Recommended: Ethical dilemmas

An ethically challenging situation in which I spoke up occurred five years. During a weekend trip to Las Vegas, due to age restraints, the young adults were permitted to walking on the “Strip,” the daughter of family friend, Lucie, was experiencing financial issues. Ironically, while walking the illuminating and spectacular strip, I notice a black wallet lying on the glistening sidewalk. I quickly bring it to the groups attention and demand we hand the wallet to a near by Walgreens. Lucie completely disregards my plea and takes one hundred and sixty five dollars.

    In 2005, the Vermont Teddy Bear Company produced a controversial bear for the Valentine holiday. The bear that was made was called “Crazy for You” and wore a straitjacket.

After the problem became apparent to the organization, it responded by saying that it would continue selling the toy until the inventory was empty. It was put out for the public in January and was sold out by February 3. The ethical issue in this case is whether or not Vermont Teddy Bear Company handled the situation ethically correct.

    We all have to do it. It might be for coffee, for a ride at the amusement park, or for the Deadpool movie (longest line ever). Standing in line is, quite frankly, one of the most boring activities that one could have the misfortune of having to partake in. It takes too long, and sometimes the promised reward ends up a disappointment, or worse, unavailable. But what keeps people sane when they are forced to queue (sometimes for hours on end) is the knowledge that everyone else must wait too. Unless, of course, there was a way to circumvent that process. It’s almost universally agreed upon that cutting in line is unethical, but what about paying someone to stand in for you, or even paying to skip the queue?

  • Claymore Residential Home Case Study

    1096 Words  | 3 Pages

    Throughout one’s working life, its highly probable that ethical dilemmas will arise in professional practice in one form or another. Ethical dilemmas bare their heads in many different fashions, including: “…competing ethical principles; empathic failures due to cultural misunderstanding; language gaps; inadequate cultural training to serve a certain population, and so on” (Zoltan, 2016). In the personal experience of this reporter, Claymore Residential Home, a corporately run rehabilitative community for adults with intellectual and cognitive impairment, presents the gravest example of ethical dilemmas. It was a workplace lead by autocrats cloaked in professional titles and facades of altruism. Ethical dilemmas emanated from the top of the hierarchy and trickled throughout the organization.

  • Ethics in Law Enforcement

    621 Words  | 2 Pages

    Police ethics are extremely important because ethics are the typical of “fair and honest conduct” (pg 460). People may have a different definition of what is fair and what is honest, and there are different circumstances where officers may not be able to be honest; such as covert investigations. Society in general determines what our ethical standards and moral principles are. Individual morals vary among all of us as they are what we as an individual consider to be right or wrong. We also have morals that are set by society. These are what we as a society consider to be right or wrong and may go hand in hand with individual morals. Morals change as society and people change, therefore we as a country have to adapt to what the changing morals are.

  • Right Vs Right Moral Dilemma Case Study

    This case, though dramatic, is a good example of a right versus right moral dilemma. A right versus right moral dilemma is one in which a person has to make “tough choices between competing virtues such as honesty, fairness, respect, objectivity, and responsibility” (Christensen & Boneck, 2010, p54). Certainly, Frank Armani struggled with several of these virtues (i.e. respect, responsibility) in deciding on whether to take Garrow’s case, how to defend Garrow and whether or not Armani should share

  • Lack of Ethical Behavior in the Cases of Bernie Madoff and Enron

    669 Words  | 2 Pages

    Ethical behavior is behavior that a person considers to be appropriate. A person’s moral principals are shaped from birth, and developed overtime throughout the person’s life. There are many factors that can influence what a person believes whats is right, or what is wrong. Some factors are a person’s family, religious beliefs, culture, and experiences. In business it is of great importance for an employee to understand how to act ethically to prevent a company from being sued, and receiving criticism from the public while bringing in profits for the company. (Mallor, Barnes, Bowers, & Langvardt, 2010) Business ethics is when ethical behavior is applied in an business environment, or by a business. There are many situations that can arise in which a person is experiencing an ethical dilemma. They have to choose between standing by their own personal ethical standards or to comply with their companies ethical standards. In some instances some have to choose whether to serve their own personal interests, or the interest of the company. In this essay I will be examining the financial events surrounding Bernie Madoff, and the events surrounding Enron.

    Ethics play a huge role in a police officers line of work. Since police are given such a high degree of trust and authority, it can unfortunately be very easy for an officer to fall into some unethical behavior. This can range from just minor acts that are frowned upon, to actual downright illegal activity. Even though there are a countless number of acts and behaviors that can be considered unethical, in the following paper I will focus primarily on those incidents involving police officers who steal for their own personal gain, and discuss my position on the issue.
