They could have explained to the managers that immediate termination is not the proper form of discipline for the offenses mentioned. They would have also told them that all employees involved would have to have the same disciplinary action taken to show that they are not being bias to some employees and not others. By law, generally, we go by legislation, statutes, and regulations made by states and by the federal government on multiple subjects for the good of the public and public welfare. “Laws do not, and are not intended to, incorporate ethical principles or values, but sometimes ethical standards will be reflected in laws.” (The Importance of Ethics in Criminal Justice. ( n.d. ) p. 12).
In this case, the supervisor should have approached Human Resources sooner and allowed them to make the decisions to breach the privacy and confidentiality. If there is a real risk of harm to the patient or other persons, a breach such as this could be warranted, but each case should reviewed separately and one person should not be making this decision (Mair, 2011). Business research is critical to a manger’s decision making, but ethical research is a very important part of the process. Information should be free of manipulation and confidentiality should be maintained to protect all parties
Most of the impact of this was experienced by the marine species. Eight U.S. national parks were threatened and more than 400 species that live in the Gulf islands were at risk, including the endangered Kemp's Ridley turtle. The clean up of this travesty cost the government and companies billions to clear. As a result of the spill deep sea drilling in the Gulf was suspended until new safety measures had been put in place, costing governments and companies further millions, whilst the price of oil continued to rise. A spill in other deep sea areas such as the Arctic could accelerate damage in a very sensitive environment, which is already dangerously close to its
Week 6 Course Project Legal Issues in Hydraulic Fracturing Hydraulic fracturing is a controversial drilling process that uses highly pressurized water, sand and chemicals to extract natural gas and oil deeply buried in the earth. Hydraulic fracturing takes place throughout the United States and Canada. While differences exist among drilling locations, investor concerns are the same: Hydraulic fracturing fluids are known to include toxic and carcinogenic chemicals. There are numerous documented cases of environmental and public health impacts as a result of fracturing. Companies involved in this process do not disclose the chemical constituents of their fracturing fluids.
In order for this checks and balances to be put in practice, the judicial branch must have some important role as surveillance. This applies to the fact that judicial review can stop the legislative branch from exceeding its power. Not only the legislative branch but also, the executive branch is under the judicial watch. The court can also claim unconstitutional to the executive acts that are judged oppressive. It is their job to declare void acts by other branches violating the Constitution.
In the following essay, I will be addressing these questions in detail. Since most people, like myself, hold that we have a moral obligation to the needy, my defense would be in form of justifications rather than explanations. I will begin by quoting an argument Peter Singer made in his article “Practical Ethics”. Singer claims that “not to give all one possibly can to save people from starvation (or problems arising from disasters, in this case) is tantamount to murder”1. Of course his emphasis is too strong – he labels those who fail to give “murderers” – but the situation in such cases of disasters as hurricane is so urgent that such a label can pass.
The United States led a coalition of over 30 different Nations into a battle with Iraq in order to liberate Kuwait from the dictatorship of Saddam Hussein. The conflict between Iraq and Kuwait began because Iraq was accusing Kuwait of drilling oil across the Iraqi border without permission. The United Nations made the decision to get allied forces together and begin the Gulf War (VFW Post 6298. n.d.). The war in the Persian Gulf had less than 100 hours of actual land and air actions before Kuwait received their oil rights back and Iraq was defeated. Many military veterans who served in the Gulf War have been said to have obtained unexplainable health problems which are now known as Gulf War Syndrome.
Environmental law requires a concern for the nation's resources, knowledge of where the resources are, what they are used for, how and why they may be endangered, damaged, or exploited. Environmental law also requires a concern for those whose job it is to protect them (Vig 120). Environmental lawyers may work alone or in a group. Environmental lawyers working singularly or on a team have a job, which is to prosecute offenders and find a solution to the offending situation. On the other side of things, environmental lawyers may represent the "offenders" to prove why the exploitation is not bad or is not what it seems to be.
This proves that CSOs are capable of bringing changes on different levels that help protect the vulnerable from threats and develop their rights. Pressure from domestic audience On a smaller scale, the pressure from domestic population plays a deciding factor on securitising threats as well. Governments, needing to maintain legitimacy with its people, would have to address threats faced by its people. If there are issues that threatens the human security of the people, it is likely that protests and riots will be started. If the matters continue to be disregarded, the government would then face threats on their own accountability to the people and their right to rule.
