This paper examines the statements of William Clifford and William James about the ethics of religious belief. For Clifford, it is always wrong, morally and logically, to believe something on insufficient evidence. For James, however, Clifford's ethics are flawed. In James' reckoning, humans may subscribe to any belief which is sufficiently alive in their culture, and the justiifation is made with reference to James' philosophy of Pragmatism, where truth is measured in terms of real-world utility.

Officer Accountability An officer's proven dishonesty creates a significant problem for the police department. First, ignoring/covering up the officer's misconduct is out of the question, not because the police department is a bunch of Boy Scouts, but because the possible discovery of ignoring/covering up that dishonesty would be devastating to credibility, not only of the initially dishonest person, but also of the superior or department that ignores or covers up the dishonesty. Secondly, this dishonest police officer jeopardizes every criminal case in which he has testified or will testify. Once a police officer has been officially found to have committed a dishonest act, his/her credibility would be questioned in every case, including past cases in which he/she has testified. In addition, the prosecution will have the duty to disclose that dishonesty to every criminal defendants' attorneys involved in any future case that may require this officer's testimony. Consequently, this officer's dishonesty could conceivably affect the outcome of every single criminal case in which he has testified in the past or will testify in the future. The head of the police department must minimize the damage by removing this officer from the field. Third, this officer has served the department for 15 years and has two "infractions" on his employment record. Under those circumstances, his experience and possible usefulness to the police department should still be taken into account. There are several administrative roles within a police department that do not require an officer to be "in the field" or to testify in court; therefore, this officer could still ably serve in the Department in a curtailed role. Consequently, the officer should be advised that he is removed from work "in the field" and that there will be no negotiation on that point. That removal constitutes his "punishment" for his recently discovered dishonesty. However, the officer will also be offered the opportunity to continue in the Department in an administrative role that never requires his testimony in court. Given the facts of this case, this appears to be a possible fair solution for all concerned.?

Out of all things I expected myself to do, teaching was probably the least of my expectations. However, things unraveled and led me to get a job at ICCD School. Prior to this job, I had no experience as a teacher at any level. However, I had been raised by two parents in the field of education, both of whom would always come home with their share of amazing stories that I enjoyed hearing. I also got an ample amount of opportunities observing my parents at their work place, during breaks, when they would be busy with enrichment programs and would bring me along so that I would be able to spend quality time with them. Although I can't say I spent a lot of time bonding with them during their working hours, I can doubtlessly say I got to learn a lot from those trips. I believe it is because of them that I was inclined to accept a job offer from ICCD.

Health Care Administration and Leadership Health care leaders in the United States have recognized Quality and Safety, Community Health, Health Care Access and Coverage, and Leadership and Governance as 4 vital industry areas. Though all 4 are addressed by The Human Research and Educational Trust (HRET), the two areas of Quality and Safety and Leadership and Governance were chosen for this paper. HRET has significantly impacted both those areas. "Quality and Safety" has been addressed by no fewer than 15 HRET studies, many of which address disparities in health care based on race, ethnicity and primary language, as well as "applied research" projects that may be used by health care providers to constantly improve patient safety. HRET has exerted a strong impact in that area by providing "thought leaders" on U.S. advisory panels, by training health care providers for collection and use of patient data and "pathway tools" used by health care providers. The area of "Leadership and Governance" has been addressed by HRET through surveys and unification of health care CEOs, safety leaders and safety teams throughout the national industry, as well as its Health Services Research journal. HRET has impacted this area as the "research affiliate" of the American Hospital Associations Center for Healthcare Governance and by providing surveys presented at every AHA Center educational meeting for the Blue ribbon Panel on Health Care Governance. Recognizing the importance of leadership, knowledge and the combined intelligence of U.S. Health Care industry leaders, HRET has strongly affected and improved our national health care.

This report presents an analysis of the ethical challenges faced by two organizations—one in the not-for-profit sector named Susan G. Komen for the Cure and one in the for-profit sector named The Lubrizol Corporation. A brief background of the two organizations is provided which also includes a description of the ethical challenge. Several alternatives for each organization are discussed along with implications for various stakeholders. Out of the three alternatives for each organization, two are rejected and the reasons for rejection are also presented. The proposed solution for each organization is discussed and is followed by a detailed recommendation based on specific steps and measures to be taken by the management. The report concludes with a reflection on the qualities of an effective response to real-life ethical challenges faced by organizations.
