At the City of Hillton – a large organization that you and your group analyzed as the term assignment – a different set of values is taking over from the long-standing culture of stability. It is correct to say that the emerging set of values, norms and assumptions: 

Supervisor Marc T. wants to allow his small group of 7 employees to leave early on a Friday because there is not much work to do. While chatting with the manager, Marc suggests this idea as a benefit that matches the organizational slogan: “Employees come first”. Marc’s manager replied: “Are you looking for a good review from employees? Because you are soft. Never give in to that sort of pressure from employees”. Marc attempts to explain further but the manager takes an incoming telephone call which interrupts their chat. Marc clearly sees: 

Everyone can enhance their power and influence by effectively using one or more contingencies of power. Recently, flight attendants walked off the job (strike action) and on August 2, all 494 of Westjet’s scheduled flights were cancelled that day. This situation is a good example of which contingency of power?  

Consider the ethical dilemma below (a real case). The parents–devout Catholics–would not agree with the hospital’s recommendation of immediate elective separation.Apply the four conditions/criteria of the double effect doctrine (DED) and discuss how the doctrine would likely evaluate the hospital’s recommendation—–A 34-year-old woman with no other children became pregnant. At four months, an ultrasound revealed conjoined twins. The physician ordered magnetic resonance imaging, which revealed significant problems with the pregnancy. The smaller of the twins was not expected to survive. The parents, because of their religious belief that “everyone has a right to life”, declined the option to abort/terminate the pregnancy. The pregnancy was allowed to continue for 42 weeks before delivery by cesarean section. The combined birth weight of the conjoined infants was 13.2 pounds. Both infants (we’ll call J and M) were immediately intubated. They were conjoined/linked at the pelvis with fused spines and spinal cords, and with four legs. J, the healthier of the two, had an anatomically normal brain, heart, lungs, and liver. She shared a common bladder and a common aorta with M. M was severely abnormal in three aspects: brain, heart, and lungs. She had a very poor “primitive” brain. Her heart was vastly enlarged, very dilated, and poorly functioning. There was a virtual absence of functional lung tissue. M was not capable of independent survival. She lived on borrowed time, all of which was borrowed from J.There were three medical options/choices available:No procedure to separate the twins (they would remain conjoined no matter what); physicians believed that death of both twins was certain, probably within 3–6 months or at best in a few yearsEmergency separation (= leaving the twins conjoined until a medical emergency involving one or both of them developed). Prognosis would be markedly reduced in the event of M’s death or cardiac arrest of J, with mortality projected at 60% for J, 100% for M.Immediate elective separation. In the hospital’s view, this would lead to M’s death but give J the opportunity of a “separate good quality life”. There was a 5%–6% chance of J’s death at separation. J would subsequently require several operations for bladder and genital repairs. She also had musculoskeletal abnormalities which would require future surgical intervention. Separation would allow J “to participate in normal life activities appropriate to her age and development.”⚠️ Reminder: This Learning Evaluation is a CLOSED-BOOK, CLOSED-NOTE, CLOSED-INTERNET.The use of any unauthorized aid is strictly prohibited.
