Personal Ethics and Public Duties Dilemma Introduction Ethics are a set of moral principles that guide how a person lives, behaves and make decisions. Professional ethics on the other hand are a strict code of conduct laid down at the work place. Non-compliance to professional code of conduct may result to severe consequences including getting laid off. At times, professional duties at a work place conflicts with personal ethics. This places one at a dilemma because it is hard to stray from personal ethics but at the same time one needs to adhere to professional ethics. This essay will look at how personal ethics and professional responsibilities can be reconciled with the aid of Christian worldview and organization psychology. Reconciling personal ethics with professional responsibilities In a public office, there are a set of guidelines that are provided from high authorities such as the constitution. In line with Dennis (2018), administrators carry out orders of their superiors and the policies of the agency or the government they serve and they do not exercise moral judgement; they are not expected to…
Ethics and Measles Working as a doctor or as a health care provider is highly rewarding and at the same time very challenging. Most medical procedures have both merits and demerits, and therefore, both the health care provider and the patient have their own input (Numminen, 2015). Ethics in the health care sector is critical because ethics creates a healthy relationship between the health care provider and the patient. Ethics in health care allows the patients to exercise their right in controlling any type of medication over their bodies. In addition, ethics principles dictate that the health care providers should do all what they can to help patients under all circumstances. Health care providers should apply ethics to solve ethical dilemma that is currently existing about the effects of measles vaccination to the children. The case study under discussion involves Piper Bank who is a health care provider in a medical clinic serving local low-income people in the society. Piper Bank is the clinic director, and she loves her job of providing health care services to the patients. In the…
Massuleaks. (Where the truth is sweetly told.) I have been very skeptical about joining the conversation on the gazettement of defaulters of HELB loans on local dailies. This decision has been mostly because of my laziness to express opinions on online spaces. This direction, however, does not mean I am not on the internet all the time. You could be surprised that I have the wealthiest and most secretive of browser histories. Chrome had me in mind when they introduced incognito tabs. To let the cat loose on the pigeons, I want to dismiss one Xtian Dela and her naïve sentiments categorically. I will first mainly assume that she never set foot into a university hence the perception that people in their thousands spend their HELB on booze. A comrade knows how tough campus life is and that, that miserable perk called HELB can hardly feed you through a semester. Uncomradely, people like Dela in their little balloons of life think that the rest of us out here have trees from which money grows. I would be surprised to find…
Are You Solving the Right Problems review Summary of the article Problem-solving is an essential process in every organization that requires a unique technique or skills to tackle. Basically, according to the report, “Are You Solving the Right Problems” by Thomas Wedell-Wedellsborg, it has clearly illustrated that currently, individuals and organizations should not struggle in finding the right way to solve a problem since there is a well-illustrated seven effective process that should be put in to practice while reframing a question. Additionally, the article has also supported the idea through a reference from various philosophers like Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, Jacob Getzels, Albert Einstein and Peter Drucker whereby they empirically demonstrated the central role of problem framing in creativity and the benefit an individual or organization has in case of accurately diagnosing a problem. This is because most of the people tend to Ove engineer the diagnostic process thereby making it more complicated. Some of the frameworks or problems solving tools that are involved include TRIZ, six sigma, and Scrum. Some of these problem-solving skills are quite comprehensive though when applied,…
“On Telling patient the truth” by Roger Higgs Summary of the article In this article, Higgs explores physicians’ practice of withholding information from patients. He examines the dilemma that physician face when it comes to information delivery to patients under different circumstance. The article points out that physicians are justified under some time not to tell the truth if telling that reality is likely to cause harm to the patient. For instance, telling a patient that he has been diagnosed with incurable cancer and that he is going to die very soon might affect his spirit to fight. The principles beneficence – physician actions that benefit the patient is exemplified. Some of the justification is based on the principle of non-maleficence, which dictates that physician should cause no harm to the patient. The big challenge arises when it comes to promoting the autonomy principle in which the patient has the right to decide on the kind of treatment and information they needed. This prompts the physicians to tell the patients the truth if even they think giving that information might…
outcome of the research hypothesis This article focuses on the outcome of the research hypothesis. It shows that the interest in using SPI started increasing from the year 1996. A further increase began developing in the years 2002-2012. The statistics have revealed that around 73% of the proposed structures are the solution proposals based on the pure methodological frameworks and do not have any theoretical or lab-based evaluation. On the other hand, 63% were entirely academic or based on lab evaluation. Three types of studies have been collected to analyze based on RQ1, RQ2, and RQ3. The article discusses that the Result set quality assurance of detailed papers was analyzed in-between 1989-2012. The results show a 50% increase of the publication and its trends. Similarly, the article discusses Tthe General Publication Flora harvested different papers, which shows improvement and increasing trend of 30-40% solution-based and philosophical based documents. On the other hand, the classification of evaluation papers and experience papers was only between 11-14%. The research further discussed the increasing importance of new-research based papers or based on SPI topics.…
Nursing Theory – Theory of Unpleasant Symptoms The proponents of the theory of unpleasant symptoms, Lenz and Hugh, sought to explain symptoms of a disease as the experienced abnormality in the body’s functioning. Therefore, this paper aims to give a brief history of the theory and its areas of concern and the historical evolution of this theory. It will also explain the concepts of the theory and their consistency throughout the years. Lastly, the paper will look at how valid the argument is in the modern world. Theory and Theorists The earliest version of this theory was developed in 1995 by Milligan, Lenz, Pugh, and Gift. The theory sought to come up with interventions to reduce or eradicate the unpleasant symptoms in patients. It was, consequently, developed for a broad range of diseases whenever the symptoms required the consideration of the nurses. All the students in University of Maryland School of Nursing had done research on unpleasant symptoms as a course requirement. And because of the extensive research on the various symptoms such as fatigue by Milligan…
Ethics in Policing Ethics involves making the right decisions and doing the right things, that is, analyzing and reflecting on the problems of human conduct (Miller, 2013). Ethics helps the police to develop a grasp of their professional standards, improve their critical thinking, understand their personal responsibility, and measure the consequences of their decisions (Miller & Blackler, 2017). Police institutions always believe that the general public or other non-police institutions do not understand the problems existing within their work and that the expectation of policing are often misplaced and unrealistic. Most police officers engage in behaviors that are unethical and these behaviors are often derived from the norms of their organizational culture (Miller & Blackler, 2017). This statement typical means that morality of police officers may be utterly opposed to the standard social morality. Some of the common unethical behaviors include corruption, excessive use of force, and racism among others (Wood, Roithmayr & Papachristos, 2019). The paradox of the “Dirty Harry Dilemma” implies that the world of policing gives police officers the capacity to justify their unethical behaviors while…

Female Genital Cutting, Buying and Selling Body Parts A serious ethical issue arises on whether people should be allowed to sell their body parts. People who support legalization of selling and buying of body parts argues that the act will make transplant of body organs such as kidney more effective, and reliable. Legal transplants of the body are common in the Western countries, and the debate on whether buying and selling of body parts should be allowed exists mainly between utilitarian, deontologists, and virtue theorists. Buying and selling of body parts have both some advantages and disadvantage, the reason that has made the act become an ethical issue (Santamaría,2017). Transplanting of kidneys from the donor to the receiver helps in saving lives. However, the supply of the organs used in the transplant is limited. Therefore, organ transplants can help to save lives. On the other case, the selling of the body organs causes danger to the donors of the organs, hence making the act become an ethical dilemma. Utilitarian philosophers argue that the sale of body parts should be…
