Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of morality and ethics in our society. It presents examples where morality and ethics are discussed in society, such as gay marriages. It also analyzes the concept of a business code of ethics and its implications. The paper concludes with a holistic interpretation of the role of nature in this world.
From the Paper
"As a result, there are two main ways in which ethical codes can be undermined. The first is from the bottom up, and the second is from the top down. In other words, the code might be violated by one employee, in one instance, in order to benefit themselves; or the code might be violated by the overall ethical stance of the business through lack of enforcement. Although the Enron Code of Ethics was relatively consistent in its goals, it meant nothing because an objective enforcement entity was absent. The bureaucratic framework needs to be structured such that autonomy is created between ethical enforcement and the business, rather than mutual dependence."

From the Paper
"Knowing what you believe, how strongly you believe, and what your moral convictions are will serve you well when you face an ethical question. Self-examination is a process that should be practiced until it becomes automatic. Analyzing incidences or decisions you have made in the past will help later on when you may be the one to whom everyone else is looking for direction or advice. This is especially relevant to a health services manager because there will be many times when you will be expected to give a ?right? answer to employees, patients, or their families in a very limited amount of time. By practicing self-examination and even engaging in professional role-playing, one will become a better decision maker."

Abstract
This paper looks at the moral and ethical debate surrounding former President Clinton's affair with former intern, Monica Lewinsky. In doing so, the paper compares Clinton's propensity for extra-marital affairs with that of former President Kennedy, also known to have had several extra-marital relationships. The paper notes the difference in press coverage and societal standards that made it possible for Kennedy to avoid public scandal but impossible for Clinton to avoid it. The paper also looks at the moral and ethical responsibility of a leader to be not only a proper role model, but to accept responsibility for his actions. The paper concludes by arguing that, while Clinton's behavior was unacceptable on a personal level, his service to the country was genuine and highly successful.
From the Paper
"In today?s political world, leaders are looked up to for creating a healthy social environment that is a pre-requisite for a healthy governing environment. More over, a growing population of the working class Americans is taking greater interest in ethics and values these days. Most voters link bad ethics with a person?s character. Many are of the view that a few ?bad apples? can spoil the working environment for the rest of the nation. Speaking of ethics, an individual who is well groomed should be able to act ethically without special training."

Abstract
This paper discusses the controversial issue of cloning. It analyzes the moral and ethical implications of cloning and whether it is correct to conduct cloning at all. The paper describes the origins of cloning, the methods currently used and the problems with the process.
From the Paper
" Cloning can basically be described as the copying of genes and other pieces of chromosomes to generate identical material. Two other types of cloning produce complete, genetically identical animals. Blastomere separation (sometimes called "twinning" after the naturally occurring process that creates identical twins) involves splitting a developing embryo soon after fertilization of the egg by a sperm (sexual reproduction) to give rise to two or more embryos (Wilmut, 998). The resulting organisms are identical twins (clones) containing DNA from both the mother and the father. The second type of cloning that is more controversial in terms of its moral and ethical implications is when the identical material that has been generated consists of the DNA of only one parent. With the innovation of the second type of cloning that came primarily with the birth of Dolly, a number of moral, social, ethical and legal issues were raised with regard to it. Religious and social organizations were outraged at the prospect of creating animals (not to forget humans) that did not involve the natural process of conception. The right to create a life, they claimed was after all ultimately in the hands of the Creator and to play around with that was tantamount to interrupting the path of Nature (Wilmut, 1998). However before one moves on to discuss the moral and ethical dilemmas of cloning, it is important to briefly study the history of this controversial process."

The Moral Stance on Ethical Vitalism, 2002.
In support of Paul Taylor's views on ethical vitalism, this paper argues that humans must have an ethical code of behavior toward nature.

Abstract
The moral stance on ethical vitalism affirms that living organisms deserve respect for their intrinsic self-worth. Humans, therefore, must simply have a certain ethical code of behavior toward nature. There approach to the living world must be life-centred, not human centred. This is the belief of Paul Taylor, who argues that the belief that human life is superior to any other living organism is flawed. While some of Taylor's assumptions have their own weakness, this essay will contend that his overall view is legitimate. There does need to be a moral stance on ethical vitalism. If there is not, then humans must concede their subjectivity in defining the worth of human and non-human life.

Abstract
This paper briefly discusses the moral and ethical aspects of a "just war" by focusing on Alex Moseley's "Just War Theory". It looks at the concept of war from a religious point of view and discusses whether any war could truly be justified.
From the Paper
"Saint Thomas Aquinas was another important person who supported the developed the concept of ?just war? wherein religious sanction was accorded under certain conditions. Saint Thomas declared that, "those who are attacked, should be attacked because they deserve it on account of some fault.". [John Raymond] He proposed three conditions namely ?just cause?, ?authorized authority? and ?rightful intention? as prerequisites for approving a war. According to him, the ruler of a nation has the authority to declare war against any other nation to restore peace and protect his own nation from an internal chaos or impending danger. St Thomas explains that the divine doctrine ?he who takes the sword will perish by it? is not applicable in the case of war because the use of sword is approved by the authority to defend the national integrity. He further justified his ?just war? theory but pointing out to the biblical injunction ?do not resist evil?. Another important aspect stressed by St. Thomas is the prevalence of the common good over individual moral considerations. That is he seems to approve of two different moral codes at the individual and collective level. [John Raymond]"

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines and discusses ethics and morality and differentiates between them by providing supporting documentation taken from several sources. Before being able to distinguish the differences, there needs to be an understanding of what ethics and morality are. The paper defines ethics as the explicit, philosophical reflection on moral beliefs and practices. Morality is defined as the beliefs and practices concerning good and evil by means of which we guide our behavior.
From the Paper
"The Book of Job is often associated with the concept of morality. It is an allegory that is divided into five parts. The central theme of the book is should Job fear God. The question of morality arises in assessing whether Job fears God out of a sense of morality and ethics or because he is afraid of retribution. ?Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil? (Eccl. 12:13, 14).
Are people ethically and moral because they want to be or because they feel they have to be? Can you be ethical and still be immoral? For example, a lawyer may follow the law to the nth degree and be very forthright in his business dealings but does that make him a moral person? A doctor must make ethical decisions when it comes to patient care but what about the moral decision to end suffering, and in some cases allow the patient to die with dignity."

Ethics and Morality, 2004.
An analysis of ethics and morality according to John Stuart Mill and Immanuel Kant.
1,713 words (approx. 6.9 pages), 2 sources, MLA, $ 55.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents a philosophical discussion of ethics and morality as per the teachings and beliefs of Immanuel Kant and John Stuart Mill. The paper contends that, between these two, a distinction is evident between the types of actions categorized as moral or immoral as revolving around universalism and relativism. Generally speaking, relativism is based upon the idea that truth is relative to the individual, the community, or the culture. Obviously then, universalism asserts that truth is independent of these factors, and sometimes, is defined by a higher authority, such as God. The paper examines these philosophers' interpretations of normative theory.
From the Paper
"John Stuart Mill was born in1806 in London, England and was exposed, at an early age, to nearly all the classics works of history, economics, mathematics, and logic. He schooling came primarily from home, as his father was a leading member of the Philosophical Radicals; accordingly, his later publications always exhibited a liberal slant. Aside from his father, his other major influence was Jeremy Bentham who was a strict hedonist utilitarian in his ethical beliefs. Mill drew much upon Bentham's beliefs but soon took his own unique approach to the topic of ethics; utilitarianism would remain the centerpiece of his philosophy, but his historic resilience can be attributed to the distinctive nature of his arguments."

Abstract
The Enlightenment was a time when man, stepping out of his shackles, began to use his rational facilities to pull himself out of the medieval pits of mysticism and, in the process, shove aside the state and church authorities of the day. It was a spontaneous and defused movement, which fed upon itself and led to the great scientific discoveries from which we all benefit today. Beliefs in natural law and universal order developed, which not only promoted scientific findings and advancements of a material nature, but which also gave a scientific approach to political and social issues. Foremost among the Enlightenment ranks were John Locke (1632-1704) and Thomas Hobbes (1588-1679). This paper examines their view on ethics and morality, focusing on their treatments of the following concepts: state of nature, social compact, and role of the government.
From the Paper
"The moral philosopher instead will explain what makes an act right or a person virtuous. In discussing criteria of right action and virtuous character, the philosopher will try to try to show certain traits, such as honesty, generosity, and courage are worthy, and others, such as hypocrispy, selfishness, and cowardices are not. More generally, the moral philosopher seeks a clear and well-reasoned answer to the question: "What does it mean to be moral?" Both Locke and Hobbes attempt to answer this question in terms of what we, as responsible agents confronting wrong and right, ought to do. The emphasis is not becoming a virtuous individual, but, rather, on how people should act in relation to society and government."
