Your boss, the Director of Human Resources at a prominent healthcare organization, has asked you to prepare a brief PowerPoint presentation as part of her presentation to new employees during orientation. Your PowerPoint is to familiarize new staff from all departments with the most common clinical and healthcare management terminology which they will be exposed to and expected to use on their new job.

What information will you include in your PowerPoint slides? What notations will you make in the speakers notes for your boss to stress? How will you organize the material so that it will be presented in an effective and memorable fashion for these new employees who are just being exposed to terminology that you use on a daily basis?

This week we are discussing the topic of ethics and morality when it comes to human sexuality.  With that in mind, please choose one of these two topics: Prostitution or Pornography  which many consider a moral issue. 

Read the required reading: Ethical Decision Making and then apply the Ethical Problem Solving Model to your topic answering the 5 questions. Please see the model outlined below.

Ethical Problem Solving Model
Answer the five questions when trying to resolve a moral issue:

What benefits and what harms will each course of action produce, and which alternative will lead to the best overall consequences?
What moral rights do the affected parties have, and which course of action best respects those rights?
Which course of action treats everyone the same, except where there is a morally justifiable reason not to, and does not show favoritism or discrimination?
Which course of action advances the common good?
Which course of action develops moral virtues?
Remember that all situations are unique and not one set of rules applies in all cases. (Velasquez, Andre, Shanks, & Meyer, 2015)
