Ethics
Ethics is an area of study that deals with ideas about what is good and bad behavior
A branch of philosophy dealing with what is morally right or wrong
Ethics is about our actions and decisions
Right vs. Wrong
Ethics
ETHICS – The moral principles, values and beliefs that govern group or individual behavior according to what is right or wrong and what contributes to the balanced good of all stakeholders.
ETHICAL DILEMMA – A situation in which no choice is entirely right
Public vs. Private Ethic
Public Ethic—what do you claim or express publicly to others about your underlying values, intentions and motivations in a particular situation.
Private Ethic—what are your true values, intentions and motivations in the situation.
Public and Private ethics may be the same (transparent) or they may be different (deceptive)
Unethical Act
UNETHICAL ACT
has immoral intent. It is done with the full knowledge that it is fundamentally wrong legally and morally.
Ethical Mistake
Ethical Mistake is a decision or action that is unintentionally unethical.
Why we make ethical mistakes -
a lack of experience in making value-based decisions
lack of comprehension regarding the consequences of their actions on society, on our organization, on our colleagues…
and an inability to articulate and act on our own values and ethics in a leadership role
Making Ethical Decisions
Impartial analysis
• Visibility – the “newspaper test”
• Generality – would all organizational members be comfortable with action taken
• Legacy – would decision maker be comfortable being remembered for action taken
Codes of conduct – organization’s published guidelines of its expectations about ethical behavior

Discuss Lance Armstrong’s public and private ethics
Did Lance Armstrong make an ethical mistake, or did he act unethical?
Wells Fargo
Wells Fargo
Cross-selling means getting customers who use one service, such as checking, to use other services, such as savings or credit cards. There is nothing wrong with cross-selling - all banks do it.
In order to encourage employees to support the program, Wells Fargo provided incentives to employees who succeeded at cross-selling.
Employees manufactured fake accounts in the names of existing Well Fargo customers.
The problem was huge. In attempting to correct the problem the company fired 5,300 employees and lost its highly respected CEO, John Stumpf.
Wrong at a massive scale.
In the face of pressure at work do people become less concerned with ethics?

Passage to Answer the Question
What Is Ethics?
Ethics
is simply the principles of right and wrong and the morality of the choices involved.
Now, it's also important to define what ethics is
not
. Ethics is not emotions or religion. It's not science or norms of a society, necessarily. It's also not simply following the law, because it's perfectly acceptable to follow the law yet be an unethical person.
term to know Ethics The principles of right and wrong and of the morality of the choices
1a. Business Ethics
Business ethics
is closely tied to what ethics is. It's the principles of right and wrong of the morality of the choices made in the
business
world. Essentially, what we're doing is taking the principles or the definition of ethics and applying it to business.
hint Whether you're looking at business ethics or other types of ethics, ethical people will always follow the same ethical principles
all the time
, not just when it suits them.
term to know Business Ethics The principles of right and wrong and of the morality of the choices made in the business world
1b. Managerial Ethics
Managerial ethics
is simply ethics again. It is the principles of right and wrong and of the morality of the choices made in the context of
management
.
Managerial decisions impact employee behavior. How you hire or fire, the wages that you pay, or the working conditions at your business are all ethical decisions, and they can greatly impact employee attitudes and productivity.
Managerial ethics decisions can also impact behavior toward an organization. Do you have conflicts of interest or allow them? A
conflict of interest
is simply a circumstance in which the judgment of an individual or group may be impaired because of a difference in primary or secondary interest.
Is customer information kept confidential?
Confidentiality
is simply keeping private trusted data out of the hands of the public and other people who don't need to see it.
think about it We hand our personal information, like credit card numbers, to a lot of different people online when we are shopping. What do you think it would do for a business if we suddenly found out that our information wasn't as confidential as we thought it was? That would have a big impact on that particular business.
Collusion
is an attempt by business to conspire to the detriment of customers, businesses, or the general public.
Lastly, managerial ethics decisions can also impact behavior toward economic agent.

Are human lives intrinsically valuable? If so, in virtue of what? (Is
it our uniqueness, perhaps, or our autonomy, or something else?)
To begin, I would like to remind us that being intrinsically valuable
means having values for just being us and nothing else. I believe
that human lives are intrinsically valuable in virtue of our
uniqueness. As a bio nerd, I would like to state the fact that there
are a lot of crossover events during meiosis, which create trillions
of different DNA combinations. Hence, from a biological
standpoint, without considering other aspects, being you is
already valuable because you are that one sperm that won the
race and got fertilized. On a larger scale, there are hardly two
people whose look and behaviors are the same in the same
family, unless they are identical twins. However, identical twins
still act differently and have differences (such as fingerprints).
Since we are raised in different families, we are taught different
things and have different cultures. In general, we all have
different genetic information, appearances, personalities, senses
of humor, ambitions, talents, interests and life experiences. These
characteristics make up our “unique individual value” and make
us so unique and irreplaceable.
I would also love to discuss how our diversities enrich and
contribute to society, but that would be a talk about our extrinsic
values.

Are human lives intrinsically valuable? If so, in virtue of what? (Is

I believe that human lives are intrinsically valuable due to a
number of reasons. Firstly, human lives aren’t replaceable. You
can’t replace a human being with another just like you can
replace a broken laptop with brand new one. Part of the reason
why we tend to think this way is that we were nurtured with the
notion that there is, indeed, a special value to human life. This
could be in virtue of our uniqueness-- the fact that we are
sentient and capable of complex thoughts and emotions
separates us from any other species on this planet. From a
scientific standpoint, this is also one of the reasons as to why
humans became the dominant species in today’s age.
Moreover, human lives aren’t disposable. I think this is largely due
to us humans having the ability to empathize with others. We
understand that it’s morally inappropriate to take the life of
another individual even if they’re complete strangers because
they’re another human being like us who has their own thoughts,
values, memories, and stories. In a way, we have a strong
emotional connection to our own species. As .

Part C Developing Your Design
Solution
The Production Cycle
Within the four stages of the design workflow there are two distinct parts.
The first three stages, as presented in Part B of this book, were described
as ‘The Hidden Thinking’ stages, as they are concerned with undertaking
the crucial behind-the-scenes preparatory work. You may have completed
them in terms of working through the book’s contents, but in visualisation
projects they will continue to command your attention, even if that is
reduced to a background concern.
You have now reached the second distinct part of the workflow which
involves developing your design solution. This stage follows a production
cycle, commencing with rationalising design ideas and moving through to
the development of a final solution.
The term cycle is appropriate to describe this stage as there are many loops
of iteration as you evolve rapidly between conceptual, practical and
technical thinking. The inevitability of this iterative cycle is, in large part,
again due to the nature of this pursuit being more about optimisation rather
than an expectation of achieving that elusive notion of perfection. Trade-
offs, compromises, and restrictions are omnipresent as you juggle ambition
and necessary pragmatism.
How you undertake this stage will differ considerably depending on the
nature of your task. The creation of a relatively simple, single chart to be
slotted into a report probably will not require the same rigour of a formal
production cycle that the development of a vast interactive visualisation to
be used by the public would demand. This is merely an outline of the most
you will need to do – you should edit, adapt and participate the steps to fit
with your context.
There are several discrete steps involved in this production cycle:
Conceiving ideas across the five layers of visualisation design.
Wireframing and storyboarding designs.
Developing prototypes or mock-up versions.
219
Testing.
Refining and completing.
Launching the solution.
Naturally, the specific approach for developing your design solution (from
prototyping through to launching) will vary hugely, depending particularly
on your skills and resources: it might be an Excel chart, or a Tableau
dashboard, an infographic created using Adobe Illustrator, or a web-based
interactive built with the D3.js library. As I have explained in the book’s
introduction, I’m not going to attempt to cover the myriad ways of
implementing a solution; that would be impossible to achieve as each task
and tool would require different instructions.
For the scope of this book, I am focusing on taking you through the first
two steps of this cycle – conceiving ideas and wireframing/storyboarding.
There are parallels here with the distinctions between architecture (design)
and engineering (execution) – I’m effectively chaperoning you through to
the conclusion of your design thinking.
To fulfil this, Part C presents a detailed breakdown of the many design

Part 4. Implications to Nursing Practice & Implication to Patient Outcomes
Provide a paragraph summary addressing the topics implications to nursing practice and patient outcomes. This section is NOT another review of the literature or introduction of new topics related to the PICOT question.
You may find if helpful to begin each topic with -
Nurses need to know …
Important patient outcomes include …
Example
– please note this is an older previous students work and so some references are older than 5 years.
Be sure to provide the PICOT question to begin this post.

O=Outcome
T=Time (duration):
In patients in the hospital, (P)
how does frequently provided patient hand washing (I)
compared with patient initiated hand washing (C)
affect hospital acquired infection (O)
within the hospital stay (T)
Implications to Nursing Practice & Patient Outcomes
Nurses need to know that they play a significant role in the reduction of hospital acquired infection by ensuring by health care workers and patients wash hands since nurses have the most interactions with patients. Implementing hand hygiene protocol with patients can enhance awareness and decrease healthcare associated infection (HAI). Both nurses and patients need to know that HAI is associated with increased morbidity and mortality as well cost of treatment and length of hospital stay. Nurses and patients also need to know that most HAI is preventable. Gujral (2015) notes that proper hand hygiene is the single most important, simplest, and least expensive means of reducing prevalence of HAI and the spread of antimicrobial resistance. Nurse and patient hand washing plays a vital role in decreasing healthcare costs and infections in all settings.

PART A
Hepatitis C is a chronic liver infection that can be either silent (with no noticeable symptoms) or debilitating. Either way, 80% of infected persons experience continuing liver destruction. Chronic hepatitis C infection is the leading cause of liver transplants in the United States. The virus that causes it is blood borne, and therefore patients who undergo frequent procedures involving transfer of blood are particularly susceptible to infection. Kidney dialysis patients belong to this group. In 2008, a for-profit hemodialysis facility in New York was shut down after nine of its patients were confirmed as having become infected with hepatitis C while undergoing hemodialysis treatments there between 2001 and 2008.
When the investigation was conducted in 2008, investigators found that 20 of the facility’s 162 patients had been documented with hepatitis C infection at the time they began their association with the clinic. All the current patients were then offered hepatitis C testing, to determine how many had acquired hepatitis C during the time they were receiving treatment at the clinic. They were considered positive if enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) tests showed the presence of antibodies to the hepatitis C virus.
Health officials did not test the workers at the hemodialysis facility for hepatitis C because they did not view them as likely sources of the nine new infections. Why not?
Why do you think patients were tested for antibody to the virus instead of for the presence of the virus itself?

"What is moral relativism? Why might people be attracted to it? Is
it plausible?"
First of all, moral relativism is the view that moral truths are
subjective and depend on each individual's standpoints. Based
on this, everyone's moral view is legitimate. This can be attracted
because it sounds liberating and there is no need to argue for a
particular position. Moral relativism seems convincing in some
cases. For example, some people are okay with giving money to
homeless people, thinking that it's good to provide for the people
in need. Some people, on the other hand, claim that they can
work to satisfy their own needs. Moral relativism works well in
these cases because they all seem legitimate. However, there are
cases that moral relativism does not seem reasonable. For
example, child sacrifice in some cultures seems cruel and
uncivilized to most people. Hence, moral relativism is not
absolutely true.

“Is your death bad for you, specifically, or only (at most) for others? Why
might someone claim that it isn’t bad for you?”
I'd start off by acknowledging what the two ancient philosophers,
Lucretius and Epicurus, outlined about death. They made the
point that death isn't necessarily bad for you since no suffering
takes place and that you yourself don't realize your own death. In
this way, one could make the claim that death isn't intrinsically
bad for you.
Another perspective I wanted to add was the influence of death
(both on you and others around you). Specifically, the event of
death itself may not be bad for you, but the idea of impending
death could impact one's life. Some may live freely, totally care-
free, accepting of death and enjoy life in the moment. Others may
be frightened by the idea of death that they live in constant fear
and hence death causing their mental health to take its toll. In
this way, I'd argue that death could, in fact, be bad for you. One
common reason for being afraid of death is the fear of being
forgotten. Not to mention the death of an individual certainly
affects others; death doesn't affect one's life but also all that is
connected to it. Focusing back to the point, it's clear that the
very idea of death directly affects the concerned individual. The
fact that those who live in fear of death are looking for legacies
and footprints to leave after they leave this world is telling of how
death could be arguably bad for you before it even happens.

Both of these drugs act on UTI by fighting against the microorganisms in the UTI. By assisting the immune system, it fight against the microorganisms and that relieves the symptoms of UTI.
5.
answer. a) In women at the time of pregnancy the drainage system from the kidney towards bladder become wide, hence, urine does not pass out as quickly. This makes it easier to get an infection. Similarly women has shorter urethra than a man have, the shorter distance make the way easy to bacteria to travel into the bladder.
b) There are no of ways by which women can reduce the risk of getting UTI. Like women should drink plenty of water this will help of getting rid from UTI, a women should protect their urethra .

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Corporate Social Responsibility
Relationship Between Ethics and Corporate Social
Responsibility
The main meaning of social responsibility is that it’s more of an
obligation or a duty towards the people that the business
affects.
Ethics is about right and wrong behavior.
What is good for the society is sometimes not good for the
business, and what is good for the business is sometimes not
good for the society.
8. Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR)
Business practices that involve accessing and taking
responsibility for the company’s effects on the environment and
social issues
Generally applies to corporate efforts that go beyond what
might be required by regulations
Proactive approach
Programs that coordinate the company’s efforts to address
societal and community challenges as they emerge

10. How Do Managers Make a Difference?
Managers’ bottom line defined by the “3 P’s”
People – invest in the well-being of employees and provide
interesting and rewarding jobs that offer the opportunity to be
productive

Planet – protect and support the environment, causes, and
communities
Social Responsibility
Approaches to Social Responsibility

to solve and prevent problems
Accommodative approach – organization accepts responsibility
and takes action in response to societal pressures

provide for them?
Traditional benefits like health insurance (94 percent)
A competitive financial package (92 percent)
Support the issues and causes that matter to them (64 percent
And most (78 percent) say they want to be able to actively
participate in helping improve their companies CSR practices

Earlier this year, the Justice Department filed a lawsuit against
Apple, seeking the company's help in unlocking the iPhone 5c
used by San Bernardino attacker Syed Farook. Apple declined
the request even after a judge said it would need to create
software to let the FBI unlock the smartphone. In an open letter,
Apple CEO Tim Cook argued that user privacy was at risk and
opening one iPhone could open the floodgates to the FBI
accessing other users' smartphones. He added that he was
willing to take the fight to the U.S. Supreme Court.
