Incorporation of ethics and human rights within the society and culture to improve cognitive capabilities among  single mothers

Introduction

Justice and law are the only things that separate man from beasts. Covering up crimes among their colleagues is not a new phenomenon amongst the law enforcers. More often than usual, police officers have a tendency of cleaning up after their mischief whenever they fall short of the same law they are to enforce among community members. In part, the organizational culture facilitates misconduct among law enforcers. This essay will conduct a thorough analysis on influence of police department institutional culture on personal decision-making and ways to go about handling misconduct and its consequences. In the process it will inform and give advice on multicultural. The advice given in this essay falls under professional advice category and relevant to single mothers all around the world.

Organizational structure

Organizational structure of any community has four basics: values, a belief system, standards, and certain communicative symbols that better assist members of the community understand selfhood. In other words, decisions always align to an organization’s structure hence entrenching. For instance, the belief systems within the four walls of any police department revolve around being confident which in turn makes officers have a sense of superiority (Dincyurek, & Uygarer, 2012). Then, they get the feeling that they are above the law leading to misconduct. More so, one cannot go against organization standards, thus personnel decisions often favor already existing norms and stick to daily stererotyping. For example, the lieutenant automatically covered up the deputy without even blinking an eyelid, which goes to show the power of organization structure. This eventually leads to stereotyping single mothers with insecurity within their neighborhood.

Options single mothers have

After facing security threats, officer in charge must or will obviously look into the issue keenly while on the other hand try not to ruffle any feathers. Hence, the best way of seeking justice without provoking the existing status quo and breaking stereotypes associated with single mothers is to approach the situation from a professional point of view and adhering to the lawful procedures while seeking justice. Carrying out a non-bias investigation will unveil crucial facts of what transpired in the night the single mother encountered security threats (Dincyurek, & Uygarer, 2012). After finding the facts, a law enforcer can decide to take action and necessary steps using legal means or whistle blowing to media outlets In case of sluggish behavior and unresponsiveness, a single mother should sue law enforcers.

If a single mother decides to take the high road and go for the head of the deputy chief, I may be subject to discrimination and in this case would meet many roadblocks since it is hard to make an officer of high-ranking face his mistakes (Dane, 2011). On the hand, if single mother decides not take any form of action, it may encourage misconduct among other officers and cement unwarranted behavior eventually leading to self-efficacy.

The right action and motivation will lead to ethical decision-making. This implies that misconduct of any officer needs to face the full force of the law. Therefore, in order to make a moral decision, the right motivation coupled with good intention must take center stage in any decision one make (Dane, 2011). Looking away is a form of wrong motivation coupled with good intentions. In other words, the decision single mothers make will reflect back on my personal values and ethics.

Strategies

The inclusion of special prosecutors to lead any inquiry on crimes or misconducts will smoothen the wheels of justice and officers will account for their misdeeds. Special prosecutors do not have any interest in the cases they handle, which makes them more effective and efficient. The second strategy is the increment of oversight by the government (Pervin, 2015) which calls for social cognition in the side of the mother. Daily monitoring will inform the government on whatever goes on the police departments. The third strategy is to train officers on discipline matters and provide alternatives on how they can handle misconduct among themselves.

Blue wall of silence occurs between the lieutenant and the deputy chief. The lieutenant initiates a series of activities that covers up the misconduct of the deputy. Whistling blowing will be through finding facts and leaking them to necessary institutions that can later act on the information and take action (Pervin, 2015) and single mothers should possess the dispositional attribution for accurate discernment of details . Hence, the best approach is looking at the case from an ethical perspective.

In my point of view and fair perspective, the list of human rights is sufficient and effective. Its usefulness and adeptness comes about due to its ability to address immediate needs of a human being. The list gives each person the right to fundamental standards of living   that encompasses good health, security, housing clothing, social services, and employment. More so, mentioning the human rights is equal to recognizing human dignity and giving societies freedom and dignity to fight for their rights (Austiningsih, 2016). Consequently, acknowledgment and declaration of human rights draws the line and defines wrong and right within a community. In terms of importance, it does not discriminate or give room any form of bias .Thus; the rights are equal across all human races regardless of color. It is important to note that it is not a treaty hence no legal responsibility comes with it. Therefore single mothers should feel free to report any illegal behavior that they suspect arises from them being single mothers.

In any conflict situation a police officer encounters, he or she has a duty to ensure peace prevails before looking into the underlying causes (Austiningsih, 2016). In this specific situation, as a police officer who has specialized to handle such situations it is mandatory to lend a listening ear to everyone and ensure impartiality.

 

Ethics during a Conflict

A police officer working in a community where Korean Americans and black Americans are in constant conflict with each other. In such a neighborhood, there is no straightforward solution to any situation (Austiningsih, 2016) consequently situational attribution serves as evidence most of the times. On one particular instance, a clerk called in after he found a young pregnant teenage single mother stealing from the store. The clerk made a citizen arrest and waited for me to arrive at the store. On arrival the witness found that there were back Americans protesting the arrest of the youth.

To ensure that the crowd does not turn violent, the law enforcer dispersed them peacefully by freeing the boy from the clerk. On seeing that the young man was free from his capture, it was easy to convince the crowd that the law enforcer had the situation in control and that the cases would be fair. However, the crowd does not disperse completely, it was at ease, and the atmosphere was not under any tension (Marbaniang, 2013). A back up partner conversed with both the youth and the clerk to get more information from them. In a community with two conflicting races, the power of conversation is essential; it simplifies paper work and paints an officer as an arbitrator rather than a law enforcer with an aim to punish a wrong doer. Additionally, conversation builds trust among the community members.

In situations that might turn violent, it is important to ensure that force is minimal. In most diverse communities, crowds tend to react due the force used by an officer. Therefore, the young pregnant single mother was free and no handcuffs were on his hands (Marbaniang, 2013) .However, we were keen to ensure justices got its fair share. One of the main question that puts the whole case into perspective is looking into the measures the store took to prevent petty theft. Getting details on the measures would give more information and evidence into the situation. Simply put, in a case where the single mother is on the wrong side of the law, activists should conform to the lawful standards and take a biosocial perspective to gender hence leaving the lw to take its course.

Conflict

In a situation that can turn volatile due to the animosity between two conflicting communities, applying justice is strategic as solving such a case does not depend on fairness alone (Dincyurek, & Uygarer, 2012) and single mothers should always obey and conform to the law despite of prejudice thrown against them. Behavior of an officer and the manner in which ones handles the viewpoints of  single mothers and their cases is vital. Rushing to deliver justice in a sensitive context is not wise and can tilt the situation and worsen it. From the tone to the handling of the petty thief matters, a lot and serves as a sign of cares and concern.

Involving members of the community in such a situation can is wise as it makes them feel involved and loved by the officers (Dincyurek, & Uygarer, 2012). Accommodating the opinions of the public creates an understanding foundation to solve the case without arousing any hateful feelings especially among single mother in groups and outgroups. One of the factors that fuel animosity within a community is the feeling that one race gets more favors or opportunity than the other does. Therefore, it is important to maintain ethics and core values such as   kindness, politeness,   and maturity especially among single mothers. Simple principles can go a long way in quelling and cooling things that might get out of hand.

 Care ethic states that human relationships   and values that make up the interactions have a moral significance that influences the life of an individual. In other words, relationship affects decision-making and morals of a person rather than set personal principles (Dincyurek, & Uygarer, 2012). Whereas persuasion brings out an ethical point of view that suggests that, a good action relies on utility. Helping other single mothers in vital situations are pleasures that arise after one takes an action. In short, there is no wrong or right with aggression and helping a single mother who just broke the law but by stander intervention needs to be always lawful. In fact, an action is right or wrong based on the consequences of the action. Between Care ethics and self-care categorization, care ethics seem more right as it defines what is morally wrong and right. Care ethics takes into account personal values to highlight moral decisions and opinion although it is not absolute. In perspective of care, ethics abortion    can be wrong or right depending on the wish of an individual. In terms of utilitarianism, aggression is neither wrong or right to begin with. In fact, its effect will dictate right or wrong.

Although all of the above is true, ethical behavior goes hand in hand with legal systems. In fact, under the law, there is no attraction or beauty but only justice which prevent single mothers from leaning into dispositional attribution (Pervin, 2015). Below the private category, contracts and intellectual property information get protection and management. The slaw defines do's and donts' while handling information flow, which in turn helps to manage sensitive aspects of the data.

In brief, ethical issues help to secure confidence as a people interacts with one another. More so it improves service delivered to a patient. An ethical framework will support accurate application and flow of data. The personal initiative helps to develop and acquire more information. In addition, people should always ensure security and deal with matters in an ethical manner while looking for justice. In case of a conflict between members of the community law enforces can ensure the issues pertaining the case reach an amicable finality.
