Social responsibility

Texas is one of only a few states that elects judges in partisan elections. It has been suggested that perhaps this is not an appropriate way to choose judges, given the nature of their job. Discuss the problems that could occur when citizens elect judges in partisan elections, including campaign contributions, lack of minority representation on the bench, perceptions of fairness, and lack of knowledge on the part of the voters. No direct quotes are allowed

The arrangement of chairs in three classrooms of Wickson hall does not make sense. Two classrooms have too many chairs. Another classroom, not enough chairs. Too many chairs make each row very close. Unsafe to take quiz and test. It is easy for classmates to see each other answers. It is uncomfortable to sit. Too many chairs make classroom narrow and not that many students for one classroom. Because only three small size classrooms in this hall for discussion and small upper classes with a size of 30 people. The chairs are not fixed. People are moving those chairs make a mess. No printers in those three classrooms. Not convenience. The noise of putting projection screen down was loud and take too much time. The size of the projection screen is too small.

CEO of a Company

You are the CEO of a corporation that makes computer hard drives. The company made $50 million dollars in annual profit this year, after struggling for the 5 previous years. About 6,000 people are working for your company and about 80% of them are directly associated with the manufacturing plant. Workers at the plant have not received a salary raise for the past 5 years, and the workers union is demanding a salary raise this year. The company has an annual payroll of about $500 million dollars, with about 70% of it for the workers in the plant. Factory managers are asking for $25 million dollars to upgrade the equipment and improve the efficiency of the plant. White-collar workers in the head office claim that it is their strategy that turned the factory around and put it on the path to profit. Due to this reason, they think they deserve to get a big bonus. How do you allocate the profits to meet all these demands? Justify your decision.

ETHICAL DECISION-MAKING PAPER

The purpose of this assignment is to develop the ability to apply professional values, codes of ethics, and a decision-making model to the process of ethical decision making. Choose 1 of the ethical dilemmas below to read and analyze, applying the American Counseling Association’s (ACA) Decision-Making Model as outlined in the document, “A Practitioner’s Guide to Ethical Decision Making.” Divide the body of your paper—formatted in current APA style—into the steps outlined in the ACA document, making sure to address all questions for each section. The body of your paper must be 6–9 pages. Your paper must also include an abstract, title page, and reference page, all in current APA style. Your paper must be well-thought-out and demonstrate critical thinking. When you have completed your paper, save your paper as a Microsoft Word document under your name and assignment title (Example: Doe_J_Ethical_Decision-Making_Paper). Ethical Dilemma 1 Lakia, a counselor in a public high school, decides to start a “relationship skills” group for juniors and seniors. She posts an advertisement for the group in the school counseling office. Her advertisement provides minimal information, including the name of the group, the date and time of the first meeting, and the contact number of the school counseling office secretary. Lakia instructs the secretary for the school counseling office to admit the first nine students who call to enroll. The secretary adds students to the group as they call in, irrespective of the nature of their problems, their personal goals for the group, or their previous experience with groups. At the first meeting, nine students show up, including seven females and two males. Having never talked with or met the students before, Lakia begins by asking them to share why they have come to the group. One of the males, Robert, shares that he was new to the high school this year, and had just been released from a detention center after serving one year for domestic violence. Robert states that he has anger issues especially directed at women. At break, five of the females leave and do not return to the group. Robert breaks down in the group and states that he is going to kill himself when he gets home. Ethical Dilemma 2 John, a 7th grader, was referred to the school counselor by a teacher who said John expressed suicidal intentions because he is having some personal and family issues. The school counselor talks to John long enough to assess that he is at imminent risk of suicide. Since John is a minor, the school counselor contacts John’s parents and prints a resource list of community mental health counselors to give to them. Is this the best course of action, ethically and legally, on behalf of this student? Ethical Dilemma 3 Dan, a licensed professional counselor in a church-based practice, primarily sees relatively well-functioning clients. Dan does not believe he needs to keep client records because his practice is church-based and his clients are so well functioning. Dan reasons that if he was working in an agency setting, and seeing “really sick” clients, keeping records would be of benefit.
