/in /by

Ethical dilemmas occur in all areas of social work practice, including in military social work. At times, social workers practicing in a military setting may face especially complex ethical challenges in honoring the NASW Code of Ethics while also obeying military orders or policies.
For example, as a social worker, one is required to follow the NASW Code of Ethics, even on behalf of the enemy. At the same time, the social worker, as a service member, is obligated to support the mission and military operations and maintain military readiness. In this Discussion, you explore ethical dilemmas that may challenge you in a military environment.
To prepare for this Discussion, read the Learning Resources about ethical dilemmas faced by social workers within the military system and the NASW standards.
Post a response in which you do the following:  (2 to 3 pages only)
Identify two areas of practice within the military system that have a potential for an ethical dilemma.
Describe how the areas of practice relate to the identified NASW standards.
Describe how the NASW standards might apply to an ethical dilemma.

Deliverance: 6 pages
When an institution has the opportunity to perform an external scan, the results of that scan can help the institution know how to elicit community support and gather local affiliations. Besides helping the local community itself, community participation can only enhance the mission of that institution which in turn results in that institution’s physical and monetary growth. An external scan can provide valuable information about an institution’s surroundings including the community’s economical, educational, and cultural characteristics.
Select 3–5 data trend areas.
For this assignment, select an educational institution and provide the results of a previously conducted external scan.
The scan can include but is not limited to some of the following data trend areas:
Regional and local demographics including population and ethnicity
Number and types of churches and organizations
Numbers of members within these organizations
Politically connected individuals and leaders and the organizations they represent
Existing festivals, celebrations, and their locations and dates
Professional and semiprofessional sports teams
Number of people with degrees and higher education
Average income and number employed
School-age populations, number of schools, colleges, and other educational institutions
Number and size of industries, manufacturers, warehouses, and so forth
Amount and methods of transportation including buses, trains, airports, and so forth
Technology use and interest within the local area
Number of homeowners, renters, married couples, unmarried individuals, families, and so forth
In a paper of 6–9 pages, present the following:
Provide the results of the external scan that you have chosen.
Provide several strategic or operational planning recommendations based on the results of the scan.
The results of your external scan should indicate how the institution can better provide one of the following:

Innovative programs that meet the needs of the community
Vocational and job-related programs or curriculum changes
Collaborative program with public and private K–12 schools such as tech-prep
