The Role Of Ethics In The Michael Garman Museum
The key concept in museology that I will discuss is ethics.
I believe that museum exhibits should be set up in a way that visitors can learn ethics from viewing or interacting with the exhibit. I say this because as far as museum ethics I know that for the most part, ethics concentrating on environment, marketing, education, and services, are already confronted. This is a concern for me because the last museum I visited, the Michael Garman Museum claimed to be a museum, but it did not feel like a museum to me. According to ICOM, “ethics are aimed at guiding a museum’s conduct.” With that in mind, The Michael Garman Museum could be subjected to unwanted consequences of ethics for museum exhibitions, false advertising, and inadequate exhibit

    Comparing The Walters Art Museum And The Baltimore Museum Of Art

    In the podcast “Museums as White Spaces,” Arun Venugopal discusses how racial minorities can perceive museums and galleries as unwelcoming to them. Even the residents of a city like Baltimore feel unwelcome in museums in their neighborhoods like the Walters Art Museum and the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA). Many of the world’s greatest museums have existed for many years; they hold long standing traditions and have striven to maintain their status as keepers of collections and public educators, yet they have done little to spur public interaction, reach out to their local communities or make themselves truly welcoming to all. One way museums can become more focused on community-centered engagement and inclusive practice is by initiating active…

    Martin Marietta Ethics Summary

    “Martin Marietta ethics program was one facet of an effort to create and maintain a “do-it-right” climate at a time when the defense industry was facing serious attacks from the government and the public for fraud and mismanagement” (Paine, Choy, & Santoro, 2004, p. 2). During the 1980s, there was an increase in defense spending as allegations of contract fraud often made headlines. To protect itself, Martin Marietta in addition to 18 other defense organizations worked together to form Defense Industry Initiative on Business Ethics and Conduct. In 1991, Martin Marietta’s corporate office received 9,625 calls concerning corporate ethics with 572 of the reported cases recorded as alleged questionable behavior (Paine et al.,…

    Why Museums Are The New Churches By Jason Farago

    In “Why Museums are the New Churches” by Jason Farago, he argues how the art museum has surpassed the church as the most important and ultimate building of our society. Also, Farago continues to show how people mimic and copy religious acts and rituals while visiting a museum. He provides numerous examples from history and buildings from around the world. He also gives many modern examples of this shift from churches to museums. Throughout his writing, Farago builds an argument that museums have become the most vital building, and he uses some interesting techniques along the way.…

    Analysis Of Controversy: The Enola Gay Exhibition

    Controversy can be good or bad for the organization depending on the objectives and expected goal. It is better if the controversy spark conversations rather than make people uncomfortable. In the end, the controversy should be beneficial. When done correctly, it can spark debate and make the exhibit more interesting to talk about, additionally making it a conversation piece which as a result will gain recognition and create more buzz about the exhibit, thus marketing for the…

    Gross-Rosen: Concentration Camp During The Holocaust

    To me the Anne Frank exhibit stood out more because I felt as if I was seeing Anne's life more clearly. In addition, all of the Anne Frank films were very powerful because they were very comprehensible. The Anne Frank exhibit isn't only an exhibit,it teaches people about a young girl's life and how she survived three years in hiding. Also, I really liked The Museum of Tolerance because the gas chamber was a very powerful experience. I liked seeing how the gas chamber was very similar to how the Jews were experiencing that .To conclude, I am very thankful to have had the chance to go to The Museum of Tolerance because I learned so much and I felt in a way connected to Anne's life a bit…

    Ella Sharp Museum

    To start with I already mentioned the car and the ease to touch and to get in yes they probably have cameras on it but it is still possible to get in. Also the short rope guard rail can easily be reached under by little kids or even adults especially how close the artifacts are to the edge of the platform. Some of the objects easily accessible are dangerous like sharp rusted metal which is not good in a normal circumstance would be good to have near children but right in arm’s length right under the rope is a bad idea. I would say they don’t have the budget to put in a case because some objects are in glass cases but it easily can be hung on the wall more out of the way. They have clothing that I saw little kids playing with one of the coats which looked to be a 1920’s mink coat. That should be more protected than just sitting in the museum where anyone could touch it. My next problem there is one problem all the display cases are full except one on the physically challenged women the case is bare and looks almost thrown together last minute but my other problem with the display they have a Michigan flag in it but it was just shoved in the display like it was balled up and thrown in and left where and how it landed. The other side of this display also had a problem yes it is still a simple fix but it is still a proble for a display in a dim room that the light bulbs had burned out…

    Eth 316: Theories Of Ethics

    Individual actions are to support the goal of protecting the United States as a whole. A soldier who qualifies as an expert with the M-4 rifle is an example of virtue theory. The excellence of this soldier will increase the effectiveness of the team or company similar to utilitarianism. Obeying a direct order is part of the foundation of the Army. Shooting to kill in combat can go against an individual’s morals and ethics but deontology states duty is the primary factor regardless of individual belief.…

    This essay is about the Museum of tolerance: What I saw, How I felt and what did I leave the Museum thinking.

    The Museum of Tolerance is a place that not only is a home to a memoriam of the Holocaust but it also tries to break the barriers of racism, prejudices, and discrimination and tries to teach and incorporate in people that even though everyone is different, everyone shares a universal attribute, that each person around the world no matter their race, gender, country of origin, or choice of religion still bleeds red, feels pain and are human beings. As soon as people realize this fact and accept that no one set of people are better than the other, places like The Museum of Tolerance will not be needed but till then we need to remember what hatred, prejudices, discrimination and the inability to accept people for who they are has and can do to this world.…

    Museum Of Sex Research Paper

    I know that you are thinking, "Museum of Sex?! What was this person thinking?!" But I've been to most of the museums in the city - at least twice. I thought something new and refreshing would be good for me. Well, to tell you the truth, I've always wanted to go to the Museum of Sex. The curiosity of what it might contain, and the excitement of finally being old enough to go to this museum was so great, that my shameful embarrassment of even thinking of going to this museum was suppressed to the minimal. Also, the opportunity was there! Two of my guy friends were planning on going to the Museum of Sex that weekend and I thought to myself, ‘why not?' And that's…

    Ethics and The Truman Show

    In Psychological research, the importance of the building of trust and protection of individuals’ rights relies on the Code of Ethics. The Code of Ethics, compiled by The Australian Psychological Society (APS) provides guidelines that must be followed when working with people and animals in research situations and all other areas of professional practice (Grivas & Carter, 2005). The importance of maintaining several ethical standards is highlighted in the present discussion, with reference to the film The Truman Show (2008). The ethical standards include Confidentiality, Informed Consent, The Right to Withdraw and No Harm to Participants.…

    Museum of Tolerance

    I decided to do extra credit for a field trip to the Museum of Tolerance. On Sunday, March 13, I went to the Museum of Tolerance with my sister. The first thing I noticed was you can’t bring camera to the Museum of Tolerance. As for me, I love taking picture and I was very disappointed. However, I went inside to the Museum of Tolerance and I kind of understand why you can’t bring camera to the museum. The Museum of Tolerance, in my opinion, is one of the best museums that were ever created. It tells the story of Holocaust and shows how the Jewish people were treated during that time. The museum shows film footage of deportation scenes and simulated sets of concentration camps. Although the basis of the museum is the Holocaust, the museum also makes people face racism and prejudices. The museum is anything other than ordinary and it is a very educational experience that I had before Getty Museum.…

    African American Museum

    I firmly believe that the point of visiting a museum is to educate one on how things once were in the past through its display of artifacts, exhibits, art, cultural objects, etc. Its purpose is to let you imagine what it was like during a time you were not apart of or, in some cases, allow you to look back at a time you were apart of when you were very young. The African-American Museum of Long Island did a great job at presenting some of the many African-American contributions to society. In addition to presenting contributions from the African-American community, the museum was able to show us some of the struggle they were required to overcome as well.…

    The Role Of Ethics In The American Archivists

    The National Archives developed "The Archivist's Code" for intended use in the National Archives In-service Training Program and printed it in the American Archivist in 1955. It then served as a written guideline for archivists in America for many years. It provided reasonable regulations for professional judgments of archivists. In 1980, after further development, The Society for American Archivists approved the code into the first official code of ethics. More importantly, It is important for archivist to consider the historical and professional context of archival ethics, because ethics plays an important role in the selecting, transferring, and access of records for archivists, records managers, organizations and researchers, thus all…

    Documentary Ethics

    I think that Jacob Young did not even know why Jacob Young was making this film while in production. I know that he wanted to show the world Boone County. I know he desired to create a portrait of a few interesting individuals that resided there. But I don’t believe he truly knew what he was after until it began to form and take shape in post-production. Jacob states in the previous mentioned interview that, “I never know what movie I 've got until I start to edit it, which is why only I can edit my films.…
