¶ … pre-provided Kirst-Ashman text that focuses on values. There will be a brief two page review of the chapter and what was learned from the same. Alongside the summary of the topics of value and ethnic maters, there will be at least one example given what relates to the ethical or value-based problem presented for the agency that the author is familiar with and how it was solved. While ethics and values may seem to be common sense and easy to decipher to many, there are some layers and variations that must be accounted for and taken seriously.
As noted at the very onset of the chapter in question, the very first chapter of the relevant text covered values and ethics. However, this chapter goes a bit deeper in that it explains how common sense can devolve into confusion if the proper factors and decision points are not taken into account. Also important to remember, per the chapter text, is that ethics and values are similar and related but they are not the same thing. Values come down to what is good and desirable for a given organization or situation. On the other hand, ethics come down to what is right and correct. Indeed, there could be an amount of discord between what is "correct" and what is "desirable" for the same situation. When these imperfections rise to the top, there are often situations that lead to solutions that are incomplete, less than perfect and be, in short, a mixed bag for everyone involved.
One example...
What is "desirable" to one person may be similar to the dominant and common group of an employer or there may be some or a lot of variation. Indeed, a Muslim in a group of mostly Christians is going to have a different mindset. At the very least, that outcome is at least somewhat likely. Similarly, a person that has been doing business in the United Kingdom is going to find that things are a little different if that same person comes to the United States. This does not mean that the people and parties involved cannot get alone and come to a resolution, quite the opposite. The point is that doing so will likely be more complex and hard to solve than if everyone is more homogenous and monolithic.
With that in mind, it can be useful to conduct a full and honest appraisal of personal a professional values. This is valuable from an introspective standpoint as well as an outward-facing and collective one. Beyond that, taking an ethical dilemma that is already complex and less than easy to solve can be made all the more worse when value and ethical conflicts come into play. Even with the prevailing culture is seemingly the same…
Perception, Personality and Individual Differences and Ethics The following pages focus on analyzing three articles on perception, personality, and individual differences and ethics. These issues were selected because of their importance to human interrelationships, influence on human behavior, and importance on communication. In order to understand how these concepts can be efficiently used, it is important to study articles that explain the processes behind these concepts, how they work, and how
Ethics, Morality, Values, And Beliefs According to "the ethics site," an Internet resource for college instructors regarding the teaching of different ethical systems, ethics may be defined as "the explicit, philosophical reflection on moral beliefs and practices. The difference between ethics and morality is similar to the difference between musicology and music. Ethics is a conscious stepping back and reflecting on morality, just as musicology is a conscious reflection on music."
Our society values tolerance, diversity, and the American Dream. Illegal immigration is not immoral, nor even unethical except for the fact that working illegally breaks the law. Following the law is usually considered a moral and ethical act. Firms that hire illegal immigrants may do so in spite of how the general culture feels about the behavior. A firm that values profit, for example, might hire illegal immigrants in

The "Safety First" scenario is even less cut-and-dry for me. If a company wants to increase its profit margin and include a high-end line of clothing, then it has the right to do so. I do not believe that a company can prevent or control crime through its pricing strategies. Shoplifting is not necessarily related to the presence of luxury goods. I feel that crime is a reflection of overarching
Ethics and Decision Making Values and Decision Making The process of making a moral or ethical decision is governed largely by the values that are applied when making the decision. In any case where a decision is being made, there are a range of values that can potentially impact the decision. These include personal values, organizational values, and cultural values. The value system that is most significant will depend on both the
