Ethics

Topic:  A senior Boeing engineer filed an internal ethics complaint this year saying that during the development of the 737 Max jet the company had rejected a safety system to minimize costs, equipment that he felt could have reduced risks that contributed to two fatal crashes Get into the design and training issues, you can include the whistleblower complaint but you need to address the big issue.  Be sure to use the FAA  report, there is a Congressional report and the shareholder lawsuit. Identify the ethical risks to which Boeing is subject to and develop a management strategy and program to manage those risks.  Recommendations should be developed to ensure that the corporate culture supports the corporation’s code of conduct and to ensure that the specific failures are corrected.  Take the role of the Corporate Ethics Officer for one of the companies of the cases or roundtables.  Develop a corporate ethics program for Boeing.  You must raise and address the ethical risks to which the company is subject, and develop a program to correct those ethics failures which occurred.

Address the following points in your discussion: What is the speaker’s point of view about the topic? Is the speaker biased? What ethical issues and ethical reasoning are argued? Do you think that bio-engineering issues have moral and ethical implications? Why or why not? Do you agree with the speaker’s point of view? Be specific and thorough. Express how and why you agree or disagree and discuss how ethics and values contribute to your opinion. Consider the theoretical concepts discussed in the course. Do not just state your viewpoint, rather provide relevant details to support your findings and/or position.

Scenario: What is ethics? why is it important for a business professional to be equitable and fair in any hiring process or decision? You have just interviewed three candidates for an entry-level position at your organization.  One candidate is a friend of a coworker who has implored you to give this friend a chance.  This candidate is the weakest of the three but has sufficient skills and knowledge to adequately fill the position.  Who do you hire?

Each student will do solo or group work on an aspect of citizenship such as education, healthcare, voting (if your country has it), or some other big topic you can argue is important for being a good citizen. The goal will be to relate all of the ethical systems we study to this larger topic – we will comment on all of the systems, but not all of them will work well.  Goals: 1. Find information: Research the area of your choice, whether education, healthcare, justice, service work, etc. Examples of how to start the research: Interview someone, visit a site, watch a video (includes documentary movies). 2. Organize information: Identify three key findings from your research. 3. Identify a problem: Explain one problem the community is facing. 4. Create a citizen-plan-of-action: Draw or write up a description of potential solutions for the problem.  5. Reference theory: Identify specific theories to support your plan of action – this is where you will link to ethical systems we study in this course. 6. Present the citizen-plan-of-action to a small group in class. If you do a paper (you can do a web site, game, song, video, etc.): five pages, double-spaced, 12 pt Times New Roman. No more than 3 references. Do not quote a lot of other people. Write this yourself. The paper is worth 20 points for five pages.  I would rather you turn in four pages that you wrote (for a deduction in points) than five pages with other people’s words in it. Do not turn in fewer than three pages. Write in your own words. I want you to be the kind of person who does the work and does not try to take a shortcut. THIS IS AN EXAMPLE ONLY Here is a sample submission, in which I define my terms, explain how each of the ethical systems relates to the topic (including which is best and which is least helpful), and provide a personal solution. Your conclusion may focus more on what the larger society should do. Your paper will be about twice as long as this one!   THE ROLE OF JOURNALISM IN CITIZENSHIP   The facets include responsible journalists, who provide a window into the workings of as free society, and also of consumers of responsible journalism, who use well-researched stories to make decisions about government, education, and more.   The ongoing problem, made acute by recent events, is that many journalists are charged with being first rather than being correct, and consumers do not know who to trust. The solution, seen broadly, is for journalists to return to proper techniques, and for consumers to identify half a dozen responsible sources and only read those.   ETHICAL SYSTEMS   Cultural relativism is useful in acknowledging that a writer or news service may come from a particular tradition of supporting the government, or of private enterprise, or of some other specific organization. Stories generated by this group may still be useful, but must be taken in context.   Religion: Journalism on a religious topic must also be understood within a very specific context. It may be relevant only to members of a particular religious group.   Ethical egoism: The ethical egoist journalist probably will not exist in a free society, as such a person is interested in benefitting the larger group. Journalists are normally not in the profession to make lost of money. A consumer of responsible journalism, however, might be an ethical egoist who chooses her sources carefully.   Social contract: This ethical system fits responsible journalism very well in a free society. The journalist seeks out errors in the contract which need correcting, and the consumer consults responsible journalists to know what needs fixing.   Utilitarianism: This system also overlaps nicely with social contract. The responsible journalist is interested in exposing problems which affect the larger group. The consumer appreciates stories on issues which affect many people.   Kant: The responsible journalist has a code of conduct which cannot be broken under any circumstances, including multiple sources and fact-checking layers. This approach is as Kantian as it gets. It is less necessary that a consumer of responsible journalist be a Kantian.   Feminist ethics: Feminism probably does not have a significant contribution to this topic, other than to remind us that we need the roles of journalists to be filled by a diverse corps.   Virtue: A responsible journalist will choose to live out several virtues, including integrity, honesty and dependability. A consumer will trust the journalist and her organization, and hold that group to a high standard.   CONCLUSION, PLAN OF ACTION   As with most issues, virtue ethics provides us with the most angles for solutions. As with many public issues, religion is least helpful for creating public policy; it should remain private.   Responsible journalism can be an important aspect of a free society, by keeping track of various organizations and how well they are performing their duties.   I will continue to adjust the news sources I trust by consulting a new one each week, to see how it holds up to those I already trust. My first step is to find a news source that leans toward conservative angles in the United States. I also intend to try Al_Jazeera, on certain topics.

Psychologists have long-since claimed that children are especially vulnerable to influence, whether favorable or unfavorable experiences, during their early formative years. Certain storylines in films require the use of child actors to portray criminal and even savage characters or be on the receiving end of violence. Consider the morality (not legality) of using child actors for such violent roles. Do you believe that using children in such roles is morally acceptable? Would your answer be different if the violence depicted was based on a true story of events or strictly fictional? How does this issue relate to the use of violent video games in children? Be sure to discuss how at least one ethical theory (virtue, utilitarianism, etc.) would respond to this issue. Dimmock, M., & Fisher, A. (2017). Ethics for A-level.

For this assignment you will identify a current ethical issue from those provided, and analyze it from the perspective of Mill’s utilitarianism, Kant’s deontological ethic, and Aristotle’s virtue ethic. Conclude your presentation by defending one of these approaches. You can use the same ethical theory that you used for your Final Paper, or you can use a different one.

Participants’ description will be 5-10 African American educated professionals who are successful, in order to gain a true understanding on whether blacks who are well educated and successful still face barriers, and hence are reparations are the only true answer to equality?

The purpose of Chapter 3 was to introduce you to the role and function of professional ethics.  But beyond this cognitive purpose, the hope was also to stimulate you to begin to value the need for a professional code of ethics and a desire to embrace it for your profession.  The following is intended to assist you in this valuing process.  Read each of the following scenarios.  Identify and discuss areas of ethical concern in which issues of autonomy, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and justice may be operative: In the case illustration throughout the chapter, the client, Maria, shared the possibility that she was having unprotected sex with a boyfriend whom she identified as having AIDS.  Since AIDS is a medical condition and sexual activity is a personal decision, should either of these issues be of ethical concern for Ms. Wicks, the counselor? Given your current level of training and the ethical concern for practicing within one’s level of competence, what type of helping or for what type of client or problem do you currently feel competent to assist?  What else will you need to do to increase your level of competence to be an ethical professional? If codes of ethics are commonly shared guidelines to be employed by each member of a specific profession, what role and level of responsibility does a member have in monitoring that his or her colleagues practice ethically? Identify two forms of unethical practice that you feel deserve maximum sanctioning by one’s profession.  What form should the sanctioning take? This assignment will be graded based on: Quality of content including the ability to communicate and demonstrate insight into your values and how they impact your opinion, your ability to clearly identify a goal and treatment strategy, as well as clearly stating how your opinions, biases, values and culture experiences have influenced your choices
