Is it Ethical to Allow Some Students to Have More Access to Help and Time Than Other Students ? Ethics plays a part of everyday life; especially when it involves early childhood education. Teachers have to determine what they must do when it affects their students and their grades. Students throughout different classes have a hard time keeping up with school work and have a hard time understanding the taught concepts. Is it ethical to allow these students to have access to more help and more time than the rest of the students? The answer, like many ethical dilemmas, it depends. Teachers often make accommodations for students, for example giving extra time on a project because of a crisis. However, when does the teacher determine which …show more content…
If the teacher decides to help underachieving students more than she helps the other students, other problems may occur; it may even come to the point that the principal has to get involved along with other school board members. However, the same issue could happen if the teacher decides that she should not be burdened to give underachieving students the extra help they need. Teachers give tests to determine the knowledge the students have and where they are academically, however what if these students are not doing well because of other factors, not that they are underachieving students? A teacher must consider what the child is going through in order to make a wise decision about how much time and help they should get to catch up. This may bring up many questions like; is the reason worth giving the extra time and help to the student, what is the student having a hard time in, what type of student are they considered, has this happened previously. Questions like these have to be brought up in order to determine a good and fitting …show more content…
According to research being an underachieving student is not permanent. Underachievement, or a behavior, may be repaired only if the correct force of treatment is used. Like many other behaviors, if one gets into the habit of doing certain actions in particular ways it becomes hard to change, but that can be managed and improved with the correct help. According to Ford, “typically schools use teacher expectations, intelligence tests, achievement tests, aptitude test, and/or GPA” (The Underachieving Student) to determine where a student stands academically and into which category they fall into, but how accurate can those results be if “minority students do not do well on standardized tests” (The Underachieving Student). If that is the situation at hand then the tests given do not supply sufficient information because the minority students do not have a fair chance to prove their intelligence. Given this information by Ford it puts the whole education system into question. Therefore we must analyze the teacher’s code of ethics to determine if they are being unjust to these
Patients who deny suggested consideration represent a critical test in the emergency department. Such patients can be uncooperative, and their capacity to comprehend data may be impeded by medicinal pathology or intoxicants. The outcomes of a choice to reject emergency consideration may be not kidding and lasting. The numerous contending requests of an occupied Emergency treatment now and then make it troublesome for doctors to appropriately survey such patients before they are permitted to leave.
Abortion has been a political, social, and personal topic for many years now. The woman’s right to choose has become a law that is still debated, argued and fought over, even though it has been passed. This paper will examine a specific example where abortion is encouraged, identify the Christian world views beliefs and resolution as well as the consequences of such, and compare them with another option.
It is true that this patient lost her life due to religious reasons. Doing what is ethically right is the right thing to do in this type a challenge. I know it is frustrating for the healthcare team present at that time for not saving the life of this individual. But patient has the right to for his medical condition. (Right to refuse or accept care).
Life begins with conception for both humans and animals. Not all women are able to conceive or carry a child to full terms. There are some women who want to be pregnant and cannot for some reason or another and then there are some that do not want to get pregnant, but end up pregnant. I have been asked or heard other people asked the question, so what do you want to have, a girl or a boy? The majority of the answer I receive or have said myself is, “It does not matter as long as the baby is healthy.” That answer is fine and all, but what if you find out that your baby will have Down syndrome? Will you abort the baby? Abortion in the United States today is a sensitive subject for a lot of people. Each year in the U.S. 1.1 million abortions take place. Nearly 1 in 4 (22%) of pregnancies end in abortion. 50% of women now seeking abortion have at least one previous abortion.

Ethical issues are “moral challenges” facing the health care profession (Stanhope & Lancaster, 2012, p. 127). Ethical issues is a major concern in the healthcare field because healthcare providers observe ethical issues every day and have to make ethical decisions. Advance directives are written documents that addressed an individual’s medical care preferences. These documents usually take effect when patients no longer can make informed health care decisions for themselves. While these documents are helpful to loved ones and health care providers, there are a number of ethical considerations that can make the development and execution of advance directives difficult (Llama, 2014). This author is a geriatric nurse that recently observed an advance directive ethical issue in the clinical setting. The purpose of this paper is to outline the steps of ethical decision-making within the seven steps for the framework. This paper will also identify the facts of the case from the perspective of each person impacted by the situation and identify which ethical principles were involved in the situation.
There are always many ethical issues on hands for any business organization. The list id so long and complicated that one can never solve it in a way that everyone can be happy. Because of that, most of the ethical issues in the business world are solved in a manners that both affected parties can have win-win situation. In this paper, we will be discussing a case in which we will focus on how conducting a personal business at work while using corporate asses for personal use affects the moral behavior in any organization.
An ethical dilemma is a complicated situation that involves an evident conflict between moral rules, in which to obey one would result in disobeying another. Sometimes called ethical paradoxes in moral philosophy, ethical dilemmas are often invoked in an attempt to contradict an ethical system or moral code, or to improve it so as to resolve the paradox.
In this assignment we will be identifying an ethical dilemma an individual has experienced. We will begin with a short introduction of what an ethical dilemma is, moving on to providing brief details of the dilemma an individual has experienced. We will then go on to selecting one ethical theory, to show how it can help an individual understand and deal with the situation when placed within, followed by a conclusion.
Everyone in this world has experienced an ethical dilemma in different situations and this may arise between one or more individuals. Ethical dilemma is a situation where people have to make complex decisions and are influenced based on personal interest, social environment or norms, and religious beliefs (“Strategic Leadership”, n.d.). The leaders and managers in the company should set guidelines to ensure employees are aware and have a better chance to solve and make ethical decisions. Employees are also responsible in understanding their ethical obligations in order to maintain a positive work environment. The purpose of this case study is to identify the dilemma and analyze different decisions to find ways on how a person should act
‘American Psycho’ under its mask of murder and gore, It has another meaning. It can also be viewed as an examination of superficial, self-obsessed, and materialistic bankers in wall street in the 1980s. These men were referred to ‘yuppies’ and Patrick Bateman was one of them. In the movie, we can see how the director's used dialogue and imagery to convey some of the themes. To converse about the politics of the time – the everlasting war on drugs, street violence, pro-capitalism, Reaganomics etc.
Statistically many minority students score lower on standardized tests than white students. One of the sad facts about this is that a teacher might pigeon hole a student of color automatically because of the statistics. Gollnick and Chinn (2012) explain how these scores do not accurately determine intelligence by writing, “Standardized test scores can help in determining how assimilated into the dominant culture and how affluent one’s family may be, but they provide less evidence of how intelligent a person is” (p. 68). Standardized tests are geared toward the dominate culture and to base our students intelligence on these tests is foolish. Every student no matter what their ethnicity or race has the right to be taught by their teachers without their teachers preconceived notions of how intelligent they think a particular race or ethnicity
Students are put in their least restrictive environment which look different depending on their need but students are also mandated to receive everything that is listed in their IEP’s and it is against the law to not follow these plans. Exceptionalities within the schools should in general look the same across the United States because of the federal laws passed and each school should abide by these laws but unfortunately sometimes because of resources and funds in rural communities the level of education and support for these students is not where it should be. Current practices for these students should empower the students and help them become better members of society. I think that teachers as well as administrators strive to give these students the best that they can but sometimes it does not work as it should. Some teachers feel very defeated and burned out if they do not have support from administrators and parents because some of these students are not easy to teach and they need as much support as possible. I know personally that sometimes it is hard if there is not enough support in the classrooms to support every child they best way possible. Because of funding though it is not always possible to have three teachers in every classroom let alone two. It is not fair that certain schools might not have as good of resources as another school therefore their students do not the best education
1. What are the most difficult ethical dilemmas you face? I work as a Child Protective Service Supervisor so I have faced many difficult ethical dilemmas. The one that keeps me up at night is the removal of teenagers from their homes. When children become teenagers, they have built peer relationships that are nearly as important has their biological ties to their families.
Everyday we are tested as individuals to make the right choice. How we view ourselves as individuals and how others view us are directly correlated to our moral decision-making. But morals are somewhat misleading. What might be a wrong decision for one person might be a solution to another. So how do we define morals? Do we follow Gods’ moral rules because to do so would increase out likelihood of obtaining salvation in the afterlife? Or is it simpler than that. Is God going to deny our entrance into heaven because we have run a stop sign here and there? No. I believe our moral values are much simpler than that. I believe that our moral decision-making comes from our upbringing of what is right or wrong. Our parents and the people we surround ourselves with, are, I believe, direct causes of how we make decisions. Having more positive family influences as we grow up to adults will better help us come to make the right decisions in tough situations. In this paper, I will take you through a situation where my morals were tested. It takes place in the northern woods of Vermont in a little town called St. Albans where a young boy transforms into a young man by controlling his emotions and making the right decision.
