Module Two: Project Proposal For my project proposal, I chose the National Association of Social Workers professional code of ethics. I found it interesting to read their code of ethics and see what is expected of them in contrast to what I have encountered with other professionals in this field. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) code of ethics applies the ethical standard of compassion to reasoning in the decision making process, identifying core values and supporting decisions in this context through critical thinking and the application of the social justice principle, which is to "pursue the social change, particularly with and on behalf of vulnerable and oppressed individuals or groups of people." The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) was established in 1955 when several affiliated groups united to form one. Its first edition was released in 1960 and identified fourteen tasks, with the main emphasis being on client concerns related to alcohol, unemployment, and poverty. The NASW specifically says that no principle is more important than any other and that they do not rate their principles. Every principle is thought to be equally significant. The National Association of Social Workers (NASW) acknowledges that ethical issues may give rise to divergent perspectives and situations. Therefore, it is dependent upon the individual, agency, or organization to use its guide as a primary resource when making ethical decisions in practice. If it were up to me, the social justice principle would be the most significant in the first scenario. At least one NASW principle is incorporated into each of the five ethical frameworks that are presented in the Module One Guide. The justice framework could be used in scenario one,
according to the Module One Guide. When fairness—whether or not everyone is receiving what they deserve—is the issue at hand, the justice framework is effective. When different groups hold divergent views on how individuals should be treated—also known as benefits and burdens—in social groupings and settings, issues pertaining to justice may arise. The justice framework requires looking at the standards by which something is judged to be just and fair in a given circumstance.
