The legalization of Euthanasia is an ethical concern in Canada. Euthanasia refers to the process of medical assistance in dying. It is one of the easiest methods to terminate the life of a person who may be having a terminal illness like cancer and HIV/Aids in their lasts stages. However, some people argue that the individual must be sure that they have to die in the end. Recently, the Canadian legislator changed the rule and advocated for euthanasia among the terminally ill patients. The law is unethical as most people do not identify with the effects of the law ...

The Safe Medical Devices Act (SMDA) is federal legislation that promotes the security and safety of medical devices and products. In particular, the Act came into existence back in the 1990s owing to the need by the government to combat injuries and illnesses brought about by the consumption of wrong products (Curfman et al. 976). From MedWatch, the hospitals have to follow laid down instructions on how to report mishandling of medical devices. The instructions from med watch also govern the administration and prescription of over-the-counter medicines ("MedWatch Voluntary Report"). The Safety Medical Act requires hospitals to report any ...

End-of-life care refers to the provision of care to patients with incurable terminal illnesses and patients who are in a permanent vegetative state, and that type of care is one of the most commonly debated ethical issues in contemporary health care for two reasons. First, because of the development and advancement of medical techniques and technologies, physicians and nurses are now able to prolong the patients’ lives, but those interventions do not always improve the patients’ quality of life or maintain their human dignity (Cherry & Jacob, 2016). Second, the human population is aging, so the prevalence of terminal illnesses ...

Learning allows our brains to record and preserve beneficial behaviors and know how to avoid harmful ones. The consequences of the experiences we have or observe are stored in our memory as knowledge to influence our future behavior. The paper explores behavior change through a focus on the learning theories; classical and operant conditioning.

Operant Conditioning

It is a form of learning in which the response to a voluntary behavior influences whether or not the behavior will recur; this occurs through the use of reinforcements and punishment. Following the experiments of B. F. Skinner, we can conclude that a person or ...

(the author’s name) (the institutional affiliation) Currently, the population expresses interest in the influence of companies’ activities on modern life. In turn, companies feel inclined to legitimate their practices to society. The interest is connected with the moral aspect of pursuing profit and implementing regulations of companies’ activities. Such practices reveal the idea of corporate social responsibility (CSR) which presents a complex area as it centers on issues of humanity, sustainability, and environmental responsibility (Crane, Matten, and Spence, 2013, pp. 3-4; Fleming, Roberts, and Garsten, 2013, p. 340; Wright, 2010, p. 1). In this regard, the following social ...

Resolving or managing conflict is the process where an individual controls and channels a disagreement with an organization. The following are five basic strategies for resolving conflict: Accommodating, competing, collaborating, avoiding, and compromising. Competing is an uncooperative and assertive strategy of resolving a conflict. This strategy can be important when unpopular decisions need has to be made or when one has to stand up for his or her rights. However, since it often creates situations of quietness and it makes others feel inferior, competition needs to be cautiously applied. Accommodating is another appropriate strategy; however, accommodating is ...

Q. 1 Constructive possession implies that illegal drugs have been found to be in place over which one has control and knowledge, such as drugs being found a warehouse store owned by a trader. Actual possession, on the other hand, refers to a situation whereby illegal substances have been found in the person, hand, or container that an individual owns or control. An example is where drugs are found in one’s pockets. Knowing possession is where one possesses an illegal drug with knowledge that it is a prohibited substance.

Physician-assisted suicide is a highly controversial topic which tends to polarize people’s views. Around the world, there is much debate in governments about laws regulating physician-assisted suicide, and several countries now allow the practice. There are many strong arguments on both side of the debate and taking all of these arguments into account is helpful when assessing the topic. Against this type of euthanasia, the slippery slope argument asserts that legalizing assisted suicide could lead to desensitization around killing, which could in turn lead to involuntary euthanasia being legalized. Perhaps the most important to a physician, the medical ...

Voluntary Simplicity Meets Modern Consumerism

INTRODUCTION When people look at the modern world today the first thing they recognize is the evidence of humanity’s development of the world, how they harvested the needed environment for energy and rejoice in the modern technological advances that allow for a fantastic amount of convenience to many people’s everyday lives. However, many of these same human beings fail to consider the consequences, on many levels, that all of these developments and advances may lead to. Many argue that these advances and conveniences have led to an unhealthy kind of consumerism; ideologies that place a great deal ...

Significant increases in the national debt, with no relief or plans to deal with the problem, and its effect on the economy An increase in national budget, with no relief or plans to deal with the problem, will result in a deficit, or more spending with less national input.

Introduction

One of the most common strategies of criminal defense attorneys when representing a defendant who has an unusual condition such as a mental abnormality, is to argue either that regardless of their actions, they are nevertheless not responsible for the crime or that they never had the capacity to commit a crime. The reason that criminal defense attorneys can make these arguments is that criminal law recognizes a number of unique situations where otherwise criminal conduct should not be subjected to a determination of guilt and the offender should be exempted from the crime (LaFave, 2000). These arguments, which ...

Qualitative Research

Brief Description The interview was conducted among two people on the topic “Interpretation of the migration crisis”, which turned to be quite challenging due to the sensitiveness of the topic. First of all, it was problematic to find participants, as the majority thought that the answers may affect their social or professional life, even though I made it clear that the participation is anonymous. Secondly, one of the respondents refused to continue answering the questions in the middle of the interview without explaining the reasons. However, as this option was discussed before the interview, it did not affect the ...

Analysis of Ethical Dilemma

Analysis of Ethical Dilemma

Part 1 Voluntary or the assisted euthanasia is taking the option of ending one's life. This can be done voluntary, passively, actively or involuntary. The doctor may provide an overdose of a prescription that will result in death. Schiavo case represents non-voluntary euthanasia. Various concerns have been raised over the essence of life. It is saddening to see patients suffer for a long time without proper medication or any vital improvement. Ethically, it is unacceptable to render someone lifeless just because of the desire to end his or her suffering. Many proponents are of the ...

Health care standards have been evolving over time. A plethora of processes and forces take part in igniting the developments. These changes could be ad hoc, systematic or even consensual. At the bottom lurks a well-established organizational structure whose object is to review the performance of the standards and propose advancement where circumstances so require. However, certain areas lag, occasioning serious inefficiencies to the system. Often, the legal framework is a serious undoing and affects the realization of these standards. Besides, diverse standards contain varying recommendations, and this tends to atrophy the efforts therewith. Perhaps a biggest of all ...

In this essay I will dwell upon the issue of euthanasia. I will consider different views on this issue and discuss the contradictions that arise in relation to the use of euthanasia in different situations. I believe that passive euthanasia is possible and even desirable to alleviate the suffering of a terminally ill patient, when there is no hope to return the essential functions of his body, provided appropriate control over the lawfulness of the procedure implementation. Euthanasia is a conscious action, resulting in the death of a hopelessly ill and suffering person in a relatively quick and painless ...

Such systems will be prone to attacks and manipulations by people who are not contented or want a larger share than that they are already allocated. Some people will also like to cartel the follow of ...

Historically, men have always dominated areas that focused on the military. It was normal for a man to be expected to protect women and children and to take part in military activities as men were considered the head of the household and drafted into the army. A man’s physique helped to support the reasoning behind such sexist decisions. Men were large and muscular. They were unlike women as they were considered to be someone that was physically strong. Women, on the other hand, were expected to take on other roles that required them to take care of the ...

Executive Summary

Third party providers of proposition player services are a nascent, but a highly promising segment of the United States gambling business industry. There is much strong evidence suggesting that the number of casinos and other gambling establishments in the country is dynamically increasing. Thus, the importance of providers of third party proposition player services will be increasing simultaneously. At the same time, the practice shows that there are serious human resources problems in this area. In particular, the employee turnover rate in this industry is unusually high, sometimes reaching 35%. This research proposal provides a comprehensive introduction into the ...

Business ethics provide greater awareness about the important and valuable business activities that can help enhance performance (Malachowski, 2001). The observance of business ethics assist in clarifying the business goals within an organization and the conditions that are essential in achieving them. Ethics draw the line between what are ideal business practices and what are not. Among the benefits of practicing business ethics include wasting the organization's resources on attaining its objectives while avoiding what would naturally be wrong for a business practice. The observance of unethical conduct can hurt the organization itself and may result to negative consequences. ...

In examining the criminal liability of the four persons about the death of Betty, several issues should be focused on approval or disapproval of any liability. In the case of Naveed, there is a need to prove whether he committed an actus reus in his threatening Betty. In the case of Peter, we need to establish under which circumstances and criminal law he might have been the causal link in the shooting, injury and eventual death of Betty. Also, there is a need to prove whether there was any state of mind with criminal liability and intent to cause ...

Book One

The three types of good life that Aristotle talks about include the happy life, a virtuous life, and the action-based life. Aristotle does not believe that money-making or material wealth can lead to a good life. According to the philosopher, human good should always feature three essential characteristics. As such, it has to be something that is distinctively human. Furthermore, it has to be self-sufficient. The philosopher suggests that human good is the ultimate characteristic. Money does not form part of any of the three characteristics. The science that studies the highest good is known as ...

Introduction A tort is a deliberate or accidental wrongful act of a person known as a tortfeasor, which causes damage or injury to another person or property of another, and attracts a civil penalty. The act can be either negligent, assault, battery, trespass, liability of harmful products or emotional injury.

Abstract Armed conflicts, both domestic and international, have used children in combat, either directly-- as soldiers-- or indirectly. Children are preferred by numerous commanders because they are more obedient, more easily persuaded, and more loyal than adults. However, this phenomenon has become a national and global issue because of the physical, emotional, and psychological damages it bring to the children who are involved in combat. The international community has actively addressed the issue through legal actions. The 1949 Geneva Conventions and the 1977 Additional Protocols came into being as part of the efforts of the international community to protect ...

Methodological Paradigm

I will approach the study through the Critical Theorist lens. A critical theory paradigm focuses on a research through a political perspective, whereby various groups: politicians, men, rich people, capitalism in general influence and exert power over other groups. It is all about power and influence. In other words, the critical theory approaches issues through a historical lens. The objective of the paradigm is emancipation of the oppressed (Dantzker& Hunter, 2012).For that reason, I will rely on dialogue method, which is a combination of interviews and observations with approaches that prompt reflection and conversation for a qualitative research. ...
