Can you provide an example of a value conflict to which you were recently exposed?
I have been against kids watching too much TV and youtube.I have never believed that watching a screen for a long time can benefit them in any shape, way or form.Then I married my wife who is from Peru, and we live a third country which is the US.Both my wife and I wanted our kids to speak our native language, so letting them to watch TV for even longer periods have proved to be beneficial in this regard.The way we made it work is when my kids spend more time with my wife for my work schedule then they watch cartoons or films in Hungarian. When they spend more time with me due to my wife’s work schedule then they watch films in Spanish.My biggest daughter speaks all three languages fluently with no accent and my little one speak both Hungarian and Spanish. She will pick up English in school.So basically I faced a conflict of values and I gave up one for the other one that provides a much bigger benefit.
What are the links between laws, values, morals, and ethics?
Values inform ethics and morals, which in turn guide what laws are promulgated.Bear in mind my understanding is somewhat tainted by having once been a Lincoln-Douglas debater… but here is my understanding.Values are grand ideas, words with fuzzy meaning that we believe should be aspired to, like Justice, Liberty, Autonomy, Safety, Life. We tend to rank our values in a heirarchy, where one, such as Equality or Self-Determination, reigns supreme, with all others cascading down in order of priority. We like lower tiered values and will support them, but where the lower value clashes with a higher ranked value, it is overridden. This is largely a subconscious practice but if you really watch what people say and how they say it in a heated political or moral argument you can gauge where various values probably rank in their minds.“Ethics” for me is going to be confined to normative ethics - what happens when lofty ideals - values - collide with real world situations. While morality is in some respects distinct from ethics in that morality tends to be couched in religious terms whereas ethics is more philosophical and open to secular non-religious analysis, in function it seems to serve the same purpose as ethics, which is to determine what the “right” action is in a given situation. So once you have your values in line, you create a framework Ethics or Morals to apply those values to real world or hypothetical situations.So now that you have Values and the Ethical framework for applying them… you need to implement them. We do this by creating a minimum level of acceptable conduct through laws. We value Life; applied to real world situations we would say killing is a violation of a person's Life and is therefore unethical. So we pass a law calling such behavior “murder” and telling everyone not to do this. We value Self-Determination; we see that owning a person in perpetuity as property is a violation of that value, so we deem that unethical and pass a law prohibiting slavery. While laws don't, and arguably can't, absolutely ensure ethical conduct, they are informed by our ethics and values.This is, in my mind, how Values, Ethics/Morals, and Law interrelate.
What should you do if your personal values conflict with professional values?
oooo good question....I worked retail so it would be hard for me to imagine that happening in my line of work....It would really depend on how deep set your personal values were and how important your profession was to you. Weigh in your mind if you could live with yourself if you did something outside of your moral core. Could you find a profession that wouldn't ask you to do such things. It's kind of hard to make a determination without knowing what kind of value conflict there is.
Medical Ethics questions?
I think you'd be better off asking your fellow students for help with your homework.
How do your personal values in social work conflict with the code of ethics?
Short answer is: they don't. The NASW code of ethics for social work identify core values (broad ethical principals) of service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, integrity and competence. The specific ethical responsibilities include: commitment to clients, self determination, informed consent, and cultural competency. You can read the entire NASW code of ethics online Code of Ethics (English and Spanish) It's kind of difficult to argue against any of those things, not just for social workers but anyone in human services/helping professions. If we can't respect the dignity and worth of our clients and people in general, if we have no desire to serve, we shouldn't be social workers. A great deal of formal education is devoted to teaching social work students the difference between morals, values, and ethics, as well as challenging them to confront their own prejudices and biases. I am hard-pressed to come up with a personal value that I could have that would conflict with the code of ethics. As one of my professors said, "There's no place for your 'isms' in social work." In other words, there's no room for racism, sexism, heterosexism (homophobia), ageism, or any prejudice in social work. My calling is to help people, I don't get to decide if the person that walks into my office needing help is Muslim, or transgender, or African American, or gay, geriatric, from another country than mine, a convicted felon, etc. I'm sure there are faith-based organizations that employ social workers that do discriminate, but that is expressly against the code of ethics. My personal values are very much in line with the code of ethics but if they weren't I would challenge myself to figure out why my personal "values" don't allow for things like dignity and worth of all people or self determination.
Source of Conflict?
It is thought to be the most effective
Ethical question?
It normally wouldn't unless your values were immoral. The closest you might come would be a life and death situation. Take the Donner Party, lost in the California-Nevada divide in the 19th century. Trapped in the snow in covered wagons without food, they were all starving. As the starvation progresses, the Donner party chooses to eat those members of the party that had died in order to survive. The value here would be the value of believing that sustaining one's life is one's right so long as it harms no others. The moral question is whether it is moral to eat another human -- to be a cannibal -- for any reason. The survivors shocked the nation with their harrowing story of survival but were they wrong to eat the flesh of their friends of family to survive -- including members of the party that made the others promise to eat them should they die so that their loved ones would have a chance to live?
What is an example of moral conflict?
My favourite moral conflict is the conflict between the virtues of democracy and leadership.To give you an example, while South Korea was developing, anti-Japanese sentiment was understandably high.When the President normalised relations with the Japanese, it not only provided huge benefit through trade but also compensation which was used to develop the Korean steel industry (POSCO).Understandably, this was extremely unpopular and widespread protests broke out across the country.The President was a dictator, and imposed marshal law. He continued to rule South Korea until he was assassinated. Yet his actions, including the above example, allowed South Korea to rise from a nation with similar per capita incomes as Zimbabwe to the economic power today.A patriot in this position faces a conflict.Does he respect the rule and will of the people?Or does he override the principles of self-determination, popular sovereignty, and freedom to improve the lives of his fellow citizens.
