Ethical Issues And Values At Stake 7

People from all walks of life face many ethical dilemmas. These dilemmas have consequences. Our worldview determines how we deal with these dilemmas, and guides us to the right decisions. In this essay, I will examine an ethical issues through my Christian worldview. I will also present other viewpoints, and compare them to mine.

Ethical dilemmas occur when there is a disagreement about a situation and all parties involved question how they should behave based on their individual ethical morals. (Newman & Pollnitz, 2005). The dilemma that I will be addressing in this essay involves Michael, recently employed male educator working in the nursery, and parents of a baby enrolled at the centre. The parents have raised concerns about male educators changing their child’s nappy as they have cultural practices that do not allow this practice to take place. This situation is classed as an ethical dilemma as there is a dispute between cultural beliefs and legal requirements within the workplace. There are four parties involved (parents, child, educator and director), all

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. Today, we have chosen two areas and situations of how we are going to deal with our biases and our challenges while working as social workers, by employing the NASW code of Ethics and values that relate to human diversity, with regard for the worth and dignity of all persons.

They are sold by pimps for sex, and the sexual exploiters (or johns) are often given wide latitude in how they treat the victims. Some pimps even allow johns to murder the women and girls for an additional temporary sexual rush. The Lifetime movie, "Human Trafficking", give many disturbing but accurate examples as to how people are lured into forced labor. Throughout the film, there are stories of five girls forced into prostitution. First is Helena from Czechoslovakia. Helena is brought to Vienna by a handsome stranger who says he wants to marry her, and then sells her to traffickers. Second is Nadia from the Ukraine. A modeling agency recruits her and brings her to the U.S. where they turn against her and force her into prostitution. Third is Annie from the U.S. While vacationing in the Philippines with her parents, Annie is lured away from her parents and kidnapped. Finally is Jasmine from the Philippines. She is a member of a very poor family and sold to a trafficker by her father. Although these examples are derived from a film, they are excellent examples as to the many ways young women are coerced into forced labor.

“43% of victims are used for forced commercial sexual exploitation, of whom 98% are women and girls” (UNGIFT). Women and girls are ensnared in sex trafficking in a variety of ways. Some are lured in with offers of real and legal work in restaurants, massage parlors, or anything else. Others are promised marriage, education and a better life. Still others are sold into trafficking by boyfriends, friends, neighbors or even parents (SOROPTMIST). Many of the girls and women are also forced into pornography. With all of the types of sexual exploitation comes abuse. Sexual, physical, and emotional are all types of abuse put onto females in human trafficking. Many people traffic others in hopes of getting money, work done, or just pure pleasure.

In the short preview article I read written by Andrew Cockburn for the National Geographic magazine begins telling the story of Cockburns travel to Prijedor, Bosnia where he had a scheduled interview with the notorious slave trafficker Milorad Milakovic who awaited for him calmly in his residency guarded by tigers and young buffed, tattooed men patrolling and guarding his estate. In the interview when discussing the amount of women fleeing the country because of economical insecurities, Milakovic responded by expressing his opinion of wanting to legalize prostitution. Milorad Milakovic also openly expressed his business in buying women for his brothels.

This week nine paper will discuss the values and ethics in the practicum agency and answer questions related to ethics. In addition, this paper will discuss ethical issues or dilemmas at the agency and how social workers address these issues. Furthermore, questions will be answered about how the NASW Code of Ethics influences decisions at the agency, how ethics violations are handled about staff and what ethical principles that I feel strongly about.

According to the author, on the late of 1990’s were an estimated 600 to 3000 trafficked women and girls in Bosnia and Herzegovina and other 120,000 women and children each year were trafficked through the Balkan region to the countries of European Union. After the Dayton Peace was signed to help people to rebuild after the war in the 1990’s in Yugoslavia, new ‘’business’’ was opened in small bars and nightclubs near the military facility. Those women who worked there were from Moldovia, Romania, Ukraine, Russia, and from Belarus and Bulgaria. Most of them experienced physical, psychological and sexual violence and many of them had many transmitted diseases. Those women reported serving many clients per night to satisfy the clients and the

Katia who was 4 months pregnant, was sold by Vlad, a man that she and family thought they could have trust, to a violent sex trafficker named Apo. Vlad had her believing that he was willing to help her by merchandises for the business that her and husband owned. Viorel, her husband, worked with Frontline and to the went out of his to make sure that his wife comes back home. Katerina and Anya were both tricked by Olga and was sold to pimps to become a prostitute. Both women were able to escape their tragic torture. Tania needed money so can pay her brothers medical bills. She was told that she would work as a nanny in Turkey by this couple, but unfortunately for her, it was just another trap. She was able to escape, but sadly she ended up returning to Turkey to be a prostitute because her brother got extremely sick. She ended getting deported back to Ukraine from Turkey. Lastly, Eva moved from Hungary to Canada believing that she was going to work as a housekeeper, but because she didn’t speak English she signed a contract to become a striper that would be kept in a motel room to get raped by different men. She was able to escape because of a club manager. All these women suffered severely, getting raped, beaten, drugged and so on for a short period time, but it is something that they will never forget. Their stories are hard to hear, but worth the

I was born in the late 1950s and spent my childhood in the 1960s and teen years in the 1970s. My upbringing was shaped very much, by how I was taught and raised. My parents were both members of a conservative religious organization and so with that said I learned this way of thought. We were raised to believe that the 10 commandments were the basis of all things right and wrong, that if we followed them our lives would be as God wanted. Not to mention our parents! As a child, we first believe all that our parents teach us. They are like God to us and must be right no questions asked. I had by then

It is were women who have been traffic become victims of the sex industry. Some women like Katia 23 years old from Odessa in Ukraine are aware that they are being recruited for prostitution; however they do not realize the abuse they are going to suffer from their traffickers. After escaping from sex trafficking she confessed in a documentary call “ Sex-slave” that she could not believe places like that actually existed. She said “ I thought I will find I least one kind person, or that one of the pimps would set me free” “ they did not see us as human being but just as whores, as flesh that they could use. That's all”. Even if women consent to prostitution they are still abused and severely traumatised by their “buyers”. They become victims of sex-trafficking because they are held prisoner and at the end forced into prostitutions. They can not stop or leave when they want. They are denied the most basic human rights , and in the worst case, they are denied their right to life. In order to attempt, to regulate and control such terrible activities and discontinue the suffering from victims of sexual-exploitation, international organisations such as the UN, OSCE ( the organisation for security and co-operation in Europe) and the Council of Europe have put protocols and specific laws into place . Since the mid-1990s European institutions have

Furthermore, the book explains the important role of women as recruiters in Eurasia and Africa. In Latin America, Asia, Africa, and Eurasian women are running “brothels and sex trafficking rings” which have been exposed by international investigations. Sadly, the women that are now running these brothels and sex trafficking rings have been victims of sex trafficking and

Morals, values and ethics define who we are and what we believe. Culture, religion, and many other things affect our beliefs. One uses various types off ethics when surrounded by different groups. Knowing between right and wrong is a good foundation to practicing good ethics and morals. These things make morals, ethics, and values important in society.

"Our results indicate that the informal methods ("manager sets an example" or "social norms of the organization") are likely to yield greater commitment with respect to both employee attitudes than formal methods ("training courses on the subject of ethics") (Adam, et al, 2004).
