Abstract
This paper discusses the difficult issue of immigration into the USA and its rigid border controls. The paper discusses how, as numerous commentators have pointed out, America is a country that was built by immigrants and it therefore seems somewhat ironic and contradictory that the question of immigration is a subject that divides the American public and which has been the cause of such heated and extensive debate.
From the Paper
"The advocates of this view call for a repeal of the Illegal Immigration Reform and Immigrant Responsibility Act of 1996, which criminalizes the act of crossing the border to search fro work. ("Tear Down the Wall": Global Exchange Statement on U.S.-Mexico Border Migration) This call is also motivated by the fact that many young immigrants are "... in danger of being deported for petty crimes or even for crimes they did not commit..." which can in turn result in "...separating and destroying families and uprooting youth from their home communities." ("Tear Down the Wall": Global Exchange Statement on U.S.-Mexico Border Migration) In essence those who are in favor of this view see the strict immigration controls as an exacerbating factor in the increase of crime and criminal behavior among immigrants.

Abstract
This paper explores the issues of surrogate pregnancy. The various types of surrogacy are defined as well as the possible problems that may arise because of this arrangement. Despite the implications of surrogate parenting, the author concludes that this is a viable means for childless couples to become parents.
From the Paper
"Because gestational surrogacy does not genetically link the host mother with the gestational parents, relinquishment of the child after pregnancy would seem much simpler than if the mother carrying the baby is genetically linked with the baby. Traditional surrogacy, requiring the carrier mother's eggs to conceive a child, automatically brings forth the question of whether the genetic mother should have a continuing relationship with the child after birth (Jaggar, 1994). It is important that couples consider the implications of traditional surrogacy. Still other opponents argue it is more difficult for the genetic or gestational mother to bond with a child she has not carried. There is adequate research however, supporting the role of the genetic mother and legitimizing her right to raising her child (Beckman & Ciccarelli, 2005). This research suggests that genetic mothers when provided ample support and resources are just as likely to raise a healthy child whether they carried the child to term or not."

A discussion regarding the ethics in long-term care.

Abstract
This paper discusses the hotly debated issue of the ethics involved in long-term care. The paper reports that despite the law that the nursing facility must have sufficient nursing staff to provide nursing and related services to attain or maintain the highest practicable physical, mental, and psychosocial well-being of each resident, as determined by resident assessments and individual plans of care, abuse is commonplace.
From the Paper
"Just like daycare services the states are left to regulate the number of nursing aides (working toward their CNA certification a process that takes only 75 hours of class and clinical time much of which they fulfill while working, a short written exam and short clinical exam) or CNAs (who have fulfilled the brief qualifications and been registered with the state as CNAs) who must be present to provide care to the population of the facility. The federal regulations rely on a system of reviewing all patient care plans and determining the number based on this, though the states often regulate further determining a number of patient, depending on level of care, per aide per shift (often with a shift differential where the daytime shifts when people are needing to be more active have more aids working) Yet, the numbers are minimalist and often skilled nursing services will report being understaffed. (Eric Bates, 1999, p. 11)"

From the Paper
"While many people think that a person can only donate organs after they die, this is not true. In 2002, one-fourth of all transplants performed in the United States were with organs donated by a living person (Gift of Life Trust Fund, 2006). A person has the ability to donate one kidney and live a normal life with the remaining healthy kidney. Also, in some situations, a portion of a liver, lung or pancreas may be donated. Blood, bone and bone marrow may also be donated by a living person. Just one pint of blood can help save four individual lives."

Abstract
This paper examines the use of deadly force and how it applies to law enforcement. The paper discusses how the use of a force continuum is a topic that has come under fire in recent years as people being chased pass away or people being shot turn out not to have guns. The paper also explores the importance of a use of a force continuum while at the same time explains that force is sometimes necessary for the safety of the suspect, the public and the officers.
Outline:
Introduction
History
What a Continuum is
Problems
Legal Issues
How Force Continuum Works
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Use of force continuums didn't exist prior to the 1960's. At that time law enforcement agencies across the nation used varying degrees of force in any given situation and the officers had to decide in the field what to do in an escalating situation.
While it was an accepted practice at the time it began to bring negative publicity to law enforcement agencies across the nation as problems began to crop up. Whether officers used to much force and the result was the death of someone who did not have to die, or they did not use enough force and the result was harm to the public, it seemed that they were under the gun in many debates when it came to the use of force(Petrowski, 2002).
It was a problem for all agencies but a particular problem for law enforcement agencies that had officers in the field. "

Abstract
This paper takes a look cloning, a subject that has become some what of an issue of contention. The paper reviews the various issues surrounding the idea of cloning and discusses how that even without cloning, science will still find ways to engineer body parts and prolong healthy life, like it has done over the last hundreds and thousands of years.
Outline:
What is Cloning?
Cloning of Mammals
Therapeutic Cloning
Advantages of Cloning
Conclusions
From the Paper
"There are of course advantages of therapeutic cloning and some would argue of reproductive cloning too but I believe that the potential disadvantages outweigh the advantages and many learned scientists also believe that cloning is unethical. Thirty three countries have already banned human cloning: they include Australia, Austria, Argentina, Belgium, Brazil, the Czech Republic, Costa Rica, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Lithuania, Mexico, the Netherlands, Norway, Peru, Portugal, Romania, Russia, Slovakia, South Africa, South Korea, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Trinidad and Tobago and the United Kingdom [Center for Genetics and Society, 2003] . In a UN debate on cloning the United Nations decided to abandon any treaty on human cloning for the time being. Fifty member states including the United States were pushing to ban all forms of human cloning. Fourteen other countries -- including Britain, Japan and China -- were lobbying for a ban only on production of babies. That would allow scientists to use "stem cells" gathered from human embryo clones for medical treatments [Biever, 2005]"

The Social Responsibilities of Business, 2007.

Abstract
This paper discusses Milton Friedman's views on the social responsibilities of businesses. The paper presents Friedman's views that a business' social responsibility consists of its adherence to the goals of good business practice - it must generate profits in an ethical manner and be responsible to its stockholders and that anything less than this is a perversion of the capitalist system.
From the Paper
"Rules with very similar effects to those produced by monopolies are a frequent target of Friedman's arguments. Excessive government regulation and interference is detrimental to the smooth operation of the free market and amounts to authoritarian control. In most cases, Friedman would insist, businesses are able to regulate themselves. The market produces its own laws, laws that reflect the customs of the sum total of individual consumers. It is these consumers that constitute "society." Friedman reckons strict government control an even more pernicious development than private monopoly."

Ethical Decision Making, 2007.
An analysis of ethical decision making within Boeing.

Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper presents the writer's opinion of ethical decision making within Boeing. The paper presents a case study of a situation within the company where the CEO of Boeing was asked to resign after it was discovered that he conducted an affair with a female executive. The paper describes some of the outstanding questions of the public and the media in relation to this case and the questionable justifications, according to those sources, that they made while reaching a decision on how to deal with the situation.
From the Paper
"From what we know about the Boeing's ex-CEO, it appears that the company did not have any problems with his professional performance. It is clear form the statements released by the firm following the firing that Boeing's financial health was getting better and there were no issues with Stonecipher's professional capabilities. However as someone put it rightly, it was not the relationship itself but the poor judgment that got Stonecipher into trouble. Poor judgment means the inability of the CEO to foresee the possible consequences of his actions. Apart from that, lower tolerance for workplace romances was also responsible and in these troubled times, anything even remotely unethical in a business environment can result in serious legal repercussions: ""In this environment, office romances have serious legal complications today that they didn't have 20 years ago," said Charles M. Elson, director of a corporate governance program at the University of Delaware. "It's not the relationship, it's the judgment that got you into the relationship that can get you into trouble."" (Merle, 2005)"

Business Ethics, 2007.
This paper examines the issue of business ethics, making use of four relevant articles.
2,830 words (approx. 11.3 pages), 4 sources, APA, $ 84.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
In this essay, the writer studies "The Business of Ethics - The Importance of Working with Integrity" by Lee Anna Jackson, "Ethics - The Global Challenge" by Alan Lane, "Keeping Ethics at the Forefront of our Business" by Esther Muller and "Ethical Imperatives" by Glenda Vosburgh. The writer notes that all the articles to a greater or lesser degree also address the pressures on the modern company to perform increasingly well in terms of profit. The writer then explains that this places pressure on leaders, who in their turn pressure their employees. Further, the writer points out that the middleman in this trio is the leader, who stands between the employee team and external pressures towards more profits. The leader then needs to shoulder the responsibility of incorporating ethical ideals, building up internal and external trust, and in the end producing the necessary revenue to survive and eventually excel. The writer discusses that because of the changing business environment both externally and internally, the above-mentioned pressures are offset by the public and other stakeholders in the business. The writer concludes that it is therefore likely that pressure from the public and investors would be more towards ethical behavior than pure profit.
From the Paper
"In today's business world, the issue of ethics is becoming increasingly important even as it is becoming increasingly complicated. Scandals associated with huge businesses such as Enron have brought to the attention of all business leaders the importance of ethics. "Doing the right thing" in the business world today has gained importance for several reasons. The most important of these is the fact that scandals result in devastating losses of public, customer and investor trust. Hence there is a loss in revenue and in most cases the business entity either closes down or ceases business until the scandal's effects have diminished. It is therefore in the interest of business survival to act in an ethical manner."
