Describe the ethical issues involved in this situation. Discuss any other concerns about the web developer/consultant’s strategies.

/in /by

A local shelter that receives funding from the National Institute of Health and Mental Health is upgrading its website. Along with several upgrades to the website, the web developer/consultant makes a suggestion that the shelter add a testimonial page where local citizens can describe their positive interactions with the shelter and its services. Since the web developer/consultant want to get that page up and running first, the developer suggests using some positive ratings and responses from Angie’s List® and other similar ratings sites that already have positive stories and experiences with the shelter.

The director of the shelter loves the idea of a testimonial page. She thinks it would really add to the community feel of the shelter. However, knowing her funding source, she researches the APA Ethics Code and believes the shelter would be acting inappropriately. To discuss the matter in further detail, the director of the shelter calls you for an ethics consult.

In 500-750 words, explain the advice you would give:

  1. Describe the ethical issues involved in this situation.
  2. Discuss any other concerns about the web developer/consultant’s strategies.
  3. Explain some recommendations that you would make to the shelter.

Use two to three scholarly sources to support your claims.

the idea of placing a tax on junk food as a social engineering approach to reducing obesity.

1. Should we enact this? Why or why not?

2. Whether you agree with it or not, assume that junk foods are going to be taxed. What five foods would you tax if you were told to choose them?

3. How high should the tax be in order to have its intended effect?

4. What are the ethical implications of this approach? For instance: Would some groups be hurt or helped more than others? How would the economy be affected? Would this be the government reaching too far, or would it be comparable to other effective social engineering policies (such as seat belt use or smoking reduction) that have been enacted and that we now take for granted?

Where does this lie on the balance between our right to eat what we want and our right to not pay higher health care bills because other people eat poorly and thus raise everyone’s health costs?

(These questions are just examples, of course, so please feel free to consider other ethical implications.)
