Abstract
This paper examines how economic growth in developed countries is affecting individual well-being, justice within society and environmental sustainability. This includes how economic growth damages mental health, physical health and our feelings of happiness. The paper then considers the treatment of unpaid workers and the protection afforded to the vulnerable in society. The paper also considers the lack of concern for dangerous emissions and industrial malpractices such as the dumping of waste. These issues are considered with respect to John Rawls' vision of "Justice as Fairness" and Australian Prime Minister John Howard's speech entitled, "Getting the Big Things Right".
From the Paper
"Political ideology in Australia and many developed nations emphasises the perceived importance of strong economic growth. Policy is focussed on establishing an economy where Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is rising, inflation and unemployment are low and foreign debts are zero. Much of this growth in GDP, which is the measure of total monetary transactions in the economy , is justified by a magical and unfounded belief that society is like a pipeline where money is sucked in at one end and wellbeing flows out the other . However, the world is a complex system that does not simply transform wealth into human wellbeing. The societies and environment in which we, as individuals, live is dynamic and affected by multiple factors. In 2004, Australian Prime Minister John Howard gave a speech entitled, "Getting the Big Things Right" in which he asserts that Australia would be a "fair and just society" based around a strong economy."

Ethical Considerations, 2006.
A discussion on the ethical considerations of fraudulent misrepresentation and mergers and acquisitions.
1,220 words (approx. 4.9 pages), 1 source, APA, $ 41.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper discusses how fraudulent misrepresentation, also known as fraud or deceit, is a tort based on liability for material misrepresentations, upon which a party justifiably relies, which lead to a contract or other legal relationship. It points out that the reasonable reliance clause makes the tort of fraudulent misrepresentation an acceptable part of ethics law and how the ethical ramifications of the extension of liability are enormous. It also relates that the very complexity of most mergers and acquisitions, combined with the sheer number of interested parties, makes it unlikely that a merger or acquisition can be completed without dealing with conflicts of interest or other ethical considerations.
Table of Contents
Fraudulent Misrepresentation
Mergers and Acquisitions
From the Paper
"The merger of acquisition of small companies presents different ethical issues. The first issue is that rumors of a merger might be enough to destroy a smaller business, which means that confidentiality takes on a new importance in small business mergers. The second issue is that many small businesses are funded from the outside, whether through investors, lenders, or venture capitalists. Any change in a company's ownership has to protect the interests of the people and institutions that already have an interest in the company."

Ethical Considerations in Criminal Surveillance, 2006.
An examination of the ethical considerations in policing techniques such as video surveillance and shot detection microphones.
3,120 words (approx. 12.5 pages), 4 sources, MLA, $ 90.95

Abstract
This paper studies two technological advances -- video surveillance and shot detection microphones, both of which make police work easier, but which also raise ethical concerns. The author considers the effectiveness, usefulness and ethical considerations in using each of these two crime prevention methods. The paper cites Supreme Court decisions, focusing on fourth amendment issues to privacy.
From the Paper
"The question is how free such a society can really be. If privacy is annihilated, many other rights go with it. The situation could escalate to a "big brother" sort of society, when perfectly honest citizens are never certain about how their actions are observed and interpreted. That is why it is essential to exercise rigorous control over modern electronic surveillance methods. Of course, while a fundamental right, privacy is not an absolute right. There are cases where it is legitimate and necessary to sacrifice some privacy in order to ensure security. This is the case in places where security is a high risk, such as shops and airports. However, rigorous research needs to be done to determine the measures that should be taken to ensure safety, and the degree to which privacy should be sacrificed. Video surveillance is of course standard practice in the above-mentioned high-risk situations. However, in a public place such as a street or a park alternative measures could be considered."

Nursing and Ethical Considerations, 2008.
This paper discusses roles, ethical considerations and the effectiveness of the acute care nurse practitioner and clinical nurse specialist.

Abstract
In this article, the writer addresses three important themes for the acute care nurse practitioner (ACNP) and the clinical nurse specialist (CNS): ethical principles and ethical issues in patient care, professional resources available to help the ACNP, research highlighting the effectiveness of the ACNP and CNS in acute care. The writer also covers five ethical principles that guide the ACNP/CNS in their practice and notes that the move to procedure-based medicine requires the nurse to make more serious life-or-death decisions for the patient than in the past. The writer concludes that whereas the primary burden of patient care decision-making was placed on the physician in the past, the nurse must now weigh various ethical imperatives in order to make the right decision for the patient at the time.
Outline:
Introduction
Ethical Principles for the ACNP and CNS
Nonmaleficence
Utilitarianism
Justice
Fidelity
Veracity
Autonomy
Ethical Issues in Patient Care: Advance Directives
Ethical Issue in Patient Care: Clashing Ethical Requirements
Professional Resources
ACNP/CNS Effectiveness in Acute Care
Patients Spend Less Time in the Hospital
ACPN/CNS' Have Been Given Greater Responsibility
Increasing Cost Pressures Require Greater Nurse Participation
Conclusion
From the Paper
"The legal aspects of patient treatment have come to the fore, but should not be regarded as equivalent to ethics issues. Much of what happens in the privacy of the intensive-care suite, the hospice or the general floors happens outside the purview of the medico-legal profession.
"Nurses make decisions today about patient care that they have not had to make in the past. Part of the reason for this is that hospitalized patients, on average, are sicker than they were in the past (mainly due to the shortened stay periods) and the need of physicians to leverage their care decisions with better-educated specialist nurses."

»

Abstract
This paper presents a case analysis of the dilemma facing General Parkelite Company concerning the recent discovery that the formula for Parkelite was actually stolen by the company's founder. The paper discusses the ethical decision the current CEO of General Parkelite must make regarding this discovery, whether to reveal or hide it, and the implications of either decision. The paper evaluates the problem, presents a plan of action, and offers a personal appraisal of the dilemma.
From the Paper
"General Parkelite (GPC), a 75 year-old company, is a trusted corporate brand with a reputation for being straight shooting and dependable; a reputation it has gained primarily due to its carefully and continuously nurturing an organizational culture that emphasizes fair business practices. The recent discovery of an 80 year-old graph paper, proving that Hudson Parker (its founder) had stolen the formula for Parkelite, the company?s first patent in 1920, could now, however, completely damage its business reputation. As such, the discovery of the document poses an ethical dilemma for the current CEO and grandson of the founder, Hudson Parker III. On the one hand, revealing the discovery implies running the risk of perhaps irrevocably damaging the strong belief in the company?s honesty among its stakeholders, especially its 8000 employees. Failure to disclose the information, on the other hand, means living with the knowledge that a company whose culture is all about honesty and integrity has tolerated an unethical act at its very core."

War: Moral and Ethical Considerations, 2004.
A definition of the concept of a "just war" as coined by Alex Moseley.

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]"

Ethical Considerations in the Free Will Debate, 2000.
An introduction to the problems of 'determinism' and the 'principle of alternate possibilities'.

Abstract
This paper addresses the fundamental problems of the free will/determinism debate, a perennial topic in philosophy. The first part introduces the basic principles of the debate and the postulates of alternative possibilities, with their attendant implications. The writings of G. E. Moore are discussed in conjunction with the responses of Peter Von Inwagen and other meta physicians of the early 20th century. The second part continues the debate by examining the putative solutions forwarded in the late 20th century by Harry Frankfurt, and attempts a series of defenses against the Frankfurt Theorem.
From the Paper
"The subject of free will has long been a part of moral and ethical discussion. Before considering the particulars of free will, and how to interpret and apply them, it is important to understand how it relates to ethics in general. The free will debate dates as far back as Aristotle (and probably predates him), when he discusses what he terms ?voluntary and involuntary? actions. A simple way of understanding an involuntary action is that it would be an action whose motivating force comes from outside the person acting, or an action which was committed in ignorance (but not negligence); for example, giving an aspirin to someone who has a headache, and being unaware that someone in the packing plant had poisoned the aspirin, thereby killing the person it was given to, or being tricked or coerced into performing an action that they would not have committed under normal circumstances. An essential part of morality is worthiness of praise and blame. It does not seem right to praise or blame someone for something they did that was beyond their control (that they were not free in their doing of it). For quite some time an attempt to explicitly define free will was neglected (it was simply presupposed); however very recently the topic of free will, and what that means, has been reopened and pursued rigorously."

FDI and Economic Growth, 2005.
This paper discusses Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) as it relates to economic growth.

»

Abstract
"The following discussion serves as a presentation that describes the importance of Foreign Direct Investment in today's society. The writer notes that it is anticipated that FDI is a key promoter of economic growth. However, upon examination of a complex regression analysis, the writer points out that it is expected that FDI does not provide considerable support for the advancement of a given economy.
From the Paper
"There are a number of critical issues related to Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) in today's economic world, and they provide many interesting perspectives regarding the influence of this strategy in the facilitation of economic growth and development. It is important to utilize a model that is primarily concerned with the utilization of FDI in less developed nations, where there is a greater desire for advancement and potential in a variety of economic settings. In order to identify the challenges of FDI, it is necessary to identify a number of statistical models for use, including the Augmented Dicky-Fuller test and the General Method of Moments model, which offer important indicators regarding the data related to FDI within the context of economic circumstances within different countries."

Economic Growth in Ireland, 2005.
Examines prospects and possibilities relating to the Irish economy.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The prospects or lack thereof for economic growth in any nation in the world today is a major consideration at both the national and international levels. The increasingly interconnected nature of the global marketplace means that business has become a transnational affair. The paper shows that understanding the role that other economies play and their potential for growth is exceedingly important. Consequently, understanding the economic growth that has surrounded Ireland in the past two decades is important for the West in comprehending an investment opportunity within the West itself.
From the Paper
"In recent years, investors have looked to Ireland as a possible site of great economic potential and growth. Investors are drawn to the nation for a variety of reasons. Some studies indicate that Ireland's equities are cheaper than in the rest of Europe's markets."

Population and Economic Growth, 2008.
This paper looks at the connections between population, economy and the quality of life.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this article the writer notes that while overpopulation has long been a concern among population geographers, the acceleration of industrial development around the world in recent years has complicated analysis considerably. This essay critically explores this issue in order to interrogate the underlying assumptions linking development to population and quality of life. The paper demonstrates that correlation is not causality, in that economic growth and development may correlate with, but is not a causal factor in regard to, quality of life. Additionally, the paper relates that advocates of economic development as the curative measure for quality of life deficits in many countries frequently blur this distinction between correlation and causality in comparing and contrasting different jurisdictions and situations. The paper then shows that, nonetheless, these issues must be considered critically in a wider context in order to more fully understand the complexity of the debate and the flawed nature of the equation of economic development with quality of life.
Outline:
Introduction
Connections
Overpopulation, Rate of Development and Quality of Life
Unequal Benefits: Development and Population
Conclusions and Solutions
Bibliography
From the Paper
"However, the reality is much more complex. Critics argue that it is not only the fact of economic development but also the rate of economic development which is significant in assessing quality of life in that a highly accelerated level of growth reduces the capacity of the state or institutional forces to develop policies to address problems that are a consequence of growth. This can be seen in term of the damage to the Chinese environment.
"The Chinese government is aware of the environmental consequences of growth and, as in they did earlier with regard to China's birth policy, have taken steps to attempt to address some of these problems. For example, as forests are often cut to supply wood for building, fire and other human uses, China has embarked upon a highly ambitious tree planting program. This program has been successful to the degree that China has reported increasing its total forest cover."

In the Literature
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
This paper discusses how a dental student who is treating patients after hours without a license and without direct faculty supervision violates the principles of patient autonomy, nonmaleficence, beneficence, justice, and veracity. This paper first briefly reviews the salient points of the case in question. An analysis of the actions taken is compared to alternative options that may or may not have been considered at the time. A discussion of the ethical considerations in line with the perspectives of peers and the professional organization follows, as well as a discussion of the ethical perspective and the alternative actions that should have been taken.
Outline:
Case Review
Ethical Considerations
Alternative Actions
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Another salient point that must be considered is the backdrop within which these incidences occurred. The student has admitted and is documented as per student evaluation, that he has exhibited prior deficiencies in time management and substandard preparation for clinic sessions. It has not been documented sufficiently that the student sought specific opportunities through his mentors to more efficiently help correct the cause of these deficiencies, whether a deficit in clinical knowledge, proficiency or otherwise (ADA, 2006)."

The Economics of Globalization, 2003.
A discussion on how the globalization process will afford important opportunities for developing nations to ensure long-term economic growth for their citizens.
2,321 words (approx. 9.3 pages), 5 sources, MLA, $ 71.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
The paper examines how the globalization process holds unprecedented opportunities for developing nations to establish long-term economic growth by taking advantage of the availability of capital and the willingness of advocates in the West to help achieve institutional reform consistent with economic growth. It looks at how the economic potential for the investor and developing economy is considerable and how the awareness is increasing that flexible economic policies are necessary for long-term success and stability. It also shows that while both sides have contributed positively to the debate on whether or not globalization is beneficial to developing countries, the proven and moderate approach of the globalist who advocates for institutional reform is proper, inclusive of some of the worthy approaches made by the sceptics and has the greatest chance of success.
From the Paper
"To the observer, an important implication of Scholte?s idea of transworld production is that it offers underdeveloped nations the opportunity for economic growth by making more efficient use of their methods for the production of raw materials. A plant for raw materials might be located near the source of extraction to warehouse the supplies as they await shipment, or a basic textile factory might be located in a populated area with an adequate labour supply to provide jobs and warehousing for finished goods before shipment. Political relations on an international basis inevitably must come to accommodate these supraterritorial links between the producer in the industrialized world and the supplier in the developing nation because such links benefit both."
