As seen in the concept of rectification of names, people can build orderly and harmonious societies when they clearly understand the duties associated with each other of the basic relationships and strive to fulfill their duties to the best of their abilities. The father must rectify or live up to his title by providing for his son's educational and vocational training and teaching them virtue, etiquette and reverence in tradition and authority. (Slavicek, 2002:33)
Confucianism discusses social duty in terms of the family and how the individual's character in dealing with the community is shaped by the family. In the Confucian perspective, the family is the center of all values that the individual would learn and practice as the individual deals with other members of the community. This perspective shows a distinct Eastern philosophical leaning whereby the family is at the fulcrum in explaining the social duty of the person.…...

Western Australia's Department Of Education Duty Care Policy Statement
Western Australia's Department of Education Duty of Care Policy Statement
Teachers have a duty to care for their students. In order to ensure that teachers are responsible and held accountable for an appropriate level of care for their students, teachers in Western Australia have to follow the tenants of the Western Australia's Department of Education Duty of Care Policy Statement. The document provides three main tenants all teachers and school facilities must obey: teaching staff has the responsibility to prevent foreseeable harm from occurring to their students, use professional judgment in the execution of responsibilities, and provide the appropriate level of supervision (Government of Western Australia Department of Education 2007).
The first scenario presents a case where a teacher is trying to teach a student better behavior through punishment strategies using a time out. In this case, the teacher removed a disruptive student from…...

Negligent Torts
Proximate Causation, Duty of Care and "But for"
According to Bjorklun (1999), the largest amount of litigation in the area of personal injury consists of unintentional torts. The definition provided by Black's Law Dictionary indicates that a tort in general is "a private or civil wrong or injury including action for bad faith breach of contract for which the court will provide a remedy in the form of an action for damages" (1999, p. 1489). As Bjorklun emphasizes, though, "Not every unintentional act that results in an injury to another person or in damage to property is a tort. In day-to-day living, an individual engages in numerous activities that involve varying degrees of risk of injury to another. It is only those acts that are negligent that form the basis for a tort" (1999, p. 82). Therefore, unintentional torts are referred to as "negligent torts" by many legal scholars,…...

Chaplain's Duty
During the middle Ages, one of the most important people in a community was the religious leader. Christianity in the time period was the preeminent religion and the leader of the church would be extremely powerful. ithin the church, there were several different jobs that a person could take and each would have specific responsibilities and duties to fulfill. One of these positions, the chaplain would have responsibilities that more directly tied him to the church building than other members of the clergy. Among the duties of the chaplain were providing spiritual guidance to laborers, supervising architecture and tending the chapel, and also clerking and keeping the accounts of the church.
By definition, the chaplain was a priest or monk who was in direct charge of the chapel. His responsibilities would include the maintenance and upkeep of his designated chapel (Medieval). This would include all building repairs, cleaning, and clerical…...

Ethical Dilemma of Sleeping on Duty
Taking naps while on duty may cause individuals to be suspended from their jobs. Particularly in the field of law enforcement, sleeping while on duty is regarded as a serious form of misconduct, generally leading to disciplinary action, and in some cases, employment termination. Individuals may intentionally or unintentionally fall asleep at work. This employee misdemeanor is considered a serious issue and is mentioned in a majority of personnel handbooks. It has adverse impacts on productivity, and may be dangerous when the person in question is supposed to be alert and on surveillance, to prevent a harmful situation from occurring. Furthermore, sleeping at work reflects unprofessionalism. Different organizations have different attitudes towards this misdemeanor - while some are tolerant and permit personnel to take naps in between work hours under their policy of improving productivity, others are strongly against it, and make use of…...

duty-based or deontological ethics will be defined and applied to Mattel Inc.'s case.
Duty-Based Ethics
Duty-based or deontological ethics deals with what individuals do, rather than the outcomes of their doings. Its key tenets are:
Do what is ethically right.
Do it since it's ethically right.
efrain from doing wrong things.
efrain from doing them since they're wrong.
Under deontological ethics, one cannot simply validate one's actions by proving that its end result was good; thus, this approach is occasionally termed as "non-Consequentialist." "Deontological" is derived from deon (the Greek term for "duty"). This ethical approach is commonly referred to as 'the principle of the thing', by society (BBC - Ethics - Introduction to ethics: Duty-based ethics). It teaches us that specific actions are wrong or right due to the "types" of actions they are. Further, individuals are duty-bound to act in accordance to this knowledge, irrespective of whether the outcomes are bad or good.
HIV and duty to warn for counselors: Does Tarasoff apply?," Stanard and Hazler confront the ethical dilemma posed by a counselor having knowledge that a patient is HIV positive but that the patient has not disclosed his status to his sexual partners. In the hypothetical scenario discussed in the article, the patient is a bisexual male who has sex with his wife and with male partners. The article does not make it clear whether the patient's wife is aware that he is bisexual and is having sex with multiple partners. Generally, information disclosed to a counselor is protected under confidentiality. However, in Tarasoff v. egents of University of California, 1976, the Supreme Court held that a counselor who knew or should have known that a client posed a danger to another person had a duty to warn the intended victim (Stanard & Hazler, 1995). The question posed by this…...

Kant Morals
Kant focused on presenting the idea of good as being a concept that should not be defined by relating to a series of attitudes and behaviors that some communities are likely to identify as good. Instead, he attempted to show morality in its entirety as the only good thing and as being strongly related to good will. Even with the fact that he emphasizes occasions in which people can put across helpful attitudes toward others on account of their personal interests, he also related to how someone can actually behave morally without expecting something in return. This is, from Kant's perspective a good example of a person considering that it is his or her sense of duty that fuels them rather than the feeling that they are going to profit from the enterprise.
An individual who behaves morally practically abandons all desires in order to experience a type of happiness…...
Duties
The directors of a corporation are, essentially, the representatives of the shareholders in the administration of the company. They are charged with the task of administering the corporation in such a way that preserves the assets of the shareholders, and that they receive a good return on their investments. As such, the Board of Directors is the "highest governing authority within the management structure at any publicly traded company" (Kennon, 2012).
Among the tasks that the directors perform that help them in their role are the following: to select the Chief Executive Officer and set the CEO pay; evaluate the attractiveness of and to authorize dividends; recommend stock splits and share repurchase programs; approve the company's financial statements and give advice on mergers and acquisitions (Kennon, 2012). The Board often works with the CEO on some of these issues, such as dividends and M&A activity, but the Board is also responsible…...

In addition, the SCO is also responsible for coordinating inter-command agreements that set forth the details of contracting support relationships between United States armed forces and coordinating operational plans or requirements that originate with the Joint Staff as well as the provision of host nation support, status of forces agreement, assistance in kind agreements, or any treaties for Contingency Contracting Officer review (Contracting Officer's Authority, 2011).
This final responsibility also requires a high level of expertise and experience in the relevant field. For example, Bianca reports that, "Senior level contracting requires more knowledge of the impact of business trends and new laws on an organization. The contracting function, under the supervision of a senior contracting officer, must help the organization achieve its strategic goals" (2010, p. 2). With respect to the coordination of joint contracting operations, Bianca adds that, "A senior contracting officer may resolve issues and disputes, terminate or…...

Teaching the fundamentals does not necessarily mean stripping the fun out of learning, however. In fact, the best educators know how to balance the wishes of students with core concepts. For example, teaching Homers Odyssey could include both a close reading of the primary text, an analysis of the text using literary criticism, plus an analysis of modern manifestations of the work, such as the Coen brothers' film O Brother here Art Thou. Developing a broad-based curriculum can extend fundamental knowledge about literature, making that knowledge applicable to a wide range of literary works. hen educators are able to incorporate popular culture into a traditional curriculum, their work becomes creative and powerful. Students who can apply themes and philosophies to works beyond that which they encounter in the classroom have really learned something. However, by simply mimicking popular culture, the educator deprives students of the ability to think critically. A…...

The situation I have chosen assumes a subject of twenty years old who has attempted to commit suicide because his parents passed away in an accident recently. The subject has been under severe depression due to a string of traumatic experiences in his life. He feels despondent and is unaware of what to do. He feels that he is living without a purpose in this life and assumes himself as being unwanted and unaware. He has just lost the two people who according to him were the only two people who actually loved him and cared for him. He tried to kill himself recently by having sleeping pills. After being rushed to the hospital and having been saved, he is now sitting in front of me as my client waiting to be counseled.

duty of any state to provide its citizens security and without doubt the police are the face of this security. Time and again efforts have been made to find ways to fulfill this obligation, community policing being one such step. Community policing, often known as 'foot patrol', has become a dominant process and adheres to the idea of collaboration between the police and the community to identify and solve problems. This concept involves the community to ally the police in its efforts to ensure safety in any particular neighborhood. This concept focuses on creating a partnership and a foundation of trust which enables the community to voice their concerns, give their valuable suggestions and assist the police to address the problems. The output in any case is one; to enhance the quality of life for the community.
Community policing should not be regarded as a substitute for all other needed…...

The practice of nursing is strongly guided by ethical theories and principles, because nurses are charged with the duty of taking proper care of patients and ensuring that they do no harm to them. The principles, values, and morals they must adhere to are based on what is needed for them to provide the maximum benefit and level of care to the largest number of patients on a daily basis. The values and morals they hold may differ from those of the patients they care for, and they must be careful to avoid putting down on or otherwise dismissing what....
One of the most interesting issues in international relations is the role that nuclear weapons play in the effort to obtain peace. Many people suggest that nuclear weapons can preserve peace. The United States was the first country to actively deploy nuclear weapons in an effort to shorten a war by dropping atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. The widespread destruction, which was unlike anything ever experienced in a war up to that point, is often credited with ushering in the end of World War II, at least in the Pacific....
Perhaps the biggest challenge when selecting a topic for a dissertation is trying to choose something unique. You want to be able to add something new to your field, but in an area like human resources, it is not like you are likely to be creating new research. We have noticed an increased interest in two particular aspects of human resources: globalization and aptitude testing. Therefore, either of those broad topics would make a good jumping-off point for a thesis about human resources.
Accounting ethics are incredibly important because accountants are entrusted with handling money for individuals, businesses, and other organizations. Unethical accountants can expose a business to financial risks and liabilities, even if their breaches of ethics do not amount to criminal behavior or involve intentional wrongdoing on the part of the accountant. Huge financial scandals, such as Enron, could not occur without ethical breaches on the part of the accountants because the financial structure of large organizations requires at least passive participation in wrongdoing by people at the accountant level. Accountant ethics are....
