to recognize how organizational, cultural and social differences may influence ethical codes

Step 1. Search for and select a code of ethics from either (a) a US profession that is related to psychology (eg social work, physical therapy, engineering, banking, legal services, medicine or similar) or (b) search for and select a code of ethics from a psychological organization in another country (Tien et al p 540 has links to some, but I encourage you to explore beyond this list).

Step 2.

(a)  Write a comparison of the code you have selected with that of the APA. https://www.apa.org/ethics/code/ethics-code-2017.p… this by identifying:

1. what ethical principles and issues are common to both;
2. which of the key elements each code has or emphasizes; 
3. elements or principles unique to either code;
4. and propose possible reasons for the differences in the two codes (600-800 words).

(b) Identify how well each code is influenced by and accommodates the special needs of different organizational pressures or national cultures. (600-800 words)

(c) Identify how well each code (and its associated guidelines, if any) specifically addresses and accommodates the needs and values of a minority or marginalised group of interest to you. (200-400 words)

(d)  Identify ethical issues raised by current events that either code has not caught up with.   (200-400 words)

(e) Write a brief closing summary stating which code you would prefer to work under and why. (200-400 words).
