Assignment 1
Cultural Diversity

Professionals in all areas from business to counseling commonly anticipate possible
cultural differences with clients. At the same time, they inevitably encounter cultural
differences with clients as well as with other professionals or with the views of
organizations in which they work. These differences can compromise the services that
clients receive unless effectively resolved.

For this discussion question, provide at least two examples from within your profession
of situations in which the policies of real or fictitious organizations seem contrary to the
best interests of a client due to cultural differences.

Discuss the implications of this for ethical practice. Your initial post should be at least
300 words in length. Support your initial and subsequent posts by citing at least two
academic resources.

Assignment 2
Confidentiality

Privileged communication is a legal concept that prohibits the disclosure of confidential
communications, while referring to confidentiality as the ethical responsibility of
professionals to safeguard clients from unauthorized disclosures. This is one example of
an important distinction that spans the legalities and ethical nature of professional
practice. An understanding of these distinctions is not only characteristic of a
responsible professional but is also vital to the provision of ethically and legally
accountable services in clients’ best interests.

Discuss the differences between confidentiality, privacy, and privileged communication,
as well as the differences between the duty to warn and duty to protect. What would
you think is the most important aspect of confidentiality as it relates to your profession?

Present a scenario in which you discuss some of your ideas in simple and clear language,
as though you were having an actual discussion with a colleague who was in training.
Then, discuss situations in which it is legally required that you breach confidentiality.
Your initial post should be at least 300 words in length. Support your initial and
subsequent posts by citing at least two academic resources,

Assignment 3
Ethics in Practice: Whistleblower – An Ethical Dilemma

A whistleblower, by definition, is someone who brings an unethical, immoral, or illegal business
practice to the public’s attention. Whistleblowers have a difficult time in doing this, and they often
find their lives changed because of their actions. Sometimes they are shunned and receive death
threats. It is common for the family members to feel the effects of a whistleblower’s behavior.

Dr. Jeffrey Wigand became one of the best-known whistleblowers after his experience was turned
into a movie, The Insider. He proved that tobacco companies were deliberately boosting the nicotine
content of cigarettes, making them more addictive and cancer causing. However, like other
whistleblowers, he suffered from tremendous stress and received death threats and other forms of
intimidation for doing the right thing.

How did Dr. Wigand show moral intelligence in this situation? Jeffrey Wigand put his economic
future as well as coworkers and his family at risk to expose the tobacco companies. Would you have
done the same thing? Your initial post should be at least 300 words in length. Support your initial and
subsequent posts by citing at least two academic resources,

Assignment 4
Understanding Limits

As the field of psychology and other disciplines has continued to expand, opportunities to engage in
multiple professional activities have also increased. At the same time, this abundance of opportunities
also presents ongoing challenges requiring an understanding of personal limits. To rise above these
challenges, we as professionals need to understand their limits and apply this understanding to
professional situations that we encounter.

Discuss the situations in which you believe you may now be or could be less competent, situations
that could require you to make a professional referral. Discuss how you would make a referral and
what you would say to your client. You can create a scenario of your choice with a client in which you
need to make this referral. When discussing this scenario, address (1) the background and
presentation of the client, (2) your working relationship with the client to date, and (3) why the
referral is essential and ethically significant in this scenario. Using the Internet, research your
professional code of ethics for examples related to conflicts and the need to refer your client or case
out. Your initial post should be at least 300 words in length. Support your initial and subsequent posts
by citing at least two academic resources,

Assignment 5
Systems and Professional Integrity

Ethics is a code of thinking and behavior governed by a combination of personal, moral, legal, and
social standards of what is right. Although the definition of “right” varies with situations and cultures,
its meaning in the context of a community work involves many guiding principles with which most
community activists and service providers would probably agree. Above all else, do no harm.
Hippocrates put this in words over 2,000 years ago, and it’s still Rule Number One.

You have volunteered to run a community violence-prevention program, working with kids who are
gang members or gang hangers-on. The kids trust you, and sometimes tell you about some of their
less-than-savory activities. The police also know you work with gang members and often ask you for
information about kids. What are you obligated to tell them or to keep from them?

If you are actively striving to do “good,” how far does that obligation take you? If there are issues
affecting the community that have nothing to do directly with the one you’re concerned with, do you
nonetheless have an obligation to become involved? What if you don’t really understand the whole
situation, and your involvement may do as much harm as good—do you still have an ethical obligation
to support or become active on the right side? What if your support or activism endangers or
compromises your community intervention? Your initial post should be at least 300 words in length.
