What event or personal example (taken from your life experience, observation of others, or even literature or film) has impressed you personally from an ethical perspective?

Understanding who you are and how you might behave in a certain situation requires you to take a step back and consider how you established your own personal values and ethics. The helping professions, including psychology, require you to interact with individuals whose experience may be quite different from your own, presenting frequent ethical dilemmas.

This week’s assigned readings will provide some good insights into moral and ethics development. For this task, prepare a reflection paper as you discuss your professional and personal outlook on ethics and ethics in psychology, and reflect on what you read.

Consider the following questions as you prepare your reflection paper:

  • What event or personal example (taken from your life experience, observation of others, or even literature or film) has impressed you personally from an ethical perspective?
  • Before beginning this course, what thoughts have you had about right and wrong professional behavior (ethics) in psychology? Where does this conception of professional ethics come from?
  • After visiting the American Psychological Association’s website, and reviewing psychology subfields, which subfields do you believe are most compatible with who you are as a person? Which ones might present an ethical challenge to you?
  • Which subfields do you believe are most compatible with who you are as a person?
  • What subfields do you believe might present an ethical challenge for you?

While public health ethicists often claim that the least restrictive alternative should be used to achieve the public health goal in question, I argue that a plausible but under-recognized idea is that the least restrictive alternative might sometimes involve improvement of global health via redistributive taxation—i.e., rather than coercive social distancing measures.

What types of legal barriers to market entry exist? 

Type: Individual Project Deliverable Length: 4-5 Body Pages

Antitrust laws were essentially created to stop businesses that got too large from blocking competition and abusing their power. Mergers and monopolies can limit the choices offered to consumers because smaller businesses are not usually able to compete. Although free and open competition ensures lower prices and new and better products, it has the potential to significantly limit market diversity.

Look at the 2 examples below of how mergers and acquisitions have affected the way in which companies do business.

Read each of the 2 examples below. Prepare a APA formatted research paper that responds to the aligned questions. Specifically, your paper must:

  • Identify      the two firms with similar problems from different countries
  • Conduct      a comparative analysis of the firms
  • Analyze      political, social, ethical and legal differences and their impact on      management decision making
  • Provide      substantive conclusion and recommendations

Example 1

Federal antitrust enforcers are investigating whether a multinational pharmaceutical company has attempted to minimize the impact of generic competition to one of its most profitable prescription drugs. This anti-depressant drug is the company’s best seller, with sales last year of $2.11 billion, representing a 22% increase from the year before.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) is conducting an investigation to determine whether the company has engaged in activities to prevent generic alternatives to the prescription drug from entering the market. Specifically, the FTC is challenging a practice among brand-name and generic-drug manufacturers to agree to delay the introduction of the lower priced generic drugs to the market.

Answer the following questions:

  • Why      would the drug maker want to stymie generic competition? Explain.
  • What      types of legal barriers to market entry exist?
  • What      are the possible ethical dilemmas present in this example?

Example 2

The boards of 2 major telecommunications companies recently agreed to a $16 billion-dollar merger that would create the world’s largest telecommunications company in the world. Although some agree that the synergy between these companies could be dynamic, others feel consumers could ultimately pay the price for the merger depending on which company becomes dominant in the various service areas.

Answer the following questions:

  • Why do      you think consumer advocates have expressed concern over such merger      possibilities?
  • Other      than pricing, what are some pitfalls that consumers might have to deal      with when 2 major companies merge?
  • What      are the possible ethical dilemmas present in this example?
