The profession of social work in the United States has a long history of being attacked by pro-industrialization forces. The Settlement House Movement, with its grassroots, group style approach to combating poverty met with hostility shortly after it was founded. Allegations of subversive ideals, the professionalization of social work, and the rise of McCarthyism drove most of the progressives underground until the 1960s. Although the caseworker approach, with its emphasis on a supposed link between character defects and poverty, became dominant, there are still many contemporary examples organizations fighting against poverty and other human rights violations without bias.

Health Care – Ethical Issues in Evaluation Research Ben is a professor and Alyssa is his graduate student in health sciences. Ben is the program chair for a conference with publications that are "refereed" or reviewed by an expert board of editors before publication. The conference has a policy that accepted papers must be presented by their authors but Ben does not mention this policy to Alyssa. He suggests that Alyssa submit a paper to the conference and that he will present it because the conference is being held abroad and he cannot support her trip to the conference. Alyssa writes the paper entirely with her own research while funded by an external fellowship, and submits it with herself as the sole author. She gives several drafts to Ben, who does not comment on any of them. Alyssa's paper is accepted by the conference, she is then advised of their policy about paper presentation by authors and she is surprised by it. She asks Ben about the policy and he curtly replies that she will have to make him a co-author on her paper. Alyssa finds this unreasonable under the circumstances but cannot afford to attend the conference on her own. Ben committed several ethical violations. He used his superior educational/professional position to induce unethical behavior by Alyssa and use Alyssa's research and resulting paper as his own without contributing to either the research or the paper. In addition, Ben acted unethically as a fellow researcher/writer, again by inducing unethical behavior and treating its fruits as his own. Alyssa acted unethically by using her external fellowship to perform research and write a resulting paper for another conference, though the fruits of her research/writing belong to the source of her external fellowship. In view of those unethical behaviors, Alyssa can take several courses of action, the best of which appears to be submitting the paper to the source of her external fellowship and withdrawing the paper from consideration by Ben's conference.

The issue of national security has been a subject that has kept the headlines of the newspapers especially since the 9/11 terrorist attacks. The events in the United States demonstrated that the world, as it was in 2001, was not prepared for a security breach that was unconventional in nature and modus operandi. Since then, the national security strategies have changed dramatically throughout the world. One of the most significant change if not the most significant, took place in the United States that considered itself a true victim of the terrorist phenomenon and decided to prevent further events to ever take place on American soil. From that point onwards, all measures that have been taken to prevent further terrorist attacks have been taken in the name of national security and strategic purposes. In this sense, "September 11, however, jolted Americans into facing the realization that national security involves much more than military strength and manpower" (Special
