Week 8 discussion question and answer Some people believe that you can tell who a person is by what they do when no one is looking. Let's look at the following case. John Doe, a nurse, has downloaded an application to her phone that allows him to download copyrighted textbooks for a nursing course (that Doe is going to take) without his Internet Service Provider knowing it. The application is called "Cloak" as in cloak of invisibility (a hooded coat one wears to make it so others cannot see you). The application disguises his phone and makes it so the information on it is inaccessible. John is aware that other people who are of a lower socio-economic status (like him) also use this software program for the same reason (and to save money). John Doe knows that his religion forbids him from using this application to download in this manner. John Doe is focused on his own economic situation and does not consider the publisher, author, and others involved in the books. Think about a course of social action; what social values should be used to address this moral issue and conflict. • Initial Post Instructions Create a personal ethical philosophy and explain from which philosophy or philosophies (it must include at least one of the following: virtue ethics, Kantian ethics, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, or social contract ethics) you created it and why the contents are important and meaningful for you. List its precepts. • Take your personal ethical philosophy statement and use it to work through John Doe's case. What is moral and immoral per your theory? • How would the veil of ignorance or a different theory of justice address John Doe's case? Discussion answer My ethical philosophy is always to ensure that whatever I do does not cause pain or harm to other people. I believe that people are always answerable for their actions at all times and in all places. I think that the noble thing to do always Is the right thing even if nobody is watching. Like my philosophy, Week 8 discussion question and answer Kantian ethics focuses on the fact that people should always adhere to what is required of them at all costs, which brings about professionalism (Kranak, 2019). Kantian ethics on the duties of an individual concerning what is right or wrong. The right actions are those actions that we are required to do, while the wrong ones are those actions that we should never do even if they cause no harm. As for the case of John Doe, my philosophy condemns his actions in the strongest terms possible. Although I know that I disagree with Doe, I need to also realize that everyone thinks like me .Considering that nurses should conduct themselves with the highest levels of professionalism, he downloads copyrighted textbooks without the consent of the original authors or the publishers of such books. His actions are morally unacceptable, and it goes against my philosophy which requires an individual to conduct themselves in a morally acceptable manner and always do what is right. According to Rachel J, (2019), “ Moral philosophy is the study of what morality is and what it requires of us”. In John Doe case , even though he knew his actions were wrong, he focused on the good by claiming that other people also have the same software which works well for them. Even if he was aware of the consequences, he ignored them and continued to access the copyrighted books, which he believes will make him pass. Apa format RUNNING HEAD IS REQUIRED read the first scenario then follow directions In this session, you have been considering moral-ethical dilemmas you yourself faced or that you know of that you either resolved or failed to resolve, but hopefully learned from. You may never have given much thought to ethical theory nor what ethical premises/paradigms you have unconsciously held. You will be focusing on this case for this assignment: Jane Doe is a nursing student at University X. Jane is in week eight of a course entitled: "Introduction to Ethics". For the week one discussion, Jane copied work done by her friend John Doe in the same class two months ago (with a different professor). John told Jane it was okay to use his work as John's professor never checked any work in the class using Turnitin.com. John claimed to have earned an A on the work also. In week four, Jane relied on her knowledge of Esperanto. She felt pressed for time and found an article by a professor from Esperanto on the week four topic. She translated Esperanto into English using Google Translate, and the translated text served as her week four paper. In week five, Jane was running late again. Jane purposely uploaded a blank paper hoping that she would later claim it was an innocent mistake and not be assessed a late penalty. In a previous course on History, she had done the same (with an earlier paper from the History class rather than simply a blank) and had not seen any late penalty assessed. In week six, Jane took work she did in a nursing course from a year ago and submitted that for her discussion posting in her current class. She simply copied and pasted the work she had labored intensively on a year ago (even though University X forbids this practice as 'self-plagiarism'). Jane was confident her Nursing instructor never checked that work using Turnitin.com or another method. In week seven, Jane copied, and pasted work found on website.com for the paper. Jane did not use any quotation marks or other documentation to show the text was not by Jane. Since Jane's Ethics professor did not check papers and posting for any issues by using Turnitin.com or another method, the professor graded all of Jane's work unaware of Jane's actions throughout the weeks of the class. Jane feels her actions are morally justified both because her economic situation requires her to work too much to devote time to school (although other students are well-off enough to have such time) and her religion forbids cheating, but Jane ignores her religion's teachings. Instructions Now that you have had an opportunity to explore ethics formally, create a reflective assessment of your learning experience and the collaborations you engaged in throughout this session. You will submit the following: For the written reflection, address Jane Doe's and respond to the following: • Articulate again your moral theory from week eight discussion (You can revise it if you wish). What two ethical theories best apply to it? Why those two? • Apply to Jane Doe's case your personal moral philosophy as developed in week eight discussion and now. Use it to determine if what Jane Doe did was ethical or unethical per your own moral philosophy. Apa format RUNNING HEAD IS REQUIRED read the first scenario then follow directions • Consider if some of these examples are more grave instances of ethical transgressions than others. Explain. Propose a course of social action and a solution by using the ethics of egoism, utilitarianism, the "veil of ignorance" method, deontological principles, and/or a theory of justice to deal with students like Jane. Consider social values such as those concerning ways of life while appraising the interests of diverse populations (for instance, those of differing religions and economic status). • • • • • • • Length: 3-4 pages (not including title page or references page) 1-inch margins Double spaced 12-point Times New Roman font Title page References page (minimum of 2 scholarly sources)
