Chapter 2: Ethics in Law
Business Law class Chapter 2 is titled: Ethics in our Law

A Framework for Thinking EthicallyThis document is designed as a.docx
A Framework for Thinking Ethically
This document is designed as an introduction to thinking ethically. We all have an image of our better selves-of how we are when we act ethically or are "at our best." We probably also have an image of what an ethical community, an ethical business, an ethical government, or an ethical society should be. Ethics really has to do with all these levels-acting ethically as individuals, creating ethical organizations and governments, and making our society as a whole ethical in the way it treats everyone.What is Ethics?
Simply stated, ethics refers to standards of behavior that tell us how human beings ought to act in the many situations in which they find themselves-as friends, parents, children, citizens, businesspeople, teachers, professionals, and so on.
It is helpful to identify what ethics is NOT:
· Ethics is not the same as feelings. Feelings provide important information for our ethical choices. Some people have highly developed habits that make them feel bad when they do something wrong, but many people feel good even though they are doing something wrong. And often our feelings will tell us it is uncomfortable to do the right thing if it is hard.
· Ethics is not religion. Many people are not religious, but ethics applies to everyone. Most religions do advocate high ethical standards but sometimes do not address all the types of problems we face.
· Ethics is not following the law. A good system of law does incorporate many ethical standards, but law can deviate from what is ethical. Law can become ethically corrupt, as some totalitarian regimes have made it. Law can be a function of power alone and designed to serve the interests of narrow groups. Law may have a difficult time designing or enforcing standards in some important areas, and may be slow to address new problems.
· Ethics is not following culturally accepted norms. Some cultures are quite ethical, but others become corrupt -or blind to certain ethical concerns (as the United States was to slavery before the Civil War). "When in Rome, do as the Romans do" is not a satisfactory ethical standard.
· Ethics is not science. Social and natural science can provide important data to help us make better ethical choices. But science alone does not tell us what we ought to do. Science may provide an explanation for what humans are like. But ethics provides reasons for how humans ought to act. And just because something is scientifically or technologically possible, it may not be ethical to do it.
Why Identifying Ethical Standards is Hard
There are two fundamental problems in identifying the ethical standards we are to follow:
1. On what do we base our ethical standards?
2. How do those standards get applied to specific situations we face?
If our ethics are not based on feelings, religion, law, accepted social practice, or science, what are they based on? Many philosophers and ethicists have helped us answer this critical question. They have suggested .
Ethic and Law ?'s
The document outlines five steps of decision making: 1) Utilitarian, 2) Rights, 3) Fairness & Justice, 4) Common Good, and 5) Virtue. It defines the difference between law and ethics, noting that ethics is a moral code while law is the codification of ethics by government. The difference between rights and virtues is explained, with virtues representing a narrower set of desirable values. Various schools of decision making are listed as group, democratic, behind doors or dictatorship. Finally, the difference between stare decisis and something being unconstitutional is defined, with stare decisis referring to courts making decisions based on precedents from earlier similar cases to maintain consistency in applying the law.
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.

This document advocates for extending psychological treatment in the juvenile legal system. It discusses how biological factors like brain development impact juveniles' decision-making compared to adults. Psychological principles of ethics, like beneficence and non-maleficence, should guide the legal system. Research questions whether psychological treatment could better rehabilitate juvenile delinquents than traditional punishment. A quantitative study is proposed to correlate variables like age, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, and prior legal/mental health history with rehabilitation outcomes to determine if expanded psychological services would be more effective.
Week 11 Ethical Decision Making (1).pdf
This document presents a framework for ethical decision making and discusses the minimum requirements of morality. It uses the case of Baby Theresa, an anencephalic infant, to explore different ethical approaches. The framework involves 5 steps: 1) recognizing ethical issues 2) getting facts 3) evaluating options 4) making a decision using approaches like utilitarianism and virtue ethics 5) acting and reflecting. It also outlines 5 sources of ethical standards - the utilitarian, rights, justice, common good, and virtue approaches. While each provides insights, they may sometimes conflict, so ethical decisions require considering all approaches.
Ethics, law and bioethics
Ethics, law, and bioethics are related but distinct concepts. Ethics concern moral standards of conduct and determining what is good versus bad. Laws are societal rules that must be followed or face penalties. Bioethics applies ethics to issues in medicine and biotechnology. It addresses topics like end of life care, reproduction, cloning, and genetics. Key principles of bioethics include respecting autonomy, benefiting patients, distributing risks and benefits fairly, and avoiding harm.

INTRODUCTION THINKING ETHICALLY A Framework for Moral Decisio.docx
INTRODUCTION:
THINKING ETHICALLY A Framework for Moral Decision Making
***This article updates several previous pieces from Issues in Ethics by Manuel Velasquez - Dirksen Professor of Business Ethics at Santa Clara University and former Center director - and Claire Andre, associate Center director. "Thinking Ethically" is based on a framework developed by the authors in collaboration with Center Director Thomas Shanks, S.J., Presidential Professor of Ethics and the Common Good Michael J. Meyer, and others. The framework is used as the basis for many programs and presentations at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.
TAKEN FROM: http://www.scu.edu/ethics/practicing/decision/framework.html
Moral issues greet us each morning in the newspaper, confront us in the memos on our desks, nag us from our children's soccer fields, and bid us good night on the evening news. We are bombarded daily with questions about the justice of our foreign policy, the morality of medical technologies that can prolong our lives, the rights of animals or perhaps the fairness of our children's teachers dealing with diverse students in their classrooms.
Dealing with these moral issues is often perplexing. How, exactly, should we think through an ethical issue? What questions should we ask? What factors should we consider?
WHAT IS ETHICS?
Simply stated, ethics refers to standards of behavior that tell us how human beings ought to act in the many situations in which they find themselves-as friends, parents, children, citizens, businesspeople, teachers, professionals, and so on.
According to The National Institute of Health: “Ethics seeks to determine what a person should do, or the best course of action, and provides reasons why. It also helps people decide how to behave and treat one another, and what kinds of communities would be good to live in.”
“Bioethics is a subfield of ethics that explores ethical questions related to the life sciences. Bioethical analysis helps people make decisions about their behavior and about policy questions that governments, organizations, and communities must face when they consider how best to use new biomedical knowledge and innovation”.
WHAT ETHICS IS NOT:
• Ethics is not the same as feelings. Feelings provide important information for our ethical choices. Some people have highly developed habits that make them feel bad when they do something wrong, but many people feel good even though they are doing something wrong. And often our feelings will tell us it is uncomfortable to do the right thing if it is hard.
Ethics is not religion. Many people are not religious, but ethics applies to everyone. Most religions do advocate high ethical standards but sometimes do not address all the types of problems we face.
• Ethics is not following the law. A good system of law does incorporate many ethical standards, but law can deviate from what is ethical. Law can become ethically corrupt, as some totalitarian regimes have made it..

Project DescriptionApply decision-making frameworks to IT-rela.docx
Project Description
Apply decision-making frameworks to IT-related ethical issues
There are several ethical theories described in Module 1: Ethical Theories. Module 2: Methods of Ethical Decision Making, describes frameworks for ethical analysis. For this paper, use the Reynolds Seven-Step approach to address the following:
· Describe a current IT-related ethical issue; and define a problem statement
· Analyze your problem using a decision-making framework chosen from Module 2.
· Discuss the applicable ethical theory from Module 1 that supports your decision.
· Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper.
· Use APA style and format. Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) reference citations for all sources. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.
Each of Reynolds seven steps must be a major heading in your paper.
Here are some suggested issues-
1. Workplace Issue.
2. Privacy on the Web. What is happening now in terms of privacy on the Web? Think about recent abuses and improvements. Describe and evaluate Web site policies, technical and privacy policy protections, and current proposals for government regulations.
3. Personal Data Privacy Regulations in Other Countries. Report on personal data privacy regulations, Web site privacy policies, and governmental/law enforcement about access to personal data in one or more countries; e.g., the European Union. This is especially relevant as our global economic community expands and we are more dependent on non-US clients for e-Business over the Internet. (Note: new proposed regulations are under review in Europe.)
4. Spam. Describe new technical solutions and the current state of regulation. Consider the relevance of freedom of speech. Discuss the roles of technical and legislative solutions.
5. Computer-Based Crimes. Discuss the most prevalent types of computer crimes, such as Phishing. Analyze why and how these can occur. Describe protective measures that might assist in preventing or mitigating these types of crimes.
6. Government surveillance of the Internet. The 9/11 attacks on the US in 2001 brought many new laws and permits more government surveillance of the Internet. Is this a good idea? Many issues are cropping up daily in our current periodicals!
7. The Digital Divide. Does it exist; what does it look like; and, what are the ethical considerations and impact?
8. Privacy in the Workplace: Monitoring Employee Web and E-Mail Use. What are current opinions concerning monitoring employee computer use. What policies are employers using? Should this be authorized or not? Policies are changing even now!
9. Medical Privacy. Who owns your medical history? What is the state of current legislation to protect your health information? Is it sufficient? There are new incentives with federal stimulus financing for health care organizations to de.
Sex Offenders LawsCrimes related to sex offenses have been trea.docx
Sex Offenders Laws
Crimes related to sex offenses have been treated differently by the lawmakers when compared to other crimes. With changes in the release of offenders from prison with the introduction of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification. Laws mainly require the sex offenders to report to the police to offer reliable details once released from prison. This secure information includes the offender's name, DNA test, marital status, place of living, and a list of contacts. The registration laws also dictate the localities where the sex offenders should be and should avoid mostly near schools and day care centers (Esaterly, 2015). There is the debate that these laws should be changed based on the impact they have on the offender, considering they have already served their terms in jail. Some offenders once released from prisons become changed persons, subject to the laws, they may see themselves as culprits and unwanted in the society. Therefore, this paper provides the analysis of the rules concerning sexual offenses. This discussion-based on looking at the existing problems regarding equity, social issues, and ethical or moral concern regarding this law. This paper also offers a focus on the possible solutions as well as the advantages of these solutions on the issues related to sexual offense laws concerns.
Historical perspective of sexual offense laws
On most occasions, the lawmakers tend to assume that even after the prisoner's released from the prisons, they can still have the spirit of committing a similar offense. Therefore, police officers are always watching and monitoring their movement. Sex offenses result in emotional as well as the physical disturbances to the injured party hence it is becoming a challenge to let the offenders free even after being released from the prison. The lawmakers work every bit to ensure that everything is under control and no such incidence repeated.
Social Problems
Sexual offender laws play a crucial role in reducing the number of sexual offenses in the society. Sexual assault leaves a terrible taste in the mouth of the victims and their close relatives. It causes permanent scars which can affect how the victims relate to other members of the opposite sex as well as a way of reacting to the ordinary life. Therefore, the laws protect these individuals from undergoing such experience by preventing such behavior s in the society. However, despite the protection of the victims by the statutes, the offenders are left to suffer within the community. Sex offenders face residence restrictions, housing instability, loss of the interpersonal relationship, and finding challenges in accessing social support mechanism. It is genuine that the administrators are endeavoring to counteract such practices in the general public. The decree does not consider that the wrongdoer has just served the correctional facility terms and ought not further be put on discipline like house confinement, house flimsiness in .
Project steps
The document discusses a research project on same-sex marriage bans in Florida. It will examine the laws banning same-sex marriage, perspectives from psychology on why people support or oppose such bans, and how education could inform views. There are conflicts between laws guaranteeing equal rights and new bans, and between emotional responses and facts. The project aims to establish common ground by explaining how same-sex marriage expands equal rights without harming others.
3) law and morality
This document discusses the relationship between law and morality. It begins by defining morality as rules of conduct that are seen as right or wrong within a society. There are different sources and types of morality. The relationship between law and morality is complex, as they sometimes overlap but also diverge. While law is based on rules and aims to establish order, morality is based on societal values and beliefs. The document examines several cases and issues to illustrate debates around public versus private morality, and whether immoral acts should be legalized.

INTRODUCTION:
THINKING ETHICALLY A Framework for Moral Decision Making
***This article updates several previous pieces from Issues in Ethics by Manuel Velasquez - Dirksen Professor of Business Ethics at Santa Clara University and former Center director - and Claire Andre, associate Center director. "Thinking Ethically" is based on a framework developed by the authors in collaboration with Center Director Thomas Shanks, S.J., Presidential Professor of Ethics and the Common Good Michael J. Meyer, and others. The framework is used as the basis for many programs and presentations at the Markkula Center for Applied Ethics.
TAKEN FROM: http://www.scu.edu/ethics/practicing/decision/framework.html
Moral issues greet us each morning in the newspaper, confront us in the memos on our desks, nag us from our children's soccer fields, and bid us good night on the evening news. We are bombarded daily with questions about the justice of our foreign policy, the morality of medical technologies that can prolong our lives, the rights of animals or perhaps the fairness of our children's teachers dealing with diverse students in their classrooms.
Dealing with these moral issues is often perplexing. How, exactly, should we think through an ethical issue? What questions should we ask? What factors should we consider?
WHAT IS ETHICS?
Simply stated, ethics refers to standards of behavior that tell us how human beings ought to act in the many situations in which they find themselves-as friends, parents, children, citizens, businesspeople, teachers, professionals, and so on.
According to The National Institute of Health: “Ethics seeks to determine what a person should do, or the best course of action, and provides reasons why. It also helps people decide how to behave and treat one another, and what kinds of communities would be good to live in.”
“Bioethics is a subfield of ethics that explores ethical questions related to the life sciences. Bioethical analysis helps people make decisions about their behavior and about policy questions that governments, organizations, and communities must face when they consider how best to use new biomedical knowledge and innovation”.
WHAT ETHICS IS NOT:
• Ethics is not the same as feelings. Feelings provide important information for our ethical choices. Some people have highly developed habits that make them feel bad when they do something wrong, but many people feel good even though they are doing something wrong. And often our feelings will tell us it is uncomfortable to do the right thing if it is hard.
Ethics is not religion. Many people are not religious, but ethics applies to everyone. Most religions do advocate high ethical standards but sometimes do not address all the types of problems we face.
• Ethics is not following the law. A good system of law does incorporate many ethical standards, but law can deviate from what is ethical. Law can become ethically corrupt, as some totalitarian regimes have made it..

Project Description
Apply decision-making frameworks to IT-related ethical issues
There are several ethical theories described in Module 1: Ethical Theories. Module 2: Methods of Ethical Decision Making, describes frameworks for ethical analysis. For this paper, use the Reynolds Seven-Step approach to address the following:
· Describe a current IT-related ethical issue; and define a problem statement
· Analyze your problem using a decision-making framework chosen from Module 2.
· Discuss the applicable ethical theory from Module 1 that supports your decision.
· Prepare a minimum 3- 5 page, double-spaced paper.
· Use APA style and format. Provide appropriate American Psychological Association (APA) reference citations for all sources. In addition to critical thinking and analysis skills, your paper should reflect appropriate grammar and spelling, good organization, and proper business-writing style.
Each of Reynolds seven steps must be a major heading in your paper.
Here are some suggested issues-
1. Workplace Issue.
2. Privacy on the Web. What is happening now in terms of privacy on the Web? Think about recent abuses and improvements. Describe and evaluate Web site policies, technical and privacy policy protections, and current proposals for government regulations.
3. Personal Data Privacy Regulations in Other Countries. Report on personal data privacy regulations, Web site privacy policies, and governmental/law enforcement about access to personal data in one or more countries; e.g., the European Union. This is especially relevant as our global economic community expands and we are more dependent on non-US clients for e-Business over the Internet. (Note: new proposed regulations are under review in Europe.)
4. Spam. Describe new technical solutions and the current state of regulation. Consider the relevance of freedom of speech. Discuss the roles of technical and legislative solutions.
5. Computer-Based Crimes. Discuss the most prevalent types of computer crimes, such as Phishing. Analyze why and how these can occur. Describe protective measures that might assist in preventing or mitigating these types of crimes.
6. Government surveillance of the Internet. The 9/11 attacks on the US in 2001 brought many new laws and permits more government surveillance of the Internet. Is this a good idea? Many issues are cropping up daily in our current periodicals!
7. The Digital Divide. Does it exist; what does it look like; and, what are the ethical considerations and impact?
8. Privacy in the Workplace: Monitoring Employee Web and E-Mail Use. What are current opinions concerning monitoring employee computer use. What policies are employers using? Should this be authorized or not? Policies are changing even now!
9. Medical Privacy. Who owns your medical history? What is the state of current legislation to protect your health information? Is it sufficient? There are new incentives with federal stimulus financing for health care organizations to de.
Sex Offenders LawsCrimes related to sex offenses have been trea.docx
Sex Offenders Laws
Crimes related to sex offenses have been treated differently by the lawmakers when compared to other crimes. With changes in the release of offenders from prison with the introduction of the Sex Offender Registration and Notification. Laws mainly require the sex offenders to report to the police to offer reliable details once released from prison. This secure information includes the offender's name, DNA test, marital status, place of living, and a list of contacts. The registration laws also dictate the localities where the sex offenders should be and should avoid mostly near schools and day care centers (Esaterly, 2015). There is the debate that these laws should be changed based on the impact they have on the offender, considering they have already served their terms in jail. Some offenders once released from prisons become changed persons, subject to the laws, they may see themselves as culprits and unwanted in the society. Therefore, this paper provides the analysis of the rules concerning sexual offenses. This discussion-based on looking at the existing problems regarding equity, social issues, and ethical or moral concern regarding this law. This paper also offers a focus on the possible solutions as well as the advantages of these solutions on the issues related to sexual offense laws concerns.
Historical perspective of sexual offense laws
On most occasions, the lawmakers tend to assume that even after the prisoner's released from the prisons, they can still have the spirit of committing a similar offense. Therefore, police officers are always watching and monitoring their movement. Sex offenses result in emotional as well as the physical disturbances to the injured party hence it is becoming a challenge to let the offenders free even after being released from the prison. The lawmakers work every bit to ensure that everything is under control and no such incidence repeated.
Social Problems
Sexual offender laws play a crucial role in reducing the number of sexual offenses in the society. Sexual assault leaves a terrible taste in the mouth of the victims and their close relatives. It causes permanent scars which can affect how the victims relate to other members of the opposite sex as well as a way of reacting to the ordinary life. Therefore, the laws protect these individuals from undergoing such experience by preventing such behavior s in the society. However, despite the protection of the victims by the statutes, the offenders are left to suffer within the community. Sex offenders face residence restrictions, housing instability, loss of the interpersonal relationship, and finding challenges in accessing social support mechanism. It is genuine that the administrators are endeavoring to counteract such practices in the general public. The decree does not consider that the wrongdoer has just served the correctional facility terms and ought not further be put on discipline like house confinement, house flimsiness in .
Project steps
The document discusses a research project on same-sex marriage bans in Florida. It will examine the laws banning same-sex marriage, perspectives from psychology on why people support or oppose such bans, and how education could inform views. There are conflicts between laws guaranteeing equal rights and new bans, and between emotional responses and facts. The project aims to establish common ground by explaining how same-sex marriage expands equal rights without harming others.
3) law and morality
This document discusses the relationship between law and morality. It begins by defining morality as rules of conduct that are seen as right or wrong within a society. There are different sources and types of morality. The relationship between law and morality is complex, as they sometimes overlap but also diverge. While law is based on rules and aims to establish order, morality is based on societal values and beliefs. The document examines several cases and issues to illustrate debates around public versus private morality, and whether immoral acts should be legalized.

Law as culture multi model.
- 2. Laws are the central focus of the criminal justice profession People in the criminal justice profession deal with individuals that follow or break these regulations; how are these laws affecting their well-being? The people are the focus—there well- being is ours.
- 3. How do laws affect the lives of those individuals who are required to follow them? Questions to Consider: Do laws pose a greater threat to socialization than religion or any other aspect of life? How are laws controlling in the life of individuals? Do laws change for the good or the bad?
- 4. Definition Control Importance
- 5. The process of developing the research comes primarily from scholarly journal articles, web databases and reviews. Primary Research Secondary Research › Interview with CJ Professional › Questionnaire of coworkers and fellow students
- 6. 14 12 10 8 Yes 6 No 4 Unsure 2 0 Laws Help Society Broke the Law Punished for Breaking Law
- 7. Research Conclusion
Editor's Notes
- For my presentation, I will be focusing on LAW AS CULTURE. My research focuses on Law and how it can be viewed as Culture or as a product of culture. This presentation is being presented for English 250 Section 8 for Briana McCoy at The University of Mississippi.
- The Criminal Justice Profession focuses on laws, whether it is the obedience, compliance or the respect for the laws, IT IS THE FOCUS. Those required to follow these laws are the people those in criminal justice must deal with. Laws affect the lives of the people they are working with on the daily basis and even themselves. Should the people who are the supposed clients be thought of—how are these laws contributing to their lives. Laws are their base, the people are or should be the focus.
- While researching laws and its effects on it’s citizens, Laws are viewed as culture. How do laws affect the lives of those people who are required to follow them? The laws are viewed as a way of life. Do these laws affect us positively or negatively? How are laws influencing the socialization of individuals in every aspect of life? Laws are a big part of the lives of individuals, especially the citizens of the United States. If you were to evaluate yourself, you would come to find that laws have influenced the way you do things or even think about things. Laws are important in the lives of people whether they realize it or not. My research question is very broad and consists of a lot of underlying questions to ask myself while completing my research. For Example, How do people view laws, Do laws pose a greater threat to socialization than religion or any other aspect of life, how are laws controlling in the lives of individuals and do laws change for the good or the bad? There are other questions within the research question that I considered throughout my research.
- Laws are products of culture, individuals created laws as a system to regulate. The system was created for a goal. The reasons for laws are much deeper, laws control people beyond just normal laws. Laws—defined are systems of regulating control to ensure peace and order within the given society. People know laws are a great contributing factor in their lives and that laws have control over their lives, but do individuals realize the change within themselves in accordance to laws. Laws play a crucial role in the lives of individuals. People follow laws in order to keep peace and avoid punishment. The fact that people do this is because punishment is a positive reinforcer. It teaches individuals to follow rules, not only laws, but the rules that lie within families, religion and etc. Individuals have religions, family values and personal values, how do they make decisions when the one of the following does not agree with the laws. Individuals will more than likely follow the laws than those personal choices. The importance of the law in the lives helps to ensure more healthy citizens than none.
- My research was not collected from one source of data. Instead I used scholarly journal articles prepared by professionals within the field, web databases and reviews. The research from those sources were my primary source of gaining research. This is information gave me a base to look at when developing a clear answer to my research question whenever I get it completed. Other sources of information obtained for research purposes were my secondary research, which came from questionnaires of normal citizens and an interview with a Criminal Justice Professional. The names of these individuals are not to be disclosed.
- The participants in my study all agreed that laws affected their lives. Besides personal experiences, the participants responses to the questions were similar. The interview with the CJ professional was not fully completed as of yet, but I had the chance to begin the process. From the information obtained, laws help the populations socialize. They were created to provide peace and order. The person’s thought agrees with the research I had conducted. Those people who had broke the law did not all get punished for the crime, but they did break the law. A large percentage of participants stated that laws help do help society, yet 50 percent of the participants broke the laws that help society. Even though these individuals broke the law, they were not all punished.
- So far, the research gathered provides me with a lot of information to analyze. So my stand as of right now is that laws affect culture and is integrated in producing culture. Laws affect socialization and is positive to the individuals that follow them; it provides a basis for following all kinds of rules in every aspect of life. For example, religion and family rules. Myresearch is no where near complete, I have to gather all of my information to getting a clear statement of the conclusion of my research. I have to finish the interview with the individual I am interviewing. I still have more research to obtain. I could use more current and reliable sources to add to my research.
