Ethics And Ethics : Ethics

Professors Bojan Borstner and Smiljana Gartner of the University of Maribor believe that ethical decision making through critical thinking is proven to be the best way for people to improve themselves as human beings. In fact, some ethics instructors want to teach their students how to project human nature itself, act in accordance with their moral beliefs, and use reasoning and thinking skills to analyze specific problems (Borstner 13). If these main class objectives could affect the curricula of educational institutions worldwide, a majority of students may have a better understanding of virtue, an expanded knowledge of human nature, and more effective communication skills for discussing any current issue. At any educational level, a typical ethics course requires students to enhance their persuasion skills by understanding and taking advanced steps to finding the right solutions to controversial issues. Reasoning skills are the most effective way to personally attain moral values because it enables people to view ethics as a critically reflective thinking process. It also helps individuals express their thoughts and reactions toward each ethical dilemma that they face in their lifetime, yet there are other steps beyond reasoning to successfully handle real-life situations. The most important of these steps are to use case studies and to interpersonally communicate often about the issues

The first ethical belief that the author discusses is Cultural Relativism. It talks about the how diversity is becoming more and more apparent between different cultures worldwide. The author mentions that often customs that are unquestioningly accepted in one part of the world are considered abhorrent in another, for example: human sacrifice. Cultural Relativism claims that there are no absolute standards for moral

The course of Ethics 3341-01 was a real eye opener for me this year. Initially going into the course I expected to gain a general over view of what Ethics is, and the relationship it has to the world. However, we were able to analyze the relationship of ethics and how it applies to the different sectors of public life. Not only did we look at a police officers perspective of living by a moral code, we also focused on other individuals within society, such as judges, citizens, and attorneys. This course showed the different sides of morality and how easy it is for individuals to loose their way. Within our society today there are numerous problems being faced and police and other members of the law enforcement are trying to help combat these

This semester’s ethics course has been an interesting experience for me to say the least. It has really opened up my eyes to ways of thinking that I have not had before. As I learned more in class I sought out more information on some of the concepts, which we read about. Now as I watch the news I find myself analyzing the ethical situations and sometimes trying to figure out what my ethical stance would be. As the government shutdown is going on I think about how their actions fall into different philosophies. I am trying to look past the out front bickering and see what the real fight is about.

This essay considers whether using an ethical toolbox is the best way to make ethical choices. Throughout the course of this semester we learned several idea and theories presented by several well renounced philosopher, that I put in to my ethical "tool box" so I can use them in my day to day life. Most of which I have found to be very useful when dealing with certain choices and decision making in my life.

Many of us want to be the best version of ourselves and we strive to achieve this by doing what we believe is right. However, doing the right thing is much harder than what we think. When faced with difficult situations in life, we often find ourselves at war between choosing what we believe is right versus what the society think we should do. We all have different life perspectives, hence what’s right for us may not be right for others. When dealing with ethical dilemma, it’s important to weigh the good and the bad in order to be effective in decision-making. It’s also important to see things from other peoples’ point of view to avoid making assumptions and using unbiased judgment. These things are not easy to do, but they’re the best approach to

The subject of ethics challenges cognitive comprehension; the curriculum itself conjures multiple possibilities in an attempt to guide the moral compass. On the levels of spiritual and moral guidance, soul searching itself will become a strenuous process, and by discovering your own indecision, these ethical questions will be avoided at all costs. Ethical questions are defined as “ everything that you are not supposed to discuss in public” – (Alexander). By subjecting oneself to the bane of human nature, a solution can never be definite, but how are we to solve problems without searching for a solution? When a solution cannot be discovered, the topic is moved to the category of “politics”,

According to the Ethics Awareness Inventory [EAI] (Williams Institute for Ethics and Management [WIEM], 2003), "[My] ethical perspective is most likely to be based on obligation, and…least likely to be based on equity." In this paper, I will apply the results of this inventory to my personal and professional development, explaining how my educational experience has shaped my ethical thinking, addressing my use of ethics in thinking and decision-making, and discussing my potential for conflict in situations with people of different ethical perspectives.

Ethics has a long history, and many ethical theories have been around since the Ancient Greeks. When I first entered this course I didn’t know exactly what to think. I knew what was right and wrong and good and bad but I never really stopped and thought about it as ethics. I just looked at it as the way I was raised and what society expected. As I become aware of the various ethical theories, I discovered a number of contradictions in some of my own beliefs. I learn what we were taught as children may be challenged by our adult experiences.

Ethical relativism further implies that an individual’s determination of right and wrong is subjective to their individuality and culture, which is a barrier to universalism because individuality and culture differ significantly.

According to Jennings, there are a number of questions one perhaps could ask of themselves concerning ethics. What is my personal stand on ethics? Does my view of ethics seems similar or is it quite different from others? Will my actions help or create difficulty for others? Seemingly, these are quite simple questions however in the context of ethics they can become very daunting as well as build awareness (Jennings, 2012).

My method of approaching moral dilemmas has evolved as this course has progressed. Initially, I based almost every moral decision on my personal code, a set of beliefs shaped by my experiences and upbringing. While this has remained the case, my frame of reference has expanded. Instead of relying only on my experiences and of those I agree with, this course has taught me to take every perspective into consideration. These are often just as valid as my own, and my cultural and cognizant biases should be checked before a judgement is made.

Through this ethics course I can honestly say that I still have the same view point of the ethical

Because of this blending of ethical perspectives, it was highly recommended that I "consider whether (a) you are experiencing an internal conflict in attempting to function in two distinguishable moral realms, or (b) your ethical style is a blend of two

During this short summer class, I have understood more than I ever could have done before. Not only because the study of ethics is crucial, but also because being socially responsible is part of being ethical. Among the most important assignments required from this course are: Journals, discussion boards, social project, and the lectures. However, the first group collaboration was our own code of ethics; from there, students were required to follow it as part of the course.
