In our world, what is morally and ethically acceptable for one man may not be the same viewpoint held by another man.

The likelihood of a for-profit organization practicing poor ethics is generally higher than that of a not-for-profit organization. Not-for-profit organizations serve our communities and countries in some way with an emphasis on bettering society,…

PASSION: Why am I here? As a child I was always attracted to the smaller, weakened animal I found in my yard, i.e. dying birds, kittens, bugs, etc. The animals we owned were never neutered which resulted in a numerous amount of puppies and kittens. I was intrigued by the cycle of life. Originally I wanted to become a veterinarian. The financial strain on my family made it apparent that it would not be possible. As fate would have it, there was a two year waiting list for nursing school, but I was readily accepted into a two year respiratory program. At the end of the respiratory program, I stayed for one more year to specialize in NICU.…
Ethics are developed at all stages within a company from the first time you hire an employee up until the company releases an IPO and goes public. The first step to ethical behavior occurs when you are conducting a strategic plan. The company has to realize the role of ethics and social responsibility to implement a positive plan. Ethics have a lot to do with the company’s vision and how they perceive themselves within the marketplace.

While all three “corners” of the ethics triangle are important, I would recognize the teleological aspect of any ethical analysis as the most influential. That being the case, and with the hopes of maintaining order, I would choose to be guided strictly by principle if I was only able to consider one aspect of the triangle. I would assume most would select “consequences” as the guiding principle of their actions. Being guided exclusively by potential consequences could propel a perpetual drift in policy, government, regulation, and law. While we regularly make adjustments in these areas they are consciously determined and merely incremental. If we were to regularly disregard the founding principles and guidelines of a government or its charter,…
