explore how personal beliefs, values, and biases can impact ethical decision making, assignment help

Unit 3 Assignment

In a 3- to 5-page scholarly paper, you will 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 Kaplan

Library pertaining to your topic. (I have selected
the articles; they are on needle exchange programs—attached below)

In this paper, you will synthesize the readings from
the textbook along with the articles you

chose. Consider
the following for each article:

 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? (Addiction)

· 
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?  (My
career will be psychology with emphasis on addictions)

The paper should:

 Follow assignment directions (review grading rubric
for best results—below).

 Use correct APA formatting per the APA Publication
Manual, 6th Edition.

 Demonstrate college-level communication through the
composition of original materials

in Standard American English.

 Be written in Standard American English and be
clear, specific, and error-free.

APA template is attached as well…This paper needs to be original and not plagiarized with in-text citations.
