Code of Ethics Design Paper Howard E. Harper, Jr. GCU: LDR 802 May 14, 2013 Code of Ethics Design Paper A successful leader must demonstrate and have a personal character and the ability to willingly set a moral standard for themselves and set ethical codes at the agency they work for. This paper will explain how to design a general comprehensive code of ethics (GCOE) for General Comprehensive of Ethics, LCC. In addition this paper will compare the GCOE to this leaner’s personal ethnical beliefs and two other codes organizations of ethics. The goals of (GCOE) are transparent, inclusive and comprehensive. The goals for (GCOE) are: to empower individuals through self-sufficiency, to provide commitment to lawful and ethical conduct, to deliver services that are of good quality, to maintain financial responsibility and stewardship, to act honest and fairly and exercise the best judgment, care and services to its clients.
Positivists believe that questionnaires are very reliable and that is the main positive goal. However, interpretivists reject the view of questionnaires as they claim it isn’t valid as the respondent on has ‘yes and no’ answer questions and they don’t go into depth with the answer. In Item B it says that ‘parents are accustomed to supplying information to the school’ therefore questionnaires would be the best way to conduct this as they can be given out on a regular basis and don’t need a formal meeting making the parents feel intimidated and not giving completely true answers. Because questionnaires collect information from a large number of people, the results stand a better chance of being truly representative. However, some parents might feel that the questions being asked are too personal and might feel like they are being judged by the school, but although questionnaires may ask personal or sensitive questions; parents are generally under no obligation to answer them.
- Promote communication climates of caring and mutual understanding that respect the unique needs and characteristics of individual communicators. - Condemn communication that degrades individuals and humanity through distortion, intolerance, intimidation, coercion, hatred, and violence. - Commit to the courageous expression of personal convictions in pursuit of fairness and justice. - Advocate sharing information, opinions, and feelings when facing significant choices while also respecting privacy and confidentiality. - Unethical communication threatens the quality of all communication and consequently the well being of individuals and the society in which we live.
Contracts give obligations to both people in the agreement. Right to anonymity when wrong-doing is being exposed. (Incorrect) The United States Constitution gives us the right to confront those who accuse us of wrong-doing. Many are afraid to come forward because of fears of reprisals or punishment. Balancing the need to expose wrong-doing with the need to protect “whistleblowers” requires wisdom.
Many of these factors boil down to personal beliefs and value systems. We were challenged to look at several examples of good Samaritans, vigilantism, civil disobedience and crimes among professionals. As a team we had to compare our value systems with those who had been involved in each of these situations. In the Good Samaritan cases, we had a general consensus that we would like to be a Good Samaritan. In the vigilantism cases, although we could all relate to the frustration involved for the actors, we all agree that one must stay within the bounds of the law to seek out justice.
Most people have a basic understanding of obedience; however, many may fail to see the application and the impact of it in their own lives and in our society. Submission into conformity discourages the type of independence that is valued in our supposedly free-thinking world. Censorship is one of the major themes in Fahrenheit 451, and its impact is illustrated through submission in appearance, behavior and thought. This invites us to draw clear relationships between Ray Bradbury‘s novel and our current society. The association between appearance and social acceptance is already apparent in our lives.
When you struggle with language differences, it is difficult to effectively handle conflict c. Different orientations to conflict and conflict management style also complicate intercultural conflict. Two Orientations to Conflict 1. Conflict as Opportunity: a conflict is a normal, useful process and all issues are subject to change through negotiation. Benefits of conflict: a. Gaining new information about people or other groups b. Diffusing more serious conflict c. Increasing cohesiveness Conflict as Destructive: Assumptions: a. conflict is a destructive disturbance of the peace, the social system should be adjusted to the needs of members; rather, members should adapt to established values When conflict does arise, the strong spiritual value of pacifism dictates a nonresistant response-often avoidance.
I also believe that taking things away from them is a great way of showing them that they must do what they are told. It works better then spanking them half of the time. They do not want their favorite toy or game console taken away because they would be lost without it. Would you want to be hit for everything you did wrong? Of course not, sit down with your child and come up with a game plan for when they misbehave what will happen, make it known so when it is time to take action they will not be surprised.
The constant demand for societal acceptance among individuals is irrefutable. People will do whatever it may require to attain public approval for the satisfaction of their personal well-being. Whether it is physical or psychological, the idea of being unattractive to man is distressing provided that in such circumstances, the obstacles that one must face can be fierce. In result, the population strives to attain this acceptance so that the consequences can be successfully avoided. Oftentimes, this hindrance can be mistakenly placed upon virtuous beings even though it is typically a self-controlled formulation.
If children are under the impression that tolerating parents’ mistakes without taking any initiative to correct them from the wrong to right means taking care of the well-being of our parents, this would come at odds with the principle of filial piety. Even so, this might provoke potential hazards towards their parents, harming their mental and emotional aspects as they would feel perturb from the lawbreaking actions that they have done previously. The unlawful action is a leap in the dark where the consequences are beyond retrieval - not only putting himself at the risk of suffering agonies of guilt, the social harmony will be impaired as well. As a consequence, to avoid putting the cart before the horse, what being a child should do is to put back our parents on the right track if their parents are on the verge of errancy. Accordingly, it is clear that children should report one’s parents’ unlawful action to the authorities as to take up their responsibility on filial
