Ethics and the Post Compulsory PGCE Consideration of ethical issues in the Post Compulsory PGCE. Key points   While some consider ongoing teacher practice and teacher improvement to be a form of research, for the purposes of formalised processes UCL IOE do not treat such practice as research requiring the formal UCL ethics procedures to be followed. Nevertheless, the Post Compulsory PGCE programme expects student teachers to follow an equivalent, local procedure* in order: To make sure that proposals for professional enquiry are appropriate and tutors agree to these before they are undertaken To make sure that ethical issues are understood by student teachers and employed across all aspects of the programme (eg confidentiality, ensuring appropriate data collection, informed consent, consideration of potential harm) Student teachers complete the Post Compulsory PGCE Proposal and ethics form, send to their tutor by the date identified and liaise with their tutor before undertaking data collection activity. * Full UCL research ethics procedures involve review by more individuals than just a single tutor, registration with the UCL Data Protection Officer and completion with full…

Business ethics Kantian Kantian ethics is a deontological theory which focuses on whether ethical decisions per se are right or wrong regardless of their consequences. The theory was developed by a German philosopher Immanuel Kant. The theory places emphasis on the decision or action rather than being concerned with the consequences or outcomes of the action. The morality of an action is based on whether the action is right or wrong rather than its results or consequences (Aune, 2014). Utilitarianism According to Mill (2016), utilitarianism focuses on the outcomes or consequences which an action might have. An action is considered to be ethical if it produces the highest balance of good over harm.  One has to consider the outcomes of an action before doing it. According to utilitarianism, an act is morally right if it produces the highest amount of pleasure for the greatest number of people rather than maximizing individual welfare (Scarre, 2002). Case study Ricardo is the chief finance officer in a company. He was voted the best employee of the year last year. He is very hardworking,…

Ethics and proactive liberty Ethics and proactive liberty are two correlated variables on the individual rights on procreation. Some scientists argue that people, whether married or single, should be live free from government intervention into matters that fundamentally affect their decision to bear children naturally or artificially. However, others argue that ethics should guide childbearing processes. The scholars differ on whether proactive liberty through means such as in vitro fertilization should be barely interpreted within the individual right to reproduce (Profeta, 2020). The critics to proactive liberty, however, raise concern over the important state interest on the matter, potential harm to other people, the status of parties involved, and the necessity of the right to be formalized. Serious considerations should be made before including proactive liberty under the constitutional right to procreate. Proactive liberty grants the right for personal choices regarding procreation. It captures the freedom for reproduction without sex. Importantly the term also includes the freedom to have sex without reproducing. The freedoms are recognized under the constitutional right to abort and control birth. There are social considerations; however,…

The balance between Profits and ethics Introduction The main aim of conducting any business is for-profit gain, and therefore, profit is deemed to be the right of any business organization. However, in the process of realizing this profit, the operations must be done within ethical means. It follows, therefore, that a paramount question that we need to ask ourselves is that, is there a possibility of a business being successful, and at the same time, be ethical? Most of the time, since most of the companies mainly focus on the profit-maximizing goal, and since the emphasis is mostly on profit-making, then the business becomes unethical. This, therefore, calls for a balance between profit-making and ethics. That is why Brunello Cucinelli, the CEO of the humanistic Italian fashion brand, once said that ‘’I believe in capitalism. I need to make a profit, but I would like to do it with ethics, dignity, morals. It’s my dream.’’ Therefore, in this paper, we are going to elucidate how corporates can strike a balance between profit and business ethics while putting up an argument…

Journalist’s Ethics A journalist is supposed to seek the truth and report it. This principle requires that journalists should be fair and accurate on what they are reporting, to avoid controversies created by painting the wrong picture of situations. The journalist, in this case, John Gillespie, was also courageous and honest in the collection of his information, as he wanted to film the arrest as it occurred. There is no doubt that the reporter sought the truth and had the TV station report it. The reporter observed the virtue of confidence by aiding the arrest of the wanted man. The reporter minimized the arm that would have been caused if the criminal would have been arrested using illegal amounts of force. The TV aired the tape in a way that would have minimal effects on both the reporter and the station. In the arrest of the wanted person, the reporter did not violate any personal dignity and respect of the man. The TV station also did not air the tape in a bid to destroy the respect accorded to human…

According to Pareto efficiency, consumer preference should be optimally satisfied. Further, the article describes business ethics in health to be a set of prescriptive constraint regulations and norms that are beyond compliance, which are needed in preserving the outcome (Cohen & Peterson, 2017).

HR Ethics: Lee and Li Case In this case, Dr. Chen got information from one client that one of the top officials in Lee and Li’s Attorney’s-at-Law firm had discovered an ambiguity and potential gap in the power of attorney. The client was SanDisk Corporation, and they realized that this loophole had enabled the senior assistant at the firm to trade the client’s stocks illegally before he proceeded to escape out of the country with a whooping NT$3 Billion.
