This document provides instructions for a case studies assignment on ethics in the social sciences. Students are asked to choose one of several case studies and analyze the ethical dilemmas presented using two theories from a list of options. The case studies describe scenarios involving humanitarian aid workers, social workers, working holiday makers, urban planners, and a cybersecurity analyst. Students are to discuss the dilemmas, relevant codes of ethics, apply two theories to analyze the case, and propose an ethical solution. Resources are provided for each case study to assist students with their research and analysis.

Knot theory
Did you tie your shoe laces the same way today as yesterday? We are all
familiar with knots from everyday life. But when does a mathematician
consider two knots to be the same? To capture the mathematical, rather
than physical, features of a knot, we glue the ends together to form a circular
loop, and then treat the string as infinitely strong, thin, and stretchy. The
downside of doing so is that it is not immediately clear how to distinguish
two knots, as there are infinitely many configurations for the same knot.
For this project you should find out about how knots are represented, and
about some of the invariants used to tell them apart. Some possible areas of
investigation include:
• tricolourability.
• genus.
• the Jones polynomial.
You should include plenty of your own examples to illustrate your under-
standing.
Prerequisites
No particular background knowledge is needed, but you will need to be able
to interpret a 2D diagram as a 3D object in space and visualise it moving
over time.
Literature
• Colin Adams, The Knot Book
• Peter Cromwell, Knots and Links
Additional tips:
The purpose of the final assignment is for you to analyze an existing policy (at the federal, state, or local level) and discuss its impact on a social problem. You aren’t proposing a policy, but analyzing an existing policy of interest to you.
Be sure to take enough time reading about the policy you selected to thoroughly understand it in an in-depth way and be able to confidently answer the questions in the assignment.
Please take time to carefully read each question in the assignment and be sure to answer it. As you proof-read your paper, take the opportunity to again review the assignment and double check that you have thoroughly but succinctly provided the information for each applicable question.
Please make sure you are using APA style in your final paper, including the title page with name and dates.
The assignment is 8 – 10 pages long because that’s roughly the length of a comprehensive social policy analysis. Please try to refrain from adding more words than necessary to stretch the length.
Proof-reading more than once is a great idea to try to catch sentences that aren’t sentences and words that are inadvertently misused. Read it out loud. I understand that the U of MD’s writing lab is available to help those interested in strengthening their writing skills – don’t hesitate to take advantage of it!
My expectation is that direct quotes be kept to a minimum in that graduate-level writing involves synthesizing ideas and then presenting them in your OWN words. For those quotes you do use, please be sure to use the correct citation and quotation marks. Not doing so may be considered plagiarism and will be responded to accordingly.

IDS 400 Milestone Four Guidelines and Rubric
Analyzing an Issue or Event in Diversity Through the Lenses of the Natural and Applied Sciences and the Social Sciences
Overview: For the first part of your final project, the critical analysis portfolio, you will select an issue or event in diversity and critically analyze it through the
four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. By viewing the issue or event through these lenses, you will
gain insight into how the intersectional nature of diversity affects society as well as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices, attitudes,
and behaviors of others in the world around you.
For this fourth milestone, due in Module Six, you will analyze your issue/event in diversity through the lenses of the natural and applied sciences and the social
sciences. Like Milestone Two, this task provides you with an opportunity to dive deeper into your analysis of the issue/event through these two lenses. This will
provide you with a chance to practice analyzing your issue/event through these lenses and receive feedback on this practice attempt.
Prompt: First, review your work in Modules Five and Six, as well as the Four Lenses document from Module One.
Next, analyze your issue/event through the lens of the natural and applied sciences by exploring the following questions:
How does this issue/event provide a social commentary through the natural and applied sciences?
In what ways can science help resolve or enhance your issue/event?
Next, analyze your issue/event through the lens of the social sciences, and address the following:
How does this issue/event interact with the social sciences lens and impact social issues?
In what ways does the social science lens help articulate a deeper understanding of the social issue(s) that inform your issue/event?
Note: You are completing two separate analyses: one from the natural and applied sciences and one from the social sciences. You must submit two papers in a
single Word document.
Be sure to use evidence from research to support your analysis. Refer to course resources, the LibGuide for this course, and any other pertinent resources to
support your responses. Relevant current news sources may be used with instructor approval. Incorporate instructor feedback into Final Project Part One.
Specifically, the following critical elements must be addressed:
I. Lens Analysis: In this section of your assignment, you will analyze your issue/event through two of the four general education lenses.
A. Analyze your issue/event through the lens of the natural and applied sciences for determining its impact on various institutions. Utilize evidence
from research to support your analysis.

Child Welfare
COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course will look at the major historical, ideological, legal, and professional themes that inform child welfare policy.
Issues including current legislation, history of child welfare, foster care, and adoption will be examined. In particular, we will focus on the social construction of mothering, of child neglect and of child abuse.
Contemporary policies and programs for populations disproportionately engaged with child welfare services including Aboriginal children, immigrant and refugee children, and children of single parents will be examined.
Students will be expected to engage in a process of integrating factors of gender, class, disability, race, culture and sexual orientation into their critical analysis of the ideological nature of Child Welfare.
This course does not teach you specifically how to become a worker in child protection, although we will discuss child protection, frameworks and issues of child protection work. Rather, it is intended to give you a perspective on the breadth and scope of Child Welfare work, and the issues that face workers in terms of policy, practice, ideology, and ethical issues. The course will be of interest to any students who will be working with children and families.
LEARNING OUTCOMES
Upon successful completion of this course, students will have:
1)
An understanding of the major historical, ideological, legal and professional themes that inform child welfare policy.

Week 2
Discussion 1-The Three Ethical Perspectives- (Due 10/23/14)
Define and contrast the three ethical perspectives. How do the perspectives differ from the ethical theories? What does each ethical perspective tell us about morality and virtue?
Think of an issue that has occurred in your community during the past year. This may be a public issue that has generated interest in the press, or it may be something that has come up in your child’s school, in your church, in a social club you belong to, or in your neighborhood. Describe the issue, and then analyze the issue from the viewpoint of one of the ethical perspectives. Apply the perspective to the issue in the same way that the author applies the theories and perspectives to the issues in the text.
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references.
Discussion 2-Constructing Arguments- (Due 10/23/14)
Identify the basic themes, topics, and concepts that make up the discipline of ethics. What are the themes or ideas that unite the different ethical theories? What is it that ethics aims to explain?
Describe how you might apply an ethical theme to one of the following social issues:
· Limiting smoking in public places, such as public buildings, restaurants, or city parks
· Municipal governments using public funds to build stadiums for professional sports teams
· Requiring a private landowner to provide habitat for endangered species on their properties
What is your goal when you apply an ethical theme to a specific real-world issue? Distinguish how applying an ethical theme to an issue would differ from applying one of the following perspectives: economics, politics, or religion. What themes might represent the alternative perspective to the issue?
Your initial post should be at least 250 words in length. Support your claims with examples from the required material(s) and/or other scholarly sources, and properly cite any references.
Assignment-Power Point Slide-Applying Theory: Environmental Issues- (Due 10/27/14)
(My topic will be Environmental justice/environmental racism)
Your goal for this assignment is to apply an ethical theory to a real-world situation. You will examine an environmental issue and apply one of the ethical theories to understand how human interactions with the natural environment raise ethical concerns. You will do this by preparing and posting a PowerPoint slideshow.

Assignment 2 LASA Ethical Decision Making Case Study PaperMan.docxrock73
Assignment 2: LASA: Ethical Decision Making: Case Study Paper
Many counselors are competent in their knowledge and understanding of ethical standards and relevant laws. However, real-world situations often do not lend themselves to straightforward solutions. Therefore, counselors must rely on ethical decision-making models to clearly explore ethical dilemmas and to identify appropriate courses of action for different dilemmas. This assignment will help you not only apply an ethical decision-making model but also clearly identify a conceptual model for risk management that can be used throughout one's clinical practice.
Directions:
For this assignment, you will review the following case study and incorporate the materials learned throughout the course to answer the set of requirements that follow in a paper approximately between 8-10 pages.
Case Study:
Zander is doing his master's in clinical mental health counseling and has become friends with Tasha, one of his peers in the program. Tasha has shared that she had a substance abuse problem in the past but did not attend an addiction counseling program; rather, she chose to self-monitor and attend AA meetings as needed. Tasha also confided that she has been involved in a sexual relationship for several weeks with Dr. Supervisor, a new supervisor at the agency where they are both interning. Dr. Supervisor has just recently started to provide on-site internship supervision to Zander and Tasha as well as two other students at the internship site.
Tasha reveals she began spending time with Dr. Supervisor 3 months ago, when he asked for her assistance in setting up a personal Facebook page, so he could better communicate with clients he sees at the site. Being well-versed in social media, Tasha helped him set one up and taught him how to use it. Over the next few weeks, they spent more time together, initially working on Dr. Supervisor's Facebook profile and trying to "friend" old clients he used to work with at another agency. Tasha was thrilled they had convinced at least five clients to leave Dr. Supervisor's old agency.
Dr. Supervisor and Tasha began to eventually go out to dinner. After 2 months, their interactions evolved into a sexual relationship. Tasha tells Zander that she's not concerned about any conflict of interest and that she and Dr. Supervisor will likely get engaged once she graduates from the program at the end of the year. Zander is becoming increasingly concerned, however, as he has seen Tasha and Dr. Supervisor meeting at an off-campus bar multiple times in recent weeks, and Tasha has begun to miss classes and other regularly scheduled meetings with clients. Zander reports a significant increase in his caseload because Tasha is missing meetings with clients.
Tasks:
In approximately 8–10 pages:
A. Identify Ethical Dilemma or Issues.

Appendix A
Case Study Assessment Criteria TOPIC: Business and The Integrity of Science.
For your Business Ethics course you will review, assess and report the ethical dilemma in a real business situation. The integrity of the scientific method and the sciences reputation are the ethical focus of this Case Study. Business in many ways is a significant contributor to science. Businesses need scientific data, results and recommendation to produce and market services and products. An obvious example is the pharmaceutical industry. The research, design and production of drugs are highly regulated. There is also a lot of money involved in this part of medicine. Drugs can be helpful and harmful at the same time. Therefore, there is an opportunity for many ethical conflicts to arise in the pharmaceutical industry.
Case study two (2) requires you to research the threat to scientific integrity by business people. Research how far corruption has infiltrated the science of the pharmaceutical industry. Look for bribes or other forms of coercion to have scientific results say what the money interest want it to say. This case study is about the possible and plausible ethical dilemmas that arise during the development and marketing and sale of prescription drugs.
Part of this course requirement is to become more sensitive and observant of the grey area circumstances and situations that converge for an ethical dilemma. The following assessment criteria shall be used for the class. More importantly this ABC 3 step critical thinking process may help you throughout your career.
1. A> What were the factual antecedents that preceded an ethical resolution, crisis, accident, crime or poor judgment that made the ethical dilemma transparent to those outside the specific enterprise?
2. B>What behaviors do you consider to be unethical and WHY? The why part of this assessment requires a guess or opinion regarding individuals’ motivation. Often a behavior is based on a strongly held value. For example, wanting more and more money is not only greedy but often motivated by pride or arrogance. Consider vices, virtues and values while elaborating on WHY. In this section you should suggest motivation for interfering with science. Corruption is about money, power and influence. Making money is not corrupt. Making money and endangering others lives is corrupt and unethical. (The answers to this question should include the largest amount of words for your case study. Ethics is mostly about why we behave rightly or wrongly. Remember that relative ethics would say more rightly or more wrongly. Make this section at least HALF of your entire paper). If there is corruption then you should also be able to comment intelligently about fairness and justice. Note that section 3 of the rubric awards points for using words used for ethical thinking and assessment. Also, you should not just pepper your paper with ethical words. Many sentences in CS1 ba.

For the first part of your final project, the critical analysis por.docxdenneymargareta
For the first part of your final project, the critical analysis portfolio, you will select an issue or event in diversity and critically analyze it through the
four general education lenses: history, humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences. By viewing the issue/event through these lenses, you will
gain insight into how the intersectional nature of diversity affects society, as well as both your own individual framework of perception and the choices, attitudes,
and behaviors of others in the world around you.
Prompt: First, review the module resources you have so far encountered, as well as your work in Module One. In addition, it is suggested that you visit the IDS
400 LibGuide for guidance on how to select a topic. Select one issue/event in diversity and write a paper that addresses how this issue/event fits into the
framework of diversity, and then addresses how each lens influences perceptions and attitudes toward the issue/event, diversity, and society. The paper should
outline each lens’s impact and framing of the issue/event. Be sure to provide a working thesis statement and clear definitions for your key terms.
Specifically, you must address the critical elements listed below.
I. Introduction: You will compile a series of critical analyses of a single issue/event in diversity through the four general education lenses: history,
humanities, natural and applied sciences, and social sciences.
A. Topic: Using the four lenses, explain how an issue/event within diversity has or has not influenced modern society.
II. Lens Connections: In this section of your assignment, you will describe the connections between your issue/event and each of the four general education
lenses.
A. What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of history for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence from theory
and research to support your analysis.
B. What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of the humanities for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence from
theory and research to support your analysis.
C. What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of the natural sciences for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence
from theory and research to support your analysis.
D. What is the connection of your issue/event to the lens of the social sciences for determining its impact on various institutions? Utilize evidence
from theory and research to support your analysis.Be sure to begin the research process early and use evidence from your research to support your responses. Refer to course resources, the LibGuide for
this class, and any other pertinent resources to support your responses. Although at least two sources are required for each lens, note that you may use
the same source for more than one lens if applicable. Relevant current news sources may be used with instructor approva.
Assignment Connecting Knowledge and ResearchIn order to pro.docxwilliejgrant41084
Assignment: Connecting Knowledge and Research
In order to provide the appropriate intervention, social workers first need to have conducted a thorough assessment. Having a comprehensive understanding of a client and their social environment, including the influence of racism and ethnocentrism, allows a social worker to accurately identify the presenting problems and help the client develop goals to address their needs. Not completing a full assessment may result in inaccurately identifying the presenting problem and pushing goals on the client to which they do not agree. A good assessment is the best foundation for treatment planning.
In addition, evidence based practice requires social workers to use the best available evidence to inform their practice decisions. This assignment helps you prepare for the final project by beginning to identify the presenting problem and possible goals, as well as beginning the research process to inform your treatment recommendations when working with the identified client in a case study.
To prepare:
Conduct research in the Walden library to locate
at least
1 peer-reviewed scholarly resource(s) that could inform your assessment or intervention with the case you plan to use in your final project.
By Day 7
Submit
a 2-3 page paper in which you:
Identify the case you will be using for the final project
Describe the presenting problem(s)
Describe 2 goals for the client based on their presenting problem
Identify a specific peer-reviewed article and explain how it could inform understanding of the problem/population, development of goals, or intervention and treatment plan
Explain how ethnocentrism and racism may influence the case (make sure to draw from this week’s assigned readings)

Additional tips The purpose of the final assignment is for yo.docxdaniahendric
Additional tips:
The purpose of the final assignment is for you to analyze an existing policy (at the federal, state, or local level) and discuss its impact on a social problem. You aren’t proposing a policy, but analyzing an existing policy of interest to you.
Be sure to take enough time reading about the policy you selected to thoroughly understand it in an in-depth way and be able to confidently answer the questions in the assignment.
Please take time to carefully read each question in the assignment and be sure to answer it. As you proof-read your paper, take the opportunity to again review the assignment and double check that you have thoroughly but succinctly provided the information for each applicable question.
Please make sure you are using APA style in your final paper, including the title page with name and dates.
The assignment is 8 – 10 pages long because that’s roughly the length of a comprehensive social policy analysis. Please try to refrain from adding more words than necessary to stretch the length.
Proof-reading more than once is a great idea to try to catch sentences that aren’t sentences and words that are inadvertently misused. Read it out loud. I understand that the U of MD’s writing lab is available to help those interested in strengthening their writing skills – don’t hesitate to take advantage of it!
My expectation is that direct quotes be kept to a minimum in that graduate-level writing involves synthesizing ideas and then presenting them in your OWN words. For those quotes you do use, please be sure to use the correct citation and quotation marks. Not doing so may be considered plagiarism and will be responded to accordingly.
Assignment 2: Policy Analysis. DUE: 11/28
For this assignment, you will examine a social policy at the local, state or federal level by the legislative, executive, or judicial branch of government. The policy may be addressing a social issue that directly or indirectly affects the clients served by your field placement, agency of employment, your community, or who you plan to work with after graduation. Drawing from class materials and external sources, write an 8-10 page policy analysis (double-spaced, 12 point font, with 1” margins). Your paper should address the following:
Describe the social issue and identify the population-at-risk. Summarize existing research on this social issue.
What is the historical context of the policy? How did the social issue come to the attention of policymakers? Who were/are the key actors who made the issue “legitimate” and mobilized support for or against the policy? Were there previous policy attempts to address this issue?
Describe the social policy, answering the following questions:
What kinds of benefits are offered?
What are the bases of social allocation? (who is eligible)
How are the benefits to be delivered?
How are the benefits financed?
What is the purpose/goal of the social policy? What assumptions about problem ...

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
The Indian economy is classified into different sectors to simplify the analysis and understanding of economic activities. For Class 10, it's essential to grasp the sectors of the Indian economy, understand their characteristics, and recognize their importance. This guide will provide detailed notes on the Sectors of the Indian Economy Class 10, using specific long-tail keywords to enhance comprehension.

Case Studies Assignment Ethics in the Social Sciences Spring 2022 1 ASSESSMENT TASK:
CASE STUDIES (45MARKS) Due: 27th October 2022, 11:59pm Work count: 1500 words
There is a +/-10% leeway on the word limits. For this task, this means 1350-1650 words
are acceptable (excluding reference list). Your intext citations count towards the word
count. Minimum number of references: You should make use of a minimum of 8 references.
At least 6 of these references should be scholarly sources. Students will be expected to read
widely for this assessment task and identify a range of reputable sources that will be useful
to completing the paper. It would be particularly beneficial to make use of the readings
provided to you in the readings and resources tab and from the list for each case study,
however you are welcome to, and strongly encouraged, to supplement the research by
finding your own. *Wikipedia will not be considered a legitimate reference. *Please be
advised that websites are of inconsistent value and you need to be vigilant in your use of
various websites (this includes blogs, YouTube, social media platforms etc). *The
Conversation is not a scholarly source. *Government reports will be considered a scholarly
source. You are strongly advised to use the WSU library webpage to locate resources for this
task. A reference list should be provided at the end of your answer (not included in the
word count). These must be cited at some point within your response. You are encouraged
to use the suggested readings and resources below. Ensure that you acknowledge all
sources and influences on your ideas. **** Case Studies Assignment Ethics in the Social
Sciences Spring 2022 2 Instructions Choose a case study from the list below. You will be
expected to consider what dilemmas are presented by the case study, and how these issues
and the solution might be informed by the theories examined this semester. This
assessment is designed to help you explore the conversations around ethics in your
academic discipline and/or professional pathway. The extra readings and resources will be
useful for this task. You are also encouraged to do independent research and use applicable
scholarly literature in addition to those provided to you. For this assessment, you will need
to choose two of the following theories to apply to the case study: • Universal Ethical
Egoism • Act Utilitarianism • Rule Utilitarianism • Divine Command Theory • Kant’s Duty
Ethics • Ross’s Prima Facie Duties • Nicomacean Virtue Ethics • Confucian Role Ethics •
Indigenous Australian Philosophy(s) ***The following is a guide for completing the written
paper: 1. The introduction should identify the case study that you have chosen and the two
theories you are going to apply to the case. Detailed in criteria 1. 2. The first section of the
body of the paper should detail the dilemmas presented by the case study. This is where you
2. should provide some ’facts’ and context around the Case Studies Assignment Ethics in the
Social Sciences Spring 2022 3 case which may include academic material from the
additional readings, legislation, policy, scientific/medical evidence, statistics, government
and NGO reports, etc. This is also where any relevant codes of ethics/conduct should be
identified. These should be relevant to Australian professional conduct – that is, Australian
focused codes of ethics/conducts. The evidence presented here will be the foundation of
your ethical analysis and is detailed in marking criteria 2. 3. Section two of the paper should
analyse how your two theories apply to the case study. This will include applying all
components of each theory to the case study, the strengths and weaknesses of applying
each theory to the case study and providing consideration of the result of using each theory
for all stakeholders impacted by the case study. You can conduct this analysis separately or
juxtapose both theories throughout the structure of the paper; you have creative license in
expressing the analysis. This section should form the bulk of your paper and is covered in
marking criteria 3, 4, and 5. 4. The final section of the paper should attempt to provide a
feasible, workable, and ethical solution to the dilemma by synthesising the main arguments
that have been made throughout the paper and should particularly draw upon the strengths
discussed. This is covered in marking criteria 6. CASE STUDIES Humanitarian Support
Worker You work for an agency supporting on shore asylum seekers. Asylum seekers are
very often financially impoverished with many not being able to easily access the Asylum
Seeker Assistance Scheme or the Community Assistance Support Program. Your
organisation can provide food vouchers, a small basic amount of cash each week and
referrals to other agencies. One of the families you have been working with for a long time
come to see you and are concerned about being made homeless as they cannot pay their
rent. They have two young children. The father works cash-in-hand at a restaurant but
other than that they are not eligible for government assistance. The Case Studies
Assignment Ethics in the Social Sciences Spring 2022 4 father has recently lost this income
source when the eatery closed during the COVID 19 lockdowns. You know this family is
honest and trying hard to keep their head above water. You have some access to
supplementary funds but if you give money to them there will be less for others. What
would you do? [Case study kindly contributed by: Dr Melissa Phillips, Lecturer,

org.ezproxy.uws.edu.au/10.1111/disa.12191 Social Worker You are a newly practicing
social worker and you have just started your first job at an out of home care facility in a
small regional town in NSW. This is the only such facility that supports vulnerable youth
within an 8hour drive radius. It is also the only place that is employing social workers in the
3. local area. By working here, you are able to remain in the town in which you grew up, near
to your family with whom you are very close. As part of your employment contract, you
have signed a confidentiality agreement. During your first few weeks at the facility, you
begin to have concerns about the running of the facility. There appears to be financial
mismanagement leaving clients living in below standard accommodation. In addition, one
16-year-old client has also disclosed to you that they have been in a romantic relationship
with a senior youth worker for over a year and a half. You have brought your concerns to
the manager who has admitted that he too had heard “rumours” of this relationship and
that “sometimes the books just don’t quite balance” but is not going to investigate these
concerns further. You believe that he is not interested in addressing these issues as he is
near retirement and wants an easy road out. Case Studies Assignment Ethics in the Social
Sciences Spring 2022 5 Considering you are legally muzzled from disclosing the happenings
in the facility, currently still in your probation period, and this is the only job in the area in
your profession, what course of action have you decided to take regarding these issues?

Makers The COVID 19 pandemic has highlighted the precarious nature of Working Holiday
Makers (WHM) in Australia and New Zealand but also how vital such temporary workers
are to these countries’ economies. Although many WHMs enjoy their experiences Case
Studies Assignment Ethics in the Social Sciences Spring 2022 6 abroad, there is much
concern regarding wage thefts, dangerous and largely informal working conditions and that
it is an exploitative means by which those from poorer countries can participate in global
economics as a way to reduce poverty in their own countries. Indeed, these workers are
also popular among employers because many will accept poor conditions and low pay.
Moreover, some economies cannot function without them. In addition, many rural and
regional towns are heavily reliant on working holiday makers for tourism – they create
4. demand for jobs and local infrastructure. Researchers have proposed that without them
some rural and regional economies would simply not survive. Whilst these programs can
offer exciting tourist experiences for WHM, and provide economic gain and food security for
the host nation this is often at the expense of WHM’s rights and safety. Are Working Holiday
visas ethical? What ethical guidance can be used to improve the processes and outcomes in
this context? [Case study kindly contributed by: Ms Donna James, Lecturer in Heritage and

a local council planning group. The area is very culturally diverse with a high proportion of
young families. A developer wants to build a multimillion-dollar development in the area.
This development will be a boost for the local economy that has taken a slump since the
COVID 19 pandemic. The developer is promising that 10% of the apartments built will be
allocated to affordable housing, the plan provides opportunities for local businesses and
provision for a muchneeded childcare centre. However, the development requires the
removal of green space that is well utilised by the community and a significant sacred
Indigenous site. The council must consider all the needs of the community, including those
who are often marginalised and silenced, the rights of the Indigenous custodians of the area,
as well as concerns for ‘natural’ heritage’. What do you advise the council planning group to
do? [Case study kindly contributed by: Dr Alanna Kamp, Lecturer in Geography, and Dr

Cybersecurity and whistleblowing You are working as a cybersecurity analyst in a large
government organisation. You feel the focus of the work is mostly good and you are proud
to contribute to its goals. Recently you have been given a significant promotion and moved
to another division in the organisations. This position has a higher security clearance
requirement and is a significant “step up” from the work you have been previously doing.
After a few months, you notice that this part of the organisation is engaged in what you
believe to be unethical conduct. There is active surveillance of Australians who have been
racially profiled. You are considering whether you should steal electronic documentation of
these shady practices to provide to the media and law enforcement to shine a light on these
wrongdoings. However, this may in turn reveal sensitive information that could breach
national security as well as endanger the lives of intelligence operatives and their families
who are working in the field. Do you blow the whistle? [Case study is inspired by the kind

Spring 2022 9 Domestic Violence and protecting the community You have just started your
first job as a police officer at a local station. The station is a good place to work, your
colleagues are supportive and look out for each other. One night shift you are called to a
disturbance reported by a neighbour. They have heard screaming and objects being broken.
The address seems to be known to your partner. Your partner has been working at the
station for a couple of years and has only ever performed her policing duties on shift with
you to a high standard. As you approach the home, your partner tells you to let her handle
the issue and to say nothing to anyone about what you will encounter. Upon the door
opening, you realise that you are at the home of the station’s sergeant. There is the smell of
6. alcohol from her. There is another woman in the home who has bruising on her face and
who is emotionally distort. There are clear signs of an altercation between the two. Your
partner talks to your sergeant. It is clear, that this is not the first time that she has been
called to the house. Your sergeant is apologetic for the call out and minimises the situation.
When you take the woman aside and ask her if she wishes to press charges, she quietly says
it was “just a silly fight, nothing to worry about” and she does not wish to press charges
formally. You and your partner return to the patrol car. You find out that your sergeant lives
with her same-sex partner but has not disclosed her sexuality to her colleagues at the
station. Your partner notes thatshe prefers to handle these (regular) call outs informally as
she respects the sergeant and she “has a good heart”. She is a high-ranking woman who
faced challenges getting to her position and is a big support of other women officers at the
station. Also, by making these matters official it would likely “out” your sergeant. Besides,
your partner doesn’t really think it is domestic violence if it is between two women – just
heated arguments that can get out of hand. The following day your sergeant approaches you
to thank you for your discretion about the previous evening’s events. You feel very
uncomfortable that this issue has not been reported in any way especially given police
officers are sworn to protect the community. But you are new to the station and your
career, do not wish to get your sergeant into trouble and “out” her. Do you address this
incident, or do you say nothing? [Case study was inspired by contributions from: Dr Toby

disability support worker for two years and know her and her family well. Angela is 15
years old and would refer to herself as neurodiverse. She was diagnosed with Autism and
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder in her early teens. Angela lives at home with her
parents and her younger sister. She lives in a small town and feels comfortable in this area
as she has grown up in the community. Over the past six months Angela has become
7. increasingly challenging to live with and has occasionally become violent with her younger
sister. She is keen to exert her independence and wants to be a “normal” teenager. She will
often go missing from the family home for days. Her parents are concerned that she is
engaging in risky behaviour of various kinds. They are also concerned for their other
daughter who also has the right to be safe in her own home. In a recent incident, Angela’s
sister found drug paraphernalia in her room and Angela became very violent with her sister.
Angela’s parents called the police in a desperate attempt for assistance. Neither Angela nor
her parents wish her to be removed from the family home, but they are not able to avail of
the type of support that Angela and the family need in the home. It is becoming clear that
Angela’s parents are unable to manage Angela’s needs, and there are real concerns for the
safety of her sister. The alternative is for Angela to be put in out of home care, but the only
available accommodation is a three-hour journey from Angela’s town. This would mean she
Case Studies Assignment Ethics in the Social Sciences Spring 2022 11 would rarely see her
family and would be in a new environment which may cause her distress. This is not what
her family want either. As her disability support worker what would you advise to be the
best course of action in this situation? [Case study inspired by kind contributions from: Dr

because of COVID 19 university budget cuts. A senior scholar who has just won a big
Australian Research Council grant has invited you to join him in conducting research in a
remote Aboriginal community in the Northern Territory. This will be a 12-month contract
and he also promises that you will be co-author on all the academic outputs that come from
the research. You are an early career researcher and so this employment opportunity and
potential to add to your CV is very enticing. You agree. You are told that the community
Elders have previously given permission to the research team to work on Country and with
them. However, upon arrival it soon becomes apparent that the process by which the lead
researcher sought permission was dubious at best. He did not provide the community with
all the details of what the research process entails and how the work will be used, and so
their consent was not informed. It too becomes clear to you that the research is not being
conducted in culturally respectful ways and it is very opaque how the research would
materially benefit the community. The research team also have no Aboriginal scholars on it.
You know that these research practices are extractive and unethical, but you are sure that if
you challenge the lead investigator, he will likely find a way to remove you from the project.
And you really need the work. How would you proceed? Some resources to start you off

graduate. You have thus enrolled in the Summer semester so that you can graduate the
following Autumn. Things have not gone well with you this semester. In addition to the long
Covid symptoms you are experiencing, you have had to take on multiple shifts at work to
contribute to the running of the household. You are tired all the time, and this is taking a toll
on your mental health. You have missed multiple tutorials, fallen behind on your study and
have handed in your previous two assessments late, copping late penalties. You are at risk
of failing again, delaying graduation and adding to your HECS debt. You are overwhelmed
by it all. A friend who is in their second year, and who regularly achieves distinctions, has
decided that university is not for them and now that the borders are open they are going
travelling. They completed their final assessment early, and given they have no interest in
completing their degree and can see what a state you are in emotionally, they have offered
to give you their assessment. They believe this is their good deed to help a friend out. You
know that this is academically dishonest as this is not your own work, but you also know
that you are not likely to get caught given the assessment is a well reference piece and
Turnitin will not pick up any concerning matches. All you have to do is put your name on
the assessment task and submit it as your own. Do you take your friend’s assessment as
your own and be sure to pass the unit, or do you write your own assessment but given how
far behind you are with your work you may not get a high enough mark to pass the subject,
failing for a second time? Some resources to start you off Guerrero-Dib, J.G., Portales, L. &
