Ethical issues that might arise when conducting social work
Different cultures have different standards about the appropriate gender roles of men and women. According to the National Association of Social Workers: "(c) Social workers should obtain education about and seek to understand the nature of social diversity and oppression with respect to race, ethnicity, national origin, color, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, age, marital status, political belief, religion, immigration status, and mental or physical disability" (1.05). This may place a social worker in a difficult position when he or...
The social worker must ask him or herself: am I mistranslating the norms of this culture into my own, or is this a situation which requires me to intervene, to help a woman who would otherwise not have an advocate? In some instances, the answer may be both. While cultural norms may vary, social workers cannot be pure cultural relativists. They must be sensitive to the needs of all of the parties in question, while still upholding certain moral standards.
Very often, women from all cultures who are in abusive situations have an ambivalent relationship with their abusive husband or boyfriend and may be unwilling to come forward to speak about their abuse to a third party.

Very often, women from all cultures who are in abusive situations have an ambivalent relationship with their abusive husband or boyfriend and may be unwilling to come forward to speak about their abuse to a third party. Even when they do, they may be quick to retract the evidence. Immigrants who come from a culture where patriarchal standards are the norm and who have had bad experiences with the authorities in their home country may be even more reluctant to be forthcoming. But while the social worker must be cognizant of these factors, culture cannot be used as an 'excuse' for abuse.
Language barriers may often present problems for women who are abused, as they may feel particularly vulnerable, and worry that if they come forward they will not have any economic opportunities, if they separate from their male partner. The most extreme example of this is women who are in enslaved relationships to a male. For example, it is estimated that 28% of trafficked women saw a health care professional while they were still in captivity. Despite being in contact with a person who could potentially come to their aid, women were afraid to come forward. Also, women may have difficulty communicating their distress in explicit terms, and the observer must be able to 'read' the nonverbal signs that a woman who is being abused, enslaved, or otherwise exploited by a male may show. These women often have symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, reports of chronic pain (including sexually-related pain like STDs and pelvic pain), or are not treated with standard medical care because of their partner's attempt to keep them out of the medical system (Dovydaitis 2011). Women may be brought into the country illegally and have no health insurance, which can also limit their ability to be 'found' by a healthcare or social worker, until it is too late, making it all the more important that the opportunity is seized when it arises.
Another ethical code of the National Association of Social Workers reads: "(d) Social workers should act to
Ethics in Mental HealthCare (Anorexia) Eating disorders consist of a variety of symptoms with psychological, social, and physical characteristics. While the physical complications associated with these disorders may cause significant concern to the family members and the health care team, bulimia nervosa and anorexia nervosa are two of the common eating disorders having substantial long-term social and physical sequelae that make recovery difficult. The long-term disabilities associated with these eating disorders
Ethical Issues in Family and Marital Therapy It has been mentioned that insufficiencies of the APA ethical standards for marriage and family therapy have not been appreciated fully. Guidelines that are in regards to the therapist accountability, confidentiality, and informed consent can really just sometimes turn out to be unclear with individual clients, nevertheless they are even more complex when multiple family associates are observed together when they are in therapy.
4. Conclusions In the article Ethical Issues in Information Technology, author Richard T. DeGeorge points out the existence of five interrelated ethical issues: issues in the usage of technology in business, issues in the it business, issues related to the Internet, issues in e-business and issues affecting the social background.

Ethical issues are now just as much of a concern as they were thirty years or more ago. (Qian, Gao, Yao & Rodriguez) Ethics are a clear set of principles dealing with what is considered appropriate behavior in-group and individual counseling. These standards were created not only to protect clients, but also to protect counselors. As a counselor, a fine line can easily be crossed if the counselor and/or the
Ethical Issues in Qualitative Research Qualitative research is research performed on relatively small sample groups. The research tends to be very specialized and does not require large amounts of numerical information for its conclusion to be drawn. While qualitative research is for the most part accepted into academia, there are still some concerns that arise with qualitative research that are not present in quantitative research. These concerns include conflicts of interest,
