An Ethical Issue I Have Found Challenging At My Agency

In tonight’s session we have been learning further about Carl Rogers and his conditions of a successful person- centred therapy. We have been exploring Unconditional Positive Regard, a term used by Rogers to describe a basic acceptance and support of a person regardless what they say or do. Unconditional Positive Regard is an attitude of the counsellor towards his client. Rogers believes that this attitude is essential to a healthy development and cause a positive therapeutic movement in a therapy.

This report will address the ethical and management issues presented in the case studies Seven Eleven, Are organisation’s exploiting ‘non-employees’ and New and challenging HRM issues in China and India. The main ethical issues raised by these case studies are cultural diversity issues, discrimination and employee working conditions. Along with these ethical issues there are also management issues outlined Corporate Greed and an issue Human resource. This resulted in loss of thousands of dollar for the seven eleven employees, non-employees experiencing sudden loss of income due to casual and temporary work, and IT workers in India forced to work very long hours as well as poor working conditions in China.

The key concepts of this therapy are empathy, unconditional positive regard and congruence or genuineness (Gatongi, 2007). Unconditional positive regard is the acceptance and approval of counselor to the client without any evaluation and judgment to provide clients safe and comfortable surroundings. Unconditional positive regard

Under discrimination, in section 6.04 Social and Political Action of the NASW code of ethics. The statement that is relevant to this case study is in section D. It states that social workers should act to prevent and eliminate domination of, exportation of and discrimination against any person, group, or class based on race, ethnicity, national origins, color, sex, sexual orientation,

In most cases, interpersonal relationships between workers were tense. (19, 16). There was a constant fear of making a mistake and infecting other workers, leading to an absence of socialization among workers (16). No longer coming into direct contact with one another or even eating together, workers found themselves on the defense against their co-workers, having to carefully watch one another for signs of infection. During this time, many felt that they couldn’t trust other healthcare workers and that they must look out only for themselves.

The National Association Of Social Work has a long history in the United States. A code of ethics was developed by a delegate of social workers for social workers to live by. The delegate has revised the code many times since its development in 1960. The NASW Delegate Assembly first agreed on the Code of Ethics on October 30, 1960. The document embodied the duties of the social work profession and the responsibilities of each social worker. American values have changed many times. As a democratic nation, we advocate for humanitarian ideals and the equal treatment of our citizens. “Social work is based on humanitarian, democratic ideals.” According to the original 1960 code of ethics, “professional social workers are dedicated to the service for the welfare of mankind; to the disciplined use of a recognized body of knowledge about human beings and their interactions, and to the marshaling of community resources to promote well-being without discrimination.” This is a long quote but, I believe it perfectly encompasses what it means to live in a fair and democratic nation. Although America still had many civil rights issues at the time, a system such as this could not develop in a communist or dictatorship nation.

Social workers should not participate in, condone, or be associated with dishonesty or fraud. Any instances of misconduct should be reported to management immediately.

Ethical dilemmas are particularly sensitive issues in the workplace because the well-being of the individuals and the organization as a whole are at stake. Employees must feel as though they are being supported and not punished, and should not feel as though they were being put on display; their dignity should always remain intact. This paper examines how, as a high school principle, I would address the issue of one of the high school teachers becoming addicted to prescription drugs.

Thank you for the informative discussion post on policy, Elizabeth. I also cited Mason, Leavitt, Chaffee, and O’Grady (2016) discussing how policy can be influenced by multiple spheres at a time. Based on my real world observations of my work with Optum and the health insurance industry, I have seen the effects of various state exchanges on the government, workplace, interest groups and the community.

Can we improve the effectiveness of decision-making in the workplace; absolutely, but the question remains, how, and by what measure, if we take the ethical decision tree as an example, it narrows the deciding factor down to four ethical questions and from there we can make an intelligent decision, first is it legal, secondly, will maximize shareholder value, thirdly, is the proposed action ethical, and fourthly, would be ethical not to take action.

Throughout the course of my practicum I have had several opportunities to speak with my field instructor/supervisor about a variety of issues. We have spent quite a bit of time discussing ethical issues that I have encountered during my practicum. I have noted that there are differences in the treatment of some of the residents on the RCF. I brought it to my field instructors attention. She very wisely shared with me that my thinking was correct and that I need to remember that I am there to educate others about issues that I may encounter or observe.

Stating this new position, I was bright eyed and bushy tailed, I was not prepared for this at all. This make me wonder when people are facing an ethical dilemma, do we need to have crucial conversations? For example, what would you do if or what lines should never be cross in business. What is their thought process? Did the go into ethical dilemma with the intent to cover things up and deal with the consequences as it arrive? For instance, Volkswagen deliberately deceived consumers with its "Clean Diesel" campaign and decided to pay. Not one person involved went to jail. It makes me wonder, did anyone had any remorse. This is my third time bringing up the ethical dilemma, I was a part of, and I still cry about it. I'm not the same person;

In the last decade, the corporate ethic policy has evolved from a relaxed series of documents into a sequence of ironclad forms that define a defense from the actions of the generation at hand. Though I have not witnessed violation of company ethics by leadership, as a long term member of the management within a company, I have witnessed firsthand the ever-changing importance of having a policy for every employee as it relates to ethics within the workplace. Human Resource advisors have had to adjust to the needs for new discrimination protection; alongside the outline of a social media policy as it relates to standard forms of communication. With the explosion of social media such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, and Instagram, every company instantly had to define what an acceptable action was, along with when communication through these mediums was acceptable. In the end, I view the management and definition of social media policy as the most important aspect of every corporation moving forward.

An ethical dilemma, “is a circumstance which occurs only when two or more social work values are in conflict” (Murphy, 1997). Ethical dilemmas as presented to professionals on a daily basis and never is there one that is similar to another or that can be handled in the same way because each individual and situation is different. This case presents an ethical dilemma in which the adolescent has stated that he is growing an illegal substance in his own backyard with plans to distribute as well as for his own recreational use. The minors’ disclosure brings up many questions of legal matters and confidentiality. What he reports that he is going to do have many illegal consequences that could get him into a lot of trouble or possible danger.

Globalization has led to reduced barriers and smudged out borders between countries. This allows more international manufacturing. As a result, sweatshops has arisen in developing countries, to serve as cheap labor for companies across the world. In many cases, it is cheaper to both produce and ship products from another country than to manufacture them nearby the business 's own location. Sweatshops are factories with unfair wages, excessive working hours , poor working conditions, and in some cases, child labor. The existence of sweatshops raises an important question: Is profit more important than morality? Whose responsibility is it to uphold standards of safety and pay? Some people argue that sweatshops are beneficial for both companies and workers. They claim that sweatshops create jobs for people who would otherwise be unemployed. Sweatshops give an opportunity for people to support their families. In this paper, I will argue that the existence of sweatshops are impermissible and unethical. To establish my position I will answer arguments that support the existence of sweatshops and explain why those reasons are unethical. Firstly, I will use Tom Morris’s book If Aristotle ran general motors to suggest a rule that we should guide our behavior after. This rule will lead me into Rawls 's theory of justice and how this idea applies to sweatshops. Secondly , I will
