Question description
In a 3-5 page scholarly paper, integrate information from multiple sources regarding an ethical topic of your choice. You will also explore how personal beliefs, values, and biases can impact ethical decision making and how you will apply the Ethics Code in your future career. The majority of the paper will focus on the synthesis of information from your sources. The exploration of personal beliefs, values, and biases should be no more than 1 page.
Use the readings from Units 1, 2, and 3 to guide your topic selection using the APA Ethics Code. Once you select a topic, find and incorporate at least three articles from the Library pertaining to your topic.
In this paper, you will synthesize the readings from the textbook along with the articles you chose. Consider the following:
- What is the main issue the author is addressing?
- What is the author’s central point?
- What are the strengths and weaknesses of the article?
- What makes the article interesting and important?
- How will this synthesis of what the author has to say help you apply what you are learning to your own work in the profession?
After synthesizing the ideas from the readings (articles and textbook), reflect on your personal background (biases, beliefs, values, etc.) and discuss how this could influence your ethical decision making. How will you balance your personal influences with the guidelines you find in the Ethics Code? How will you apply the Ethics Code in your career?
