Literacy on Ethics
Meta Ethics
"Meta-ethics, Normative Ethics, and Applied Ethics. (20111).
http://www.phil.cmu.edu/Cavalier/80130/part2/II_preface.html
The website provides a brief explanation of the difference between the three types of ethics. This website defines metaethics as the nature of ethics and how people make determinations of moral reasoning. It questions whether ethical decisions are made by the individual or are reflective of societal norms. It is a form of ethics that actually questions how ethics are defined.
Hare, R.M. (1952). "The Language of Morals."
This article discusses how we as people make decisions about ethics based on the dialogue we have as people from the same society. If there is one singular ethical language that everyone shares in, then there is unlikely to be variations from it. What we consider ethical...

Normative Ethics
"Normative Ethical Principles and Theories: A Brief Overview." (2002).

Beauchamp argues that being benevolent or beneficent is how a person effectively uses applied ethics. Whereas many forms of ethics relate to hypothetical situations, the applied system of ethics more refers to how these things work in real-world situations. The author traces the link between beneficence and applied ethics throughout history and determines that the two are intricately linked.
Chadwick, Ruth E. (1998). "Encyclopedia of Applied Ethics." Academic Press: San Diego, CA.
The book discusses all the way in which society requires people to behave ethically in real-world situations. In the real world, things are hardly ever black and white. Most often what the right or wrong thing to do is in a given situation can be difficult to determine. The encyclopedic entries allows the reader to see a pattern of behavior and a pattern of choices.
ETHICS & INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Ethics & Technology The first aspect of this article that struck the author is how human beings began as hunter-gatherers of food, materials for shelter, and defense -- and now human beings are hunter gatherers of information. Just as hunting and gathering affected the kind of society humans were millions of years ago, hunting and gathering information in the 21st century affects the kinds of societies present in
Technology in NursingIntroductionI possess a caring nature, and the decision to pursue a career in nursing was informed predominantly by the suitability of this characteristic in the nursing profession. While my caring nature was the fundamental drive for the pursuit of a career in nursing, other elements that contributed to this decision were the nature of the work and the perks that come with being a nurse.

Part I: In this forum you are asked to compare the Model Code of Ethics for Educators (MCEE) and your own (Kentucky) state's Code of Ethics.

Coordination of Care at Nursing HomesOverviewOne of the key ethical issues affecting the coordination and continuum of care for a nursing home community organization is the question of informed consent. Informed consent is important because it ensures that residents and their families have all the information they need to make an informed decision about their care.
