Ethical Concerns In Scholarly Research

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

I agree with Jeff Probst about what he considers to be “endlessly entertaining”. The producers create conflict and stress for the people in the show to see how they will get themselves out of the situation. I would enjoy being a producer of that show because of the entertainment one could have with messing with the contestants.

In this generation people have very strong opinions and judge people on many things that they can’t help. Even though slavery ended over 150 years ago, and after Hitler started the Holocaust people would think that everyone would be accepted as their own and not for their race or religion but they didn’t. To this day people still have very harsh and strong opinions on something they have no knowledge of. This is called prejudice. In the novel, To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee, Lee demonstrates prejudice in a way like no other.

In this world, there are two kinds of people: the honorable and the malevolent. Rarely do we ever find those with pure hearts. Revenge, a tactic used by the malevolent, is a way to demonstrate antagonism against people through the process of making their lives miserable until one’s rancor has become successful against their enemy. The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne displays how a single sin gives a man with zero spirituality, rash goodness, eminent intelligence and soaring strength, the motivation to gain vengeance upon the man with whom his wife has committed the sinful act of adultery. Roger Chillingworth, the husband of Hester Prynne, becomes the antagonist in this novel when he discovers that his wife had conceived a child that

Researchers should be honest about who they are and be able to answer questions about the research they are conducting. It is understandable that one might want to put themselves in another person’s shoes and try to connect and understand that population, but when conducting a research, it is not ethical to deceive participants by portraying to be someone that you are not. “It is important to demonstrate an ethic

In the spirit of Emory's tradition of courageous inquiry, what question do you want to help answer and why? (500 word limit)

There are many ethical issues in the healthcare field. These issues range from insurance coverage, senior care, childhood immunizations, beneficence, abortion, medicinal marijuana, honesty and medical research (Fritzsche, D., 2004). Today we will discuss the ethical concerns in only one aspect of heath care and that topic is research (Benatar, S., 2000). Medical research is necessary in order to make strides in health care, introduce new medications, to discover new symptoms and disorders and to test new treatment options for current medical problems. Students of medicine, universities and pharmaceutical companies conduct this research primarily. Much of this research is time consuming and costly, therefore obtaining funding is not

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?

In a bid to make the reader reflect what impact would conduct a research ethically or unethically have in the

Ethics are very important because it sets up boundaries for what a science can and cannot do in their research. These boundaries are important when health and safety, when human involvement is science is present.

This Report enforces the private institutions to uphold a certain ethical standard in regards to human subjects research (HHS.gov, 1979). The APA is only entitled to live up to these principles set by the commission, but not entitled to do any follow up investigations of their biomedical research to ensure, develop, and uphold their biosafety and biosecurity of their medical and human subject research. What is interesting about these two policies is that both NIMH and APA must enforce the Belmont Report by law, but since the NIH is a government institution, it is supposed to live up to the new criteria for biosafety and biosecurity. These differences of the policies of biomedical research between governmental and private institutions can be

Values are discussed when we look at ethical issues mainly because ethical decisions will be based on the different values people share. Ethics are unlike mathematics and sciences because they are based on subjective opinions rather than objective facts. All opinions are formed from environments and experiences that build a person’s character. Since these experiences will be different, a person’s values will be different as well. Therefore, it is important to discuss values in order to understand the controversies that rise over ethical issues.

Albert Einstein, on the subject of research, said, “If we knew what it was we were doing, it would not be called research, would it?” While Einstein was referring to a scientist performing an experiment or study, the same idea can be applied to a writer researching for a paper. A paper not built on solid research will be full of fallacies and erroneous information. Readers respect opinions from experts or statistics from high-profile studies. Thus, if a paper is to be credible, it must be founded on solid research. Solid research comes from reliable sources, and reliable sources can come from libraries, peer-reviewed journals, and online searches. Different types of research include books, encyclopedias, and trustworthy scientific or government

Ethics are the principals that build an individual’s character and integrity. It is the code of conduct that a person lives by; it is the way that a person conducts themselves when no one is around. Stealing, lying, and cheating are wrong, yet every day in the workplace these issues occur. Growing competition lends to the need for people to do what they can to get ahead and stay ahead. Ethics are pushed to the side as people try to gain power or to stay out of trouble, all at the risk of tarnishing their character. This same mindset has spilled over into Academia. A student’s desire to successfully earn a degree by any means necessary has caused educational institutions to address these ethical issues by setting policies in place to combat academic dishonesty.
