Weak paternalism is much easier to justify.

Strong paternalism is just like a dictatorship rule where the paternalist forms his/her own opinion without considering any factors or reasons. It is a more aggressive approach which would lead to unfavourable results and feeling of insecurity between the team. In this there could be a good chance that recipient was exercising his moral agency effectively but his decision powers were overrided because of strong paternalistic approach.

Where as in weak paternalism is quite a calm approach where all the factors or reasons are looked upon. The reasons are examined thoroughly and then the paternalist overrides the power of recipient. As all the factors are looked upon beforehand therefore it creates a sense of trust between the paternalist and recipient . It leads to a positive environment between the organisation or team. May be other team members or other people would learn from the reason and do not practise in future.

Hence weak paternalism is easier to justify.

Which of the following are the shortcomings of a code of ethics formulated by “professional engineering society”? (1) These codes are not formulated with sincere scholarship or expertise and are often a hostage to economic interests. (2) Most practicing engineers do not belong to any professional engineering society, so the codes cannot properly reach out to them. (3) Such codes, at best represent the highest ethical common denominator among those to who it applies, therefore, it may include provisions which...
