Ethical Challenges in the Practice of Journalism in Nigeria| Chapter 6 | Current Approaches in Science and Technology Research Vol. 1

 Since philosophers formed and dedicated themselves to the study of why human beings behave the way they do, as well as the repercussions of such behaviors, the notion of ethics has increased in prominence, as well as complexity and disagreement. Because journalism is a public-spheric profession in which truth, fairness, feeling of duty, and contemplation of likely repercussions are all important, it will continue to be at the center of such intricate and controvertible arguments for a long time. combine to establish how an activity will proceed. The goal of this research is to look at the ethical difficulties that obstruct journalism in Nigeria. Using secondary data, this paper explores the subject matter in relation to the key causes that orchestrate journalists' vulnerability to such challenges. Finally, the study concludes that using the "SAD" formula is a panacea for overcoming the plethora of ethical difficulties that Nigerian journalists encounter on a regular basis while performing their job.

Studies on Beliefs, Values and Morals: The Philosophical Underpinnings of Dysthanasia | Chapter 8 | New Horizons in Education and Social Studies Vol. 6

 Though abstract principles are deeply embedded in the sub-consciousness of every adult human, beliefs, values, and morals constitute a moral structure whose implementation oversees every activity in our daily lives. In medical practise, ethical dilemmas are associated with end-of-life procedures, care, and prognosis, which are defined in accordance with individual or collective beliefs and values. Dysthanasia, from Greek, means making death impossible, and it is an ethical dilemma with essential implications at the moment. Given that death itself has two moments, the death process and the time of death, dysthanasia is the excessive prolongation of the death process with the aid of technological devices that allow procedures to sustain life. Although it is through technical developments that the moment of death can be postponed, it is the ideals and values that are profoundly rooted in the physicians' subconscious that are responsible for the mindset of ethical dilemmas at the end of life. Beliefs and values, when included in fields such as information phenomenology, technology dialectics, conflicts of values, existentialism and metaphysics, can somehow explain this present, evolving, and compelling question. Beliefs and beliefs are an individual's abstract notions. Because of its wide acceptance, ideals and principles become the foundation of every area that frames cultures as they transcend the limits of self and are enfolded by society.
