Common practitioner based ethical dilemma within your chosen profession (using text and images) – outline the issue and instruct viewers on the most appropriate response using the relevant professional codes of ethics.

Common practitioner based ethical dilemma within your chosen profession (using text and images) – outline the issue and instruct viewers on the most appropriate response using the relevant professional codes of ethics.

1. Locate an ethical dilemma that is commonly identified within a social, human services, criminal justice, or health profession.
2. Choose a particular profession that interests you and that you are considering as a future career option. Within these resources, choose an ethical issue that draws your attention. You may also choose to base your poster on a particular case study within the chosen resource(s).
3. Research the professional codes of conduct, ethics, and/or practice that relate to this profession and to the dilemma. Consider particular clauses and sections that provide insights into the expected response to the dilemma.
Some questions you may consider in your response:
– What is the core issue and the best response?
– Who is responsible for its implementation?
– Why is this clause the most appropriate?
– How should it be implemented?
4. The layout should include text, diagrams, charts, and images, and should be properly referenced and appropriately structured.

* References should be from 2010 to 2018
* Include Introduction and conclusion

Questions to Ponder: 1. Were the actions of the technologist appropriate? Explain why or why not. 2. If you were the technologist, what would you have done differently?

A technologist is about to perform a small bowel series (SBS) on a 72 year old male patient who comes to the x-ray department via stretcher. The patient tells the radiographer that they cannot stand nor sit up due to recent left hip surgery. The patient is moved onto the x-ray table in a supine position & a preliminary “scout” image is taken. After checking with the radiologist the radiographer is instructed to “begin the exam.” The technologist fills a cup with barium, places a straw inside & instructs the patient to turn their head and “drink” from the straw. The technologist tells the patient that after the cup is done he will take a series of images. After approximately half of the barium is consumed the patient stops & complains of nausea. The technologist notices that the patient is sweating & begins to cough a bit. The technologist asks the patient if he thinks he is going to “throw up.” The patient turns his head & immediately begins to vomit. Although the vomiting quickly stops, the patient now appears to be taking shallow breaths & does not respond to the technologist. The radiographer hurries out of the room to find the nurse assigned to the x-ray department.
Questions to Ponder:
1. Were the actions of the technologist appropriate? Explain why or why not.
2. If you were the technologist, what would you have done differently?

For this assignment, explain the historical context and cultural traditions which led to the development of the mechanical clock. Do research on how the development and adoption of the mechanical clock in Europe later affected the United States. Be sure to give examples. Then, consider your own experience with a form of artifactual timekeeping. Consider the influence that precision in accurate timekeeping has had upon your own behavior, both in your everyday life and especially as an engineer

Technology is often the product of people and their circumstances, yet its influence also far surpasses its immediate environment. This understanding of technology helps to explain the resulting changes to human behavior that occur over time, especially when one considers the historical periods involved in the development and distributions of specific technologies.
In keeping with the idea that some technologies may possess inherent value-laden qualities, consider how the invention of mechanized timekeeping devices (such as the mechanical clock) have radically changed human behavior over the last 1000 years.

In your write up, be sure to:
1. Describe the history of the mechanical clock, including at least one influence that led to its development (e.g., historical, cultural, religious, social, economic, political).
2. Explain how the mechanical clock gave rise to the concept of artifactual time.
3. Explain how precision in accurate timekeeping affected human behavior in both Europe and the United States. Give examples.
4. Think about how artifactual timekeeping has affected your own behavior, both in your everyday life and especially as an engineer. That is, consider the importance of measuring time with accuracy and precision that makes possible your training as an engineer.

Acculturation Interview Essay

You will be submitting an 8-10 page paper, following the APA Style Guidelines, in which you analyze the existing literature on acculturation and global mobility. You will consider the themes that your interview subject outlined in his/her discussion. It is important for you to create a strong thesis about the acculturation experience that the individual articulated as well as your response to the story. You might want to consider the following questions, among others that you develop, in generating your thesis:
What acculturation philosophy did the individual articulate? How does that philosophy relate to the readings that you have done throughout the class? What are the connections? What are some of the disjunctions between lived experience and theory?
What systems and support did the individual set up in order to achieve within this resettlement process? What were the props that this individual used? What type of psychological self-care did this person rely on? What type of external (family, organizations, school, friends, therapists) did this person have?
What feelings of loss and gain did the person articulate?
Based on your own experience and the readings, how did you respond to this particular individual story? How did hearing this story help you in considering your own acculturation philosophy? What have you learned that you can apply in some of your future encounters?
What themes emerged from the interview? What did you learn about the process of interviewing? What insights did you gain about acculturation processes and what challenges might you encounter as an international psychologist?

Please reflect on the role of acculturation in your personal life and your professional practice. How can undergoing the process of acculturation affect your individual professional development as a future international psychologist? Remember to frame your reflections within the scope of existing literature on acculturation. (APA format, 4 pages).
