Marriott Ethics And Culture

As a social work undergraduate, we have several queries regarding why it is so important to follow the NASW code of Ethics and values that relate to human diversity, with regard for the worth and dignity of all persons, as applied to a specific case where we are delivering social work. It is very essential to recognize the five core values of social work, service, social justice, dignity and worth of the person, importance of human relationships, and integrity and competence on our occupation of social work.

From examining both ethical statutes, therapists can take it one step forward by taking ownership in violating the bond between therapist and client. Years of education, training and personal responsibility should prevent therapist from violating the bond between client and therapist. Clients entrust therapist with intimate details and instill trust in the therapist. This relationship can sometimes cross boundaries and cause the client to view the therapist in a different light. The same can be said of therapists who have gained the admiration and trust of their client. This places them at an unfair disadvantage and gives them the upper hand and a manipulative stance in entering any relationship outside of the proper scope of the therapist-client relationship.

In addition to the process of grieving and accepting significant loss, individuals are often faced with moral and ethical issues related to the process of death. These issues include the prospect of their loved one experiencing a “bad death”, which has been discussed as involving distress, a lack of acceptance, and death not being in agreement with their wishes (Somerville, 2001; Tan & Manca, 2013) or difficult end of life decisions, like end of life care or euthanasia (Lovell, Smith, & Kannis-Dymand, 2015; Somerville, 2001). In the case of the latter, there is often a moral debate between continuing someone’s life in spite of his or her medical state (pro-life) and choosing a medical

Cultural ethical relativists believe that morality is dependent on the culture the individual is involved with. While physical laws are universally accepted, morals are objective depending on where someone lives or who they grew up around. Furthermore, morality is formed based on the history of political and social instances in cultural ethical relativism. This theory of cultural ethical relativism is widely accepted throughout the world. It is so popular because there is empirical evidence that shows that culture’s morals differ through certain parts of the world or different religions. While one culture might consider something to be moral, a different culture might consider the same exact thing to be immoral. An example of this involves

The Hofstede’s theory has really brought some of my own personal thoughts on my cultural background to light. This was the first time I ever heard about Hofstede’s Cultural Dimensions. I am American and there are things about the traits for American Culture that I thought was just something based on where you are from in regards to the United States. I always felt that since I was raised in Brooklyn, NY my parents expected me to think this way. The biggest for me was the biggest on the scale was Individualism (91). I was raised know that I am different and everyone is different but special in their way. No matter who you are, you still bring something to the table. Indulgence (68) was the second highest and I myself is firm believer in work

I chose Collectivism and Socialism. I had put all of them in my paper thought we did not have the time to discuss it (and it was not included in the syllabus). To start, let us first define what those three in layman’s term are; Collectivism means the subjugation of the individual to a group—whether to a race, class or state does not matter. Collectivism holds that man must be chained to collective action and collective thought for the sake of what is called “the common good” and Socialism , Central to the meaning of socialism is common ownership. This means the resources of the world being owned in common by the entire global population.

Everyday in our lives we have to make many decisions every day. Whether to go through the yellow light or stop, to pay for the bus or ride for free, or to make our bed. All of these decisions require us to use ethics, which is the study of our concepts of right and wrong conduct. It is derived from the Ancient Greek word “ethikos” meaning habit or custom. Besides knowing what is right and what is wrong, as humans, we have to use our conscience to tell us what to do. Our conscience is our inner feeling or voice, almost like a moral compass that we use to guide us. Throughout our lives, ethics is used to form our conscience with vices and virtues and by directing our objects and intentions to become a fuller person.
