Ethics

Please write a short 200-word essay on: a. The importance of ethics in criminal justice

The final paper would be about 5-7 pages. The outline would be about ~300 words. It does not have to be written as a prose. It can be written as bullet points, but provide as much detail as it may allow. More importantly, the outline will state the problem/topic you’re trying to discuss, your thesis statement or your argument, how you’re going to argue for your thesis or which ethical theory you will apply, how someone might object to your proposal, and other things you’d think important for your paper, bibliography, etc. The paper is an application of the ethical theories discussed in class, hence applied ethics. It will be on a topic of your choice. You may use any ethical theory you’d like, but it might be easier to use utilitarianism or Kantianism (or virtue ethics) as that would be easier. You may also use any of the topics from the first handout, under the heading “Applied Ethics”. Some of the topics may range from “is it moral to eat animals”, “is abortion permissible”, or “during a pandemic, should we take the resources originally allocated to older people to save the young”, etc. Is abortion permissible: https://bconline.broward.edu/d2l/le/content/408843/topics/files/download/11773784/DirectFileTopicDownload

Please respond to each prompt in at least 100 words. These are thought responses and will require no references, just your thoughts on the prompts.Prompt 1:Discrimination is an ethical violation that I have witness, not personally, but it happened to three of my previous co-workers that were in leadership. The executive director decided to fire three black administrators. He did not turn to the agency’s human resources or the attorney general for advice, instead he consulted withhis wife who is a lawyer to assist him with what to say during the “firing meeting”. The three administrators claimed the ED, who is white, fired them because they were black. All of this eventually led to a lawsuit for wrongful termination anddiscrimination, which they won. It was an ethical violation because the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces federal laws prohibiting discriminationagainst a job applicant or an employee during work situations including: hiring, firing, promotions, training, wages and benefits. Learning from this situation, I first would learn the EEOC laws to ensure this mistake is not repeated, because it ultimately caused the agency to lose A LOT of money – 1 million dollars to be exact! Next, I would educate myself and others in the agency about the company’s workplace policies. And finally, attend training on EEO and be pro-active.Prompt 2:Something that I believe is a Ethical Violation is something that I experienced a lot as a manager at Panera Bread. There are a lot of things I could match to a Ethical Violation but one that I really hated from other managers involved sickness. It is sad to say that a lot of managers did not take sickness serious. There are strict roles on it and just as a person you know it sucks to work when you are sick. I was one of the only managers that no matter what if someone showed proof or seemed unwell I immediately sent them home no matter what. When I was a associate (before I was promoted to management) there were several times that I got the flu or something else serious that I was not able to go home, the manager didn’t believe me. There was actually a time that I got a serious infection that the doctor recommended I stay out of work for a minimum of 7 days as a MANAGER that I worked two full 9 hour shifts feeling like trash. Even my boss noticed that other managers weren’t believing me and he had to step in and tell the manager on duty that I am sick and need to go home. When I went home I happen to be off the next day and went to the doctor and she said I should not have been working I have a serious infection. To me that’s just ridiculous. I have never made someone work while they were sick and making someone work in food while they are sick is bad for the customers. I believe that it’s unethical for a manager to do that to the associate and to the customers.

Consider this hypothetical situation:David Doe is a network administrator for the ABC Company. David is passed over for promotion three times. He is quite vocal in his dissatisfaction with this situation. In fact, he begins to express negative opinions about the organization in general. Eventually, David quits and begins his own consulting business. Six months after David’s departure, it is discovered that a good deal of the ABC Company’s research has suddenly been duplicated by a competitor. Executives at ABC suspect that David Doe has done some consulting work for this competitor and may have passed on sensitive data. However, in the interim since David left, his computer has been formatted and reassigned to another person. ABC has no evidence that David Doe did anything wrong.What steps might have been taken to detect David’s alleged industrial espionage?What steps might have been taken to prevent his perpetrating such an offense?Write your answer using a WORD document.Do your own work.Submit here.Note your Safe Assign score.

What is the purpose of this paper? You are going to compare and contrast two philosophical works on similar subjects and decide which of the two is more convincing and why. Your choice of works are: Excerpt from Summa Theologica by St. Thomas Aquinas and “Morality as a System of Hypothetical Imperatives” by Phillipa Foot, both in Doing Ethics Excerpt from Nichomachean Ethics by Aristotle and “The Need for More than Justice” by Annette C. Baire, both in Doing Ethics Excerpt from Utilitarianism by John Stuart Mill and “Feminist Ethics” by Alison M. Jaggar You must choose one and only one set. You may not mix and match the readings. This paper should be presented in MLA style and be between 1000 and 1250 words. Where do I begin? First, you need to create a thesis about what fundamental ideas the two texts share. For example, if I were to compare and contrast Hume’s “Ethical Judgements and Matters of Fact” and Rorty’s “Moral Relativism”, my thesis might focus on how both texts address the limits of reason as an underlying standard by which to judge what is and is not moral. Here would be my working thesis for the paper: Although Hume’s 1739 A Treatise on Human Nature and Rorty’s 1999 Philosophy of Social Hope are separated by several hundred years in publication, they are unified in their pragmatic rejection of reason as a basis for moral judgment. Your thesis will be different from mine but it will share these traits: It will mention both texts within the thesis It will give at least on contrast (“separated by several hundred years in publication”) and one comparison (“unified in their pragmatic rejection of reason as a basis for moral judgment”). It will be clear on whether you find the contrast or the comparison more pronounced. Here my sentence structure puts the contrast in a dependent clause beginning with “although” and the comparison in the independent clause. This structure gives the comparison more weight than the contrast. Second, you need to give a critical précis of each text. This will give your reader a good idea of the important ideas in each piece. Since the critical précis are only part of this paper instead of being the whole, as in the last paper, these need to be even more succinct than the ones in your last paper. Although these can be longer than a paragraph, you can see in this example from Bakersfield College how a critical précis can be compressed into a single paragraph with planning and a clear idea of the arguments in the original text. Third, you will choose two quotes, one from each text, as examples of the author’s thought to compare and contrast in detail in a well-constructed paragraph. For my two example pieces, I might write: Hume ends this portion of the text with a paragraph on how writers who want to establish moral codes at a key point in their arguments switch from saying “is, and is not” in favor of “ought, or ought not” (15). He considers this to be the moment that philosophers turn from the relationship of real objects to their own “perceptions in the mind” (15). Consequently, Hume finds “that the distinction of vice and virtue is not founded merely on the relations of objects, nor is perceived by reason” (15). Similarly, Rorty despairs of reason as a way of deciding which of the complex and intertwined set of social mores, what Waltzer refers to as “thick moralities” (65), could ever become universal: The ideas of a universally shared source of truth called “reason” or “human nature” is, for us pragmatists, just the idea that such discussion ought to be capable of being made conclusive…It is misleading because it suggests that the aspiration to such a community is somehow built into every member of the biological species (65). Both of these authors try to find a way to use a universal standard, referred to as reason, to find a basis for morality but eventually find there is no objective external standard but instead only subjective standards held by individuals which are not based on objective reason. Finally, you need to conclude with a paragraph that chooses one of the texts over the other as being better reasoned. This is the case whether you found the texts more alike or more different. For my example, I find Rorty’s explanation more nuanced because he takes into account the depth of connection to moral values that individuals have while still acknowledging that there is no universal set of moral values to which all humans subscribe for the same underlying reasons. Hume is clear that incest is abhorrent to most of the people in his society and explains well how this aversion is more subjective than objective but this excerpt does not examine in any detail the meaning of this idea for how people within a society may interact with one another or with those from other cultures. What should I avoid? Try to avoid focusing on your own opinions until the final paragraph of the paper. The bulk of this paper should be about what the readings say and how they comment on common ideas. All but the last paragraph of this paper should be in third person (he, she, they) only. The last paragraph may use some first (I, me, us, we, our) person but there should be no second (you, your) person anywhere in this paper. Be sure that you cover both the comparison – how these texts are alike – and the contrasts – how these texts are different – in a meaningful way. Both should be in your thesis and both in your conclusion. What is the grading criteria for this assignment? An “A” paper will be: in correct MLA format throughout, including a Works Cited page that has an entry for the piece from your text.
