Abstract
This paper discusses an ethical dilemma at the Stroud-Lawrence Funeral Home, a small, family owned enterprise. A specific ethical dilemma that was faced by the author is recounted relevant to the parties involved and their positions of authority and power. The outcome is reported as being equitable although more could have been done to make ethical training and counseling mandatory.

From the Paper
"The ethical dilemma occurred within the confines of Stroud-Lawrence Funeral Home. Stroud-Lawrence is a small family owned and operated enterprise with less than 10 employees. The ethical dilemma that recently arose dealt with insurance paybacks for certain funeral related services that were not fully performed by certain staff members. While not necessarily intentional, this oversight resulted in the billing for services performed that were not, in fact performed and the ethical issues arising from the fact that employees, myself as well as management, were aware of this oversight and yet, the process was overlooked. The Ethical Issue. The specific issue involved billing for funeral clothing on a deceased individual who was scheduled for cremation following the viewing."

Abstract
This paper discusses an ethical dilemma in the workplace. It involves a manager assuming his employee's work production as his own without awarding the employee the acknowledgement for future performance reviews. The paper explains that the ethical dilemma faced by the author and other employees was on whether to alert the manager's superior to this behavior or not. The paper further relates that in hindsight, even the decision the author would have taken produces yet another ethical dilemma in itself.

Abstract
A student of the University of Phoenix describes her ethical dilemma with regards to being employed as a grant writer.

From the Paper
"Describing the Dilemma: While registered at the University of Phoenix as a student, I was pushing my business more aggressively by advertising as a grant writer. As a single parent with an enormous amount of responsibilities, I needed to look for extra resources to maintain stability. Each day I would check for emails from potential clients but would not be interested in writing for them due to the subject matter or the markets involved. One day I received a telephone call from a former client that expanded her business and needed my services again. The client informed me that other companies have..."

Abstract
The paper asserts that in working in a clinical care unit, it is important to understand how the family experience of a dying patient will affect one as a nurse. The paper discusses how there are emotional, spiritual and physical demands that the death of a patient brings to nursing each day. The paper explains that death is a challenging life event for all involved-a troubled spirit and psyche prevents a nurse from providing the highest quality of care available to the patient, and the constraint of time on a critical care unit is just one ethical dilemma a nurse faces daily.

Abstract
This paper examines an ethical dilemma experienced within an organization and addresses it using Cooper's model and other ethical frameworks to arrive at a recommendation.

From the Paper
"Ethical dilemmas are virtually inevitable in an organization but in many cases, they are small and simple enough to require little analysis. Occasionally, however, an ethical dilemma arises that is problematic and the proper course of action is difficult to decide upon. This paper will examine such a dilemma in light of Cooper's ethical decision-making model, concluding with recommendations for a proposed solution. The ethical dilemma that I encountered in my organization would have been easy for me to resolve had..."

Abstract
One of the problems of ethical analysis is the fact that the application of two ethical theories to the same case can actually produce two different choices for action. As will be seen in the following application of utilitarianism and Kant's ethical theories to the case study of the "The Accountant's Dilemma" not only do these theories provide two different choices, but both present valid arguments for each choice. However, it will be argued that the utilitarian theory presents the preferred ethical alternative.

Abstract
This paper answers questions on an ethical dilemma worksheet concerning a hypothetical legal situation. It looks at the facts, claimants, obligations, and courses of action. It examines the consequences of three alternative courses of action.

From the Paper
"The ethical issue is whether it is legal to arrest the man for either DUI or domestic violence. The officers responded to a domestic violence call. There is evidence the man is intoxicated, that his car was driven recently and that he dropped his car keys on approaching the front door, suggesting he had been driving. Claimants: husband, wife. Police obligation to wife is justice since she claimed violence by the husband. The obligation to the husband is beneficence but he does not deserve it. Three alternatives for..."

Abstract
This paper illustrates a medical ethics dilemma by examining a case study of a women suffering from both Alzheimer's disease and diabetes. The paper describes the medical situation of the woman as well as her family's and doctor's opposing responses to the medical situation, which are creating the ethical dilemma. In addition, the it discusses some of the possible approaches that can be taken towards resolving the dilemma, but also points out that there is no solid resolution for this particular dilemma.

From the Paper
"In essence, what is one to do in such a situation? Although the physician, being a highly-trained medical specialist/surgeon, fully realizes that Ms. Alexander will die from the gangrene infection in her feet if the amputation is not performed, the question is whether he is bound by ethical considerations to yield to the wishes of his patient and her family members or use his better judgment as a physician and perform the operation without their consent."

Abstract
In this article, the writer relates that, while registered at the University of Phoenix as a student, she was also pushing her business more aggressively by advertising as a grant writer. She further explains that, as a single parent with an enormous amount of responsibilities, she needed to look for extra resources to maintain stability. The writer then notes that when focusing on research for each client, her studies were pushed aside, as well as her family responsibilities, and her grades began to slip. The writer also relates that, within this dilemma, she realized that she would have to organize her life better before she lost everything, including her health and her children's respect and trust. The writer then describes the way she organized her life so that she could fulfill both her professional and personal responsibilities.

From the Paper
"Each day I would check for emails from potential clients but would not be interested in writing for them due to the subject matter or the markets involved. One day I received a telephone call from a former client that expanded her business and needed my services again. The client informed me that other companies have been expanding and needed my services. Conference calls were set up for introduction and discussions into sending proposals to various foundations. I mailed out several contracts totaling 45 and began to receive early portions of monetary retentions."

Abstract
This paper presents the concept known as the security dilemma whereby an increase in one state's security produces a decrease in the security of other states. An example of this is seen in the situation which developed in the lead up to the first world war. The writer uses Robert Jervis and his work "Offense, Defense, and the Security Dilemma" as a reference point for many of the issues raised here. The writer also makes use of James Joll's "The Origins of the First World War" when referencing World War One as an example of the security dilemma.

From the Paper
"The reason for the effect of the security dilemma is easily seen--when one state increases its security to a certain point, its neighbors feel less secure if they perceive the protective forces of the first state to be capable of attacking them. A more secure state is perceived to be a potentially more aggressive state, whether this is the case or not. The Cold War arms race was based in part on the security dilemma. Each side kept increasing its armaments because the other side was doing so, and any increase in the security of the other side meant a decrease in our own security."
