The Ethical Application Of Research And Information

The National Association of Social Workers states “The primary mission of the social work profession is to enhance human well-being and help meet basic human needs of all people, with particular attention to the needs and empowerment of people who are vulnerable, oppressed, and living in poverty” (NASW, 2017, p. 1). Social work has always been around due to the constant reality of poverty but was not an actual job title until Jane Addams a Quaker woman in 1889 opened up her organization the Hull House. She began drawing attention to the needs of people in America by getting involved with politics with the goal of introducing laws that would help people in need. Before Jane Addams brought attention to the issues, churches were doing their best

If one was to ask the question, “What do ethics mean to you?” These responses would be likely to follow. “Ethics is what my feelings tell me is right or wrong.” “Ethics have to do with my religious beliefs.” “Being ethical means following the laws.” Those replies would be expected. Many do relate ethics with their feelings, but it is not a matter of following feelings. In fact, we will often times stray from living ethically if we were guided by our feelings. Although religions urge high ethical standards, if ethics were limited to religion, ethics would only apply to religious people. Following the law is not the same as being ethical. Ethical standards may be incorporated in the law, but laws, won’t always conform to

A 46-year-old man is currently enrolled in a Phase 2 study of a drug for severe diabetic neuropathy. While the study is on going, a new drug becomes commercially available that may have equal or greater benefit to the subject. The investigator should do which of the following?

An educational journey consists of effective study habits which will require researching various sources, managing personal/family life, and balancing work and school. Research is very important. It will either hurt you or help you, depending on your research skills and time management skills. Research helps link one’s ideas to true and tested studies that can help prove a stance on a particular subject matter. When one is able to provide information backed up by empirical studies, one’s information can begin to flourish. For example, think about the various magazines that are sold nationwide. The National Enquirer is seen to be a false, untrue magazine that provides information about subject matters that are not even true. Even though, the National Enquirer is a great attention getter, there are surmountable people who know the stories printed inside are not believable. In regards to research, students should seek out reputable sources that can enhance their writing skills which in turn will help to write a better paper. Research provides valuable knowledge for the student. The student may already know the information but the research will give added seasoning to that knowledge. Just like cooking, one knows how to cook a turkey but, it’s the seasonings that will bring the turkey to life. Those seasoning ideas may come from various individuals.

The client Suzanne is a seven year old girl placed in a treatment center for emotionally disturbed children. This center helps children ages six through twelve years old. Suzanne has been diagnosed with an attachment disorder and has been placed in a group home for two years. There are two types of attachment disorders, attachment and reactive attachment (Smith, 2014). She has been meeting with a facility caseworker weekly for the last eight months. Her three year old sister, Cindy, is also placed in the facility with her. Parental rights are currently being processed to be terminated. The caseworker is looking into alternative long-term placement for the sisters. Each sister has a

People often come across research in everyday life or are curious about a topic and decide to conduct their own research. Identify a time you wanted to research something and explain how you performed the research and what you learned as a result. How can you apply this experience to your own academic research?

Beginning the research process, and even now writing this paper, I have no idea exactly what I was looking for. At the time I was just searching to see what was out there in the way of credible sources relating to my topic and going with what I felt would be able to help me the most. I admit it’s not a great method, but it allowed me to find some very helpful sources that made writing this paper easier for me. Regardless, I found a variety of information ranging from personal statements, to interviews, to journal articles, it actually surprised me how much information I was found.

The famous German physicist Albert Einstein once said, “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” Often in the classroom and life in general, many people assume that in order to research something, a person must first understand it, but that simply is not the case. The whole concept of research stems from human’s natural response to the unknown and the desire to understand it; almost all humans have used research to comprehend and attempt to solve problems. Personally, I have used research a great deal for personal and educational reasons. In high school, I used research for historical and literary papers, in order to better understand concepts, and to discover resources for almost every class. I also

Deception is considered to be defined as the action of deceiving someone, intentionally misleading a person or participants about their status, giving false information about the investigation or the research purpose and omitting information about the real purpose of the research. Usually when people think of the word deception it leads to more of a moral and ethics standpoint depending on how one may view it. Moral issues merely show a simple, even if it is just a right or wrong answer. It is often a matter of judgement whether the research is justified or not. Ethics refers to the correct rules of conduct necessary when carrying out research. Psychologist have a moral responsibility to protect research participants from harm. Deception has been attacked repeatedly as ethically unacceptable and morally reprehensible. According to the American Psychological Association psychologist do not conduct a study involving deception unless they have determined that the use of deceptive techniques is justified by study's significat prospective scientific, educational, or applied value and the effective non-deceptive alternative procedures are not feasible, and they do not deceive prospective participants about research that is reasonably expected to cause physical pain or severe emotional distress. The perception of deception seems to be very low in studies that investigate public behaviors and enhanced in studies that run the risk of harming research participants or in studies that investigate private behaviors.

Research can be a very scary topic when it is first introduced to a class, and I was that scary student. Research to me was like learning how to swim for the first time with a life vest on, and my heart beating 100 miles per hour because I’m so afraid. Taking off my life vest and diving into this research course has been very rewarding for me. I have learned so much in such a short amount of time. It has open my eyes up to a variety of ways I can start and conduct my research. Research is not so scary anymore. In this paper, I’m going to tell you about the things that I have learned and perfected while taking this course.

Describe your research process. How did you find and select this article? Did you have any trouble with searching? How did you solve those problems? Do you think you found the best article for your topic? What did you find confusing or frustrating about the search process?

Qualitative assessments of impacts of my research program are important. I have been very fortunate that scholars writing in quality journals variously say my work is “authoritative”, “inspirational”,

Valid information is information that is correct and can be used for the purpose it has been gathered for without any discrepancies an example of valid information would be attendance reports you send to the office or they receive at the office, it is important this information is valid otherwise it could cause a student to be kicked out for low attendance even if they have been there every lesson.

Research provides us with a variety of perspectives from which to see things and find a way of empirically analyzing our findings. It enables us to see from where we have come, provides us with a description of where we are now and gives us some

Lastly, to address the affective domain, I chose to develop personal values for how I will conduct research. To complete this goal, I participated in class discussions, verbalizing my values and personal opinions on material presented in this class, as well as responding to peers. I feel that I have partially met this objective, as my personal values are not set in stone, but are being developed with ongoing exposure to research methodologies and strategies. Thus, a future goal is to continue to identify my personal values in regard to research, bearing in mind the value of ethics and morals.
