In this course, we learned that it is important to utilize the prevailing ethical perspectives, in particular to find the one most appropriate to the situation. The consequentialist perspective sheds light on my conclusions -- that national interest is the ultimate objective of both press freedoms and military action but that the latter form of national interest is more immediate in nature and therefore should supersede the former. I feel that my ability to examine this ethical dilemma from a number of viable perspectives and to determine the best perspective and subsequently apply that perspective is evidence that I have mastered the concepts of this course.
The role of press freedom in communication is at the heart of this issue. The ethics of the communication, when the dilemma involves two mutually exclusive points of national interest, is difficult...
In providing a framework for this evaluation and for this discussion I feel that I have demonstrated competency in the subject matter of this course.
At the outset of this course it was determined that by the time the course was completed we as students should be able to identify an ethical dilemma, determine the different perspectives at work and utilize those perspectives in order to resolve the dilemma. I approached a contentious issue that had multiple equally valid perspectives and I was able to identify the issues and stakeholders involved. From there I applied the relevant ethical schools of though to bring the issue to a decisive resolution. This is precisely what we were intended to be able to do at the end of the course, so I feel that my term paper is evidence that I have met the goals of the course and mastered the objectives.
ethical issues have been increasingly brought to the forefront. This is because a variety of challenges are impacting the way executives and employees are behaving inside the workplace. A good example of this can be seen by looking no further than Tyco. What happened is Dennis Kozlowski was the CEO of the company from the early 1990s until 2002. This is when a wide scale fraud was reported, as
Toyota has been doing so for decades. If the NHTSA officials deliberately ignored possible safety violations in Toyota vehicles, their effect upon the economy would be twofold: firstly, of course, is the problem of the obvious safety hazard this poses for drivers. Second, because Toyota was insulated from bad publicity regarding its brand, unlike American car manufactures, this gave Toyota an unfair competitive advantage and must be cited as one
Ethics of Managed Healthcare Healthcare policy has emerged as one of the most important issues in American politics and will continue to drive significant aspects of contemporary American public policy debates in the near future. That is because, on one hand, the United States has maintained a system of economic Social Security programs since the post-Depression era of the 1930s and government funded healthcare since the 1960s that reflect a fundamental
Strategic Human Resource Management Ethical Stewardship Strategic Human Resource Management as Ethical Stewardship Over the past few decades, the most controversial debate between the professional economic research institutions (practitioners) and the academic institutions (scholars) has been on the strategic human resource management and the adoption of ethical stewardship framework. Currently, most of the economic and business studies and research on the strategic human resource management (SHRM) elicit that human resource professionals possess
This could have been interpreted as the company having an orientation more towards money-making than to the development of strong ethics. Leadership, or lack thereof, made a strong contribution to the Tyco failure. The company's leaders set the cultural tone of the firm, but they were also among the primary actors engaged in the fraud. Kozlowski and the other executives were front and center in the fraud, and committed many
