Ethical Decision Making In The Army

The United States Air Force is comprised of 313,722 personnel. These personnel all have varying backgrounds and both positive and negative values and motivations for being in the world's greatest Air Force. With such diversity, there will be situations that challenge the first Air Force Core Value, "Integrity First." All Airmen will either find themselves in or be pressured into a situation that will challenge their ethics. Knowing how to decipher your way out of any ethical traps is the crux of Dr. James Toner's six tests and is the concept I value most from module 6. Being able to navigate ethical dilemmas is an important facet of a Non-Commissioned Officer (NCO). Without this skill NCOs risks being taken advantage of and failing to

As a NCO, you will have all types of challenges in your career. Part of your leadership responsi-bility is to ensure soldiers understand how ethics apply in everyday military operations. Knowing the right and wrong tied to your feelings always motivates enlisted in their everyday adventures. Being the norm of society is something we all strive to do, morally leaders have the duty to teach ethical situations to soldiers. The motivating factor is teaching the standards of behavior. In the past ten years, we have seen to many ethical behavior issues with senior officers and enlisted. Recruiters have slept with recruits prior to them joining the military, drill sergeants having sexual relations with recruits in basic training, senior

This paper will explore the ethical dilemma that members of the United States Army face each day pertaining to Soldiers who provide essential tactical and technical competency to a unit’s mission but fail to meet the Army’s standards of physical fitness and weight control regulations. Army Regulation 600-9 covers the Army Body Composition Program. The height and weight standards contained within are clear as you read the screening weights and acceptable body fat percentages. The regulation clearly breaks down the standards by gender and age, and seem to be definitive; but are

The Army is value-based organization, so “when persons join the military they become members of a moral tradition and consent to the moral vision that animates that community“ . This mean before the Army we could be individuals and determine what is right for us. But after joining the military, the US Army’s expectations is to have not a band of individuals but a Soldier, Unit, Army, who respects, obey and follow its moral standards and commitments.

Ethical concerns of AI continue to plague the question whether AI belongs in the military. As it concerns many, there are some very good ethical reasons to pursue AI use in military circumstances. Firstly, AI use in the military could potentially lessen casualties in warfare. For example, AI robotic use in warfare could open the possibility of better decision making. "Before responding with lethal forces, robots can integrate more information from more sources far more quickly than a human can in real time. This information and data can arise from multiple remote sensors and intelligence." (Arkin, 2009) . This ethical gain could possibly almost eliminate the risk for mistake. The use of AI robotics could also show its benefits in stressful

First and foremost, you need to identify the problem consider the significant of the contact and setting. We know she at a wine tasting she’s may be already drunk. She needs to be able to identify and utilize ethical and logical resources. she would need to stay calm consider the possible solutions to the problem at hand. And also consider the potential consequences of his actions. We already know he is acting aggressive with her by implying that he will tell the court “she is out to get him “the next step would be to make sure you have assessed the outcome and Implement changes if needed.

This sections starts with how decisions can affect ethical behavior. Most people have unconsciously developed a decision-making process in situations such as a workplace or in their personal life. The steps of decision-making are as follows: Developing a problem statement, identifying alternatives, evaluating and choosing alternative, implementing decisions, and evaluating results. If any of those steps does not result as a success, then the decision-making process is repeated until it is successful.

Technologies of Precision Guided Munitions have been put forward by some scholars and government as ethical solutions the challenges of killing non-combatants in military operations. USA Presidents Bush and Obama both praised these technologies as having reduced significantly the number of casualties.

As young children, our parents and teachers teach us what is right and what is wrong. As we grow up our ethics and morals improve tremendously. We face ethical decisions almost every day in our lives. Having strong ethics will help us decide what is right and wrong, especially when we face serious dilemmas just like in the case, It’s All in the Family. Applying the ethical decision-making process to this scenario will help me decide what approach I should take if I was in this situation.

This is to bring to your kind notice that recently we have received a report from the quality assurance department regarding the toy collection which has been recently been made for elementary schools for our South American client. The toys made did not pass the quality check as it includes a metal whistle, which contains high percentage of led which is highly harmful for the children. The shipment needs to be left by the end of the week.

Making decisions about ethical matters can be a complicated and well thought-out process. To make things smoother and of a more efficient manner, there have been various systems put in place to provide rules and guidelines as to how to ensure that what is decided is morally right. Here, we will take a look at the view of utilitarianism, and discuss an important flaw it presents us with. Many articles include discussions that look at this in great depth, where it appears the once highly renowned system of utilitarianism has revealed to us various hidden flaws and complications.

Nurses often encountered various ethical dilemmas in the practice setting. Both virtue ethics and caring ethics support good ethical decision making for nurses (Park, 2012, p. 149) but these are inadequate to assist in solving an ethical dilemma (Park, 2012, p. 149). For that reason an ethical decision making tool is helpful for the nurses or clinicians to come up with an ethical decision (Kelly, 2012, p. 571) that allows them to gather information, identify any gap of understanding on the issue or the disagreements between the involved parties through a clear communication (Park, 2012, p. 140). Several authors presented an ethical decision making processes (Park, 2012, p. 141), here presented the two processes that can be applied in resolving an ethical dilemma. One example of ethical decision making process is the DECIDE model by Thompson, Melia & Boyd (Allen, Chapman, Francis, & O’Connor, 2008, p. 5) and the Integrated ethical decision-making model which was derived from the combination of the different ethical decision-making models strengths (Park, 2012, p. 140). These two ethical decision-making model steps are identical to each but differ on the detailed instruction on how the steps are to be done or used in actual case. By comparing the two models the integrated ethical decision-making model have a detailed instruction. The

During my time in the military there were many accounts of ethical and unethical decision making. When in uniform we are often forced to make quick decisions to get the job done. Like many organizations we also have our own code of ethics, morals and principles that we follow. The problem with this is that in times of need we often can make decisions that were unethical but got the task completed. We also must factor in the many differing opinions on what is ethical and what is not.

Ethical standards are very high in the United States Armed forces now and always have been. As I enlisted in the military over 23 years ago, one of the first things we learned was about ethical and moral standards within the military. The military employs millions of people to include civilians a robust code of ethics must be followed by everyone. Ethics drives the military when performing in both peacetime and when the country is at war. A breakdown in ethical performance can cause individuals to perform poorly and even affect their larger units. I have personally seen a lack of concern for ethics bring an end to a Soldiers career.
