An Analysis Of William And Co Authors ' Book

This selection of ways of expressing ethical commitments does not seek to invalidate other approaches. The presentation of different ways of conceiving ethics alongside each other in this statement is intended to draw attention to the limitations of relying too heavily on any single ethical approach. Ethical principles are well suited to examining the justification for particular decisions and actions. However, reliance on principles alone may detract from the

(TCO 1, 2, 3, 4) Identify the seven basic principles put forth in the American Sociological Association’s Code of Ethics. Choose three of these principles, and anticipate how a researcher might encounter controversy by abiding by these principles

This book is aimed at helping people make ethical choices, through a readable mixture of analysis, guidance, and case studies. It was easy for me to identify with the case studies.

Assessing ethical concerns is of key importance in planning, performing, and evaluating research, and includes four key issue areas of protection from harm, informed consent, right to privacy, and professional code of APA ethics (Cozby & Bates, 2012) These four areas of ethical issues must be considered whenever research involves human participants. Another important area for the researcher to review relative to ethical issues in human research is the importance of gaining an understanding of the internal review board (IRB). The purpose of this paper is to examine ethical concerns, and provide a brief review of the IRB, including when completion of an IRB application is required.

Human subjects are recruited to participate in a variety of research projects to include clinical trials, experiments, data collection, sampling, surveys, etc. Over time it has come under fire because of the influx of ethical issues associated with human participant research. The American Psychological Association’s Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct (hereinafter referred to as the Ethics Code which is made up of 5 principles and 8 standards) provide guidance and serves to protect the public from ethical misconduct, it also serves to guide and protect professionals.

Why A Public Anthropology? addresses the issue about why cultural anthropology is not affective by its current stance of “not doing any ethical harm” and into more detail explains why IRB’s should make notions to move towards a more positive stance of "doing good." Throughout the explanation of ethical violations from five given cases, the details will prove why these violations emphasize that the review board’s current stance of "do no harm is an ethically ambiguous position”. Even with anthropologists going in with the intentions of not doing harm result in the exact opposite; including national governments who try to avoid ethical issues end up just over-regulating research studies. These actions limit researcher ability to do well and cause additional problems. IRB’s focus on positive results is based on monetary value and time however this does not show respect and sensitivity. In the reading of this research I conclude it is due to the lack of similarity to the participants of the study leads to lack of care and treatment, thus threatening their wellbeing leads to the ethical issues in research cases and regulation. To solve this problem, Institutional Review Boards and Review Ethics Boards should create a set of common rules, these rules could easily differentiate what between what is what is and what is not ethical behavior and additionally it would facilitate all types of data in research projects that

With good ethical research perimeters as we will learn, empowers us with the quality that we may need to improve the wellbeing of others

Ethical consideration: Research methods will carry out secondary data collection and analysis which is conducted without bias, plagiarism and no permission is required from ethics committee to do this research. The main difficulty for secondary literature review, it should be reliable and valid source to assess or to form a conclusion for a research. Therefore it is important to undertake a research ethically passed by ethics committee (Homan, 1991).

Before determining the factors of the research ethics involved, researchers would need to answer several critical questions, for example -what is the purpose of the research? Does the research answer new questions, or older ones that require re-testing or rethinking? Is the research worth undertaking? Will a new study produce new knowledge? Among many other questions. The responses to these questions would help to develop early plans and design of the research ‘Alderson (2014)’. Once this though process is done, then the researchers can determine the ethical factors based on responses made as a reply to several questions they would need to ask themselves under each concerning factor. In the case of harm and benefit, there are several key

The alternative ethical views that could be applied to this research is by viewing it through virtue ethics. Virtue ethics “define right and wrong acts in terms of the moral virtues and vices” (Battaly, 2010, p. 2). In other words, virtue ethics goes by what is morally right and wrong in one’s own intentions. In this article written by Heather Battaly, she explains what a virtue and a vice are. Battaly mentions that there are two ways to identify what a virtue is. The first way being that a virtue is a “quality that enables a thing to attain good ends or perform its function well” (2010, p. 3). This definition applies to

“Ethics is a kind of investigation- and includes both the activity of investigating as well as the results of that investigation-whereas morality is the subject matter that ethics investigate” (Manual G. Velasquez).

This case study was a powerful example to illustrate the presence of ethics within the

Additionally, the government is responsible for providing grants to researchers and institution, and thus must have stringent policies on making sure that research is ethical before providing grants as well as having an ethical review committee for assessment of the ethicality of potential research. Moreover, in the case that research is being conducted abroad, domestic ethics review committees may need to work in conjunction with the ethics committees in the host nation, or in some circumstances even help in creating such a committee. Ethical ramifications of research done outside one’s nation will be extensively discussed further in this paper. The next level of research is the research institution, specifically dealing with private institutions, as public ones are generally covered under the governmental level, institutions’ are responsible for disseminating governmental decrees as well as educating their staff on all tenets of ethical research and make sure that researchers have a conducive environment for researching, so that they may advance human knowledge and health. The final level is the researcher, for whom these standards are addressed to and whose responsibilities include being aware of laws in

weaknesses. The content of this book is relevant to my project, as it examines ethics in

There are a variety of different ethical systems that have developed of the course of millennia. However, even though the subject has been covered so thoroughly, it is still heavily debated. The varieties of ethical systems that are in existence look at various ethical problems from different perspectives and can be applied differently in different circumstances. Because of the subjective aspects to applying ethics, they can be as much an art as they are a science. Ethics are something that must be practiced and really cannot be perfected. In this way, studying ethics is a continual process that does not really stop. This paper will argue that ethics are the most important subject that an individual can pursue.
