At the commencement of the twenty-first century, societies witnessed a rapid increase in the levels at which the world’s reliance on information technology and computer systems grow. Concurrently, while nations continue to rely on the networks and technological advancements with which the global environment maintains the world economy, there is still concern that the same advantages have an equal capacity to cause harm. To that end, there are limitations to the current perceptions on the grounds on which terrorism and the virtual environment relate: the fact that people fail to recognize terror activities amid the many different forms ...

Crop pest is the main challenge facing farmers who plant crops such as coffee. The main challenge now is to know how one can manage the pests in his or her farm. A pest insect is one that brings harm to animals, crops or any other property (Dent, 2000). In agriculture, a pest is classified as so if it causes damages to both the crops and the animals. Parasites can cause harm to crops and animals in many ways. For this reason, farmers have come up with different ways in which they can manage the level of the crop ...

Business goals are primarily geared towards attaining financial gains. Other factors weigh heavily in ensuring the success of a business undertaking such as the organizational capability, management competency and market improvement strategies. Beyond these success factors, however, one aspect of running a business that is crucial in determining the performance of the business in the long term is business ethics or the application of moral theories in making business decisions. Business ethics refer to the adoption of proper business policies and practices concerning potentially controversial issues, such as corporate governance, insider trading, bribery, discrimination, corporate social responsibility and fiduciary ...

Each and every person has a set of values that best define who he or she is and for me, I hold in high esteem the values of honesty, self-control and humility. Honesty to me is the ability to say nothing but the truth at whatever times. Speaking the truth has helped me win confidence from other people since they end up building trust in me. Self-control on the other hand is one of my most treasured personal attributes. Self-control breeds self-esteem and personal confidence. With self-control, I am able to keep my concentration even in most demanding situations ...

Introduction

Mental events as asserted in behaviorism are considered to be unscientific and embrace the use of practical experiment in the collection of data other than the use of mental processes. Behaviorism, as argued by the different scholars of psychology, is an approach that is employed in the study of both animal and human behavior and holds that the conduct can be measured. However, it is paramount to appreciate the fact that the behaviorist denies the use of human mind and hold that behavior is an essential tool that can be utilized in the psychological studies. However, it is important ...

Cyberbullying

The universal utilization of the Internet, smartphones, and laptops have engendered new kind of bully on the school playground: cyberbullying. What makes cyberbullying an especially dangerous form of bullying is that it often takes place off campus. While schools unquestionably have the authority to punish bullies who threaten or harm children on school grounds, their authority to punish bullying that takes place on the Internet and oftentimes at home is a more difficult issue. As of yet, there is no comprehensive federal law addressing cyberbullying. In turn, the states have largely taken it upon themselves to define and punish ...

I. While person gets to know something regarding crime or related issues, the offender, the victim are the two parties that necessarily come to mind. The victim, generally, refers to the party that was harmed as a result of the offender’s violation of a criminal law. The key underlying element in this definition is that a person, the offender, is motivated for financial or personal gain to violate a law, rule, regulation or custom. This violation then leads to the injury of another person, the victim. In this sense, the victim is often seen as an unfortunate consequence ...

U.S has one of the largest and costliest health care system in the world. Healthcare is the second largest industry in the country. In spite of this achievement, the health status of the people in U.S, does not match the cost and infrastructure put into it (HealthCare.gov, 2016). Both communicable and non-communicable diseases still continue to harm a large sector of the population, when compared to other developed countries. Unlike other developed countries, people in U.S were expected to obtain individual health coverages and pay individually for health services. The right to health was not treated as a basic ...

Introduction

Patient safety is undoubtedly linked to health care quality; patient safety may even be considered as the cornerstone of health care quality. That statement alone, makes the ethical and legal concepts that are required of health care organizations in the delivery of high quality health care highly important when talking about patient safety. Quality health care is an umbrella term that encompasses many aspects. Moreover, many also consider patient safety as indistinguishable from quality health care. Nevertheless, a quality health care has indicators such as safety, effectiveness, patient centeredness, time, efficiency and equity. The focus of this paper will ...

1 In my opinion, the owner should elaborate the strategy directed to the elimination of conflicts that arise due to the differences in salary amounts. First of all, the discussion about salaries should be prohibited in the restaurant and also in case the staff still argues about it often, Gino can regulate the issue with the tips. For example, all the tips can be divided between the servers in equal parts, or similar. 2 3 In my opinion, business and family should be treated as separate things, especially in case when the owner’s family ...

Kantian approach to ethics is unique in that it provides both a method to apply in creating moral rules and guidelines and a clear justification to evaluate the moral value of specific actions. The theory seeks to provide a clear approach to the formation of morality and the moral legitimacy of particular actions. As such, Kant argued that morality must be based on reason and that the behavior that is most ethical will be automatically the most rational one. The greatest strength of the Kantian approach is in its consistently. The theory’s morality is absolute and based on ...

Business Torts & Ethics

Standing alone, the intruder is liable for his or her actions. The intruder is liable for a number of crimes independent of the landowner’s liability. While the landowner may be held liable as well, the intruder is most definitely liable for his intentional torts committed against Darryl and Sharon. Simply because the intruder committed the torts on the landowner’s property does not excuse the intruder from personal liability. The intruder is potentially liable for a number of different torts. The intruder can be charged with burglary. While burglary is a tort, not a crime, the intruder has ...

Armenian Genocide as an Act of Eliminationism

Introduction The word genocide refers to the destruction of a nation or a particular ethnic group. The word is coined from Greek words ‘genos’ and ‘cide’. Genos means race or tribe while cide means killing. A genocide is not always the immediate destruction of a nation or tribe except when it is done by the mass killing of the members of a nation or tribe. Rather genocides signify a gradual coordinated plan composed of different actions aimed at destroying the essential foundations of a group with the aim of annihilating the group. The goals of such a plan would ...

Question 1 The results of the Commission on Inquiry Report are somewhat depressing and dismal which is not the objective of a hospital or health care institution. The complaints from the report were as follows: assaulted, neglected and left to die patients under grave conditions; uncaring healthcare providers; and lack of sufficient care for patients who need more than medication. These are clear indications of the hospitals’ lack of concern to the welfare of their patients and lax and sloppy hospital administration. However, there are times that the administrations of ...

Summary of Event

U.S. Airways Flight 1549 struck a at least two Canadian geese around 3:27 p.m. on January 15, 2009, after departing New York’s LaGuardia Airport headed to Charlotte, North Carolina. As a result, both engines on the plane lost thrust. The pilot notified air traffic controllers of the strike less than three minutes after takeoff, and an emergency was declared. As Captain Chesley Sullenberger communicated with air traffic control, he determined that he would be unable to turn the plane back to LaGuardia Airport and land safely. The captain made the decision to land the ...

In the recent past, there has been a growing trend whereby college students are seeking protection from words that they do not like in the name of safeguarding their emotional wellbeing. This is a dangerous trend and if left unchecked it may destroy education in America. Greg Lukianoff and Jonathan Haidt examine the implications of overprotecting students from unintentional microaggressions in their article: “The Coddling of the American Mind.” Lukianoff and Haidt argue that gagging instructors from using words deemed discriminatory virtually on any basis would prevent critical thinking and set a dangerous precedent for America’s education system ...

Among several social issues, whistleblowing is one of the major issues which individuals or employees linked to an organization have to face at some point in their lives. We must understand that all businesses do not run on ethical standards no matter how much they pretend to believe in ethics and fair dealing. Landau (2013) mentioned that there are certain practices or wrongdoings going on at different levels which employees ignore or consider less important whereas some employees do take notice of any unethical activity and can see how the consequences can create losses for the organization in the ...

Background of the Community Health Needs Assessment The healthcare system has been a topic of heated debates among a great number of specialists, governmental officials, and the random citizens. Increased costs for healthcare services, deterioration of their quality, and the increase of the U.S. population are only some of the issues targeted in such discussions. It was clear that the healthcare system required reform as soon as possible.

Vitamins and Minerals

(Author, Department, University,

Abstract Vitamins and minerals are among the most essential nutrients as they help in performing many important functions of the body. They are of different kinds as, for example, vitamins are either water-soluble, which cannot be stored in the body, or fat-soluble, which can be stored in the body. Similarly, minerals can include those, which are required in sufficiently larger amount such as calcium and iron, and those, which are required in tiny amounts such as trace minerals including copper and selenium. These essential nutrients are present in sufficient quantities in our foods including vegetables and ...

Introduction

Project management engineers face various ethical dilemmas in every single project they undertake. Ethics may be defined as that which is good and just not just for an individual but also for the society at large (Jonasson & Ingason, 2013). The reality of these ethical dilemmas exists in almost all the phases of a project. The specific phases that a project undergoes include: planning, design, construction and operation (Oberlender, 2000). The project design phase is one of the most important phases of any project; from it, the direction which a project should take is drawn. The design stage sets project ...

Pojman views Golding’s novel as an account of Hobbesian morality. The essence of the Hobbesian morality lies in the fact that “human beings always act out of perceived self-interest; that is, they invariably seek gratification and avoid harm.” (Pojman 4). The humans are basically equal and have the ability to harm each other regardless of physical strength. Such conditions trigger the fear and humanity falls into the “state of nature” (Pojman 5), where there are no laws or moral norms. Hobbes believes that the morality is basically the instrument of social control over the society. To avoid the ...

Energy. The existence of humanity highly depends on this vital resource. For the longest time, people have witnessed how its production shaped the society. As people continue to use energy at a faster rate, energy scarcity is said to be possible in the future. To secure the supply of energy, some experts believe that it is necessary to utilize unconventional sources of energy, such as the use of coal deposits which are unreachable by the regular mining methods. In the article written by Fred Pearce, he talks about the different issues surrounding this process. According to Pearce, “modern miners ...

Watchdog organizations

Health advocacy and consumer protection has evolved with the emergence of technologies. The availability of resourceful channels of communication and reaching the masses has facilitated the vibrancy with which consumer health watchdogs can now impact policymaking, educate and create sensitization across communities (W. A., & Johnson, 2013). The Center for Food Safety is one organization that has emerged as a watchdog and an advocate in the healthcare sector with a view to imparting knowledge to the populace to help them make appropriate health decisions (Center for Food Safety, 2016). For the Center for Food Safety, their major role has revolved ...

A social gadfly - that was the unofficial name of Socrates in Athenian circles. Socrates, indeed, was a gadfly to his peers: he stung with his revealing and unbiased speeches. Even as a young boy the philosopher became considered as the wisest of men. Pythia, the Oracle of Delphi, herself proclaimed Socrates the profoundest philosopher that had ever lived, only to hear his famous words "I know that I know nothing" though (Miles, 2003, p. 165) (Scott, 2002, Does Socrates Have a Method, p. 122). Not believing the oracle, Socrates began to ask other Athenian sages about their lore. ...

Abstract

The widespread use of the Internet, cell phones, and laptops has introduced a new type of bully on the school block: cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is a particularly difficult type of bullying for schools to punish and prevent. This is because most incidents of cyberbullying occur off school grounds. Currently, there is no federal law that specifically addressed cyberbullying. It has been largely left up to the states to define the parameters of cyberbullying and to set forth the corresponding penalties and punishments for such infractions. While some states extend criminal liability for cyberbullying off school grounds, other states limit liability ...

Life is filled with moments when one has to take a decision. Nevertheless, this is not always easy, as sometimes one finds one’s self in a compromising position. Often, this implies that either two or more options are good, or two or more of them are bad. In college, I have been faced with many such choices. One of the most important ones happened last semester, when one of my best friends decided that he would cheat on a paper we had to do, by ordering to have it made for him. I was thus faced with the ...

ATTENTION GETTER: Author Thomas Dekker once said that “sleep is that golden chain that ties health and our bodies together” (“Thomas Dekker”). True enough, good sleep is an important factor in the achievement of good health; thus, everybody longs for it. For those who struggle to get a good sleep, sleeping drugs or sleeping pills become their only source of hope. Sleeping drugs help to take away ordinariness of daily routine and allow obtaining sound sleep. An ideal sleeping pill should induce good quality and indistinguishable sleep experience. Unfortunately, modern drugs do not produce this result, and in fact, ...

The case for / against the Atlantic Cement Company implicates a set of ethical issues at stake as company's operations continue to inform attitudes of local residents and company owners. The Atlantic Cement Company has a business case for operating a decidedly polluting business (particularly given operation date in 1962). From a business perspective, the Atlantic Cement Company creates jobs for local residents, offers value for local and broader communities (by manufacturing a much on-demand product required for construction works and a host of building- and construction-related industries) and, not least, supports government's efforts to help expand on a ...

Fear is a relative term, at least from the human perspective. This suggests that humanity has experienced its own sets of fears, depending on the prevailing dangers of a particular physical environment and epoch. In this regard, it has always been common knowledge that survival is an integral part of every species, including the Homo sapiens, and that compromising the sense of safety of animals and humans is most likely to instigate a reaction of fear. As such, it can also be said that fear is a beneficial aspect of existence, given that it triggers reactions of alertness, fighting ...

We all know what is the lie. Unfortunately, most of us lie from time to time. Very often people start lying in order to find their own weaknesses from others, to help someone else out of jam, or justify the wrong acts. There are a lot of situations when we have done something bad. Consequently, we feel that it can harm other’s feelings and cause unpleasant situation. Unfortunately, not everyone is courageous enough to admit this mistake and to take the responsibility for an act or fault. As a rule, people choose the royal road - they lie ...

How can reporting near-misses prevent harm and improve outcomes?

Particularly near-miss refers to an unplanned event, which did not lead to sickness, injury or damage even though it had the potential to do so. Basically, the event was about to happen, but fortunately, a break in the chain of events prevented its occurrence, in other words, a near-miss is a miss that was nonetheless near (Crane et al., 2015). Majorly the cause of a near miss is a faulty process or management system.

Reporting near misses helps in the prevention of future harm related instances and improve outcomes in the following ways:

First and foremost, with a well-established reporting culture which eventually communicates that every opportunity that a hazard is identified and controlled contributes positively towards reducing ...

UniversityAccommodating Gender Identity

Gender identity and gender roles have been going through drastic changes over the last few years. Gender roles have been strictly challenged as women are continuing to do well in the work force, and yet there is still so much about gender identity that is misunderstood. Considering the rise of multiple gender identities, including nonbinary and genderqueer identities, it’s important to realize that the way people have been approaching gender roles and identity has been extremely hurtful. This is especially true considering that the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM) still labels the dislocating feeling of ...

In constant search for additional pleasure or expansion of consciousness, people were chewing random leaves and cooking magical brews that made them more powerful and invulnerable. From coffee to cocaine, today we are opened to a vast variety of temptations. Some are harmless, others – deadly. However, what unites them is that once tasted, they are hard or impossible to live without. In this paper, I would like to research impact of marijuana on people from different perspectives and understand whether it is a threat or a vital relief. At first, let’s understand what is marijuana, from medical and ...

Q1: Does Monsanto maintain an ethical culture that effectively responds to various stakeholders?

The definition of whether a company has an ethical culture is usually based on what they do, how they do it, and the structures put in place by the topmost leaders to ensure that all stakeholders are duly taken care of and excesses to them are cut. In the first instance, the activities of Monsanto are inherently problematic and carry a high risk. This is because most people and most groups around the world have an issue with the creation of genetically modified seeds and plants. Many religious people have views against interbreeding of animals and plants and since ...

The major ethical consideration in this case is the idea that Mrs. G had a chance at recovery and, instead, is opting to allow her illness to take her. In this case, it is important for the medical practitioner to understand the obligations that they have towards the patient in regards to her right to make the decision for herself. In this case, while the treatment has a chance to help her, it also has very low odds of doing so. Furthermore, the costs that the family will be left with seem to outweigh ...

It is ironical that migrant laborers, who comprise a whopping 85 percent of UAE workforce, face severe issues regarding discrimination, human rights violation, human trafficking, and racism. Newspaper and report headlines stating "conditions for Abu Dhabi's migrant workers shame the West", and UAE: A Move to Protect Migrant workers" duly expose the harsh conditions faced by migrants from surrounding nations. There is a great deal of literature on the conditions these helpless workers face on the foreign soil; however, there is a dearth of studies linking the impacts of these circumstances to the psychological health of migrant laborers.

Virtue describes morally “right” behavior, as defined by a given society. In our case, the most virtuous action would be for the boyfriend to tell his girlfriend that he has genital herpes, the primary goal of this action to prevent the girlfriend from experiencing unwanted physical harm (i.e. to allow the girlfriend to choose whether or not she wants to expose herself to genital herpes. Given this main goal, the next most virtuous action would be for the sister to warn the girlfriend of this herpes risk. This means that the most virtuous action changes depending on the context ...

The lack of a tort of privacy in the UK emphasizes the conceptual fragility of the right to privacy, as well as the importance and inadequacies of the equitable remedies of confidence, various torts associated with the intentional infliction of harm on other people, and administrative law principles governing the proper use of police powers (Bloy & Hadwin, 2007; Webb, Jones, & Walker, 2006). Article 8(1) of the European Convention of Human Rights provides for everyone’s right to respect for their private and family life, their home and correspondence. However, courts in the country reject the equation of Article ...

Debates concerning the use of marijuana as a medicinal treatment have been ongoing for decades, and have sparked more than a few concerns that have to do with its applications. Those who argue for the use of the drug are typically of the mind that marijuana does far more good than harm, citing research that leans more towards the benefits stemming from its use a pain reliever. On the other side, those who argue vehemently against the drug do so for the same reason, bringing up studies and, at times, propaganda that incites viewers to realize just what cost ...

The story of the USS Indianapolis was quite controversial during the World War II and after its end. Many things were covered-up, and they remain hidden nowadays. According to MacMillan Dictionary, cover-up is “an attempt to stop people from discovering the truth about something, especially a crime or a serious mistake.” Cover-up and lack of information was the reason why the captain of Indianapolis McVay was accused of the sinking and committed suicide (Stanton, 2001). War is one big mess, where information gets lost and misinterpreted all the time. It is extremely hard to keep things in order in ...
