#Ethical principles

[performing-personhood]

Empathy is very useful, but it's no substitute for actual ethical principles

The way the government treats homeless people and panhandlers ought to be evidence enough on its own that empathy doesn't always lead to ethical behavior. Middle and upper class people get uncomfortable seeing homeless people because seeing someone in a bad state triggers an uncomfortable empathic response. They feel bad seeing people suffering. But people respond by trying to remove the source of their discomfort just as often as they respond with compassion.

That's why cities respond with hostile architecture and brutality. They just need to make the problem invisible, and people stop complaining.

Empathy is very useful, but it's no substitute for actual ethical principles.

Ethical Issues in Therapy

When reading about “ethical issues related to multiple relationships in counseling practice,” I can't help but look back on my own childhood.

It is unethical for a therapist to accept the treatment of a child who they have a personal relationship with the parents. Informed consent is necessary or it becomes an ethical matter. Confidentiality is imperative when working with clients and making them feel safe. If a client does not feel safe enough to disclose information to the therapist, there is blatantly no therapist and client centered relationship. The therapist has a moral obligation to the client to refer them out to another therapist. 

At 14 years old, I was a Baker Acted. I woke up in the hospital with my family by my side, we were all understandably scared and angry. I was transferred from the emergency room to SandyPines Residential Treatment Center in Jupiter, FL. The doctor that treated me had multiple relationships with myself and my family. Prior to my stay in the treatment center, our families would spend weekends together, go fishing and deep sea scuba diving. This personal relationship compromised our  therapist - client relationship and devalued anything the therapist might have tried to implement. 

This multiple relationship was harmful and unethical. Since the therapist was a family friend and close with my parents, she was the last person I wanted to confide in. It’s unfortunate, because if that therapist acted ethically at that time, I may have had a better chance of being diagnosed earlier and not suffering for almost 25 more years with undiagnosed mental illness. I may have utilized the treatment instead of rebelled against it. 

What do you think of a parent using their friend as a therapist to intervene with their “disturbed” child?

The Golden Rule and Its Limitations: Navigating Ethical Challenges

The Golden Rule, which suggests treating others as you would like to be treated, is a fundamental ethical principle found in various forms in many cultures and religions. However, like any moral guideline, it has its limitations and challenges:

Assumption of Universality: The Golden Rule assumes that what one person wants or considers ethical is equally applicable to others. It can neglect the diversity of values and preferences in different individuals and cultures.

Projection of Personal Preferences: People might apply the Golden Rule based on their own preferences, assuming others share the same desires. This projection of personal values can lead to misunderstandings or even harm.

Cultural and Individual Differences: Cultures and individuals vary significantly in their values and expectations. What is considered respectful or kind in one culture may be considered rude or offensive in another. This can create misunderstandings when applying a one-size-fits-all rule.

Imposition of Values: The Golden Rule can inadvertently impose one person's values on another. It might not account for situations where people have different needs, desires, or values.

Reciprocity Assumption: The rule assumes that individuals reciprocate kindness and respect. However, this isn't always the case. Kindness may not always be met with kindness, leading to disappointment.

Subjectivity: The rule relies on each person's subjective interpretation of how they wish to be treated. This subjectivity can lead to ambiguity and miscommunication.

Overlooking Power Dynamics: In situations where there are power imbalances, such as in employer-employee relationships or international politics, applying the Golden Rule without considering these dynamics may perpetuate inequality.

Lack of Specificity: The rule lacks specificity and guidance for complex moral dilemmas. It doesn't offer clear answers to challenging ethical questions.

Context Matters: The appropriateness of a specific action can depend on the context. What might be considered kind in one situation may not be in another.

Ethical Relativism: Some critics argue that the Golden Rule can contribute to ethical relativism, where individuals justify their actions based on their perspective of what they would want in a given situation.

While the Golden Rule provides a valuable starting point for ethical decision-making, it should be applied with sensitivity to the context and with an understanding of its limitations. It's just one tool in the broader landscape of ethical philosophy, and its application should be considered alongside other ethical principles and cultural norms.

Value Competence

School’s values and the teacher’s ethical principles in your own studies and in teaching At the University of Oulu, there are ethical principles, link. rules and regulations openly available for stake holders, link. For example, as a teacher I have read and understand these rules and regulations: the right to a safe and equal learning and working environment. In fact, from personal experience…

[prokopetz]

What I really appreciate about The Talos Principle 2 is that big chunks of its writing genuinely read like they were written by someone who's personally had to justify the discipline of philosophy to a STEM major. "There exists an implicit moral algorithm in the structure of the cosmos, but actually solving that algorithm to determine the correct course of action in any given circumstance a priori would require more computational power than exists in the universe. Thus, as we must when faced with any computationally intractable problem, we fall back on heuristic approaches; these heuristics are called 'ethics'." is a fascinating way of framing it, but then I ask why would you explain it like that, and every possible answer is hilarious.
