First of all, to define the economic performance of Vietnam, I will use GDP or gross domestic product as a basic to evaluate its effectiveness. According to a research of World Bank (2012), Vietnam was ranked 42nd over 178 countries with GDP (PPP) of $320.879 billion.

Ethical Issues Relevant to DNP As the healthcare environment continues to become more multifaceted and challenging, the need for nursing practice specialists who also have know-how in ethics is obvious. “Issues related to social justice, allocation of healthcare resources and the futility of healthcare at the end of life are all examples of ethical scenarios that DNP graduates may find themselves facing in their various roles” (Chism, 2012). There are many ethical dilemmas that influence DNP practitioners' ability to provide quality care to all. As the opportunity and independence of DNP practice increases, so, too, will ethical dilemmas that directly influence this practice (Peirce & Smith, 2008).…

PASSION: Why am I here? As a child I was always attracted to the smaller, weakened animal I found in my yard, i.e. dying birds, kittens, bugs, etc. The animals we owned were never neutered which resulted in a numerous amount of puppies and kittens. I was intrigued by the cycle of life. Originally I wanted to become a veterinarian. The financial strain on my family made it apparent that it would not be possible. As fate would have it, there was a two year waiting list for nursing school, but I was readily accepted into a two year respiratory program. At the end of the respiratory program, I stayed for one more year to specialize in NICU.…
Ethical Dilemmas are very common in the workplace. Ethical Dilemmas can be seen as a controversial thing for the person who is right in the middle of it.

The other situation is about an employee during his spare time at work created a new spreadsheet program. There are consequences dealing with some of these dilemmas.…
This ethical dilemma paper I wanting to discuss the issue that I have seen in my current profession as a Nurse’s Aide. In my profession I have come across patients that have the active HIV/AIDS virus and have not told their partners, husband, or wife that they have this sexual incurable disease. Yet, because of laws that I am to abide by such as HIPAA I cannot release that information to their significant other without losing my job and being in violation of the law. It is important to have this information shared with people who may have contracted a disease that someone is morally in capable of sharing with someone that they calm to “love”. These people may be living with a disease that they may not know they have because of a law that is actually emplaced to help patients rather than hurt them. There are laws that are in place for physicians and laboratories to report local or state health departments the names of people newly diagnosed with AIDS However, because AIDS cases represent onset of the disease caused by HIV, HIV data is necessary to monitor the epidemic. These reporting requirements differ from state to state and under regulations some states protect the medical release of the information. (assn.org) The ethical questions still arises, is it ethical right to follow the law of protecting the patients’ medical privacy when it comes to information released their about AIDS status and is there a way around this HIPAA?…
The ethical dilemma presented in the case study examines if you would allow an innocent person to be charged with offense he did not commit. You have been asked to keep quiet by a friend, someone you have known for years. Although you are positive that your friends did not commit the act, you are sure there is an innocent person wrongfully accused.…
The Truth and Reconciliation Commission, however, also had its fair share of disadvantages. The main disadvantage was that many of the victims simply did not feel that justice had been conducted. The horrible reign of apartheid had lasted for a period of 45 years, and now the TRC was asking them to simply forget the wretched past. In the meantime, all the perpetrators of crimes from the era where walking away scot-free. To me, it just does not seem fair that these villains of such hate crimes can just walk away, and leave all their crimes unaccounted for. In addition, the blacks were not even able to receive any monetary form of compensation for all their years of segregation and ill treatment. Moreover, the TRC was asked to only look at the crimes that occurred between the years of 1960-1994, while in reality the Africans have suffered from white suppression ever since the earliest explorers. What happens to all the injustices that occurred in the hundreds of years before 1960? Also, the TRC experienced numerous difficulties and problems in their beginning phases of operation. As Tutu states, "Our meetings for the first year or so was hell. It was not easy to arrive at a common mind as each of us tried to stake our claims on the turf and establish our particular space." The early commission members "were as diverse a group of South Africans of that size that you could ever hope to assemble. We were Colored, Indian, African, and white, the entire racial spectrum in our race-obsessed society." All this diversity led to numerous voices and opinions on how the TRC should be run, which lead to many governing conflicts in the early stages.…
Many authors tried to understand the subject of corruption and its causes. Among them, the government weaknesses or shortcoming may lead to higher corruption since companies are not afraid of being apprehended (David Conklin, 2009). Besides, government officials with low wages and low educational levels will be more likely to accept illegal payments to survive but also because they do not realize the consequences for the nation’s economic development (David Conklin, 2009). Other reasons are given by the author like the widespread poverty, the possession of major reserves of natural resources, as being likely to influence positively the corruption. On top of that, the current literature identified a linear relationship between corruption and government regulations (Naved Ahmad, 2002) and it seems that higher degree of government regulations leads to higher levels of corruption. This is easily understandable. The more the companies need the intervention of the government to run a business (licenses and permits, control over procurement, contracts,…
Whether at home, at work, or at school, every day we are faced with making moral and ethical decisions.

Over the past several years, gays and lesbians have come out and openly voiced their sexuality. As a society, people have changed their attitudes and philosophies regarding homosexuality.…
In my life I have pondered over many ethical dilemmas, but I have found that I have a difficulty thinking deeply on these topics by myself. My answers are simple, but by themselves do not justify what they signify or how I came to them, only the end result. What I have found is that no matter what you believe in, whether or not it is true to yourself or others, you think with your actions. I am a reserved individual in that fact that I consider the beliefs and actions of others to be separate and not equal. For my own sake, this is what allows me to actually consider these dilemmas, while how I participate in one would be different.…
