Adult Education at the Ethical Society of St. Louis Our aim is not to adapt individuals to their existing social circumstances, but to develop each person as a leader who can raise the quality of relationships with his or her family, friendships, workplace, community, and country. People are not born knowing how to build good relationships, create ethical cultures, or experience spiritual well-being. Classes are open to the entire community—not just Society members—and are taught by experts from the St. Louis community and beyond. www.ethicalstl.org /adulted.shtml   (374 words)

Philosophy and Beliefs of Ethical Culture Some people choose the Ethical Society as their community without viewing Ethical Culture as their religion because to them "religion" means dogmatism and the worship of a supernatural God. Professional Ethical Society Leaders fill the roles of religious clergy, including meeting the pastoral needs of members, performing ceremonies, and serving as spokespeople for the congregation in the community. Ethical Culture is clear about the essential role that ethical principles play in human relationships. www.ethicalstl.org /philosophy.shtml   (374 words)

Today, ethical wills are being written by people at turning points in their lives: facing challenging life situations and at transitional life stages. www.ethicalwill.com   (374 words)

OpinionJournal - CULTURE CLASH Tradition, then, is the only possible mode for transmitting a community's habits of the heart, and it does this by providing the recipe for making the kind of human beings who will viscerally feel and respond to the same habits of the heart as the community to which they belong. The primary function of the family as an ethical institution is to provide a schedule of developmental expectations appropriate to males and to females--to wire this set of normative expectations into the visceral system of the child while he or she is still young. A tradition's very oldness--its survival through the vicissitudes of centuries and adaptability to so many social and historical "environments"--was for him prima facie evidence that it was "fit" to survive, just as a species that has survived a variety of environmental challenges may be said to be "fit" in terms of the evolutionary struggle. www.opinionjournal.com /forms/printThis.html?id=110006922   (11802 words)

Ethical Traveler: FAQ Ethical Traveler is dedicated to educating travelers about the social and environmental impact of their decisions, showing how travel can be a potent form of diplomacy, and giving travelers a forum through which their united voices can serve the world community. Ethical Traveler hopes to create a shift in the way travelers view themselves, and their influence within the global community. The seeds for Ethical Traveler were planted in 1996, when author and journalist Jeff Greenwald — Ethical Traveler's founder — wrote an op-ed for the Washington Post supporting the boycott of tourism to Burma. www.ethicaltraveler.org /faq.php   (11802 words)

Aristotle -- Politics [Internet Encyclopedia of Philosophy] This is because Aristotle believed that ethics and politics were closely linked, and that in fact the ethical and virtuous life is only available to someone who participates in politics, while moral education is the main purpose of the political community. A political community that has extremes of wealth and poverty "is a city not of free persons but of slaves and masters, the ones consumed by envy, the others by contempt. And here we see the link between ethics and politics in a different light: the role of politics is to provide an environment in which people can live fully human, ethical, and happy lives, and this is the kind of life which makes it possible for someone to participate in politics in the correct way. www.iep.utm.edu /a/aris-pol.htm   (11802 words)

Earthbeat:: 6 November  2004  - Riding the Wave in East Timor People accept the view that the sort of tourism we should develop here should be low volume, high value, and ones that promote community involvement, participation and direct benefits to the community. But there was a national conference of tourism in 2003 in Dili, and we were asked to give a presentation, and we did, and we’ve had a lot of response and interest from other local communities that see it as something that they can do themselves and they want to learn about it. Jose Teixerira, Secretary of State for Tourism, Environment and Investment, has already begun working on a raft of tourism policies for East Timor, and he says sustainability is a key priority. www.abc.net.au /rn/science/earth/stories/s1234953.htm   (11802 words)

Rebecca Blood :: The Weblog Handbook: Practical Advice On Creating And Maintaining Your Blog :: Excerpt :: Blog Ethics Their ethical standards are designed to delineate the journalist's responsibilities and provide a clear code of conduct that will ensure the integrity of the news. Rights have associated responsibilities; in the end it is an individual's professionalism and meticulous observance of recognized ethical standards that determines her status in the eyes of society and the law. But I would propose a set of six rules that I think form a basis of ethical behavior for online publishers of all kinds. www.rebeccablood.net /handbook/excerpts/weblog_ethics.html   (2332 words)

Ethical Policy Statement: Ethical Decision Making for Healthcare Executives Whereas physicians, nurses, and other caregivers may primarily address ethical issues on a case-by-case basis, healthcare executives have a responsibility to also address those issues with broader community and societal implications. Ethical decision making is required when the healthcare executive must balance the needs and interests of the individual, the organization and society. Beyond the creation of an ethics committee, healthcare executives should consider developing ethical standards of conduct and offering educational programming to boards, staff, physicians, and others on these standards and on the more global issues of ethical decision making in today's healthcare environment. www.ache.org /POLICY/decision.cfm   (525 words)

Audio Library for the Ethical Society of St. Louis We welcome the ethical diversity which the Society makes possible, and as we value that diversity we will be the natural enemy of all single intense visions of life that drive people to try to make it the requirement that all hold to their morality. Ethical Culture founder Felix Adler's early idealism was, to a large extent, superceded in the following century by philosophies of naturalism and pragmatism. Ethical Culture is a child of the Enlightenment. www.ethicalstl.org /libraryaudio.shtml   (525 words)

Chamsy Ojeili - Post-modernism, the Return to Ethics, and the Crisis of Socialist Values Socialist orthodoxy had seen the demise of any significant political and ethical thought. Such sentiments threaten individual freedom and the achievement of a more adequate political and ethical dimension for emancipatory thought. Communism is not after all an ideal to which reality will have to adjust itself but rather a growing reality that will eventually alter society’s self-understanding. www.democracynature.org /dn/vol8/ojeili_ethics.htm   (525 words)

Framework for Ethical Decision Making The ethical corporate action, then, is the one that produces the greatest good and does the least harm for all who are affected - customers, employees, shareholders, the community, and the environment. Some ethicists emphasize that the ethical action is the one that provides the most good or does the least harm or, in another way of putting it, produces the greatest balance of good over harm. Making good ethical decisions requires a trained sensitivity to ethical issues and a practiced method for exploring the ethical aspects of a decision and weighing the considerations which should impact our choice of a course of action. www.scu.edu /ethics/practicing/decision/framework.html   (525 words)

AMS Ethical Guidelines These guidelines reflect its expectations of behavior both for AMS members, as well as for all individuals and institutions in the wider mathematical community, including those engaged in the education or employment of mathematicians or in the publication of mathematics.

Ethical relationship - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Visotzky exploits much of the Talmudic, midrash and magisterium, demonstrating that these Jewish theological traditions too had often focused on the ethical relationship, not only between Man and God, but between others in one's family, tribe or community. An ethical relationship, in most theories of ethics that employ the term, is a basic and trustworthy relationship that one has to another human being, that cannot necessarily be characterized in terms of any abstraction other than trust and common protection of each other's body. As contrasted to theories of ethics that derive from social dispute resolution, or the meta-ethics as defined in Western moral philosophy, ethical traditions emphasizing abstract moral codes expressed in some language with some judgemental hierarchy, ethical relationship theories tend to emphasize human development. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Ethical_relationship   (518 words)

An ethical relationship, in most theories of ethics that employ the term, is a basic and trustworthy relationship that one has to another human being, that cannot necessarily be characterized in terms of any abstraction other than trust and common protection of each other's body.

developments - Features issue 1 - When worlds collide Ethical tourism worldwide is of course, not something that can just happen overnight - especially when tourism is growing so quickly and controlled by some of the world's largest multinational corporations. Ethical enjoyment abroad can be found through organisations including: Earthwatch, an environmental charity which recruits paying volunteers to participate in projects around the world, on 01865 311600, and Discovery Initiatives, a company offering a programme of conservation holidays, on 0171 229 9881. But what is desperately needed is for everyone - tourists, the tourism industry, governments and community and environmental groups - to reassess things. www.developments.org.uk /data/01/collide.htm   (518 words)

Ethical Decision-making and Dual Relationships In fact, professional practice throughout the country is fraught with various types of dual relationships many of which cannot be avoided and there are some situations where the avoidance of the dual relationship could even be thought of as unethical. For example, the solo practitioner who works out of a small town, is almost forced repeatedly into dual relationships by the very nature of his or her practice and to avoid so doing would remove psychological resources from the community altogether. In the spirit of minimizing risk, the therapist who chooses to enter into a dual relationship with a client, or one who is even forced into the dual relationship, must manage the relationship in such away that the therapeutic component is not damaged by the secondary relationship. www.kspope.com /dual/younggren.php   (2003 words)

nov964.txt The same structured analysis can be used for all types of ethical dilemmas; the benefit of such an analysis is that it gives police officers the tools for identifying and resolving their own dilemmas. When discussing ethical formalism, students are asked to resolve a specific dilemma by selecting a resolution that is pure or unblemished in motive, regardless of the consequences. This justification, however, differs from an ethical argument to come forward in the name of integrity. www.fbi.gov /publications/leb/1996/nov964.txt   (4220 words)

Sources of Ethical Authority We can require that an ethical framework must call for behavior that leads to enhanced survival of the individual, or the individual's children, or the individual's kin or community. One ethical base that has been elaborated mostly by philosophers is the idea that acts that are right, self-evidently right because they are useful, constructive, or helpful in some way to the person who does them. When an ethical framework is taught to children, the first authority is the parent's "Because I said so." The value of "Because I said so" should not be overlooked. dcortesi.home.mindspring.com /unbelieving/ethical/authority.html   (3372 words)

Images Shape Our Moral Community Moral community refers to the network of those to whom we recognize an ethical connection through the demands of justice, the bonds of compassion, or a sense of obligation. This is not to say that moral community is a series of concentric circles with moral claims diminishing as we move further away from our immediate sphere. The moral community for most of us lies somewhere in between, reaching beyond the immediate limits of family and friends to include those who share our gender or race, class, profession, religion, nationality, and, possibly, our humanity. www.scu.edu /ethics/publications/iie/v7n2/spohn.html   (1500 words)

CHAPTER XIV This response is chiefly anchored in ethical knowledge, that is, in the participant's "understanding of an ethical tradition's significance for coping with novel or exigent circumstances. In an ethical context, one primary employment of an objective principle, in contrast to that of personal precepts, consists in the aim of arriving at a conclusive determination or settlement of disputes that arise out of human conflict. Perhaps it is in this context that the challenge of ethical objectivism, quite apart from the issue of philosophical plausibility, is valuable as an external challenge, when this challenge is construed as a reasonable demand for a statement of principles that have the status of objectivity independently of personal commitment. www.crvp.org /book/Series04/IVA-7/chapter_xiv.htm   (7865 words)

Travel Ethical tourism sometimes requires a little research before going on holiday, for example, finding out if it is culturally acceptable to barter and how low you should go. Examples of ethical tourism could be buying dinner at a locally owned restaurant instead of a multinational chain or going on a holiday where you live with local people or work on an local environmental project. Ethical tourism is tourism which respects local cultures and the local environment. www.nya.org.uk /Global-youth/template.asp?NodeID=91005   (7865 words)

Ethics: What is It and Why is It Important? - Wertz - Social Science at the Eunice Kennedy Shriver Center - UMass Medical School Ethical questions involve 1) responsibilities to the welfare of others or to the human community; or 2) conflicts among loyalties to different persons or groups, among responsibilities associated with one's role (e.g. Other relationships affecting ethical decisions in genetics include relationships with the client's family, with institutions (schools, employers, insurers), and with one's own sense of professional integrity, and the client's own relationships with spouse or partner and with family members.
