I was also faced by the desire to expose my colleague for what she was; meaning that reaching out to the management would have been significant before she took office. Moreover, I would also approach her and tell her off, to see what she was capable of doing (Johnson, 2001), or whether she could open up and provide her reasons towards her bullying behavior
Nevertheless, in the education field, one is at risk of encountering numerous ethical issues related to competence, respect, confidentiality, conflict of interest and many others. Although not all ethical issues become ethical dilemma, in education context, some of them have the capacity to create potential dilemmas (McMahon, 2007)
The comments of a former Edwards' supporter illustrate the gravity of his misconduct. Instead of giving her typical contributions to charities every year such as an organization that feeds low-income families and another that rescues abandoned animals, she chose to give the money to Edwards' campaign in '07 and '08 (Henneberger, 2009)
" (Schwartz, Ross, and Francescani, 2008). Today, Edwards is now the subject of a federal grand jury investigation which is looking at whether there were false reports in how funds from Edwards' campaign or one of these groups were spent, whether any money was passed from the recipient to Hunter, and whether any campaign or nonprofit money was spent on providing a personal benefit (MacGillis, 2009)
These authors state that the name of the child's father is left off the birth certificate. Edwards claims to have ended the relationship with Hunter long before there would have been the possibility that the child could be his (Neuman, 2009)
While his adultery at a time when his wife Elizabeth was stricken with cancer is bad enough, the situation surrounding political actions committee funds paid to Hunter and the misuse of additional funds in an attempted cover up of fathering Hunter's child are inexcusable. Edwards met Hunter in 2006 and his political action committee paid her $114,000 to produce campaign website documentaries despite her lack of experience (Schwartz, Ross, and Francescani, 2008)
End-Based Ethics- Also known as utilitarianism, end-based ethics has one deciding to do whatever provides the greatest good for the greatest number by predicting the consequences of different actions. If utilitarianism holds that the most ethical thing that can happen is the action that maximizes the happiness or good for society then actions have quantitative outcomes and the decisions that go into "the greatest good for the greatest number" are appropriate, even if that means reducing the rights or happiness of some (Troyer, 2003)
those of teachers, and also the problems related to economic issues (which may or may not correlate with issues of race as well. Meanwhile, Alderson and Goodey also consider special education from the standpoint of specifically medical ethics, claiming that "the relationship between medical and educational approaches to children with disabilities and other difficulties has a long history" in which "the educational profession has veered between optimistic, often successful experiments in teaching such children, and disclaiming responsibility for many of them as 'ineducable'," while "the medical profession has…a parsimonious view of their developmental potential" (Alderson and Goodey 1998, 49)
They begin with a set of four specific scenarios which they note are "familiar to most rural special educators (and we expect to special educators in other settings as well)" (5). These include a 14-year-old girl with "moderate mental retardation" subject to a state mandated transfer to a regional facility focusing on children with disabilities (requiring a one-hour bus ride and potential alienation from the community in which she resides which might grant "access to community-based training opportunities"); lawsuits involving such regional centers which "will limit opportunities for school and community integration"; a regional center which lumps together "five students who are deaf, three students with moderate mental retardation, two students with autism, two students who have visual impairments and some intellectual impairment, and three students with dyslexia…between nine and eleven years of age…re-assigned to a school in which they will all be educated together" (Berkeley and Ludlow 2008, 4-5)
A number of ethical difficulties arise from this procedure, particularly when the needs of the individual child have to be evaluated in conjunction with those of his teachers and his classmates, and economic factors may also have to be considered. (Black and Subotsky 1982, 7)
Obvious legal and ethical issues prevent attempts at separating the influence of each event experimentally. (Coleman 1983, 4)
v. Riles case in 1979 would hinge on the "overrepresentation of minority children in Educable Mentally Retarded classes in the San Francisco public schools" found to be "due to educational practices, including teacher bias" (Connor and Ferri 2005, 108)
Kelly writes to address the general question of ethical behavior in special education overall, noting that "the motives and ethics of many special education teachers are often suspect," due to the readily available federal funding which makes special education subject to the same political attacks and wild accusiations of socialism that adhere to any social welfare program for any disadvantaged group whatsoever. But he concludes that the profession requires a formal "operative code of ethics" to avoid disparities (Kelly 1979, 293)
However, they would like to receive subsidies to supplement their meager incomes, and the general public may be more willing to aid the retarded than the poor. (Rose-Ackerman 1982, 91)
In state after state, disproportionately high numbers of African-American children were misidentified for special education programs. (Talbert-Johnson 2001, 289) Talbert-Johnson seems to conclude here that it is the overall lower quality of services provided to minority groups such as African-Americans or Latinos that is to account for their additional sloppy service from special education professionals as well
In this way, the public (or in this case, Jane) can weigh any bias, prejudice or self-centered motivations the other team members may have in airing these complaints. According to Wallace, concealing the identity of the source material would be unethical (Enos, 1997; Johannesen, 2001)
Premeaux's study also included open ended questions regarding why managers responded the way they did which added depth to the study and substantiated his findings. Other ethicists conclude similarly that utilitarianism in its manifestations represent a major if not the most important ethical framework for business decision makers (Audi, 2009)
285). Moreover, recent corporate scandals in America such as Enron, Worldcom, and Martha Stewart have increased public concern for ethical business activities (Byrne, 2002)
Stakeholder theory provides a conceptual framework for understanding the relationships between various interests of the organization. It thus serves as a framework for organizations to understand their relationships with consumers if it can be established that they represent stakeholders whose interests and actions are critical for the sustainable success of the firm Ethical Theories Stakeholder theory is essentially normative in nature (Donaldson & Preston, 1995)
405). However, Stieb's charge is unsubstantiated by an examination of Freeman's own writing (Freeman & Phillips, 2002)
