’ ideologies after Oddyseus defeated him in a contest to possess Archilles’ invisible armor. This annoyed him, and he decided to rebel that idea and sort out to kill Odysseus to reclaim the armor. Ajax does not want to give in and repent because he strongly feels that Athena, the goddess of war and wisdom, and also the soldiers that voted Odysseus went against him. This is because he was considered as the heir to Archille’s armor since he was the second-best warrior after him. (Sophocles,2017, 65-66).  He thought this was an injustice against him from the gods since he was better in battle than Odysseus, who was considered good in diplomatic ways and also a coward. He refuses to apologize because he says that the gods…
