Children's Rights
Bisogni, S., Aringhieri, C., McGreevy, K., Olivini, N., Gonzalez Lopez, J., Ciofi, D., . . . Festini, F. (2015). Actual implementation of sick children's rights in Italian pediatric units: a descriptive study based on nurses' perceptions.. BMC Medical Ethics, 16(1), 1-8. doi: 10.1186/s12910-015-0021-0
Europe has issued numerous children's rights charters for solemnly proclaiming their rights during hospitalization. However, despite such general proclamations, whether the rights of hospitalized kids are actually put into practice remains unclear. This study's aim was determining the extent to which their rights, as decreed by two key, current child rights charters, are really implemented and recognized in the pediatric facilities of Italy, and in pediatric divisions of general hospitals in Italy, according to the perception of nurses employed in those healthcare centers. The cross-sectional research employed a 12-item web-based questionnaire; researchers emailed invitations to pediatric nurses employed in Italian hospitals using social networks and professional mailing lists. Responders had to score the extent to which individual rights are obeyed in their work setting on a 1-5 scale (1= never; 5= always). Most nurses indicated that the right to relief from pain is the most crucial. There were considerable differences observed in the execution of rights between different regions of Italy as well as between general hospitals' pediatric divisions and pediatric hospitals. Pediatric nurses were of the view that implementation of hospitalized children's rights in pediatrics divisions in the country is limited up to now. An inadequate implementation of ailing children's rights in pediatric divisions' actual organizational and clinical practice can result in adverse consequences on hospitalized children's QOL (quality of life), as well as the QOL of their families. However, the study enabled researchers to generate previously-unavailable data that could aid decision-makers in taking steps to enhance execution of some of the rights of kids hospitalized at pediatric general hospital wards and pediatric healthcare centers in the country.
Critique
The above work represents a research article wherein authors attempted to ascertain how far children's rights are observed in the course of their stay at hospitals. The authors developed a questionnaire targeted at pediatric nurses in Italy. Most nurses claimed that pain relief was the most crucial right. Their responses indicated that hospitalized children's rights in Italy remain limited.

(2011). The Canadian Human Rights Tribunal on First Nations Child Welfare: Why if Canada wins, equality and justice lose. In Children and Youth Services Review, 33(1), 187-194. doi:10.1016/j.childyouth.2010.09.002.
It has been proven by repeated reports that children of First Nations on reserve enjoy lesser child welfare support compared to other Canadian children, in spite of the former having higher welfare needs. Following the failure of the Canadian Government to come up with two common solutions for addressing the gap, First Nations groups in the nation lodged a human rights grievance claiming that the Canadian Government was displaying discriminatory behavior towards First Nations kids based on ethnicity and race. Currently, this important case is before the CHRT (Canadian Human Rights Tribunal). For the very first time in Canadian history, the government has been condemned in front of a legal agency for the way it is currently treating First Nations and their kids. The above opinion article portrays the facts that preceded and triggered the lodging of the case, the legal processes and grassroots advocacy, following the complaint's filing, and consequences for: minority communities, First Nations kids, and Canada's moral fabric, if the case was ruled in the Government's favor.
Critique
This paper is in the form of an opinion essay that conveys the events that led up to case filing, the legal processes and grassroots advocacy that followed, and the repercussions for: children of First Nations people, other minority communities, and the nation's moral fabric, were the case to be decided in favor of the Canadian Government.

The National Committees in UNICEF have actively participated in addressing every aspect of CRE successfully in one or two places. Concerning children's rights and adequate learning, while there are widespread opportunities for children, it is still not an entitlement in most parts of the world. When programme entitlements exist, it is quite common for links to be established between the rights contained in programme and certain responsibilities, when it should
Ethical Challenges Faced by Multinational Businesses Ethical Challenges Faced by Multinational BusinessesI.

Companies that organize for expansion into the foreign markets must also handle severe ethical and
However, there are often no rules, or weak ones, and that can create an ethical dilemma on the part of marketers. They must decide for themselves what lines they want to cross, and set their own codes of ethics. Where rules only provide guidelines, these can be open to interpretation. As we have seen with the area of marketing to children, however, the marketing industry has kept ahead of the
Information Technology Acts The advancement of information technology has generally been considered to be a good thing, but there are also problems that have been created by it. Some of these have to do with the lack of privacy, and others have to do with the protection of the most vulnerable members of society. Two acts will be discussed here: the Children's Internet Protection Act of 2000 and the Telephone Consumer
Information Technology Acts What were the advances in information technology that resulted in new ethical issues necessitating the creation of each act? One of the common challenges that most regulations will face is keeping up with the changes in the technology. As the law, is designed to provide everyone with some kind of protection against potential abuse. However, improvements in technology have transformed the way that everyone is living their daily lives.
Adtech Summary and Ethical IssuesOne of the harsh realities of innovations in digital technologies is the fact that it is possible to use them to either benefit or potentially harm consumers depending on how they are used. This is certainly the case with adtech, a technological innovation that facilitates location-specific marketing but also allows law enforcement authorities to monitor the whereabouts of consumers for other purposes, including surveillance and interdiction.
