The personal values that help contribute to my worldview and philosophy of nursing that is most important, is my religion. I am a Christian and this means that I am to be Christ like in my every day life and work. I am taught to treat others as I would want to be treated and care for them as I would do for myself. I am to help the sick, wounded, poor and widowed. Nursing in its roots are very much the same thing. Helping the ones who are unable to help themself. The underlying rule for nurses is to do no harm. My spiritual vales shape who I am, what I am and what I do. If I do all things as if I were doing them to the glory of God, then I know all things would turn out right. When obeying God and his commands, my spiritual values teach me that all things work to the good of God and according to his purpose.…
Gattaca is directed by Andrew Niccol and the film is set out in the "not too distant future." Andrew Niccol's perspective of the future isn't what most people expect but once thought about thoroughly it surely seems quite possible. This movie presents us with a new method in which society strives for perfection and it also makes the audience wonder if genetic engineering is morally correct. The social hierarchy system in Gattaca is based on your genetic makeup and the way you were born. People born the way we know as natural are "in-valids"; on the other hand people born with the assistance of genetic engineering are "valids." An "in-valid" has his future set out to be a cleaner or other insignificant job in society which doesn't require an education. A new form of prejudice has been raised into debate which is the idea of having superior or inferior genes.…

One of the most difficult trials I face in my life are ethical and moral dilemmas. An ethical dilemma is more consistent with my everyday life than a moral dilemma. Ethical dilemma is defined as situations in which there is a choice to be made between two options, neither of which resolves the situation in an ethically acceptable fashion. Every day I am faced with decisions of right and wrong most of which are easily and correctly dealt with. Sometimes decisions need to be made that are not easy or clear, however they require thought and often prayer.…
If only it was easy enough to determine which is the right way to find the right ethical path as it is cleaning a mirror. Throughout life, we are constantly making decisions about everything. The decisions we make can be rooted from the values we hold dear to ourselves. Not only does our conscience enable us to think about our decisions, but ethics brings our thoughts to life and influences our behaviors. Therefore, ethics is said to be the set of glasses through which you view the world.…
Throughout history law enforcement officers have been given the power and responsibility to use discretion while preforming their assigned duties. In early history, law enforcement officers were given a lot of discretion, where as now, they do not. Many laws have restricted officer discretion because of abuse. There are many different scenarios when and how an officer can use discretion and as well as how much discretion they are able to use, depending on the situation. Furthermore, in some cases for example, the use of traffic speed cameras or intersection cameras can issue tickets to unaware motorists where an actual police officer may be able to use discretion, common sense and reasoning before issuing a ticket. Discretionary decision-making is a part of officer’s duties each and every day that he or she has their uniform on. It is essential to allow officers the ability to make these kinds of decisions, but also restrict it as not to allow corruption or situations to get out of control. Officer discretion often comes under scrutiny because of unequal treatment by officers towards citizens.…

The ethical responsibilities a person should uphold to those they are in a direct relationship with, specifically the environment, is to act in consideration of its value as an ecological conscience and to not take the land for granted in terms of its value from a philosophical standpoint due to the principles of the land ethic. In accordance to this, Aldo Leopold's land ethic largely supports the land as an entity and suggests the proper and ethical way the land and its non-human elements such as animals should be treated with equal consideration to that of human beings. The land ethic is “... a community [that] is the basic concept of ecology, [and] that land is to be loved and respected [which] is an extension of ethics”(Leopold).…
