What is an ethics committee, specifically within the health industry?
Q. What is the procedure for making a complaint to an ethics commitee? What types of complaints would they recieve, and what would be a possible example of their power to act on a complaint?
Asked by verucha - Sun Mar 9 07:45:17 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. You are not going to receive a single, all-encompassing answer, simply because one doesn't exist. Ethics committees do not all exist under the same set of rules or procedures. An example under one ethics committee may not apply to another ethics committee. For a precise answer, you will need to consult the rules and procedures of the particular ethics committee you're interested in.

How to develop an ethics program for a small business?
Q. I need to develop an ethics program for a business of about 20 employees for a project for school. Could anyone point me in the direction of some websites or books with examples. We don't have a text for the class which makes it a little harder. Thanks!

A. Hi, to develop an ethics program is often about defining the values by which an organization should live by; say: truth, courage, compassion, and other values like that. Your ethics program should get everyone on the same page about what it means to be ethical in running the company. You can read a little more about ethics in leadership from my website here: and I have actually created an exercise on Values Definition which you can check out here:

How are the work ethics in Canada comparable to those in the United States?
Q. I'm considering relocating to Canada (British Columbia) and am wondering about what the work ethics are like in Canada, in general. Obviously, businesses in the United States overwork their employees resulting in less sleep, more health problems, etc. Is it the same in Canada or better?

Ethics and Mortgage Lending: What do you think is important?
Q. If you had a chance to tell mortgage brokers, originators, lenders, and other professionals what you consider unethical, what would you tell them? I am preparing a class on Ethics that will be offered to mortgage professionals throughout the country, and would like some additional input. We have the framework of the class, but I'd like to hear what ideas customers and other lending professionals might have that could be included. Is there anything you want them to be sure to hear and discuss? Any specific examples of ethical or unethical behavior? Anything else you think should be covered?
Asked by CJKatl - Sun Mar 9 10:36:05 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. They are obliged by morality to treat each case individually. Quite often, due to the rigid evaluation process of credit worthiness of the borrower, many good people are rejected. They may have full intention, and a strong sense of commitment, when they go to a bank to borrow for their home but quite often they are left out in the cold. No consideration is given to them simply because they may fail to meet one or two simple and minor requirements. The lenders have that ethical obligation to re-evaluate such hardship cases and make exceptions. This can only happen when they apply the human touch to lending practise instead of behaving like robots, who are too quick to cover their butt, rather than help build communities.

What is Feminist ethics? Identify three issues that are some of the concerns of feminist ethics?

Asked by Rami - Sun Jun 7 15:47:14 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Feminist ethics is the radical notion that women are equal to men. Well, women have been historically perceived as non-rational, highly emotional individuals. It is necessary to critique things from a feminist perspective because men have established the structures of multiple societies. Consider America, "all men are created equal," just some wear shackles, and men really means "men;" women couldn't vote. Look at businesses, executive offices, etc. All are predominately run by men. Who knows what your question wants specifically though.

A. A contractual agreement is one that parties enter into freely and sign stating they intend to abide by all stipulations in the agreement. The Bill of Rights is what the US government states every citizen is entitled to under it's laws. The Ten Commandments are a set of rules and standards which address how people should live in order to have a society that can survive without total chaos. It is also believed that these commandments are the actual laws of God. A Code of Ethics is something which is drawn up to uphold law and order for positions of authority. Example, Doctors, Lawyers, Government Officials and so on. There is no signing an agreement on this code. It exists by law and must be followed by certain people in Authority in order… [cont.]

Q. What is the difference between general normative ethics and applied normative ethics?
Asked by matt - Mon Jan 25 13:41:33 2010 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Normative ethics is the branch of philosophical ethics that investigates the set of questions that arise when we think about the question how ought one act, morally speaking? Normative ethics is distinct from meta-ethics because it examines standards for the rightness and wrongness of actions, while meta-ethics studies the meaning of moral language and the metaphysics of moral facts. Normative ethics is also distinct from descriptive ethics, as the latter is an empirical investigation of people s moral beliefs. To put it another way, descriptive ethics would be concerned with determining what proportion of people believe that killing is always wrong, while normative ethics is concerned with whether it is correct to hold such a belief.… [cont.]

A. How long do you have, do you know the question? If not then allow 60-75% of the time for actually writing. Time yourself on how fast you write - you need to score points so each sentence must earn its keep. Once you have decided how many words you can write in the time then that will allow you to calculate roughly how many lines you can write. Look at your essays - how many paragraphs is that? So you have Intro, para 1 ... para n-2, conclusion where n is the number of paragraphs you can write. You may have certain things you need to consider in most essays - I haven't done your course so I don't know - you may be able to pencil these into your plan. Hope this helps

How does environmental ethics help the environment?
Q. In a philosophical reasoning, why is it key to have environmental ethics?
Asked by blah32001 - Mon Sep 17 19:57:20 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Environmental ethics are meaningless. That which affects the environment is a global issues. We have no control over what others do with the environment. If someone pollutes the water in the US, it can be felt in Canada and Mexico as well as where ever the water or air takes the contaminant. Until we address poverty, people of the world will do whatever is necessary to survive and make money -- including damaging our environment. Environmental ethics are also racist in their application -- but that is another issue. Telling a developing nation that they cannot do as we have done is a sure way to ensure that they don't achieve and remain at our mercy and in poverty.
