NORMS: Standards of properly acceptable behavior
This document discusses four types of norms:
1. Technical norms relate to human survival, health, work and organization.
2. Societal norms govern social behaviors and group cohesion according to informal understandings and formal rules.
3. Aesthetic norms refer to perceptual forms of color, shape, sound and emotion that are considered typical.
4. Ethical or moral norms combine religion and community life, referring to ideals of human perfection that serve as ultimate goals to judge actions as right or wrong based on resemblance to the divine nature and activity of God.
Lesson 1: Topic 1: MORAL & NON-MORAL STANDARDS
This document discusses the difference between moral and non-moral standards. Moral standards involve rules about actions that affect others and are based on impartial considerations of human welfare. They take precedence over other standards. Non-moral standards refer to matters of personal taste or preference that do not seriously impact others, like etiquette or fashion. It is important to distinguish between these two types of standards to identify the fundamental ethical values that should guide actions.
1 general ethics
This document provides an overview of general ethics, including:
1. The major branches of ethics - meta-ethics, normative ethics, applied ethics, descriptive ethics, and moral psychology.
2. The principles of ethics, including personal ethics (concern for others, respect, trustworthiness), global ethics (justice, environmental stewardship), and professional ethics (honesty, integrity, transparency).
3. A discussion of how ethical principles serve as guidelines rather than absolute rules, as they can conflict in practice depending on circumstances.
PHI 204 - Ethical Issues in Health Care: Casuistry, Cultural Relativism
Casuistry is an ethical approach that relies on precedents from similar past cases to help guide decisions for new cases, rather than relying solely on abstract principles. It is criticized for potentially lacking objectivity and for not providing enough forward-looking guidance for novel issues raised by new technologies. Cultural relativism holds that what is right and wrong depends on the particular culture, not universal truths. However, critics argue that just because cultures disagree does not mean there are no objective moral facts, and that most cultures share some basic moral rules necessary for stability.
Notes be module 2
The document provides an introduction to business ethics and discusses various ethical perspectives including:
1. Egoism/self-interest which assumes individuals have an obligation to guide conduct by rational calculation of one's own interests.
2. Cultural relativism where ethical standards are derived from cultural values which are not universal or fixed.
3. Utilitarianism which prioritizes competing obligations based on contextual standards and consequences of choices.
4. Deontology where the standard is an obligation to do the "right" thing based on universal principles rather than consequences. Deontological theories hold that actions are intrinsically right or wrong irrespective of outcomes.
The document then discusses deontology in more detail and elabor
Org. culture,1
Organizational culture refers to the shared behaviors, assumptions, and values of an organization. It includes visible elements like symbols, language, and norms as well as deeper elements like beliefs and basic assumptions. An organization's culture affects how people within the organization interact with each other and outside stakeholders. There are multiple levels of culture, from surface-level artifacts to deeper values and basic underlying assumptions. There are also different types of organizational cultures, including power cultures centered around a strong central leader, role cultures based on functions and rules, task cultures focused on goals and projects, and person cultures that prioritize individual autonomy. A company typically has a mix of these cultural types within its different areas.

Adaptive Structuration Theory
Adaptive Structuration Theory proposes that group decision making is influenced, not determined, by factors such as composition, communication networks, and norms. It moves beyond theories of strict determinism or phases of group development. The theory describes how groups both reproduce existing social structures through interaction but can also adapt rules and resources to accomplish goals and transform structures over time through communication.

Morality
Morality refers to the differentiation between right and wrong intentions, decisions, and actions. Morality can derive from a particular philosophy, religion, or culture. It establishes standards of conduct and determines what behaviors are considered right or wrong, as well as what provides benefit or harm to groups rather than just individuals. Non-moral standards govern individual aspirations and desires and help define a person's place within their group through rules about things like etiquette, aesthetics, and games. Moral standards deal with issues that can seriously affect others, are not dependent on authority, are valued over self-interest, and can lead to feelings of guilt.

Chapter 1
This document provides an overview of key concepts in ethics. It discusses what ethics is, different views of morality, and relationships between morality, religion, law, and etiquette. It also examines domains of ethical assessment such as actions, consequences, character, and motives. Different ethical theories are outlined, including deontological theories that emphasize duties and teleological theories that focus on consequences.
Ethics
The document discusses different views of what ethics means and settles on two key definitions. First, ethics refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe human behavior in terms of rights, obligations, virtues, and benefits to society. Second, ethics refers to continually studying and developing one's moral standards and examining whether institutions align with reasonable, well-founded principles. It notes feelings, laws, and social norms can deviate from ethics, so self-examination is needed.
Ethics (draft)
Ethics refers to well-founded standards of right and wrong that prescribe how humans ought to act. These standards include obligations to avoid harming others and virtues like honesty. However, ethics cannot be defined by feelings, religion, laws, or social acceptance alone, as these can deviate from ethical standards. Ethics also involves continuously examining and improving one's moral standards through philosophical study and striving to align one's behaviors and institutions with reasonable, well-founded principles of right conduct.

I fear your aura
The speaker expresses fear and uncertainty about another person's intentions, as they are given conflicting messages about whether to embrace or fear this person. While this person sometimes makes the speaker feel alive, they are also told this person could destroy them. The speaker wants clarity on whether to stay close or distance themselves from this person, as they are scared of how this person impacts their spirit.
Success
The poem describes success as something that requires great effort, as the speaker stood gazing at success before the earth pulled and twisted their shoulders and spine as they strived for it. The earth whispered to a goddess that the more it pulled the speaker, the more successful they would become as they were destined for greatness. However, success requires balance, so the earth spoke to the underworld about providing balance for the speaker as they attained success with each step.
Me and my world
The poem is about, little kids without, whom thought the world/humanity have forgotten about them, and they realize some set of people (NGO) are there to provide a safe ground for them.
Green (owning nigeria)fatima muritala
Men in Nigeria fiercely protect their green land and natural resources like wild cats, with patriotism shining in their eyes that spark fear. Women walk proudly defending the green country like lionesses while invaders think of conquering it. Anyone trying to seize Nigeria would find it extremely difficult due to the strong bond and pride between its people, and might lose themselves in the process rather than gain ownership over the resilient nation.
A Literature review on Media and Environment
This document provides a literature review on media as a tool for environmental awareness. It discusses several key points:
1. Environmental problems in Nigeria include deforestation, soil erosion, oil spills, pollution, and health issues due to poor sanitation. More than 65% of Nigerians rely on natural resources for their livelihoods.
2. Developing countries face additional challenges like poverty, ignorance, and illiteracy that make environmental conservation efforts difficult. Traditional and modern media must be used together to spread awareness messages to both literate and illiterate audiences.
3. Effective environmental communication involves understanding audiences' belief systems about nature, communicating accurate scientific information credibly, and motivating audiences to take sustainable
Enterpreneurship,its strenght and sucess
The document discusses entrepreneurship and the challenges graduates face entering the labor market. It notes the stages of childhood, teenage years, and school life one goes through. It then points out issues like unemployment expectations after the NYSC program and what most graduates will encounter. Finally, it recommends acquiring skills, being hardworking, dedicated, and decent to reduce unemployment worries and make yourself a strong job candidate.
communication For Development And social Change
The document reviews a book about communication for development and social change. It discusses how the book highlights the relationship between communication, development, and social change. However, the book does not critically examine the causes of poverty or how it can be eradicated. It also views poverty from different perspectives and discusses how communication models and technologies have been used to address poverty by involving local communities. While the book explains development theories and approaches, it does not achieve explanatory dominance with the perspectives it presents. It also discusses UNESCO's role in communication for development programs that promote free expression and media pluralism.

Law and ethics
This document defines morality, law, and ethics. Morality refers to principles of right and wrong behavior and is derived from codes of conduct from religion, philosophy, or culture. Ethics is the study of moral principles, particularly as they apply to a specific group or profession. Law is a system of rules enforced by social institutions to govern behavior, which can be made by legislatures through statutes or judges through legal precedents.
Islam and The Media

Media and society
1. Media has greatly impacted society through the widespread adoption of various communication devices. It has made people more connected both near and far through easy communication, transactions, education and interaction.
2. Technological innovations, such as the printing press, telephone, radio, television and internet, have transformed media and enabled new forms of social interaction. Each new technology builds on previous ones and further impacts lives.
3. Scholars debate the relationship between technology and society, with some arguing technology is neutral, some seeing its outcomes as inherently problematic, and others viewing technological outcomes as socially constructed through complex interactions of human and technical factors.

Time
This poem, describe how time would never be enough for humans to achieve in life in their personal timing.
My daddy
The speaker enjoys privileges like kisses, meals, transportation to and from school due to their father's wealth, but recognizes not all children have the same luxuries and some parents work hard with less. While the speaker is privileged to have a wealthy father who provides for them without working, they understand other families work to make ends meet as some are rich and some poor, but that all parents are amazing regardless of positions or wealth. The speaker expresses gratitude and love for their amazing father.
Me and my world
A person lives in a world where some people are naturally inclined to help and care for those less fortunate. These kind people seek out others who understand the nature of those in need and give them tasks to help without burdening society. They provide education to calm anger and spread light instead of darkness. After searching from North to West, these kind people found the speaker and erased brutality, giving them purpose and reason to live even when they thought others would die with them. The speaker now helps others live as well, and is grateful for being given life again when they thought it was lost.
You
You choose your friends and reject some people, forgetting that everyone is special. With harsh words meant to tear others down, you give them a view of themselves that can damage their spirit and vision. Though you hurt others who live around you, they will quietly watch for your weaknesses, learning from every harsh word spoken as poison slowly takes effect. In the end, without showing integrity and respect for all people, you may find yourself alone with no friends if your selected friends abandon you.
