Understanding the nature and connection between the mind and the body is less about finding one definite answer and more about the lasting implications that arise when probing into such a question. What does it mean to be a human being? Is humanness simply the body, or is it the desires and inclinations that make up our complex personalities? Are mind and soul one and the same? These questions arise in the Star Trek episode, “The Measure of a Man,” where Picard and Maddox view the same thing, Data, in two different ways. Maddox is initially guided by the ...

Issues Regarding the US Constitution’s Fifth Amendment

This law protects the person from incriminating himself to a crime, from possible improper methods to be used by law enforcement either through deceit, coercion or threats (Snitker). By encouraging silence in the face of the need for legal defense, this law wisely leads the accused to seek legal assistance.

Protection to the Criminal Defendant

Self-preservation is a natural right of any person and he may abuse this right by unknowingly withholding cooperation in judicial processes against crime. Excessive protection can be treated with reasonable approaches by law enforcement so that the Fifth will not overly and inappropriately protect defendants.

If a nurse refuses to give CPR, this is definitely an ethical and legal issue. First and foremost, by virtue of the nurse’s obligation in a health care institution, she “has a duty to perform CPR when an individual at the workplace is not breathing and/or has no pulse” . The statement is consistent with one of the provisions in the nurse’s code of ethics. As stipulated under provision 2, “the nurse’s primary commitment is to the patient, whether an individual, family, group, community, or population” . If the nurse refuses to give CPR, there should be a ...

The managers of public sectors are confronted by the dilemmas related to ethics because they effort to select options surrounded by the values set. Ethical problems might emerge from similarly alluring alternatives that may perhaps be defended as the right one in some circumstances (Ehrich, Cranston & Kimber, 2004). The starting of the twenty-first era has shown the profession of accountancy as the biggest challenge to continue. Such task highlighted the need for the profession to make stronger the self-assurance of public in its ethics plus efficiency (Onyebuchi, 2011). The scandals related to accounting that is found out frequently in ...

Introduction Conscience is one of the most commonly experienced psychological faculty of an individual, but is also one of the least understood. For many years, little attention have been given towards understanding conscience; particularly on how it is shaped and who influenced the modern understanding of this concept. Nevertheless, conscience is an important phenomenon that requires significant attention primarily because it impacts all human judgment. The manifestation of conscience delineates man from other animals species as conscience is proof of man’s self-consciousness; an attribute that is only observable among human species. As a learned psychological faculty, ...

Introduction

The unionization of the work force can be observed as early as the 1800s, during the time when the industrial revolution was spreading quickly across Europe and the United States. These labor unions, however, are not permanently established organizations. Rather, these are employees who temporarily group themselves when employment issues arise in order to gain leverage in bargaining with their employers (Murray, n.d., p. 2). Among the major issues that bring employees together according to scholars are improvement of working conditions, wages and job security; issues that are still relevant in the contemporary labor setting across all industries (Cengage ...

In line with the fight against the controversial mandate for the inclusion of birth control in insurance plans, the Wheaton College administrators halted the provision of health insurance for its students. In the same way, Hobby Lobby which is an art and craft organization dropped its health care coverage for its employees. Its owners argued that the mandate violates the company’s right to exercise the Religious Freedom Restoration Act (RFRA) as well as the First Amendment to the US Constitution (Blackman, 93). As a result, the court favored Hobby Lobby based on the precept that “a family-owned corporation ...

ABSTRACT

Ethical issues are something that is a reality in modern medicine. This is certainly true when it comes to religious, spiritual and philosophical belief systems. Sometimes these strongly held beliefs are on the part of patients, but there are times when beliefs are held by healthcare workers. There are ethical codes in place that protect a patient’s right to refuse treatments, like blood transfusions, if they ethically or morally feel that are not what they wish to do. There are also options available for healthcare workers who feel that they cannot ethically be involved in certain treatments or ...

Pediatric Ethical Dilemma

Ethics is considered as the study of rational reasoning, yet people may have a different perception of ethical behavior depending on a given circumstance. In McCarthy and Gastmans (2015) article entitled Moral Distress, ethics are defined as the structure of codes and standards that are commonly observed by a group of people. While these systems are not part of the legal structure, they nevertheless set the norm in determining right from wrong in a given situation. In the nursing practice, the ethical concept refers to the delivery of correct and individualized care which are helpful in achieving quality patient ...

ISSUES IN INTERNATIONAL BUSINESS: A CASE STUDY ON THE PEOPLE’S REPUBLIC OF CHINA

Introduction

In international business, the organizations also need to consider cultural and social values at individual levels in the present competitive business environment (Mandják et al., 2016; Weinzimmer & Esken, 2016).

On a wider note, the engineering field has received important recognition among other disciplines based on the fact that most actions carried by the practitioners are often challenging and therefore need bold decision-making. The moral reasoning is among the significant challenges in engineering as it involves the decisions to decide where to draw the line between permissible and impermissible actions. The case in this project includes the provision ...

Children have long been a target of consumerism and marketing. Their young, immature minds are taken as the ideal grounds for expanding businesses and victimizing them into becoming the future consumers and materialists of the country. However, it is true that marketing to children is a gigantic social problem which also encompasses ethical and moral standards of individuals as well as of the growing children. There are many factors which promote child consumerism and there are several repercussions of this action. Children are individuals who need to be kept away from these environmental pressures and be allowed to grow ...

Introduction

The criminal justice system in the United States is complex and has a trove of advantages for the defendant in comparison to several other nations. The rights include the right to an attorney and the right to remain silent during a police interrogation. Apart from these rights, the process to find someone guilty and sentence that person is a tedious process. Unlike justice systems which rely on circumstantial evidence, the American Justice system insists on the presence of physical evidence to corroborate. In addition, a lengthy process ensures checkpoints in different areas to prevent convicting innocent people of crimes ...

The introduction to Mathew Crawford’s book The World Beyond Your Head can hardly be categorized as optimistic. When exploring the nature of human attention and how it is being exploited now, he is sometimes sarcastic, sometimes very critical and cynical, but mostly pragmatic. Nevertheless, he is always right. And the not-so-bright perspective that awaits us in the nearest and distant future might be much worse than we expect it to be. The topics of social media, the Internet, global advertising, and constant distraction are very well known and close to each of us. Nowadays, the world seems to ...

Opioids are the most common modern analgesics because they help patients deal with pain after surgery or during the treatment of cancer and other diseases. In contrast, opioids also cause addiction and dependence. The main problem is that opioids rapidly cause dependence, which results in destruction of a human’s health. Opioids are psychoactive drugs that improve the human condition, but it causes destruction to a human health and stimulates addicts to take part in criminal activities. Opioids were used for medical purposes in ancient practice nearly 6000 years ago. At first, opioids were considered a godsend because it ...

The homosexual community in China faces discrimination and is treated with less respect as compared to the heterosexuals. The older people in China are rigid and refuse to change their negative perceptions towards the homosexuals. The older people perceive homosexuals as being sick and think homosexuals need to seek treatment. The homosexuals experience social stigma and pressure from their families, friends, colleagues, and the community as a whole (Preston 219). The homosexuals, thus, experience problems such as the fear to seek health services due to fear of stigmatization (Feng et al.). The marriage law bill, for the homosexuals, which ...

Abstract

Intoxication is being in a state of alcoholic or narcotic intoxication. The government is increasingly sensitive to the cases of operating a vehicle while intoxicated, explaining that the drunk driver is endangering both for their life, health and property, and other road users. However, as practice shows, the number of the detained drunk drivers increases dramatically around the holidays. If the circumstances of the crime are clear, and in a short time collected all the necessary evidence, the Prosecutor may apply to the court to hear the case under expedited proceedings. Basically, criminal cases associated with DUI are dealt ...

Workers in many occupations want a stronger voice in the workplace and there is increasing recognition that this is a fundamental human right. Do you believe that voice in the workplace is a fundamental human right? Why or why not?  Having a voice in the workplace is not only fundamental, it is part of the dividing line that separates slave labor from free labor. Payment is not the only form of suppression. By eliminating the voice of the employees, you eliminate the company’s ability to grow. A company is not run solely upon the information and opinions provided ...

Question 1:

The issue of giving data to the Chinese government is a tricky one because the Chinese business culture does not have the same respects for intellectual properties and securities as we are accustomed to in Western countries, (Overseas Business Risk – China, 2016). This is a major issue when debating this subject matter because the Chinese do not have the same protections to intellectual property, which means that there is a major issue if a user’s private data is exposed and it contains patented material or material that is soon to be protected, (Overseas Business Risk – China, 2016). What ...

Analysis of the Documentary Food, Inc. through the Lens of Ethical Theories and Ideas

Some may wonder whether the food choice is an ethical issue. After all, we make these choices at least three times a day and our individual decisions influence the global industry of food growth, production and processing. As Jones, Cardinal and Hayward remind us, we exist in society and are connected to other people. This is why our choices, in our case, the food choices, affect other people, and their decisions influence us as well (2006, p. 3). Various theories of ethics propose different ways of viewing the problems of food production and consumption and seek solutions in distinct ...

It is widely believed that nuclear energy continues to grow only because of the industrial lobby from companies and corporations that manufacture equipment for nuclear plants and organizations, as well as government officials, who are associated with the nuclear industry.

Contained within the satire essay ‘A Modest Proposal, Johnathan Swift not only entertains with a backhanded and witty criticism of the privileged and hypocritical wealthy, the ridiculous uselessness of the politicians in Ireland, and the dreadful conditions that the poor in Ireland must endure. Swift ridicules those who have the financial means to help, but refuse to help the situation in a positive way, as well as the horrid cruelty of the English that makes the whole thing absurdly incompetent on the part of those who refuse to help themselves. (Swift & Fabricant, 2011) When Swift wrote this piece, in ...

There are a number of lessons that one must learn as one goes through life. But the lesson of attempting to survive through the racial discrimination in the south is one lesson that is most valuable to those who lived in that era. Many blacks can now relate to the racial challenge that Jefferson face in Louisiana in 1948. Like many other blacks during the 1940’s, Jefferson faces death for a murder. Of course the laws during the period did not require much proof to convict a black man as much of the stories of the past reveal ...

Industries in West Virginia have violated the state-issued permit of pollution by releasing toxic substances such as coal ash and selenium into the local water supply. In addition to the threat toxic substances like coal ash and selenium pose to the health of the community, toxic water destroys the environment and destabilizes the local ecosystem of the areas impacted by such pollution. West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection (WVDEP) was formed as a guidance tool to aid persons to know when it is environmentally secure to withdraw water from the stream.

Investors Suffer from Insider Trading

Insider trading presents an adverse effect for the investors and the country at large. In this regard, it prevents the fair quantum of supply and demand for the stocks and contributes towards having an artificial increment in the stock prices, thus enticing innocent investors to buy the stocks at increased prices than that of their original value (Stefano, 2011). Consequently, soon after the purchasing of the stocks, it plunges in the market bringing about immense losses for the investors that in turn contributes to a significant dip in SENSEX value which finally weakens a country's entire economy ( ...

I. INTRODUCTION Each day, a person reveals his worldview simply in the way he speaks, decides, and acts. Philip Graham Ryken observed that “wherever we bump into the world, our worldview comes spilling out”. The conflict between creationists and evolutionists is such a bumping of worldviews. Can the universe be known? According to John Henry Newman, the universe must be knowable if religious truth is “a condition of general knowledge” instead of a portion thereof. Moreover, if a part of reality is phenomenal (called imminent reality), then that reality it can be known because the human mind contains the ...

Abstract

This paper puts the legal and ethical issues of physician-assisted suicide in the context of the larger debate on privacy and the right to die, which can be divided into three constituent parts: (1) a patient’s constitutionally protected right to privacy in all matters involving end-of-life treatment decisions. So long as a patient has the mental capacity to make informed consent, the government does not have a legitimate interest to override end-of-life decisions. Critical to the analysis of a patient’s refusal of life-sustaining treatment is the burden of the state to prove a patient did not have ...

Poems are often a reflection of the society they are written in. Many times, poets adopt the general rhetoric of the public, placing it in a poem that people can read and enjoy while at the same time allowing them to reflect on how said rhetoric affects them. Many of these topics spur from immigration, specifically the fear of immigration. An overwhelming fear of losing jobs to a surge of immigrants has long since plagued American citizens, as well as citizens of South Africa and other similar countries. In some of these countries, such as South Africa, immigrants have ...

A conscience clause is a legal clause in the United States that was implemented by George W. Bush that protects the right for pharmacists, physicians, and other health care providers from providing certain medical services due to the individual or group's religion or conscience (Nelson & Dark, 2003). A clause is usually used for situations like abortion and contraception. Unfortunately, when the roles of professionals in the medical world intertwine with personal belief systems, there will be a clash of values, opinions, and beliefs and the end result won't benefit anyone.

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.

Summary of The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA)

The Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) was approved by Congress in May 2008 (Feldman, 2012). This act aims to protect individuals from being discriminated against by employers and insurance companies based on genetic information. According to GINA, genetic information “includes family medical history” (Feldman, 2012 pp. 744). Unlike other antidiscrimination legislation which only addressed past discrimination, GINA prevents future genetic discrimination from occurring (Feldman, 2012). The legislation was enacted to encourage citizens to participate in research on genetics; however, the widespread fear of potential genetic information disclosure and discrimination discouraged many people from participating. The act focuses on two ...
