Explain how the organization addresses an issue and its decisions and actions.

Most important thing i need you to know is that english is not my first language so write it in that level. Goals of Assignment 3: Independently, you will examine how organizations in the real world solve ethical problems related to distributive justice through a Complex (Social) #SystemAnalysis. Your goal is to apply #EthicalConsiderations and #EthicalJudgment to your chosen organization’s decisions and activities.
Step 1: Select the Organization
Select a UAE-based organization focused on a distributive justice issue. This means that your organization should focus on a social justice issue (e.g., access to education, clean water, and health services). You may select a (1) volunteer organization, (2) a non-profit organization, OR (3) a public-service organization in the UAE whose work focuses on some distributive justice topic.
Some examples include but are not limited to, are:
Emirates Down Syndrome Association (EDSA)
A non-profit organization based in the UAE that supports and empowers individuals with Down Syndrome and their families.
Dubai Cares
A non-profit organization that works to improve access to quality education in developing countries. Their work includes building schools, providing teacher training, and supporting innovative education programs that promote equity and social justice.
Emirates Foundation
A non-profit organization that works to empower youth and promote social entrepreneurship in the UAE
Gulf for Good
A charity organization that organizes adventure challenges and expeditions to raise funds for various social causes.
Thrift for Good
A thrift shop that aims to reduce clothing waste and help children, in partnership with Gulf for Good.
Senses Residential and Day Care for Special Needs
The first residential care facility in the Middle East that provides people of determination 24/7 care.
Step 2: Organization Overview
Once you have selected your organization, introduce it and apply #SystemAnalysis to describe the organization and its operations clearly. Identify the distributive justice issue the organization aims to address with a precise application of #Purpose. In relation to its #Purpose, explain how the organization addresses an issue and its decisions and actions. You may consider using media sources, which must be cited, to provide an example of the organization’s activities.
Step 3: Assessment of Frameworks #EthicalConsiderations
Using your classroom materials, identify the #EthicalConsiderations by understanding the actions of your selected organization through at least two ethical frameworks. You must select ethical frameworks covered in this course to understand your selected social justice issue.
Identify the ethical dilemma that your organization is concerned with. Interpret the issue through the different ethical frameworks. If your organization is clearly using an ethical framework, clearly state and explain that. Then, compare it to another framework. If it is unclear which framework the organization is using, present the issue through the two or more ethical frameworks you see suitable. As you consider each ethical framework, use your knowledge of #SystemAnalysis to help you identify ethical conflicts, effects, tensions, and implications that may arise when addressing the social justice issue.

Step 4: Stance and Defense #EthicalJudgment
After considering the different frameworks, decide which ethical framework should be followed by weighing the relevant ethical considerations in light of the situation. Exercise your ethical judgment by defending your considered position by considering and addressing alternatives and counter-arguments and identifying courses of action that best advance that position in the given circumstances.
Step 5: Conclusion
In this section, you will briefly summarize the key points made in this assignment. Note that you should also go beyond merely summarizing what you previously said. Reflect on the information that you have acquired and come to new conclusions based on that information.
For instance:
Does the organization’s ability to solve its issue (or not) tell us something else about the complex system (e.g., city, emirate, society) that it is embedded in?
Do you think the organization could act in different ways? What would better solve the issue and resolve the ethical conflicts and issues it faces?
Are there any barriers or challenges that the organization faces when attempting to address this distributive justice issue, and how can these be overcome?

SystemAnalysis: Analyze and apply decompositions of systems into constituent parts at multiple levels of analysis.
#SystemAnalysis
Analyze and apply decompositions of systems into constituent parts at multiple levels of analysis.
Complex systems can be deconstructed in a variety of ways that define both the scope of the system as well as the relevant attributes of its components (in social systems, most commonly, people). Thus, the key part of deconstructing a system is conceptualizing its constituent parts in several ways in order to choose or synthesize the ‘mapping’ of the system that is most appropriate for addressing the explanatory challenge. To understand and explain the characteristics and behavior of complex systems, one may conduct this research on different scales, or levels of analysis. Of particular interest are social systems, which can roughly be divided into an individual, or micro level, a group, or meso level, and a system, or macro level. For many of the questions we’re interested in, an explanation that is situated on one level of analysis may be insufficient on its own to address the explanatory challenge, and a multilevel analysis is necessary.
Example
You work at a hospital that’s trying to reduce spending. Your manager asks you to make a diagram showing the structure of the organization to identify inefficiencies. You are contemplating how to create this diagram. You first choose to represent the organization by separating it into different departments because the employees within each work together closely, and therefore are expected to share some norms and views about the organizations. While this decomposition reveals the dynamics of interactions between large groups such as the lack of communication between the medical staff in different departments or between the medical and cleaning staff, there are no obvious inefficiencies. You then decide to deconstruct the system by focusing on the roles of individuals and find that each department has its own educational campaigning function and that there is little communication between those working on educational campaigns in different departments. It turns out that there is a large amount of money being spent on educational campaigns overall. This was not obvious when the system was deconstructed by department because education campaigns are funded by each department separately, at relatively low cost. You advise making educational campaigns a central process, consolidating common costs and being able to prioritize what should be budgeted.
Purpose: Identify and evaluate underlying goals and the values on which they are based, as well as the guiding principles that determine how an individual or group will try to attain these goals.
#Purpose
Identify and evaluate underlying goals and the values on which they are based, as well as the guiding principles that determine how an individual or group will try to attain these goals.
Projects and initiatives frequently fail when they lack a clear and principled purpose. Identifying the purpose of an individual or group (including, but not limited to, formal organizations) is critical for evaluating their actions—or one’s own. To construct an individual’s or group’s purpose, it is useful to articulate the underlying values that guide and constrain our goals. Moreover, successful outcomes also depend on articulating operating procedures, or guiding principles, consistent with the values and goals.
Example
The purpose of the non-profit organization that you want to volunteer in is “to create a radically inclusive, just and loving community, mobilized to alleviate suffering and break the cycles of poverty and marginalization.” As you interrogate the organization and talk to its founders, you learn that one of their core values is the notion that all people deserve to be respected and empowered equally (‘radically inclusive’), as well as a commitment to kind and pleasant interactions (‘loving community’). Another core value is an egalitarian conception of social justice, according to which the way to respect and empower everyone equally is to ensure there are social conditions in place that prevent people from succumbing to poverty (‘breaking the cycle of poverty and marginalization’). These values underlie their monthly goal of serving at least 60,000 meals to those who may otherwise go hungry. Likewise, their operating procedures reflect these values and goals as they give out free meals daily to anyone who comes to their walk-in center.
EthicalConsiderations: Identify ethical problems, framing them in a way that helps to resolve them.
#EthicalConsiderations
Identify ethical problems, framing them in a way that helps to resolve them.
Many decisions involve ethical considerations, even if those aren’t apparent at first glance. To act ethically, we must first recognize the ethical dimensions of our actions, and that, in turn, may involve identifying relevant ethical values or theories and explaining how they apply to the situation at hand. Ethical values define core commitments that form the foundation of an ethical outlook, which ascribe value to ideas like equality, freedom, life, security, happiness, privacy, and so forth. A commitment to ethical values gives rise to ethical considerations that may include, for example, people’s rights, duties, welfare, intentions, or inclinations. Ethical theories account for hierarchies of values and ways to determine what we ought to do, given those values, also known as principles. Such theories include, for example, deontology, utilitarianism, virtue ethics, care ethics, Buddhist ethics, Confucianism, and so on. Ethical theories could be useful to draw on when articulating ethical considerations though it is not necessary to have a complete theory in order to articulate and justify ethical considerations.
Example
After graduation with a double major in arts and humanities and computer science, you find a great job in a small but exciting game design studio. Your company’s most successful game is a puzzle-like competitive murder mystery game called WhoSolvedItFirst that has hundreds of people try to solve a puzzle mystery in real time before others do.ⓒ Recently the game went viral following a clip of a tiktok influencer and everyone has been working nights to keep up with the demand. The CEO has called a meeting to brainstorm ways to reduce workload while maintaining the success. The main goal is to monetize the game in a sustainable way. In the meeting, you’re very impressed with the creative ideas presented. When it’s your turn, near the end, you suddenly ask everyone – does it matter that our users are mostly 11-13 years old? Like many other plans, yours relies heavily on many microtransactions (many opportunities for buying in-game features for small amounts of money) and that now makes you uneasy. Your question stirred a lively discussion as some say children users require special protections while others said that microtransactions are manipulative even when users are adults. The CEO says that a core value of the company is to make products that celebrate joy and creativity rather than addiction and frustration, and tasks you to research the ethical considerations of microtransactions.In the memo you’re preparing for the CEO, you consider the different issues with microtransactions in general and those that are specific to children users. In general, microtransactions are accused of being manipulative-they ‘trick’ people into buying things they wouldn’t want or didn’t really agree to. You summarize research on the psychology of impulse purchasing and the design tricks of deception called ‘dark patterns.’ You conclude that a key value is informed consent and that the company needs to decide what exactly that means. Turning to the issue of children, you find that children are particularly vulnerable to manipulations as well as claims that children under a certain age cannot at all give informed consent because their brain hasn’t yet fully developed. Relatedly, you find a host of issues relating to parental control. Some apps rely on features offered by the mobile device while others involve parents’ permission directly. Summarizing this section of your memo you conclude that the key question is whether, and to what extent, kids’ consent is limited in its reach and specifically, what role should parents/guardians be required to play in the process of getting children’s consent.
EthicalJudgment: Resolve conflicts among competing ethical claims and act in a way that best satisfies relevant ethical considerations.
#EthicalJudgment
Resolve conflicts among competing ethical claims and act in a way that best satisfies relevant ethical considerations.
Ethical questions can be difficult to answer, and one may feel torn in the face of dilemmas that involve trade-offs of morally valuable outcomes, as the case when circumstances force us to choose between equality and freedom or privacy and security. To act ethically in the face of dilemmas, one must exercise ethical judgment by weighing the relevant ethical considerations in light of the situation, and arrive at a considered and justified position. Furthermore, exercising ethical judgment requires defending our considered position by considering and addressing alternatives and counter-arguments, as well as identifying courses of action that best advance that position in the given circumstances.
Example
A mass shooting has recently taken place and a suspect is in custody. He refuses to give his passwords for his laptop and cellphone, which authorities believe contains information relevant to this attack and other imminent ones. The suspect himself has shared videos where he threatens that other attacks are forthcoming. The government has asked the company that sells the phone and laptop to find a way to break into the phone, but the company is hesitant because it prides itself on prioritizing the security and privacy of its customers. As a concerned citizen, you think through the case. You recognize that an appropriate resolution to the case must address the individual rights to privacy of consumers of technology, as well as the rights for bodily integrity of the citizens who might be hurt by any future attacks. Considering the value of privacy against the importance of bodily harm, you consider that though privacy of information is incredibly important it cannot override the risk of bodily harm given that the evidence you’ve looked at suggests that the likelihood of specific and actionable information is high. However, as you consider the issue further you note that these individual rights are not considered in a vacuum but in the context of government action, which raises questions about the extent to which the government has a duty, or even the right, to pursue what it believes is in the community’s interests. You also realize that a part of the answer to that question lies in the legitimacy of the government, which depends on the quality of the democratic procedure that got it elected. In this case, you conclude that despite its flaws the political process that brought this government to power is sufficiently democratic so that this conflict of rights could rightly be adjudicated by the contest of views among and between the rightly elected officials and the relevant institutions. And yet… as you continue to consider the relevant fact you realize that a flaw in the position that you’ve just considered is that the government power to violate privacy does not just apply to citizens of that country that take part in the flawed but perhaps sufficient democratic process but to people all over the world, most of whom have no representation in the process and many of whom are likely to be discriminated against by the government’s action and have their rights violated without justified cause. You therefore conclude that even though in this particular case it the interest of bodily harm outweigh the right to privacy, giving this power to this particular government would set a precedent that risks the rights of many people – not just to privacy but also against discrimination, unjust detainment, bodily harm and many others. You therefore conclude that the company ought not acquiesce to the government’s demand.
