PLEASE UPLOAD EACH ASSIGNMENT SEPARATELY Assignment 1 Diversity and Ethical Codes A manager at your company overhears another employee who is Caucasian directing the N-word at an African-American employee. When she confronts him, he claims that he was using it as a term of endearment—a claim that is not explicitly contested by the “friend” to whom he's directing it. The manager, concerned that her being Caucasian and in a position of authority, fears her intervention may escalate things, so she chose to accept the explanation and move on. The manager has come to you, the Human Resources Manager, for advice. In a 4-page paper (excluding references and title page), discuss the following: Your company’s diversity code states: “As team members, we have a responsibility to: a) Do our part to help Acme to serve and earn business from a wide variety of communities and stakeholders. b) Integrate diversity into our sourcing processes. c) Help create an environment in which all team members can contribute, develop, and fully use their talents. d) Keep an open mind to new ideas, and listen to different points of view." What are some of the limitations of the company's diversity code for multicultural professional practice?

In what ways do you believe this code is culturally biased and culturally encapsulated? What evidence is there that this code is culturally sensitive? If you believe there is no evidence that the code is culturally sensitive, what evidence is there that the code is not culturally sensitive? Discuss the importance of cultural sensitivity, and explain what you believe are the implications for ethical professional practice. In addition to the required readings, cite at least two additional references that include examples of a better ethical code.

Assignment 2 Ethical Practice and Legislation Clients must be assured that all aspects of their communication with any professional regarding themselves or their family members will be held in the strictest confidence. Clients who cannot trust professionals to treat information as confidential may withhold information that is important to investigation, assessment, and treatment. When professionals disregard the privacy of their clients, the clients are injured in obvious and/or subtle ways. A professional code of ethics provides guidance here. Codes of ethics fulfill three major objectives: to educate professionals about sound ethical conduct, to provide a mechanism for professional accountability, and to be a catalyst for improving practice.

In this way, they provide a foundation for professional competency and integrity. In a 4-page paper (excluding references and title page), discuss how your professional ethics code fulfills these objectives. As ethical issues are also influenced by legislation, discuss how you believe legislation could likewise contribute to the fulfillment of these objectives. Discuss the most significant ways that you believe legislation and ethical codes can affect your future professional practice. To support your ideas, cite one or more landmark court cases from our readings addressing responsible ethical and legal professional practice, and discuss implications for ethical and responsible practice.

This paper should reflect an integration of your knowledge of ethical practice, ethical codes, and legislative influences on professional practice. In addition to the required readings, cite at least two scholarly references. Assignment 3 Ethical Dilemmas In a 4-page paper, explain what you would do if you found an unethical practice in your workplace. Would it depend on the severity of the unethical practice? Provide a couple examples of potential unethical practices in your organization that could be considered very minor that people have come to “accept†as opposed to reporting.

Justify why you think that people tend to accept some unethical practices while others are not accepted. Create a continuum of severity model regarding ethical practices in organizations and discuss your model. How did you arrive at the model you created? Assignment 4 Competency Case Dilemma In a 4-page paper (excluding references and title page), discuss a competency-related scenario or a case of your choice, either from our readings or related to a situation that you have encountered in which you address the specific steps you would take to embrace ethical practices in your work. In what ways does the scenario you have selected present an ethical, legal, professional, or moral problem related to competency issues?

In what way does your professional code of conduct offer possible solutions or opportunities for resolution? What are the implications of your ethical decision-making and actions for the client in this case, for those related to the client, and for you as a professional? In addition to the required readings, cite at least two additional references.
