COM 600 Ethics Notes - LECTURE
I envision what is ethically right while interacting with others in society when I hear the word
ethics. What comes to mind when dealing with groups of concern is what is decent and fair. You
want to be treated equally while completing paperwork, speaking with coworkers, or interacting
with the system as a whole. I lost my last employment because I didn't get my TB test results
back in a timely way. Everyone was required to perform the test, but those who could not or did
not choose to receive a shot were not taken into account. Some of us genuinely needed to get a
chest x-ray which, of course, would have been quicker than the rest of us, was completed. We
were fired if we didn't take the test in a timely manner. I believed that this was unethical, but I
did not pursue it further. I just started a new job. If that had happened again, I would have
handled it entirely differently since I would not now be unemployed.
When faced with ethical issues, it might be difficult to maintain our values or our viewpoint of
what is right and wrong. I recently encountered a circumstance where I was aware that unethical
activity was taking place. I've known a client for a while, and she has confidence in me as a
friend and caretaker. I was aware that she was being taken advantage of by an adult child and felt
obligated to speak out. I made a mistake by waiting many days before reporting the activities. I
did not want to violate her confidence. I ultimately told my manager about the matter while
maintaining my anonymity. The customer was confronted about what had happened and warned
of the repercussions. Even though she was angry She felt glad that the action would end with the
"anonymous source" . If I could go back in time, I wouldn't have waited so long to report the
behavior.
At work, I face the same ethical dilemma every year. I deliver mail in remote areas. Our routes
are assessed annually, and the results of this assessment determine our salary for the year. When I
say that we are assessed, I mean that they track each piece of mail we get, each step we take,
each box we deliver to, and each mile we travel over the course of two to three weeks. All of this
information, along with more, is entered into a formula, and the result determines our
compensation for the year. Because you might lose hundreds of dollars from your paycheck, it is
an extremely stressful period. The supervisors, who count the mail for the evaluation, are under
pressure from the post office to reduce our salary. In the previous 10 As the Internet has reduced
the amount of mail being delivered, most carriers have had to reduce their compensation. There
are methods to rig this evaluation because we spend more than half of our time traveling alone. It
is more difficult for us (mail carriers) to refrain from cheating in order to keep things fair since
we believe the post office commits fraud.
It has been established in the past that certain supervisors intentionally defrauded some carriers.
If they don't ask for something, don't give it to them, a post was heard telling one of his
superiors. Due to the complexity of the regulations, it is simple to miss anything. Instead of
attempting to cut us off at any costs, the supervisors should be focusing on making sure it is fair
and appropriate. This is therefore one manner in which the process supports unethical action.
Another reason is that it is incredibly alluring to cheat when your income is on the line and there
is a very slim probability that you would be discovered. Lastly, occasionally you witness a
coworker being deceived. It is unethical to remain silent. When I notice someone being taken
advantage of in the past, I have tried to aid them by speaking out. The postmaster was furious
because of this. I've been instructed to keep to myself, to remain at my desk, and to arrange a
time to speak with someone about the evaluation on my own. I also believe that I have been
defrauded even more as payback. The week of the evaluation is ahead, and I can already feel my
nervousness rising.
I had made the decision to keep my mouth shut this year after receiving criticism from bosses in
the past for speaking out. Following all these ethics-related debates, I've been reminded that I am
in the right and shouldn't allow my bosses to stop me from acting morally. Nonetheless, if I can,
I'll make an effort to be more cautious.
Values, morality, and respect are the first things that spring to mind for me. I respect my
client/patient, their viewpoint, and their privacy. I cherish the information that has been provided
to me. I will make moral judgments depending on the circumstances. When I used to work at the
hospital in Fairfax, Virginia, I frequently encountered circumstances that required me to make
moral judgments about the patient. This first was a struggle since I naturally wanted to talk from
a personal perspective, but I forced myself to remember this by mentally establishing limits and
outlining the processes. Determine the circumstances, the patient's condition, their level of
consciousness, their final objective, and their strategy for getting here. I would react
professionally and walk the patient through the ethical justification once these issues had been
addressed, and only then. In order to make a clear ethical choice about treatment during, after,
and after, I would then directly collaborate with patients and their families. When we see sick
people, our nurturing kicks in and humanity enters, but I had to leave it outside of the
hospital—not entirely, but most of the time—in order to make a solid ethical judgment on patient
care.
What comes to mind when you hear the term ethics? When did you come across a circumstance
that tested your moral standards? What affected how you responded to the circumstance? If the
circumstance arose once more today, how would you react? Honesty and integrity spring to me
when I hear the word ethics. I consider doing morally, even when it isn't always popular. I firmly
think that in both your personal and professional environments, you should adhere to your
principles and convictions. My closest friend put me in a moral bind at work. I was a Credentials
Reviewer for the Admissions Office at a small college, and I was quite serious about my
profession. In order to become a teacher, my closest buddy wanted to apply, and wanted a
referral letter. She requested that I write the letter for her while pretending to be an academic
counselor.
She was never a student at my college, despite the fact that I had mentored several students and
that was not my duty. I felt really uneasy about this. I didn't think it was morally right to pretend
to be her counselor in a letter. She was really being dishonest when she asked me to do
something. I told her that it was not only against the rules of my work, but also against my moral
principles. I assured her that the letter would solely include the facts. I offered to her that I write
the letter as a personal reference or as a former coworker because I had previously worked with
her at another firm. She concurred. If I encountered this circumstance once more, I would act
similarly.
Your research's ability to receive funding is greatly influenced by the abstract you submit to the
IRB. dispozitie desfasotoatatoatatoata dispozitie oferapoțiTotusi mănânc mănânctrouvez desfaso

DeineDeineDeine (Beins, 2012). For the approval of research, it is written in detail. The abstract
gives a summary of your goals. The goal of the proposal, the significance of the study, its
objectives, methods, advantages, and a thorough description of the effects the research will have
on participants should all be included in the abstract. It is the most crucial component of the
proposal since certain organizations will only support proposals that include an explanation.
Everyone is aware of the importance of ethics in every business, academic discipline, and even
character decision. Others may not take ethics as seriously as other people do. The ethical
considerations of research are equally crucial. For this reason, rules established by the federal
government guarantee that particular types of research are conducted in the most ethical manner
feasible. By requiring proposals to be prepared, examined, and authorized before the study can
be conducted, the Institutional Review Board (IRB) is in charge of ensuring that initiatives
employing humans as subjects are handled ethically. They mandate that strategies and
procedures be in place for researchers to eliminate or at the very least significantly reduce
hazards (Beins & Beins, 2012). The IACUC, also known as the Institutional Animal Care and
Use Committee, is tasked with assessing such applications and approving them for research
studies employing animals as subjects.
They make an effort to guarantee that the animals are handled morally and compassionately prior
to, throughout, and after the investigation (Beins & Beins, 2012). It surprises me how frequently
experiments go wrong or animals are treated cruelly, despite the fact that these two organizations
work hard to ensure that research is conducted in accordance with crucial norms of ethics.
Respect from other individuals, researchers, and colleagues can only be gained by ethical
behavior. Personally, I believe that someone with a high ethical conscience should be trusted
and/or believed in.
Veins and Veins claim that some previous research was harmful because they "fed patients
radioactive oatmeal, withheld treatment for deadly diseases, imprisoned them, or intentionally
made them stutterers' ' (2012). These kinds of instances made it necessary for lawmakers to enact
legislation protecting both people and animals. Joseph Mengele was one of the most notorious
experimenters during World War Two. Whilst you'd think that researchers would know better
than to damage their subjects, there are always those who would defend injuring others by
arguing that the advantages outweigh the drawbacks (in their mind). Hopefully, the IRB and the
IACUC stop this dangerous research from taking place.
What comes to mind when you hear the term ethics? When did you come across a circumstance
that tested your moral standards? What affected how you responded to the circumstance? If it
happened again today, how would you react differently? As morals and ethics appear to go hand
in hand, I instantly think of morals when I hear the word ethics. When it comes to one's own life,
ethics and morals frequently develop as a result of early events and are generally somewhat
adjusted as we grow older and have our own unique life experiences. The way my employees
and I were handled by our boss was one instance I ran across that tested my ethical values.
It didn't take me long after beginning a new work for me to recognize the poisonous atmosphere
I had just joined. It also didn't take me long to determine why the environment was so toxic. I
waited just over a year to see if anything changed before deciding to gather my coworkers and
ask them if they would be open to discussing the issue to see if we could come up with a
solution. Sadly, they both had the same response since they were too terrified of reprisals to say
anything. They continued by saying they would want to maintain a low profile and carry on with
their daily activities as usual.
I now had to make a decision on how to proceed. Should I bring up the issue with our supervisor,
bring up the issue with our department chief, or should I just sit idly by as my coworkers and I
suffer in a poisonous workplace?
