When confronted with an ethical dilemma, most of us like to think we would stand up for our principles. But we are not as ethical as we think we are. In Blind Spots, leading business ethicists Max Bazerman and Ann Tenbrunsel examine the ways we overestimate our ability to do what is right and how we act unethically without meaning to. From the collapse of Enron and corruption in the tobacco industry, to sales of the defective Ford Pinto and the downfall of Bernard Madoff, the authors investigate the nature of ethical failures in the business world and beyond, and illustrate how we can become more ethical, bridging the gap between who we are and who we want to be.

The types of ethical dilemmas that psychologists face do not remain static but evolve with the times and as a function of technological/scientific advances, political, world and national events (e.g., pandemics, international conflicts) as well as shifts in research paradigms and in sensitivity to individual aspects of identity. The focus of this article is on domains of ethical dilemmas that have been increasingly preoccupying psychologists in recent years (e.g., internet-delivered psychological interventions, applications of social media and computer vision technologies, use of advanced brain imaging procedures in research, genetic testing in clinical settings, refugee integration, work with patient partners in research, open access publishing, and open sharing of research data). Consideration is also given to increased sensitivity to cross-cultural and individual differences that has led to changes in the way that psychologists use language and work with diverse groups. The goal of this article is to raise awareness of the manner in which ethical dilemmas and views about ethicality shift over time. It is recommended that ethics courses and related training initiatives encourage psychologists to remain mindful of emerging ethical issues and foster an understanding of the manner in which accumulating knowledge and changes in society can impact our approach to ethical decision-making. Les types de dilemmes éthiques auxquels les psychologues sont confrontés ne restent pas statiques, mais évoluent avec le temps et en fonction des avancées technologiques/scientifiques, des événements politiques, mondiaux et nationaux (par exemple, les pandémies, les conflits internationaux) ainsi que des changements dans les paradigmes de recherche et dans la sensibilité aux aspects individuels de l'identité. Cet article se penche sur les domaines de dilemmes éthiques qui préoccupent de plus en plus les psychologues ces dernières années (par exemple, les interventions psychologiques délivrées par Internet, les applications des médias sociaux et des technologies de vision par ordinateur, l'utilisation de procédures avancées d'imagerie cérébrale dans la recherche, les tests génétiques en milieu clinique, l'intégration des réfugiés, le travail avec des patients partenaires dans la recherche, la publication en libre accès et le partage ouvert des données de recherche). L'on tient également compte de la sensibilité accrue aux différences interculturelles et individuelles qui a conduit à des changements dans la façon dont les psychologues utilisent le langage et travaillent avec des groupes divers. Le but de cet article est de sensibiliser par rapport à la manière dont les dilemmes éthiques et les points de vue sur l'éthique évoluent. Il est recommandé que les cours d'éthique et les initiatives de formation connexes encouragent les psychologues à rester attentifs aux questions éthiques émergentes et à favoriser la compréhension de la manière dont l'accumulation des connaissances et les changements dans la société peuvent avoir un impact sur notre approche de la prise de décision éthique. Public Significance Statement The types of ethical dilemmas that psychologists face evolve with the times as a function of a variety of factors such as technological advances and increases in knowledge. Psychologists must remain mindful of emerging ethical issues and the way in which changes in society can impact our approach to ethical decision-making.

\"A warm, personal guide to building a strong ethical and moral compass in the midst of today's confusing, scary, global problems. The moral challenges of today are unfamiliar in the history of philosophy. Climate change is the paradigm example of what Travis Rieder calls \"The Puzzle\" in the way your choices can seem at odds with what the planet urgently needs. How do we decide the right thing to do in the face of a massive collective challenge? Should you drink water from a plastic bottle or not? Drive a Tesla? Or is that just what Elon and all the other corporations want you to think? What makes individual ethics difficult to think about in the case of catastrophic climate change makes ethics difficult to think about in many other contexts as well. The Puzzle, as he explains, is everywhere now. The chapters include a lively, meaningful tour of traditional moral reasoning looking at the contributions of Plato, Hegel, and Kant among others. But they could not grasp The Puzzle we now face. Old fashioned exercises like trolley problems involving sacrificing one person on this track for a bunch of people on the other don't address the huge consequential and complex crises our global community faces today. The tools most of us unthinkingly rely on when we try to do the right thing don't help when it comes to reasoning about individual responsibility for large collective problems. Expanding our suite of ethical concepts is now urgently required. Rieder defines exactly how to change our thinking, addressing mundane issues like bottled water to the biggies like whether to have children. This is a way to live a morally decent life in the scary, always complicated world we and our children live in. It's how to build your own Catastrophe Ethics\"-- Provided by publisher.

Motivated by the call for more research on students' perceptions of their ethical development in business education programs, this study examines students' reflections on how their understanding of ethics was challenged and/or changed, and what facilitated the development of ethical decision-making approaches in a first-year accounting course. The results indicate that students developed more sophisticated and contextualised views of ethical issues in business, government and social contexts including the need to consider their impact on various stakeholders. Students attributed this development to the various elements in the integrated course design including the real cases sourced in current newspaper articles, an ethical decision-making framework with various ethical perspectives, the reflective journal component and the ability to work in groups. These findings have implications for the design of effective ethics education programs in business.

Introduction Patient participation is essential for quality palliative care, and physicians play a crucial role in promoting participation. This study explores physicians' perceptions of patients and family caregivers' involvement in the different phases of the palliative pathway and employs a qualitative design with thematic analysis and a hermeneutic approach. Methods A purposive sampling included physicians who worked in different phases of the palliative pathway. In‐depth, semi‐structured interviews were conducted with 13 physicians in Norway between May and June 2020. Results Three main themes illustrate physicians' perceptions of patients' and family caregivers' involvement: (1) beneficence for the patient and the family caregivers in the early phase, (2) autonomy and shared decision‐making in the middle phase, and (3) family involvement in the terminal phase. Conclusion The physicians perceived bereavement conversations as essential, particularly if the pathway had been challenging. They also perceived patient participation and family caregivers' involvement as contextual. The results reveal that participation differs across the different phases of the palliative pathway. This type of knowledge should be included in the education of health‐care professionals. Future research should explore elements vital to successful patient participation and family involvement in the different phases of care. Patient or Public Contributions Family caregivers were involved in a previous study through individual interviews. The same interview guide used for the family caregivers was used when interviewing the physicians. The family caregivers' contribution led to nuanced questions in the interviews with the physicians, questions leaning on their stories told.

The practice and study of pain management pose myriad ethical challenges. There is a consensual opinion that adequate management of pain is a medical obligation rooted in classical Greek practice. However, there is evidence that patients often suffer from uncontrolled and unnecessary pain. This is inconsistent with the leges artis, and its practical implications merit a bioethical analysis. Several factors have been identified as causes of uncontrolled and unnecessary pain, which deprive patients from receiving appropriate treatments that theoretically they have the right to access. Important factors include (with considerable regional, financial, and cultural differences) the following: 1) failure to identify pain as a priority in patient care; 2) failure to establish an adequate physician-patient relationship; 3) insufficient knowledge regarding adequate prescription of analgesics; 4) conflicting notions associated with drug-induced risk of tolerance and fear of addiction; 5) concerns regarding \"last-ditch\" treatments of severe pain; and 6) failure to be accountable and equitable. The aim of this article was to establish that bioethics can serve as a framework for addressing these challenging issues and, from theoretical to practical approaches, bioethical reflection can contextualize the problem of unrelieved pain. This article is organized into three parts. First, we illustrate that pain management and its undertreatment are indeed ethical issues. The second part describes possible ethical frameworks that can be combined and integrated to better define the ethical issues in pain management. Finally, we discuss possible directions forward to improve ethical decision making in pain management. We argue that 1) the treatment of pain is an ethical obligation, 2) health science schools, especially medical training institutions, have the duty to teach pain management in a comprehensive fashion, and 3) regulatory measures, which prevent patients from access to opioid treatment as indicated in their cases, are unethical and should be reconsidered. Developing an ethical framework for pain management will result in enhanced quality of care, linking the epistemic domains of pain management to their anthropological foundations, thereby making them ethically sound.
