Personal Value & Ethical Standards Paper

Write a 2,100- to 2,450-word paper on the development of your personal values, ground rules, and ethics. Focus on the developmental aspect rather than on a particular position on any issue.

• Define your values, the sources that helped shape your values—such as people, institutions and events—and the criteria and decision-making factors you use today to revise them as necessary.
• Discuss the implications of your values for your work as a human service professional.
• Discuss a specific ethical dilemma, in relation to the ethical standards of human service professionals, in which you would experience little difficulty due to a concordance between ethical practice and your personal belief system.
• Address a specific ethical dilemma, in relation to the ethical standards of human service professionals, in which you either anticipate difficulty or have experienced difficulty in ethical practice due to a conflict or discordance between ethical practice and your personal values.
• Briefly discuss each of the ethical standards and the following general principles:
  • The use of psychological tests in the courtroom
  • The lie detector
  • Boundaries of competence
  • Integrity
  • Sexual harassment
  • Human differences
  • The legal definition of insanity

Format your paper consistent with APA guidelines.

In ethics, value denotes the degree of importance of some thing or action, with the aim of determining what actions are best to do or what way is best to live (normative ethics), or to describe the significance of different actions.

You must proofread your paper.
