Psychology – Ethics Discussion

DQ1 Topic: Ethical Use of Power

  1. Look at the infographic on this site (Ethical use of power).
  2. Create 4 themes (even if you want to share your own infographic) to use in a work setting.
  3. Explain how your own themes apply in this work setting.
  4. This is NOT limited to the clinical application of the APA guidelines.  I am opening this up to any work environment.  See link above for ideas.

Psychology - Ethics Discussion

DQ2 Topic: Fallacies for Ethical Decisions

As we progress forward into this week, I am giving you links to explore how cognitive distortions may corrupt the decision-making process.  Listed below are three very interesting web pages from Dr. Kenneth S Pope, who has written on the psychology of ethics for many years. Psychology – Ethics Discussion. As always, I am not endorsing his book, nor do I agree with all of his conclusions, but these pages I think will help all of us contemplate our thinking styles and problem-solving strategies that guide ethical decision making. So, this week you have the opportunity to research very important application of ethics in serious patient populations, and at the same time step back and examine ethical scenarios you may have encountered in your own workplace.

  1. The first page is a link to consider common thinking pitfalls that may lead to unethical behavior.  Take the time to reflect on these categories and maybe you have witnessed some of these in your own careers. https://kspope.com/ethics/ethicalstandards.php
  2. Next, take time to research this list which is a more expansive list of common fallacies in psychology that may appear not only in ethical decision making scenarios. How were these applicable to your own professional experiences and how were they resolved? https://kspope.com/fallacies/fallacies.php
  3. Finally take time to review Dr Pope’s recommendations for steps to align the decision-making process for you: https://kspope.com/memory/ethics.php

Psychology – Ethics Discussion. Now pick a fallacy, share how you think this fallacy derails ethical decision making, and how could you avoid that fallacy. Use APA referencing style.

(https://www.nctq.org/dmsView/K-6_Content_Competencies_-

Social_Studies_(CI_draft)_revised_5-7-13_284786 ) in classroom instruction

After you observe the two teachers, you will write a reflective analysis and conclusion presenting one’s overall position and reaction to what was observed and how classroom practice reflects theory. In this reflective paper you are also going to compare and contrast the strategies employed by the two teachers observed. You can use these questions to guide your reflective paper: To what degree did they utilize these strategies, if at all? Field Experience – Reflective Writing. How effective were the strategies used with culturally and/or linguistically different students, ESOL/LEP, or students with other special needs (ESE)? How effective were the strategies used with students of different ability levels? Were strategies, materials, and technologies modified to accommodate individual student’s learning? If so, in what ways were the strategies modified? Support your analysis with professional literature.

Your reflective paper should include an introduction with the school(s) and teachers background information following by the summary of your observations and your analysis and conclusion. Use APA referencing style.

Ethical Leadership – Training Presentation

Overview

Leaders seldom lead their organizations alone. Instead, leaders surround themselves with a team that complements their God-given abilities and partners with them to ensure their organizational mission and vision (and ethics!) are realized. Once an organization has clearly identified the values by which it will operate, it is important for leadership to communicate these values to the team. Organizational values should be taught to new employees and repeated often to remind current employees the values of the company.

Instructions

For the first part of this assignment, consider a leadership team of an organization. Your assignment is to take the values described in your Case Study Paper Assignment and incorporate them into one cohesive presentation that describes the ethical stance your organization will take.  Approach the PowerPoint as a training tool that an employee would view to learn about the organization’s values.

Ethical Leadership - Training Presentation

Analyze the organizational values reflected in your Case Study Paper (Above) Assignment and present them in a PowerPoint presentation as part of the organization’s focus on values. The presentation will be considered the vision-casting, “big picture” narrative of an organization’s approach to values and will be given to each new employee and repeated every two years to remind faculty of the values of the company. Each value must include a clear biblical integration. The presentation must have at least 5 scholarly resources in addition to the Bible.

Ethical Leadership – Training Presentation. Once an organization has clearly identified the values by which it will operate, it is important for leadership to communicate these values to the team. The presentation is to include a narrated PowerPoint presentation (composed of at least 10 slides) that reinforces the salient, practical points of the organization’s values reflected within your case study paper. Approach the PowerPoint as a training tool that an employee would view to learn about the organization’s values. The training should be presented as if you are the leader of the company. If there are any quotes or citations used in the presentation, be sure to include a Reference slide at the end of the presentation so that proper acknowledgement is given. The presentation will be the training tool used to introduce employees to the values of your organization. The presentation itself will not need to be in APA format. The reference slide needs to be in current APA format.

School Crime and Safety. Prior to beginning work on this discussion, read Chapters 9 and 10 from the textbook. Additionally, read the US Department of Justice and US Department of Education report, Indicators of School Crime and Safety: 2019Links to an external site. As you learn in the readings, media reports of school crime tend to create misconceptions of a danger that is actually quite small for the overwhelming majority of school users. In fact, given the number of students, teachers, and other personnel in schools on any given day, it is quite astounding how few violent episodes there are. After reading the report, please address each of the following:

School Crime and Safety

What statistic in the report surprised you about school crime and safety? Please refer to a specific statistic found on the site and cite it properly. Tell us why this statistic surprised you, confirmed your belief, etc. In 81% of violent, targeted school attacks, at least one person knew someone was conceiving of or planning an attack. In most cases, no one came forward with this information. Why might someone hesitate to come forward? School Crime and Safety. What are some significant differences between school shootings and mass shootings in the general population (for example, the Colorado movie theatre shooting or the Orlando nightclub shooting)? Discuss the challenges inherent in preventing mass shootings in schools, the workplace, and the general public. Are there any proven strategies to help control this type of violence? What ideological differences might interfere with making meaningful criminal justice reform to prevent mass shootings? What are some other barriers to criminal justice reform?
