Abstract
This paper is an analysis of the moral choices made in the case about searching the property of students in a high school, pointing out the ethical issues generated by the behavior of the students, the teacher who searched a girl's purse, and the courts that made the decision as to the legality of what occurred. The paper argues that the actions of the teacher were unethical even though that the outcome was as he believed it would be.
From the Paper
"The case of the school search of the purse of student T.L.O. clearly raised a number of legal issues, but it also raises moral issues, as do the actions of the courts in the way they analyzed the issues and made a decision. A strict moral analysis would find that the two girls had broken the rules of the school and that they had also lied. At the same time, the analysis would have to find that the teacher had not acted morally but had taken action based on the outcome he believed would occur. The fact that the outcome was as he believed still does not mean that his actions were correct when he took those actions without taking the proper steps to do so. Moral character is defined by actions, the actions of choosing to follow the virtues and to live a moral and thus a good life."

Abstract
This paper considers an ethical case in which a doctor in South Africa is offered a new and better product which she could use in her dental practice, and she holds out until the sales person offers her a trip to New York for a conference. The paper considers ethical issues raised and ethical lapses entitled in this case, finding both the doctor and the sales person at fault.
From the Paper
"This case involves what appears to be a simple decision on the part of Dr. X to participate in a trip to New York for her and her partner to attend the World Congress on Alternatives to Amalgam Use. Such a congress is in itself not a moral issue, and meetings of this sort are held all the time to promote products, to report on research, and to meet others in the same field and learn from them. However, doctors should make their way to such meetings on their own and not with a ticket paid for by a company seeking to sell them a new product. Dr. X is a dentist in South Africa who currently manages amalgam restorations, and the new product would replace amalgam with a substance that has no mercury in it at all. This makes it a healthier product and so more valuable than the amalgam now in use."

From the Paper
"There are those doing a lot about the question of ethics in managerial accounting, and those doing little or even creating more opportunities for unethical behavior. If the loopholes are shut down here, will companies go overseas to grease the wheels of commerce? Possibly. Global ethics are not quite as demanding in many parts of the world as most constituencies would like to see them here. (Bray, 2000) Or possibly not. Enron marched across India with its financial sleight-of-hand, injuring that nation?arguably?as it did this one. Perhaps there are ethics watches going on globally in the aftermath."

The Rose Theory
From the Paper
"In order to discuss ethics, one must first attempt to understand the intricacies involved in this discipline. First, a distinction must be made between ethics and morality. "Ethical wisdom consists in knowing how to frame the ideal, and moral sagacity consists in knowing how to put the ideal to work and realize it in practice" (Rader 1964). In other words, ethics may be thought of as the theory by which morality is practiced. Although separate ideas, neither morality nor ethics can exist without the other. Once this distinction is made, the question must be asked, is ethics a science? Researchers have long tried to answer this question, and many have come to the following conclusion. It is believed that ethics is a "normative science: concerned with norms and standards not empirical facts" (Rader 1964)."

Abstract
The paper looks at PepsiCo's recent decision to implement a new procurement tracking and data-keeping system for its international operations. It paper examines the objective that drove the change, the factors at play which made it desirable, the main participants in the new design, and the systems development cycle approach which would have worked best had it been implemented at the start of the entire process.
Finally, the paper looks at the problems and opportunities that would have been considered by the student if he had been in charge of the design and implementation of the new procurement system.
From the Paper
"The following paper will briefly review five questions which invariably arise when assessing why a particular systems arrangement is adopted by an organization. Specifically, the paper will look at PepsiCo's objectives for any Purchase to Pay system modification it undertakes, what factors were present to motivate the company to implement the project, who were the main participants PepsiCo had to involve so as to develop the corporation's revamped Purchase to Pay system, which systems development cycle approach would have been best for the PepsiCo project and, not least of all, what problems and opportunities should have been considered in conducting the initial systems investigation? This is a fairly complex topic, but the underlying truth it reveals are not especially complex at all; to wit, the case study of PepsiCo underscores how important it is to examine every option and scenario before making detailed changes.."

From the Paper
"any companies consider what they might do if faced with an ethical dilemma and how they might recover from some disaster, but only a few companies ever have to face doing so in the way Johnson & Johnson did with the Tylenol crisis in 1982. Johnson & Johnson weathered that crisis in a way now emulated by other companies. The issue of ethics had been important to the company before this, and it had originally marketed Tylenol in what it called an "ethical marketing program" directly to doctors before deciding that the product could also reasonably be sold over the counter to the consumer, beginning in 1975. Johnson & Johnson remains a major company not just in the United States but worldwide. Johnson & Johnson today is number 51 on the list of the Fortune 500 companies, with annual sales in 1999..."

From the Paper
"Until the late 1800s, employees provided their services to their employers for a fixed wage with little or no other available compensation. Retirement planning was a mixture of savings and dependence on younger family members. By the end of the nineteenth century, that situation was changing. Railroads, banks and utilities began to provide retirement benefits to employees who had worked for the companies for a number of years, and employees began to consider those benefits as part of a larger compensation package. Initially, most employers set up defined benefit plans; the latter half of this century has seen the rise of defined contribution plans, as well. By 1987, more than 40 million American workers were covered by more than 232,000 defined benefit plans with assets of almost 900 billion dollars (Seburn, 16). This research examines the two prominent types ..."

Medical Ethics, 2004.
This paper discusses, by assailing deontological ethics and virtue ethics and defending utilitarianism, a medical ethics case in which the medical professionals must decide whether or not to perform gender-altering surgery.
2,485 words (approx. 9.9 pages), 8 sources, APA, $ 75.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper explains that utilitarianism states that the morality of a surgical gender assignment can be derived as an outcome that would be considered either good or bad; the overall morality of the philosophy and procedure would then be determined based on the positive or negative outcome. The author points out that medical ethics does not fall under deontological ethics because the philosophy states that there are absolute right and wrong answers for every case. The paper relates that, in a situation like surgical procedures, the solution to any problem must be derived on a case-by-case basis and, therefore, cannot have one universal truth; doctors do not have the freedom to decide the future of the newborns without statistical proof that their decision will benefit the child.
From the Paper
"In this scenario, the surgery for many years was considered as a good alternative to going thorough life deformed. In the case study, it was uncovered that the twin John/Joan, as she aged, was not at all happy with her situation after it was documented in medical journals as a highly successful pro-surgery example. The results of the case study for the twin John/Joan was completely wrong and could even be considered a serious act of malpractice. The twin?s brother even said that his medically altered sister was very manly throughout her early years and even suggested that she always wanted to be a garbage man. ?At the age of six or seven, Joan told her brother she wanted to be a garbage man: "Easy job, good pay."? Since the twin John/Joan?s case was the basis for surgery in the majority of cases, it also should be the basis to not perform the surgery from this point forward. The utilitarianism moral issue now says the medical community should not perform the surgery in the bulk of the cases and it is also morally wrong to withhold the fact that the surgery was performed."

Poverty and Ethics, 2002.
A discussion of the ethics involved in aiding the poor at the expense of others, with reference to Garrett Hardin's essay entitled "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case of the Poor".

Abstract
This paper analyzes Hardin's essay "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case of the Poor". The paper illustrates the example brought by Hardin, comparing the earth to a small lifeboat with minimal space and many people drowning. It explains the moral dilemma caused: by attempting to save lots of people, everyone will perish, and by deciding to save a few -arises an ethical dilemma of who to save and who to leave to drown. The paper describes Hardin's analysis of this hypothesis to the issues involved in American aid to poor countries.
From the Paper
"In his essay entitled "Lifeboat Ethics: The Case of the Poor," Garrett Hardin argues against helping the poor. In his argument, he makes a reference to the metaphor of the earth being a spaceship. Under this analogy, used by idealists and those who seek to extend resources to all, everyone would have an inert duty to protect the earth's resources. Therefore, if everyone protected the earth's resources, they would also have a right to equally share the earth's resources. However, Hardin argues that perhaps it is too idealistic to suggest that the rich and poor alike should be able to equally share resources. He argues that it is not possible for a wealthy country like the United States to help the poor and still provide for its own people. If the earth were a spaceship, he argues, there would be one captain in charge (Hardin). Clearly there is no single entity powerful enough to dole out resources equally to all in the world."

Engineering Ethics, 2005.
This paper provides a discussion and exploration of the matter of ethics in advertising. This particular case relates to engineering ethics.

Abstract
This paper presents a detailed examination of a specific case study in engineering ethics in Ontario, Canada. The writer discusses that in the case, one company (both of which will remain anonymous) alleged that another was distributing advertising brochures that made claims of engineering abilities and capabilities known to be false in violation of the Code of Ethics. The process for determining the nature of the ethical violation is the focus of this paper.
From the Paper
"Engineering, in all its many incarnations, is one of the most creative and potentially constructive applications of human ingenuity possible. Engineers build bridges. They design homes, airplanes, and spacecraft. Engineers probe the inner workings of the biological world and design more innovative computational systems. In short, engineers are the individuals upon whom much of society depends; they take ideas and turn them into practical applications, creating and constructing all of the physical elements of society that we too often take for granted. In Canada the importance of engineers is understood and rigorously enforced. In neighboring United States, engineers are favored but are not controlled or taught how to control themselves. Engineering ethics - dealing with issues like safety, liability, and integrity - is considered optional. This is not the case in Canada."

Ethics in Medicine, 2008.
An application of three ethical theories to a case of patient information privacy.
1,745 words (approx. 7.0 pages), 2 sources, APA, $ 56.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper relates that the practice of modern medicine often entails dealing with ethical dilemmas. The paper then focuses on three ethical theories, the feminist (or care-based) ethic, Kantian ethics and utilitarian ethics, and applies them to a specific case where a patient has expressed her specific wishes not to notify her family about her medical condition. The paper explains why according to all these theories, the doctor is prohibited from divulging any of her medical information to anyone without her consent.
Outline:
Introduction
Feminist Ethical Analysis
Kantian Analysis
Utilitarian Analysis
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The practice of modern medicine often entails dealing with ethical dilemmas. Where those decisions are not dictated by law, it is up to the practitioner to make the best possible choice. Sometimes, the issue makes that decision easy; other times, no ideal choice is possible under the circumstances. Bioethics requires the practitioner to consider all reasonable options and to make a good faith attempt to weigh them in a logically sound manner. The problem is that, unlike medicine, "Ethics is not a science; it is an art that requires every ounce of moral imagination, emotion, and thoughtthat we can muster." (Tong 2007)"

Abstract
This paper presents a case study in medical ethics. The paper deals with patient rights and the role of the health care provider in finding a middle ground between patients rights, legal duties and the ethics of the health care provider.
From the Paper
"Faith Community Hospital is facing a group of questions or problems dealing with religious freedom on one hand and medical ethics on the other. Faith Community Hospital (FCH) is facing a crisis of conscience and the hospital administration must formulate a policy and business model to address the ethical issues that health care professionals face on a daily basis. The hospital's administrator recognizes that allowing staff, medical personnel and patients to set policies for the hospital is inappropriate and can have unexpected and serious repercussions..."
