Ethics
Before resuming my educational endeavors at the University of Phoenix I was fortunate enough to experience life and many of its travails as a business person and employee. During my tenure in those endeavors I observed a number of events that I considered unethical, and a number of actions taken by individuals that I found both reprehensible and repulsive. I was often amazed at the capabilities of mankind to justify their actions, when it was quite evident that such actions would not be considered ethical in any circumstances, no matter what the justification.
Ethics has always been a concern, whether individuals worked in education, business or even the medical field.

Instead of writing about my own personal experiences regarding ethics, I would like to examine the recent sexual abuse case at Penn State University. It...
According to one recent article individuals facing an ethical dilemma often have to choose between two or more alternatives, neither of which is pleasant (Chaloner, 2007).

One expert states that "calling the police is the first action administrators should take when they suspect a district employee of sexually abusing a student" (Dessoff, 2010, p. 51). Certainly, there were individuals with the power and authority to stop these actions, and by allowing the actions to continue perpetuated a culture of fear for all those young boys who were abused.

Autobiography I have heard it said that life beings at 40, and considering that I am near 40 and embarking on a new stage in my life, I can see how people have come to that conclusion, since 40 seems to be the age where people have that combination of wisdom, experience, and energy that makes embarking on new adventures exciting, rather than intimidating. For me, however, my current life began
