Each situation and each person must be assessed on their own merits (Thiroux, 2004, p. 42). Since we cannot look at each client individually to determine whether or not Dr. Smith’s confidentiality policy is morally justifiable (it may be for one client, but not for another), we cannot properly answer this question using act-based utilitarianism. Rule-based utilitarianism, on the other hand, changes the basic utilitarianism’s principle from “everyone should always act to bring about the greatest good (i.e., “happiness”) for all
The prime mover is the thing that created everything and exists by necessity, therefore has to exist. It is perfect and cannot change, as the ability to change would mean that it is not perfect. This also means it is pure good as a lack of goodness means you can do better and doing better would require change. The prime mover cannot interact with the physical world and has no plan for us, going against the idea of God, the prime mover most people believe in. The prime mover is the unmoved mover, this is similar to the domino effect were someone (the prime mover) nocks over a domino causing the adjacent dominos to topple as well but the starter of the chain reaction is unmoved itself.
Education and interview scores are not effective predictors as they are not associated with the performance measure in an effective manner, which can really be assessed. The complete data of the candidate should be collected in the selection process as it would provide the best candidate to the organization. The use of appropriate predictors would be beneficial for Tanglewood in order to find good candidates. The following predictors should be used by Tanglewood: 1. Work experience – The work experience is the first and most important predictor, which should be used to measure the candidate effectiveness.
He means that if the venture needs you to be anyone else but yourself, it will lead to no good. This reveals to me that Thoreau believes strongly in the individual, being yourself, and seeking your own path. This quote is also applicable to modern life because many ventures nowadays require you to conform for some purpose. The second aphorism I remembered is “Our life is frittered away by detail...Simplicity, simplicity.” Thoreau means that our focus and attention to detail now in society and culture do nothing but to waste our lives away needlessly. He believes simplicity is the better choice.

Delbanco’s interpretation that Thoreau creates world that we both need and fear is basically saying that Thoreau creates the perfect world that we would need to best survive and would strive the best in; however this world is something that we as people are not used to and have never experienced so we would be skeptical and scared when it is presented to us. I definitely agree with Delbanco’s statement about Thoreau’s world. Although it would be nice to love in a world where things were based on a man’s conscience rather than government, and the people played a bigger part in how things were ran; it would be something nobody is used to therefore no one would really know what they were doing and who is to say we can trust everyone’s conscience because there are some people in the world with bad consciences. In my opinion Thoreau’s world would only work in
Science and society should never take precedence over the well-being of the subject, yet in The Tuskegee Study the PHS was more worried about what their findings could do for science then they were with their participants health condition. The ethical guidelines of research call for “ limited “ deception, meaning you can withhold minor details so long as the subjects health and well-being is not at risk, and the subjects not
Training is defined as a planned program designed to improve performance It is important to do some homework or proper planning before engaging in the training program. Training should be undertaken to satisfy a specific needs and should never be provided because it is believed trendy or because other companies are provided that training. “Training needs analysis can be defined as a procedure of recognizing an issue or concern, gathering, examining and understanding data, and using information obtained to select or design an appropriate HRD intervention to address the issue or problem” (Rothwell, & Kazanas, 1990. Focus should be retained on needs as different to requests. The general purpose of training analysis in the field of human resource education and training is to identify needs and describe the gap between current and optimal individual or organizational performance.
This is not a value we see in Marcus Aurelius’ writing here. He clearly thinks his views on nature and Reason represent the logical culmination of the human mind. As technology continues to “shrink” our world, it is important that we keep an open mind and avoid thinking that any group has the perfect
Certainly you would not, you would question whether or not they really knew what they were doing. Just because we are not studying to become doctors does not make our studies any less important, nor the need to maintain academic integrity any less important. What a great sense of achievement I have when I complete an assignment and I know that I just achieved the goal of not only completing that assignment but knowing that I did it
