¶ … company's corporate social responsibility is to rectify the fraud and return the money to the customers. Moreover, the company needs to report the culprit to the authorities. If the culprit is my spouse's sibling, I would have a personal ethical responsibility to alert my spouse prior to taking action, but I would not allow any personal pleas for leniency to impede justice. Potential challenges might be the relationship with my spouse, but that is a personal challenge that has little to do with how to proceed with Dell. The concept of corporate social responsibility has more to do with broader issues, such as Dell's commitment to the environment or its policies about LGBTQ employees (Thorpe, 2013). However, this case does demonstrate more fundamental ethical tenets.
Scenario It was the professor's responsibility to log out of the computer. Taking the test answers and passing them off as my own does not actually harm anyone. It does not harm me in the sense that I do not care about the course, and in fact it helps me to pass a course that means very little to me. Retaking the course could mean my dropping out of school because paying the additional fee could be a tremendous hardship. Given the professor's predilection for weighting the examination score as a full 20% of the grade, I would opt to take advantage of the stroke of good luck as long as I am willing to accept the consequences if I were to get caught. The consequences could mean I was actually suspended from school. If I make the choice to cheat, I would also contend with feelings of guilt in the long run, but only if the course had been central to my major. I am basing my ethical decision on the school of thought known as rational egoism (Moseley, 2016).
How I act in this scenario depends on whether or not the course is meaningful to me. Given I am performing at only 60%, I might not be that interested in the course. I might be able to look at the test scores being on that specific computer as being a

Ethical Decision Making Process The case study at hand involves a number of issues. The first and foremost is that of the treatment and counseling of an addict that refuses to admit that he has a problem that needs to be dealt with in order for him to not only lead a normal healthy life but also might have implications for his family life. Additionally, the patient involved refuses to keep

Ethical Decision Ethical Dilemma and Decision Making In the selected scenario, a therapy patient is beginning to develop a trusting relationship with his therapist after spending a fir amount of time dealing with his depression. Under-employed and under-insured, it is clear that the patient still needs help but it is less clear that he has the necessary resources to continue paying for his therapy. Insurance payments could be guaranteed by embellishing his
Ethical Decision 'Not to Resuscitate' is indeed a difficult decision that has to be made by the patient, when he or she is in good health, or the guardians of the patient. However, according to the law and ethical code of conduct, the medical practitioner, or whoever is in charge of the health care of a patient in a hospital setting, should always inform the patient about the whole procedure (L.,
Fidelity is also an obligation, to the journalist's ethics in particular truthtelling. Beneficence could be applied to helping law enforcement. As the decision at hand consists of two mutually exclusive options, one of these obligations would need to be overriding. It is most likely that for the journalist this would be to communicate all of the information in keeping with the journalistic code of ethics. This approach, however, does
Ethical Decision Making New Year's Eve Crisis The ethical issues related here include the financial health of both Michael's Pasta Company (which now includes Southern Pasta) and of the restaurant chain affected by the tainted products, and the physical health of restaurant patrons. Other ethical issues such as simple honesty and business integrity are also involved in the case details, though they do not really affect the decision to be made. Stakeholders include
