This case was based on George Tenet and the decisions he made within the CIA, successful and unsuccessful. Tenet served under the Clinton and Bush administrations from 1997-2004. During the Clinton administration, his main focus was to rebuild the CIA from its lack of morale and budget issues. Surprisingly (in my opinion because of his lack of experience), he was successful in the beginning process of rebuilding. Unfortunately for him, after Bush was elected the 9/11 attacks happened and his success started to decline. The decisions he made during the Bush administration and his lack of focus led to the demise of the DCI and the weakening of the CIA. I think his popularity during the Clinton administration got to his head and he just got sloppy during the Bush administration, but his decisions tremendously affected the way CIA is run today.…
The case study presented is a young immigrant couple striving to better their lives in a country of opportunity. This couple has endured a hard-working life style to begin a new life as a young married couple in their own home. The problem that they encounter is that the young wife discovers she is pregnant, which may have been a joyous surprise to the couple, but an ultrasound revealed that the fetus has an abnormality of the absence of bilateral arm development and a 25% chance that the fetus may have Down syndrome. The dilemma is how the physician and young couple and family have differing beliefs of what it means to be human.…
When we speak of “Morality” we think of the difference between right and wrong, the difference between the good and the evil. We use morality to justify our actions and decisions. More often than not, people impose their morality on others and expect them to act in the way they find fit. They believe that the idea of right and wrong is universal. In her essay “On Morality”, Didion contradicts this theory and believes that everyone can have different ideas of morality based on their own perception.…
1. Integrity is honor to oneself which usually means doing the right thing and is similar to morals, a conscience, and principles. People can have different morals from their religion or the way they were raised but everyone’s principles are usually very similar. Some can keep their integrity by volunteering or donating. Overall, integrity is when someone knows they’re ethically doing the right thing which usually makes them feel good and raises self-esteem.…
In the general orders or in the personnel manual of virtually every police organization there is language about “ethics” and “integrity.” But what exactly does that mean? Ethics is an easy word to throw around and yet very hard to define. “Police officers are held to a higher standard than the general public, both on and off duty, but do we really understand why that is and how an organization can be confident that its employees always act with integrity? There are just a few thoughts for all law enforcement personnel to ponder, from the chief executive to the newest recruit.” (Sgt. Smith)…
What they carried themselves with dignity, poise, and a kind of moral; a moral that has been tainted throughout life going against their own ideals of what is right and acceptable. For if a person’s life continuously seems to be filled with morals, without a moral less action, do not believe them. ‘Morals’ is defined as a person’s standard of behaviors or beliefs of what is and what is not acceptable for them to do. Whether in a situation of which a person’s life is in jeopardy, the way they were raised, hardships, or just the person’s origin, people’s “standard of behaviors” change from person to person. Being a research on human emotions, I looked into what exactly affects and determines a person’s morals.…
The most important values are honesty and integrity. Honesty and integrity go hand and hand, and should remain a vital part of our everyday lives. Without honesty there is no integrity. Integrity is doing the right thing whether you are in a group or completely alone; in other words, doing the right thing, all of the time, even if no one is watching. Integrity is vitally important when one is working in the Criminal Justice field. It is an essential value for police officers, judges and administrative professionals to maintain even if they are trying to fit into the subculture of law enforcement. Much corruption in police departments has been the result of officers compromising integrity.…
Even though living in pain can be a physical and emotional toll on a person’s life, no one can judge or comment on it without knowing how it feels, but choosing to end your life for this cause is ethically wrong. A person should not be able to choose between life and death like it is something normal that we do every day. Dying is not the answer to a person’s problems, pains, or sufferings. Now a day technology and medicine are highly advanced and can cure or reduce the pain of a person with a disease. Choosing to end your life is basically committing suicide and suicide is wrong.…
Merriam-Webster dictionary defines integrity as, firm adherence to a code of especially moral or artistic values: incorruptibility; the quality or state of being complete or undivided. Although this is correct this isn’t exactly the complete meaning of this word. For every situation, every job, and every position this word “integrity” is defined differently. The position at which I am applying for is an Administrative Assistant, with this comes great responsibility, handling and having access to sensitive information any candidate must possess some level of morals and values. In my previous positions as a bank teller I’ve come in contact with highly valuable information from social security numbers to endless financial details not to mention large amounts of money. And I can attest to the fact that none of that irreplaceable information was ever mishandled or compromised, not just because it was my job or duty but out of respect not only for myself but for those that would be affected. If there isn’t one thing I’ve learned so far in life, I’ve learned that every decision made has a monopoly affect whether the outcome is good or bad. Integrity is having the ability to be selfless, being confident in yourself that you can make decisions that will not only affect you but staff, the company brand and customers.…
1. Two preliminary steps taken, that may be necessary, before one can intuitively appreciate the rightness of an action are thinking fully about the consequences of an action. In other words, think before you act. Also give thought (consideration) to the persons involved in said action or your relation(ship) with the persons involved.…
The role of ethics is important to the criminal justice system as well as the government because it helps maintains social control and crime control. Over time the role of ethics has adapted in every aspect of the criminal justice system. Without the role of ethics there would be corruption; the law would have little meaning because its application would be undependable (citation.) The criminal justice system, which works along with the government, has a great impact of how people treat each other, therefore the role of ethics is not only important for the law but for society as well. Of course there are differences in ethics; depending on certain occupations ones ethics will vary, but the overall role of ethics is to “develop personal qualities such as: courage, honesty, confidentiality, law-abiding behavior reproach and exemplary in nature” (cite 3.) It is important for our defense attorneys, police officers, and judges to practice the role of ethics to maintain a stable criminal justice system.…
First of all, people may ask, "What are morals, character, and integrity," but they should know that they are mainly the same thing. Character means moral or ethical strength, or as H. Jackson Browne once said, "Our character is what we do when we think no one is looking." John Wooden said that everyone should, "Be more concerned with your character than your reputation because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." Morals are rules or habits of conduct with reference of standards of right and wrong. Socrates once said, "Moral philosophy is hard thought about right action." Paul Tillich stated that, "Morality is not a subject, it is a life put to the test in dozens of moments." Integrity is the rigid adherence to a code or standard of values. Denis Waitly said," integrity is what we do, what we say, and what we say we do." A doctor named Dr. Laura stated, "integrity effects you by either being honest or not. If you are honest, then you have integrity. People who say that they are going to do something do it." You can now see that character, morals, and integrity are very important.…
Respect has great importance in everyday life. As children we are taught to respect our parents, teachers, and elders, family and cultural traditions, other people's feelings, our country's flag and leaders. And we do tend to value these things; when we grow older, we may shake our heads at people who seem not to have learned to respect them. We develop the tendency to respect only those who are popular. We may also come to believe that, at some level, all people are worthy of respect. We may learn that jobs and relationships become unbearable if we receive no respect in them. Calls to respect certain things are increasingly part of public life: environmentalists exhort us to respect nature, foes of abortion and capital punishment insist on respect for human life, members of racial and ethnic minorities and those discriminated against because of their gender, sexual orientation, age, religious beliefs, or economic status demand respect both as social and moral equals and for their cultural differences. We may learn both that our lives together go better when we respect the things that deserve to be respected and that we should respect some things independently of considerations of how our lives would go.…
Chapter 1 identified knowledge of workers as a key economic resource of the twenty first century. If an employee leaves a company to work for a competitor, what types of knowledge would be ethical for the employee to share with the new employer and what types of knowledge would be unethical to share?…
