  7. A Litmus Test for Making Ethical Decisions at Work http://www.triplepundit.com/2010/08/ethical-decisions-at-work-deloitte/ By: Abdullah Telmesani, PhD While evaluating tenders from various suppliers, John noticed how close the bids were in terms of prices and quality. During this period of evaluation, John met a friend who informed him indirectly that one of the suppliers was willing to pay for a personal trip for him and his family if he overlooked one of the conditions that this supplier did not satisfy. John faced a dilemma in making a decision to award the contract to the supplier related to his friend. Overlooking the condition of this supplier would not affect his company negatively, and no one would even notice it. In trying to arrive at a decision, John followed the two-level-Ethical-Toolkit-test as follows:

  8. 1-    The Internal Test: In this test, John checked his gut feeling about awarding the contract to this company. Doing that, he realized that he felt uncomfortable about it; however, knowing that awarding the contract to this company would not affect his company negatively, made him feel more comfortable about awarding the contract to that specific supplier. In order to arrive at the right decision, John followed the second step of the test. 2-     The Disclosure Test: In applying this step of the test, John looked at whether he would feel good about letting his colleagues, his family, and others know about the basis for awarding the contract to this supplier. Thinking about that made it very clear to him that awarding the contract to this supplier would not be ethical, since he would not be comfortable with letting others know about the real basis for awarding this contract to this supplier. The above Tool-Kit can be used by employees and employers at all levels. It can also be a useful guide, or exercise, for board members and executive committees in clarifying the ethical bases for executive choices.

  14. Ethics is important & basic . . . Conflicts of Interest Contradictions See web site notes . . .

  15. Treasury Board of Canada Derived from the Greek word “ethos”, which means “way of living”, ethics is a branch of philosophy that is concerned with human conduct, more specifically the behaviour of individuals in society. Ethics examines the rational justification for our moral judgments; it studies what is morally right or wrong, just or unjust.

  16. Definitions help Also – Your personal concepts of success, happiness, values, goals . . . Who you are, Why you exist Many things shape your personal ethics Life like a series of semi-transparent screens

  17. Your family, friends, colleagues, associations, and community also shape your ethical being. My Mom said . . . . Others set examples for you . . . Not just tolerance – but understanding and acceptance Be informed, aware, involved in your society & community so you can make a difference.

  18. Ethics, also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that addresses questions about morality — that is, concepts such as: good and evil, right and wrong, virtue and vice, justice and crime.

  22. The Iron Ring The Iron Ring is a symbol that distinctly identifies engineers in Canada. It is important to understand that not every obligated engineer in Canada has a professional engineering licence, and not every professional engineer has an Iron Ring on his/her little finger.

  23. The Iron Ring is a Canadian engineering tradition. It was started by seven past-presidents of the Engineering Institute of Canada in 1922. The Ring is given as part of “The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer". The Ring is worn on the little finger of the working hand.

  27. The Ritual of the Calling of an Engineer is the ceremony where Iron Rings are given to engineers who choose to obligate themselves to the highest professionalism and humility of their profession. The ritual ceremonies are strictly private affairs. No publicity is allowed. Only obligated engineers are invited to attend, as well as engineers that are being obligated.

The opposite of truth is falsehood, which, correspondingly, can also take on a logical, factual, or ethical meaning. Many human activities depend upon the concept, which is assumed rather than a subject of discussion, including science, law, and everyday life.

Ethics, also known as moral philosophy, is a branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. The term comes from the Greek word ethos, which means "character". In philosophy, ethics studies the moral behavior in humans, and how one should act.

USA Constitution - Second Amendment There are several versions of the text of the Second Amendment, each with slight capitalization and punctuation differences, found in the official documents surrounding the adoption of the Bill of Rights. One version was passed by the Congress, while another is found in the copies distributed to the States and then ratified by them. As passed by the Congress: A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed. As ratified by the States and authenticated by Thomas Jefferson, Secretary of State: A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. The Second Amendment is the only amendment to the Constitution which states a purpose.

  45. Am I Right? How to live ethically. by Arthur Dobrin Ethics Training Isn't Useful When Taught By Lawyers Law should reflect ethics, not the other way round. Published on December 18, 2012 by Arthur Dobrin, D.S.W. in Am I Right? In the wake of the General David Petraeus scandal, the Pentagon has reviewed its ethics training and recommends that training should start earlier and continued to be reinforced through an officer’s career. In all likelihood, the Pentagon’s legal counsel will lead the training, as it usually does. And therein lies a problem. Lawyers aren’t very good as ethics teachers. (And this has nothing to do with the many lawyer jokes that just popped into your head.) The problem is that ethics isn’t the same as the law, but ethics regulations and ethics training often conflate the two. Making matters worse, when ethics and law are bundled together, legal considerations almost always trump ethical decisions. Better to be unethical and not be sued than be ethical and open yourself to liability.
