The more experience a facilitator has with a minority group, the greater the likelihood the facilitator will be able to help those members feel included, rather than excluded from the group process. This is critical, because inclusion is an important social phenomenon. "Communities who are strong and inclusive lead to better quality of life, stronger sense of identity and belonging, sharing mutual respect and equality. It is further recognised that a cohesive and inclusive community is one where there is a common vision and sense of belonging for all communities; the diversity of people's different backgrounds and circumstances are appreciated and positively valued; those from different backgrounds have similar life opportunities and strong and positive relationships are being developed between people from different backgrounds in the workplace, in schools and within neighbourhoods" (Holland & Ousey, 2011). Inclusiveness would seem particularly critical in a therapeutic environment, because group members who…...

Ethical Issues Involved in Psychological Assessments
It is important to note from the onset that those who seek the intervention of a psychologist either do so at their own behest or are sent by other people, i.e. attorneys, relatives, or employers. Over time, numerous challenges psychologists contend with in the course of conducting assessments have been identified and widely discussed. For this reason, the relevance of conducting an evaluation of the various ethical issues involved in psychological assessments cannot be overstated.

To be regarded true professionals, psychologists must be aware of the various ethical challenges they are likely to face in their day-to-day interactions with clients and/or their sponsors. While in some cases they could find solutions to the ethical challenges they face by relying on mere personal intuition or via consultations with other professionals in the same field, psychologists must not forget that there are several ethical principles and guidelines that…...

Ethical Issues in Family and Marital Therapy
It has been mentioned that insufficiencies of the APA ethical standards for marriage and family therapy have not been appreciated fully. Guidelines that are in regards to the therapist accountability, confidentiality, and informed consent can really just sometimes turn out to be unclear with individual clients, nevertheless they are even more complex when multiple family associates are observed together when they are in therapy. Question come up such as who are the clients? How is confidential material being used? Do all the family members have an equivalent right to not want the treatment? What is the function of the therapist's standards vies-a-vis inconsistent morals of family members? Deliberation of these questions in relations of their ethical insinuations is multifaceted and contentious. Nevertheless the answers to these queries must also take into consideration legal and clinical considerations, which can sometimes run an impact course with…...

South Africa consequently had to arrange for a down payment of $600 million at a rate perceived to be extraordinarily high. It was too late for the country to induce any negotiations of the deal. Serious agreements ensued thus maneuvering South Africa to pay back much of the nation's hard currency debt in a short period. This led to the emergence of a new democratic regime stemming from an intense decade of internal turmoil. This placed a strong constraint on balancing the payments. In the period of 1993 and 1999, a formidable movement of labor groups, NGOs, and churches led protests against the repayment of the apartheid debts. Instead, they lobbied for rapid reparations for those who had previously been discriminated (Mercer 44).

The truth is that while some issues have been addressed in regards to ethical considerations in the health care practice that in reality the issues are still presently being identified for the largest part and as reported in this work legislation has addressed some issues relating to information privacy and discrimination yet in many areas of the medical practice and the use of information technology, the ethical considerations are still being examined and disseminated.

It will require some hands-on use of many of these technologies and some time as well in order that health care professions understand what the ethical considerations really entail and before they are able to formulate solutions addressing these ethical concerns. Likely to be a factor of primary importance is the…...

Now that people interact with social media on their wireless phones, that opens up a whole new series of issues, hence those involved in the law and with the ethical issues will "need to abandon some of the presumptions we once made in e-contracting in light of peoples' changing behavior" (Moringiello).
Meanwhile, what exactly constitutes Internet abuse in the workplace and what role does ethics play? There are some working definitions, such as "cyberloafing," "Internet recreation," "cyberslacking" for leisure or simply "Internet abuse" (Lee, et al., 2008, p. 39). For some researchers Internet abuse is the "personal or unauthorized use of the company's network for an individual pleasure or non-work purposes" (Lee, 39). No matter how it is defined, it is clear that workers who surf the eb during work hours cause "productivity loss" and they open the door for the "vulnerability of information systems security from insiders as well…...

Ethical Issues in Criminal Justice esearch
Ethical issues in terms of research are sometimes difficult to pinpoint, but all are made in order to ensure defendant's constitutional rights and to protect any other research participants from potential harm. Many researchers note that the basis for ethical research in criminal justice is the focus on upholding accurate data reporting and the placement of strong ethical leadership within the workplace. Both of which are detailed in Gail hineberger's 2006 article from the Journal of Criminal Justice Education entitled "esearch methods and research ethics coverage in criminal," and in Kevin Wright's 1999 article from the Journal of Criminal Justice Ethics entitled, "Leadership is the key to ethical practice in criminal justice agencies."

Ethical Issues in Nursing
Over the last ten years, the demand for long-term care services has been facing increasing amounts of pressure. Part of the reason for this is because of the large portion of the population that is becoming older (the aby oomers). As they have the potential to cause the overall amounts of demand to increase dramatically. Evidence of this can be seen with information compiled by the Government Accounting Office. Where, they found that the total number of people requiring long-term care services will double by the year 2050. As the costs for this care will increase to $379 billion, this is above the total amount spent in 2000 of $179 billion. (Walker, 2002) This is significant, because it shows how long-term care is going become a major part of all health care expenditures in the future. As a result, there are number of unique ethical challenges that…...

Ethical Issues involved with "On Being Sane in Insane Places"
L Rosenhan's On Being Sane in Insane Places was both a historic and ground-breaking research study which provided invaluable information on the views of mental health professionals toward their patients. (Rosenhan, 1973) In this revealing study, several researchers, who had never displayed any abnormal behavior in their pasts, admitted themselves into a variety of mental health facilities and studied the behavior of the staffs of these institutions toward their patients. hat these pseudo-patient researchers discovered rocked the scientific community by exposing those who treat mentally ill patients often have preconceived notions toward their patients and their behavior. The stigma of being labeled as "mentally ill" often clouded the staff's evaluation of the behavior of the pseudo-patients. And once labeled as "mentally ill" it was almost impossible to reverse that finding. (Rosenhan, 1973) This was an important, study which revealed vital information…...

Artists and music companies are now able to provide online samples of their work to the public. They can bring this to the consumer online, where the latter can decide to buy or not to buy from the comfort of his or her home. Businesses are able to reach vastly more consumers, while the iPod enables consumers to listen to and buy more music than would otherwise be possible. An iPod can fit hundreds of files into a very small physical space, enabling the consumer to take music everywhere. This is an advantage for the industry, as more music can be sold to more consumers.

Ethical Issues Involved
Based on the problem that the members of our team are involved, about having a team member who does not render the necessary cooperation, and who have tendencies of lying about team reports, the ethical issues that surround this situation is Team Building Etiquette and Team Honesty.

The main principle behind any creation of a team is to have each member participate on every task, or perform a division of a large task, in which the summation of all the tasks each member has completed is an entirety of one common goal. In every team, cooperation and unity are essential factors to successfully achieve common objectives. Team building, which can undergo processes such as team meetings or workshops, allows presentation and collection of ideas that can soon provide accurate set-up and focus towards common goals. It is only ethical that each team member bear a responsibility of doing his…...

Ethical Issues in Qualitative Research
Qualitative research is research performed on relatively small sample groups. The research tends to be very specialized and does not require large amounts of numerical information for its conclusion to be drawn. hile qualitative research is for the most part accepted into academia, there are still some concerns that arise with qualitative research that are not present in quantitative research. These concerns include conflicts of interest, research with vulnerable and protected populations, and using self as the subject or heuristic research.

The first concern that can happen in qualitative research is conflicts of interest. The primary purpose of qualitative research is to describe a phenomenon through the eyes of the research subjects. Most qualitative research depends on interviews and observations of people in various scenarios. hile the researcher conducts their observations they are structuring the questions and observations to meet the needs of their study.

When conducted by a professional who is able to keep bias out of the equation, quantitative research can produce useful results; however given the great ethical concerns, it only makes sense that this form of research be limited to those with years of research experience.

Ethical Issues Necessitating the Creation of 1996 HIPAA Act:
The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 was enacted to bring necessary changes to the procedures and practices within the healthcare industry. The development of this legislation was to enforce the need of healthcare organizations to have the necessary regulations and procedures that safeguard the privacy of patient information. The Act was also developed to address the challenges of increased network connectivity and promote access to vital patient information as a result of newer information technologies in this sector. Notably, the access to vital patient information should be achieved without violation of integrity, availability, and confidentiality.

The development of networking technologies has contributed to improved services, increased access to information, and higher levels of information availability across businesses. These networking technologies have been adopted across many industries and businesses though other sectors like the healthcare industry have been slow in embracing…...

The most common ethical issues facing health care managers are balancing profits with patients, avoiding conflicts of interest, making sure people get equally fair treatment (as opposed to better treatment for rich people, etc.), addressing the concerns of nurses who may feel they are not providing care with enough of a benefit, and managing patients who do not have the capacity to make decisions, such as pediatric and geriatric patients. These issues can be addressed in the strategic plan through clearly spelling out specific policies that have to be followed. That helps to avoid the issue as one of ethics,....

Counseling people who have AIDS or are at high risk for acquiring HIV can present several ethical issues for healthcare providers.  While client care must remain the priority in any counseling relationship, it is important to acknowledge that a client who has AIDS, is HIV+, or is at high risk of acquiring HIV may present a health risk to their current or future sexual partners.  In addition, other high-risk behaviors, such as needle-sharing, present a community risk.

Essay Topic 1: The Deterrent Effect of School Theft Policies

Pro-Deterrent Viewpoint:

School theft policies that impose swift and strict consequences deter students from committing theft by creating a fear of negative repercussions.
The threat of suspension, expulsion, or legal charges acts as a psychological deterrent, discouraging students from engaging in theft.
By establishing clear boundaries and consequences, schools maintain a safe and orderly learning environment where students feel secure.

Anti-Deterrent Viewpoint:

Strict school theft policies create a punitive atmosphere that alienates students and undermines their educational progress.
Students who are caught stealing may be subjected to harsh punishments that can harm....
