Download or read book Project Ethics written by Haukur Ingi Jonasson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2017-03-02 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How relevant is ethics to project management? The book - which aims to demystify the field of ethics for project managers and managers in general - takes both a critical and a practical look at project management in terms of success criteria, and ethical opportunities and risks. The goal is to help the reader to use ethical theory to further identify opportunities and risks within their projects and thereby to advance more directly along the path of mature and sustainable managerial practice. Project Ethics opens with an investigation of the critical success factors in project management. It then illustrates how situations can arise within projects where values can compete, and looks at how ethical theories on virtue, utility, duty and rights can be used as competence eye-openers to evaluate projects. The reader is challenged to think of their project management experiences where questions of competing values surfaced, and mirror them in short vignettes taken from real practice from all round the globe. Finally, a new method is introduced, based on classical ethical theory, which can help project owners, project managers, project teams and stakeholders, to identify, estimate and evaluate ethical opportunities and risks in projects.

Download or read book The Ethics Project in Legal Education written by Michael Robertson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2010-10-06 with total page 245 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book discusses the teaching of ‘legal ethics’, arguing that the current formal rules governing lawyers are inadequate, as true engagement with ethical issues requires lawyers to exercise judgment, and therefore there is a need to rethink the aims, scope and methodology of ‘legal ethics education. The volume presents the views of a number of internationally renowned legal ethicists, including Brent Cotter and David Chavkin, exploring and questioning the teaching of legal ethics. The contributions examine legal ethics teaching in a range of jurisdictions including the USA, Canada, Australia, South Africa and Hong Kong. A number of contributors discuss design issues that cover a broad field of methods, including simulations, the pervasive use of problem-solving exercises, and real-world experiences, with some of the essays revealing their empirical findings on the effectiveness of these methods and particularly as they affect the students.

Download or read book Digital Contact Tracing for Pandemic Response written by Jeffrey P. Kahn and published by JHU Press. This book was released on 2020-05-29 with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As nations race to hone contact-tracing efforts, the world's experts consider strategies for maximum transparency and impact. As public health professionals around the world work tirelessly to respond to the COVID-19 pandemic, it is clear that traditional methods of contact tracing need to be augmented in order to help address a public health crisis of unprecedented scope. Innovators worldwide are racing to develop and implement novel public-facing technology solutions, including digital contact tracing technology. These technological products may aid public health surveillance and containment strategies for this pandemic and become part of the larger toolbox for future infectious outbreak prevention and control. As technology evolves in an effort to meet our current moment, Johns Hopkins Project on Ethics and Governance of Digital Contact Tracing Technologies—a rapid research and expert consensus group effort led by Dr. Jeffrey P. Kahn of the Johns Hopkins Berman Institute of Bioethics in collaboration with the university's Center for Health Security—carried out an in-depth analysis of the technology and the issues it raises. Drawing on this analysis, they produced a report that includes detailed recommendations for technology companies, policymakers, institutions, employers, and the public. The project brings together perspectives from bioethics, health security, public health, technology development, engineering, public policy, and law to wrestle with the complex interactions of the many facets of the technology and its applications. This team of experts from Johns Hopkins University and other world-renowned institutions has crafted clear and detailed guidelines to help manage the creation, implementation, and application of digital contact tracing. Digital Contact Tracing for Pandemic Response is the essential resource for this fast-moving crisis.

Download or read book Justpeace Ethics written by Jarem Sawatsky and published by Wipf and Stock Publishers. This book was released on 2009-01-01 with total page 115 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: People too often enter into conflict with an eye on how to resolve, manage, or transform it, thereby losing sight of the people involved and the end desired. Justice and peace too often serve as abstract ideals or distant shores. We have not yet learned enough about how these ends can also be the means of conflict resolution. Drawing on the imaginations of some leading peace and restorative justice practitioners, Justpeace Ethics identifies components of a justpeace imagination--the basis of an alternative ethics, where the end is touched with each step. In this simple companion to justpeace ethics, Jarem Sawatsky helps those struggling with how to respond to conflict and violence in both just and peaceful ways. He offers practical examples of how analysis, intervention, and evaluation can be rooted in a justpeace imagination.

Download or read book The Ontological Foundation of Ethics Politics and Law written by Francesco Belfiore and published by University Press of America. This book was released on 2013-03-25 with total page 531 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The revised edition of The Ontological Foundation of Ethics, Politics, and Law adds new concepts and discusses the views of additional thinkers. The author refers to his basic ontological conception of the human “mind” or “spirit” as an evolving, conscious, triadic entity composed of intellect, sensitivity, and power, each exerting a bidirectional (selfish and moral) activity. Through this approach, the notions of good, morality, society, and law are derived from the structure and functioning of the mind. It follows that the solutions presented are the results of a discovery and not the consequence of a choice. Otherwise stated, ethics, politics, and law are given an ontological foundation. For each topic considered, Belfiore shows how his thought can reinterpret the views of other philosophers. This new edition, enriched in concepts and quotations, appears as an innovative and highly stimulating contribution to the philosophical branches of ethics, politics, and law, and will be of interest to both graduate students and philosophy scholars.

Download or read book Ethics in Project Management written by Ralf Müller and published by . This book was released on 2014-08-22 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ethics is rarely a topic in project management research, despite its increasing popularity in the general management literature in recent years. Many of the recent scandals are traced back to questionable ethical behaviors of individuals or organizations. The work of these individuals and organizations is done to a large extent in projects. Thus, a better understanding of ethics and its implications in the context of projects helps building awareness about ethics within the project management community and helps preparing project managers to tackle ethical issues when they arise. Ethics - the justification of actions and practices in specific situations - is a reasoning process, a philosophical reflection on the moral life and the principles embedded in that life and their application to a given situation. The moral life and its principles develop from the traditions or beliefs that have evolved over several years or even centuries in societies concerning right and wrong conduct (Buchholz & Rosenthal, 1996). Thus, the moral principles is what we bring with us to projects, and their application to project situations constitute the ethical reasoning process.

Download or read book Incarcerations in Black and White written by Christi M. Griffin and published by C Griffin Publishing Incorporated. This book was released on 2013-08 with total page 292 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Incarcerations in Black and White: The Subjugation of Black America explores the economic continuum of slavery from the emancipation of slaves, through convict leasing and peonage to the U.S. prison system in the 21st Century. The author identifies key players in a system that has grossed billions of dollars by trafficking human beings through a corrupt and broken system. It discloses the use of lobbying and other influence to garner contracts from state and federal governments. Startling in the brazenness in which the prison system has evolved, Incarcerations in Black and White unveils glaring statistics that prove prisons do little more than shatter the lives of millions of Americans and set countless children on paths of trauma, violence, addiction and crime. Once the number one country in education and a world leader in space and technology, the United States has fallen substantially in educational ranking in the world. In stark contrast, the United States has garnered the number one position in incarcerating its citizens. Representing only 5% of the world population, the United States incarcerates 25% of the world's prison population, one in every one hundred of its citizens, outpacing every other country including China, Russia and Germany. Observing that the war on drugs has not only failed to eliminate drugs in the general population, Griffin brings to light that private prison corporations have failed to control drugs within the controlled prison environments they are paid billions to run. The raw numbers show that a grossly disproportionate number of African Americans and Hispanics are incarcerated and given longer sentences than whites, despite the fact that whites use drugs five times more frequently and commit more property crimes as well. While prison stock is being traded on the New York stock exchange, millionaire prison CEOs have allowed prison conditions to decline to inhumane levels in order to increase the value of their stock. Suicides, gang violence, drug use, murders, poor sanitation condition and lack of proper nutrition have all been cited in facilities owned or managed by the top two private prison corporations. Despite these harsh realities, billions in revenue allow these corporations to continue to persuade state and federal legislators and agencies to convert to private prisons. Even in the wake of their investigations for fraud and abuse and even in light of termination of several government contracts, private prisons continue to thrive. Incarcerations in Black and White provides disturbing correlations between the fraudulent practice of convict leasing and peonage in the late 1800s and the use of prisoners today to manufacture billions of dollars in goods and services while paying them as little as 40 cents an hour. It reveals that as the labor pool decrease, policies change to convict individuals for non-violent offenses and to give them longer sentences. As profits decrease, the incarceration of women and mothers now outpace that of men. The effect on society has been staggering. Schools are closed while billions are directed into a system that has increased incarcerations by 800% since 1963. Children are being placed in foster care, often permanently separated from parents as they were during slavery. Far from being an exhaustive exploration into a broken system of over incarceration, Griffin examined data, scholarly articles, books and research to give insight into the billions of dollars spent for ineffective solutions. It explores the impact of incarcerations on children, families and the community and provides numerous links, resources and contacts to strength collaborations. Convinced that prison corporations are driving this country toward disaster, Incarcerations in Black and White names those behind a destructive, unquenchable system that has convicted thousands of innocent people, created new crimes to fill prison beds and placed an entire nation behind locked doors

Download or read book The Engineering Project written by Gene Moriarty and published by Penn State Press. This book was released on 2015-11-05 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We all live our daily lives surrounded by the products of technology that make what we do simpler, faster, and more efficient. These are benefits we often just take for granted. But at the same time, as these products disburden us of unwanted tasks that consumed much time and effort in earlier eras, many of them also leave us more disengaged from our natural and even human surroundings. It is the task of what Gene Moriarty calls focal engineering to create products that will achieve a balance between disburdenment and engagement: “How much disburdenment will be appropriate while still permitting an engagement that enriches one’s life, elevates the spirit, and calls forth a good life in a convivial society?” One of his examples of a focally engineered structure is the Golden Gate Bridge, which “draws people to it, enlivens and elevates the human spirit, and resonates with the world of its congenial setting. Humans, bridge, and world are in tune.” These values of engagement, enlivenment, and resonance are key to the normative approach Moriarty brings to the profession of engineering, which traditionally has focused mainly on technical measures of evaluation such as efficiency, productivity, objectivity, and precision. These measures, while important, look at the engineered product in a local and limited sense. But “from a broader perspective, what is locally benign may present serious moral problems,” undermining “social justice, environmental sustainability, and health and safety of affected parties.” It is this broader perspective that is championed by focal engineering, the subject of Part III of the book, which Moriarty contrasts with “modern” engineering in Part I and “pre-modern” engineering in Part II.

Download or read book From Revolution to Ethics written by Julian Bourg and published by McGill-Queen's Press - MQUP. This book was released on 2007-05-14 with total page 502 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The French revolts of May 1968, the largest general strike in twentieth-century Europe, were among the most famous and colourful episodes of the twentieth century. Julian Bourg argues that during the subsequent decade the revolts led to a remarkable paradigm shift in French thought - the concern for revolution in the 1960s was transformed into a fascination with ethics. Challenging the prevalent view that the 1960s did not have any lasting effect, From Revolution to Ethics demonstrates that intellectuals and activists turned to ethics as the touchstone for understanding interpersonal, institutional, and political dilemmas. In absorbing and scrupulously researched detail Bourg explores the developing ethical fascination as it emerged among student Maoists courting terrorism, anti-psychiatric celebrations of madness, feminists mobilizing against rape, and pundits and philosophers championing human rights. Based on newly accessible archival sources and over fifty interviews with men and women who participated in the events of the era, From Revolution to Ethics provides a compelling picture of how May 1968 helped make ethics a compass for navigating contemporary global experience.
