Abstract
This paper analyzes the primary role of professional associations' codes of ethics. It provides an example of such a code of ethics by discussing the American Society of Newspaper Editors' code of ethics. The paper describes the principles of the code and the values that are included in each principle. The paper then discusses the necessity of codes of ethics for a professional association, specifically American journalists.
From the Paper
"Decision-making processes may be assessed by examining the courses of actions and past unethical or ethical decisions. A good example of unethical business conduct and unethical decisions is Boeing Company, where repeated unethical behaviors and decisions have been manifest in the course of time: unethical hiring, leasing, biddings etc. despite the fact that they have a published Code of Ethics. In problem solving, it is again important to promote ethical alternatives in order to adopt a fair solution for the parties involved. The importance of the code and of the system of inquiry in establishing these alternatives is valuable."

The Church and State Weigh in on Abortion, 2008.
This paper argues that abortion is a moral issue and one that does not belong in the courts.

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that on April 18, 2007, the Supreme Court handed down its decision on 'Gonzales v Carhart', et al. The writer points out that the decision, important to pro-life advocates, supports and leaves unaltered the partial birth abortion law. The writer explains that this makes it illegal to perform an abortion beyond the first trimester of a woman's pregnancy if that procedure to terminate the pregnancy involves the physician bringing the fetus - viable at that point - outside the womb, thereby effectively making that fetus a person residing in the locale into which it has at that moment been delivered. The writer maintains that it is unthinkable that the courts and the public has arrived at this point in time where the Supreme Court must decide the issue of whether or not it is acceptable to terminate a partially birthed life. The writer concludes that abortion is not a matter of constitutionality, but a moral one, and one that does not belong before the Supreme Court.
From the Paper
"For those conservative pro-lifers who would applaud these last few sentences as sentences in support of their conservative views and their right to impose those views on society, the caution is to go forward carefully, because that is not the case. Nor is it in support of the liberal pro-abortion lobby and supporters. The liberals, who in some ways are more mysterious than the conservatives in that they are the very same people who stand outside prison gates with candles in protest of humane administration of a lethal combination of chemicals that ensures the termination of the life of a mass murderer, or another felon whose crime is so heinous as to warrant social intervention in deciding whether or not that individual should continue to draw breath. Do not rally, because this writer finds it extremely odd that this group advocates on behalf of the life which walks the earth, having committed heinous acts of violence, and is at the same time not willing to afford the same support or opportunity for life of a viable fetus whose value to society has yet to be determined. Rather, both groups have driven this writer to the narrow edge of law, considering the law in its legalese only and in its role in the order of society and especially in light of separation of powers."

Introduction
Ethics
Confidentiality
Professionalism
From the Paper
"For some families by the time they call the family therapist it is a last resort. They have spent months if not years trying to resolve the internal conflict on their own to no avail. In addition by the time they make that call for help one or more of the family members may have already given up and the therapy is a last ditch effort to save the marriage or family unit. For those who have not struggled for years but are making the call, it can be a court ordered situation which places all family members on the defense."

Corporate Fraud and ethical problems in Business world
Enron: A case in point
What has been done?
From the Paper
"There is probably one name that doesn't escape anyone's mind when we talk about corporate fraud. And this name is that of Enron. No discussion of corporate fraud is ever complete without the name of Enron. Enron was formed when two energy companies, Houston Natural Gas and InterNorth, decided to merge their operations in 1985. The company achieved tremendous success, as energy trading firm and it was the first firm of its kind where energy was traded as any other commodity. In the short span of 15 years, the company managed to gain rise to heights of success as it turned from a regulated natural gas company into world's largest energy trader. With 21,000 employees and operations in more than 30 countries, the company it seemed was doing extremely well and this was further supported by the evidence presented by its auditors."

Personal Critique: Why Arguments Are Important
From the Paper
"Fletcher also talks about this under his category "antinomianism": this is the approach which one takes when entering the "decision-making situation armed with no principles or maxims whatsoever, to say nothing of rules." And to carry the analogy along a bit more, with reference to Fletcher's philosophy, did Bush take the antinomianism approach in 2002, 2003, when putting forth the dishonest notion that Saddam Hussein had nuclear weapons and for the safety of all Americans the U.S. military needed to crush him? Most interesting among his three features of Christian ethics is "situationism," which Fletcher places "between" legalism and antinomianism. This third maxim is used when the person is not making a decision based on a rock-solid Christian footing; i.e., the situation dictates whether it's a good idea to go ahead or not. According to "love's needs," Fletcher writes on page 208, the situationist follows "a moral law or violates it."

Abstract
This paper questions whether it is ethical to use business perks in a personal situation. In particular, the paper discusses a case in which the Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin, utilized for personal use, business orientated air miles. The paper highlights that, in Martin's case, there were specific codes ad rules condemning such use, which made using business air miles for personal use unethical. After much discussion on the issue, the paper concludes that this is a direct case where using air miles for personal use is completely unethical. The paper also highlights that there are many cases, however, in which use of company air miles may be ethical such as in cases where people were not directly told not to do so by their companies.
From the Paper
"However, in the case of the Speaker of the House of Commons, Michael Martin, there were several key factors which his case much different than those previously mentioned. In February 2008, a scandal broke out in regards to his own personal use of business accumulated air miles. According to the article "Pressure Mounts on Speaker Amid Complaints over His Expenses," written by Nicholas Watt, Martin flew his wife and family in business class, using his air miles, knowing that this was condemned by the very organization which financed his initial trips. Particular rules, as outlined by the Members Estimate Committee, state that these air miles should be reinvested into future business travel expenses. This was well known by Martin at the time of his personal use, for he actually sits as chair of this very organization. Along with these allegations, Martin is also being accused of spending around 4,000 pounds to cart around his wife in a private car at the business expense."

Findings of the Study

From the Paper
"The findings of the foregoing review of literature include the finding that ethical behavior in an organization does not 'just happen' but is intentional, incorporated, integrated, disseminated, communication, and woven into the very fabric of the organizational culture. Ideologically, ethics are demonstrated by those in leadership roles and younger employees are able to follow by the examples set in leadership. Ethics are existent or absent in an organizational culture are rarely in reality in what is commonly known as the gray area of what is acceptable. Ethical or unethical behavior is interwoven into every nook and cranny of the organization including purchasing, and sales, upper, middle and lower management levels. Ethical behavior either 'is' or 'is not' within the organizational behavior framework. Changing of the ethical culture of an organization requires training older and younger employees differently and requires individualization for different types of individuals in the organization. The findings that are considered key in this review of literature is as related that ethical behavior integrated into the organizational culture through leadership role models in ethical behavior. Finally, this work has reviewed the roles of Top- and Middle-management in supporting ethical behavior in the organization's culture as well as has this work related the roles of supervisors, coworkers and employees toward changing the organizational ethical culture."

B. F. Skinner's Baby Box, 2008.
This paper discusses the baby box B.F. Skinner used for his infant daughter.

Abstract
This paper discusses B.F. Skinner's baby box and the controversy surrounding the use of the invention. The paper first explains that the primary purpose of the box was to keep Skinner's baby daughter warm, safe and comfortable. The paper then discusses the arguments in favor of using the box as well as the arguments opposed to its use. The paper also includes the writer's personal opinion about using the baby box.
From the Paper
"When B. F. Skinner built his 'baby box' it worked very well, but a lot of people were concerned that it was a 'cage' in which to keep his child. Some of this undoubtedly came from the fact that Skinner was a serious proponent of operant conditioning, where he taught a rat to pull a lever in a box in order to be given food. Naturally, this was extended to the belief that he was doing the same thing with his infant daughter - putting her in a cage and requiring her to perform certain actions in order to be given food and other necessities. Of course, this was not true, but it did not stop people from saying it."

Embryo Donation, 2008.
A look at the subject of embryo donation.

»

Abstract
This paper discusses the issue of embryo donation, which is related to a number of moral, legal, psychological and social implications. The paper relates that, in spite of these implications, embryo donation is, nevertheless, the only solution to incapability of producing cells in a few patients. This paper then sums up the symptoms for embryo donation as well as the process and contemplation in preparing both the donors and the recipients.
From the Paper
"Embryo donation is examined to be a sort of third party reproduction. In vitro fertilisation frequently results in a number of frozen, unused embryos after the woman for whom they were originally created has successfully supported one or more pregnancies to term. In embryo donation, these additional embryos are provided to other couples or women with the aim of causing a successful pregnancy. The child produced after following this entire process is supposed to be the child of the woman who takes it and gives birth, and not the child of the donor, the same as happens with egg donation or sperm donation."

Abstract
The paper discusses the 1930 United States Public Health Service's (PHS) study on the long-term effects of untreated syphilis, known as the Tuskegee experiment. The paper reveals the shocking ethical and
human rights violations and compares them to the horrific experiments conducted by the Nazis on concentration camp prisoners in the Holocaust. The paper notes that this study was authorized,
administrated and perpetuated by the highest levels of U.S. government. The paper discusses how, ironically, this experiment was practically worthless scientifically.

Ethical Analysis
From the Paper
"In 1930, the United States Public Health Service (PHS) initiated a large study into the causes and treatments of syphilis and gonorrhea, which had to be substantially reduced in size and expense once the Great Depression took hold of the country shortly thereafter. Since insufficient funding was available for the original study, PHS officials scaled back the original study in 1932 and shifted its focus from treating the diseases to simply studying the long-term effects of untreated syphilis (Lehrer 1997)."

Ethics in Medicine, 2008.
An application of three ethical theories to a case of patient information privacy.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that the practice of modern medicine often entails dealing with ethical dilemmas. The paper then focuses on three ethical theories, the feminist (or care-based) ethic, Kantian ethics and utilitarian ethics, and applies them to a specific case where a patient has expressed her specific wishes not to notify her family about her medical condition. The paper explains why according to all these theories, the doctor is prohibited from divulging any of her medical information to anyone without her consent.
Outline:
Introduction
Feminist Ethical Analysis
Kantian Analysis
Utilitarian Analysis
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The practice of modern medicine often entails dealing with ethical dilemmas. Where those decisions are not dictated by law, it is up to the practitioner to make the best possible choice. Sometimes, the issue makes that decision easy; other times, no ideal choice is possible under the circumstances. Bioethics requires the practitioner to consider all reasonable options and to make a good faith attempt to weigh them in a logically sound manner. The problem is that, unlike medicine, "Ethics is not a science; it is an art that requires every ounce of moral imagination, emotion, and thoughtthat we can muster." (Tong 2007)"

Cheating in School, 2008.
This paper explores the increase in cheating by students in recent years.
2,184 words (approx. 8.7 pages), 10 sources, APA, $ 68.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature to identify current faculty and student perceptions of cheating behavior and any differences and similarities in how the behaviors are defined. The paper analyzes how perceptions of cheating have been affected by students' technology experience as well as the increased pressure to succeed academically.
Outline:
Introduction
Review and Discussion
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Today, Americans use the word "cheat" to describe a wide range of activities that all involve depriving another of some right or property through deceptive means. The severity of these behaviors ranges from the fairly benign to the most severe. For example, when people cheat their neighbors by buying inexpensively priced items at a garage sale they know to be valuable, they may end of celebrating their savvy purchase on "Antiques Road Show." When they cheat on their income taxes or their spouses, though, the outcomes can be expected to be negative and may even involve criminal prosecution. While definitions of cheating vary, it would seem reasonable to posit that most people possess a "little voice" that tells them when they are cheating. Because people are just people and subject to all of the frailties of the human condition, though, this "little voice" can be easily overcome through any number of rationalizations that justify such behaviors."

Is Legislating Morality Immoral?, 2008.
An argument that the legislative attempts to moralize victimless behavior have created a crisis of over-criminalization in America.
1,558 words (approx. 6.2 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 51.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper addresses the phenomenon of over-criminalization in America today. The paper discusses how there is a proliferation of laws that punish people for behavior that, while considered immoral by some portion of the population, has no real victims and creates no lasting harms. The paper contends that although determining criminal behavior is a moral process, a freedom-based society has to balance society's moral views with the concepts of personal liberty and justice.
From the Paper
"To understand how overcriminalization happens, one must first understand criminalization. Lawmakers respond to societal pressures by creating laws to address new social issues. This is not an inherently negative process. For example, before the advent of the internet, many behaviors that are currently considered criminal were not considered crimes and placed people in danger of victimization. This has happened in the area of violent crimes as well. As recently as a century ago, child molestation was not generally acknowledged, and such behavior was certainly not criminalized. As society became aware that child molestation was a problem, the behavior began to be criminalized. Furthermore, as society became aware of how serious and dramatic the impact of molestation is on a child's life, legislators responded by increasing the penalties for those crimes. In circumstances such as those described above, criminalization is a positive phenomenon because it penalizes behavior that has the potential for creating serious harm and is, by its nature, victimizing."

Academic Dishonesty, 2008.
A compreshensive account of cheating with examples of dishonesty throughout American society today.

»

Abstract
This paper states that academic dishonesty is not a new phenomenon, and suggests that the practice dates back thousands of years. The paper then points out that studies have shown that academic dishonesty is on the rise in academic institutions across the United States. To determine what might explain this increase, this paper provides a review of the relevant peer-reviewed and scholarly literature to identify the potential causes, followed by a discussion of a suggested remedy. A summary of the research and important findings are provided in the conclusion.
Outline:
Introduction
Review and Discussion
conclusion
From the Paper
"Perhaps as no other time in history, cheating is easier than ever and examples of dishonesty extend throughout American society today. Scarcely a day goes by without headlines trumpeting yet another professional athlete gone bad, a major company caught in a scandal, or a university professor caught with his academic pants down as past instances of plagiarism are brought to light. According to Rakovski and Levy (2007), recent shenanigans at companies such as Enron, WorldCom and Adelphia have focused attention on the ethical behavior of business leaders and what part higher education should play in training future leaders. These authors caution, "If students exhibit unethical and dishonest behavior in college, they may carry those attitudes and behaviors into the workplace" (p. 466). Whitley and Keith-Spiegel (2002) attribute the prevalence of academic dishonesty among college students today to their "having been raised in an era of decline in public morality, [but] cheating and other forms of academic dishonesty are not new problems. These behaviors have existed as long as there have been tests and will probably continue as long as students are evaluated" (p. 3). The role of the nation's colleges and universities in preventing this type of behavior is a common theme that emerges from the literature. In this regard, Huffman (2006) reports that, "Schools can't control the messages of the pop culture, but they do have a large measure of influence and some control over the culture of the school."

Academic Dishonesty, 2008.
This paper examines cheating and plagiarism in academic institutions today.
3,272 words (approx. 13.1 pages), 5 sources, APA, $ 93.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper discusses the degree in which academic dishonesty has become relevant in the educational system and its various means of manifestation. The paper explores the distinction between cheating and plagiarism and contends that plagiarism should be treated with greater awareness and criticism. The paper explains that because it is a matter of personal choice whether to engage in such practices, a personal point of view is also included in the discussion over academic dishonesty.
From the Paper
"There are various forms of academic dishonesty which tend to hinder the creation of a valuable, original academic work. Nonetheless, while some forms of cheating take place with the full awareness of the author, there are cases in which such acts are done without the knowledge of the person engaged in such an act. Still, in order to prevent these situations, it is important to take into account the principles of academic integrity and to respect them in order to allow respect for the works of academics and fellow study partners. This is why an essential issue is the actual consideration of what academic honesty and dishonesty means, and, in the end to respect such principles and to build an education practice based on these norms of conduct in the academic environment."

Ethics in Business, 2008.
An examination of the different ethical demands in organizations.
1,744 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 56.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines the importance of ethics within the business world. The paper explains that one of the main demands of ethics is that key financial information about current or future projects, business plans, personnel information, consumer lists, and other information that organization and its members are entrusted with, would be kept confidential and would not be used against the company or to give benefits to other competitors. The paper points out that matters involving the finances of the company are the sensitive issues, and when it involves finances, ethics should become a higher priority, and with this comes some important roles for management. The paper then looks at how this change goes beyond merely following the letter of new laws and regulations and code of ethics. The paper concludes that ethics training and code of ethics help in dealing with all the issues in an organization along with these steps. If implemented then all issues whether related to finance or any other issues can be tackled.
Outline:
Ethical Issue
Ethical Decision-Making Steps:
(1) Issue Clarification
(2) Stakeholder Analysis
(3) Values Identification
(4) Issue Resolution
(5) Addressing Objections
(6) Resolution Implementation
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Financial issues that relate to ethics may hinder the organizational short term as well as long term objectives. There could be many issues with respect to the financials of the company that may stir the ethical concerns. Therefore each and every issue with respect to financials and their confidentiality requires complete clarity. Management must declare in clear terms and in precise words the problem areas with respect to finances and the precautionary measures that all employees should take. All the key areas where problems could occur should be highlighted. Once key problem areas are highlighted, they require further elucidation so that all the matters are resolved and all loopholes are covered. Once management is clear about the issues then clarity easily flows down the organization ladder and if management itself is not declaring the issues in clear terms then confusion prevails at all levels to the disadvantage of the organization and its members."

Moral Issues, 2008.
A look at everyday moral issues and how this relates to organizational ethics.
2,690 words (approx. 10.8 pages), 8 sources, MLA, $ 80.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper relates that people face moral issues everyday and that ethics are a key concern in one's life whether it is business or personal. The paper then describes the ways that leaders play an immensely significant role in creating and maintaining organizational ethics. The paper also examines the ethical behavior of companies, such as Enron Microsoft and Wal-mart, and of the airline industry.
From the Paper
"Poor ethical practices were also found in the airline industry. The Airlines industry in the US suffered major losses when economic slowdown struck in the wake of September 11 attacks. Since then while some firms have managed to come out of the crisis, many went into oblivion and sought alliance with other airlines to strengthen their dwindling stocks. Ethical behavior becomes a major concern in such massive crisis. It is believed that most airlines would have been able to make suitable recovery had it not been for all those restrictions that government and Federal Aviation authority have burdened airlines with in order to beef up security for the protection of people and homeland."

Abstract
The paper attempts to determine the factors affecting the implementation of strategies to serve the Kava population and also create profitable new businesses. The paper evaluates the resources and actions required for the new businesses to succeed and support the decision implementations overall. The paper examines the ethical implications from stakeholders for each solution.
From the Paper
"Kava's economy is a paradox in that certain industries are well advanced; including agriculture, petroleum, natural gas, and tourism, others including banking, education, and healthcare are not. With over 50% of the islands' population being under 15, Kava's long-term productivity as an island nation depends in large part on getting its own population educated so they can run these industries now and in the future. The factors affecting decision implementation first center on the existing industry composition of the island, with exporting agriculture products, petroleum, and natural gas a means for the island and its people to earn a living in addition to attracting visitors through tourism."
