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).
Unit I Case: Sackett v. EPA (2012). Anonymous Anonymous Facts: Michael and Chantell Sackett & Environmental Protection Act are the parties within the lawsuit disputing if the Sacketts are responsible for violating the Environmental Protection Act (Sackett v. EPA 2012). The disagreement was over the Sacketts challenging the issuance of a citation from the EPA because the Sacketts were violating the Clean Water Act by placing field material on the property. The Clean water act forbids the dumping of any contaminants by anybody without the proper certification permitting the discarded materials to be dumped in a body of water (Sackett v. EPA 2012). The Sacketts did not believe that their property violated the Clean Water act, requesting a hearing with the EPA, which was denied by the United States District Court for the District of Idaho (Sackett v. EPA 2012).
Enacted originally in 1948, the Act was amended many times until it was reorganized and expanded in 1972. Primary authority for the implementation and enforcement of the Clean Water Act is now the responsibility of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Under the Clean Water Act, the states have the primary responsibility for preventing, reducing, and eliminating water pollution. The states have to do this within a national framework and, EPA is empowered to move in if the states do not fulfill their responsibilities.

Shut down off shore drilling: No both individual and team decision, recommendation was to continue offshore drilling, State Environment Director sustain due to she felt it would be a conflict of interest to agree, when her future plans was to propose legislation to stop future off shore drilling, and it should be left to the voters to decide. 2. Shut down offshore production pending investigation of all platforms? Individual decision was no as the state was dependent on the tax revenue generated by the offshore production. Team decision was no, but platforms would be inspected sequentially minimal impact on
Suppose that Cornelius believes that Elliot is not a good hire for Pharma. Can he fire Elliot? Although Adams may have had the legal right to hire Elliot without the consent of the others, it was a morally wrong decision not to seek the consent of the other shareholding partners. As a privately held corporation which is small in size, the promotion of business efficiency is an objective best served by enabling the owners to arrange the organization of the enterprise as they choose unless such decisions are outside the scope of the partnership business which would make it impossible to
You people allowed this to happen, are killing off the animals, soiling drinking water, and making it near impossible for anything to survive in the waters because of the pollution and all you can say is that nothing is being done immediately because of FUNDING?" EPA - Smith: (wondering why this reporter is so emotional over the subject - Smith chooses his words carefully): "Yes Mr. Poseidon, we cannot just have people work for free on this project, it all comes down to funding in the end." Poseidon (obviously irritated and ired at this point): "I shall see what the rest of your America says about the pollution they are facing, and then get back in touch with you with potential solutions." (Poseidon basically cuts the conversation short and leaves Mr. Smith's
Readers should learn from this book that it is not okay to judge a person until you truly know them. It's unfair to tell someone that they cannot sit in the front of the bus or drink out of the same water fountain as another person. All people have color to their skin and people shouldn't judge others because of it. This book teaches the readers that killing an innocent person isn't right and that you need to have evidence before you harm someone. We still red this book today because it show what goes on when civilized people don't do things right And not to kill someone who is only there to help and not harm.
In the US, fracking is also exempted from six other key pieces of regulation relating to hazardous waste and pollution. One of the biggest factors in the legal battles is what they use in chemicals inside the fracking process. The loophole allows them to keep that as a ‘guarded’ secret and they do not have to disclose all the chemicals that are used while fracking. There reservoirs over time have shown wear and tear and even possibly a defect in manufacturing of the well. There have been reports of the well collapsing and creeping into other water sources where the ecosystem around it has become a ‘dead zone’ for any type of life animal or vegetation.
All in all, we are really putting the environment and our lives in danger by using fracking. There can be cleaner alternative fuel sources that we could use rather than fracking. Also, the chemicals and water used in the fracking process can be used for better purposes than harming the environment, such as hydroelectric energy. Fracking poses as a serious threat and if it continues, America will be in a very dangerous
Here opponents point to the historical ethical traditions of medicine. Like Hippocrates for instance, his oath states that “I will not administer poison to anyone where asked” and “Be of benefit, or at least do no harm.” Furthermore, major professional groups (AMA, AGS) oppose assisted death. The overall concern is that linking PAS to the practice of medicine could hard the public’s image of the profession. The last reason that PAS should be illegal is fallibility of the profession. The concern raised here is that the physicians will make mistakes.
