Nutritional well-being plays an essential role in the overall health, independence, and quality of life of older persons as well as disabled persons. This nation has a responsibility to at risk populations such as the elderly. Today, there are close to 6 million seniors in the United States facing the threat of hunger. Some of these citizens were raised during the Great Depression, they went on to protect our independence in the Second World War and won the cold war. America's older citizens have been called the greatest generation by many. It is morally wrong that the citizens that built this country should suffer starvation in this land of plenty, which they helped to form. Our country prides itself on taking care of other countries but tend to ignore the needs of its own citizens. We would much rather spend our money overseas to help a child in need than to reach out to our elderly or disabled neighbors and give them a hand.…

I would remain truthful to myself and of my obligations and responsibilities as an officer. I would take full accountability of policies and procedures that’s followed with the duties of my position. Although my partner didn’t take the responsibility by following the rules of contacting the teenagers’ parents or video tapping the interrogation questioning, I would have to think logical about the actions I should take to fix this problem. Do to the fact my partner and I worked as a team to pick up the two gang members, I probably would be left with either two options. I would either take the blame along with my partner, or acknowledge the actions that my co-worker chose to do in handling the case.…
Alcoholism is an addiction/disease that may start out just by drinking with friends on the weekends socially. The general alcoholic is one whom starts drinking socially and then recognizes that they are unable to stop like some of their friends. Eventually they begin to develop a tolerance and have to actually drink more to feel the same feelings the felt before. Once they realize they are becoming an alcoholic is when they actually start drinking alone or think that they have to drink just to study for tests. The disease/addiction is telling them they have to study under the influence because the definitely don't make better grades by studying. Most of the time these alcoholics are in denial and it takes something “bad” happening before they realize they have a problem.…
According to Labor values every business should respect their employee in the best way, and they should handle their issue with respect and in an appropriate manner. Ethics is rules that are intended to direct employers in performing what is right and what is fair towards its employees. Employment standards expect every executive of any company or firm to treat its stakeholders as well as employees within the set standards. This applies to the entire community.

Ethics is destined to guarantee that the manager does not misuse employees by taking advantage them (Perle, 2004).…

Every organization has a standard or code of ethics every employee is expected to adhere to. Not everyone within an organization share the same moral values or principles, this is due to cultural differences and understanding ethics competency. Ethics competency is described as the knowledge, skills and abilities to incorporate values and principals that distinguish right from wrong when making decisions and choosing behaviors ( Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011p.10). How one determines right from wrong is based on their personal beliefs but behavior and conduct within an organization should be universal, in order for an organization to be effective. Ethical issues within an organization is common because of personal differences , these ethical issues influence the decisions employees make daily (Hellriegel & Slocum, 2011).
