week-2-learning-activity-1

Theme One: Decision Making Theories

Read:

Continue to refine your understanding of the relationship between ethics and the law. Your first learning activity will require that you respond in writing to the following scenario:

Learning Activity #1

You are the CEO of a business that employs 25 employees and owns and operates a clothing design company, which uses locally sourced and organic cotton material, hand-sews its clothes, uses artisans in the community, pays a fair wage (with “benefits”), and is attempting to revitalize the clothing industry in the South. Your biggest challenges consist of trying to keep your prices down, while purchasing locally-sourced organic material which is hand-sewn by American workers, while other companies have out-sourced their supply chain and manufacturing to 3rd world countries at a fraction of the cost. In addition, your open source approach to patterns and techniques mean that other companies have access to your designs, which they can manufacture much more cheaply either using machines or using workers in 3rd world countries. Your primary value lies in your integrity, devotion to local sourcing and paying a fair wage to the local artisans you are committed to using for the production of your clothing line each year.

You have decided that a code of ethics is required in your company. What should it look like? To be workable, it should probably be clear, succinct and easy to understand. But how will you approach it? Will it be aspirational (containing statements of values aimed at or good things to do) or regulatory (statements of rules and prohibition, i.e. “You may not ______”)? How will you provide for feedback or enforcement? What good do you hope to accomplish with this code of ethics?

Draft a code of ethics that you think will work;

When I say “draft” – I mean that you should write this, after thinking through the ethical approaches we’re studying. Please do not consult the internet, other corporate ethical codes as examples, or any other how-to guides beyond the course materials. This exercise is meant to get you to think through how the ethical theories might actually apply in practice, as well as for you to experience the shortcomings of each approach.

The Big Five

Many contemporary psychologists specializing in the trait approach to personality agree there is a dimensional scheme that can be used to describe the complex construct of personality. This dimensional scheme consists of five traits which has been come to be known as the Big Five.

The Big Five traits include the following:

  • Extroversion is characterized as outgoing, gregarious, dominant, expressive, talkative, and social. In contrast, introverts tend to be more reserved, quiet, and submissive.
  • Agreeableness refers to people who are trusting, kind, cooperative, and prosocial. Individuals who are low in this trait tend to be more competitive, argumentative, and unkind.
  • Conscientiousness is a trait that can be described as thoughtful and dependable. Individuals who have high levels of this trait tend to have good impulsive control and are goal directed. Individuals who have low levels of this trait tend to be more careless and unreliable.
  • Neuroticism is also referred to as emotionally instability. Individual who have high levels of neuroticism tend to be moody, anxious, irritable, and downtrodden. Individuals who are low in this trait present as more emotionally stable and calm.
  • Openness is a trait also known as Openness to experience, culture or intellect. This trait relates to the characteristics of imagination and insight. People who have a high level of openness tend to be more explorative, imaginative, artistic, and clever. Those who have low levels of Openness are often described as shallow, traditional, and weary of change.

The Big Five traits have been researched significantly over the past years. Researchers such as McCrae & Terracciano (2005) conducted research on the Big Five traits in over 50 countries and found that they could be used to describe personality universally. Nave, Edmonds, Hampson, Murzyn, and Sauerberger (2016) also conducted a longitudinal study and found consistency in traits from childhood through midlife. Friedman and Schustack (2012) also point out that there is reason to believe that these traits have a biological origin.

In spite of these strengths, The Big Five has received its share of criticism. Friedman & Schustack (2012) point out that the traits are the product of individual’s descriptions, tests, and categorizations. This is described as a potential problem because the raters could be wrong in their evaluations for several reasons. The first reason is due to a bias called implicit personality theory. This is a type of bias where people identify consistencies from their impressions based on limited information. These consistencies however may not actually be occurring. This is similar to stereotypes where people believe that a trait is true for the group of people when in fact the judgement was based on limited or inaccurate information and/or experience.

If this type of bias occurred in developing the Big Five, then the factor analyses that was conducted only captured implicit theories of personality and not the actual dimensions. An additionally concern relates to the possibility that the raters may overlook traits that are actually present.

In spite of these challenges, personality is irrefutably a complicated and multi-dimensional construct that continues to evoke much discussion and debate. There does appear to be some promising developments relating to the strength of the Big Five traits however more research is needed.

Autism-Spectrum-Disorder-ASD-Table-psychology-homework-help

Imagine you are no longer a new teacher, but rather are now mentoring a new teacher. The teacher you are mentoring has come to you asking for advice because a parent of a child who was recently diagnosed with ASD has come to her asking for suggestions on how she can support her child at home. Respond to your peer with support for this parent by including the following tips: What recommendations can be provided to this parent with regards to helping the child academically as well as socially? What resources are available to support this parent? Lastly, how should the classroom teacher support this parent through communication?

According to IDEA Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) means a developmental disability significantly affecting verbal and nonverbal communication and social interaction, generally evident before age three, that adversely affects a child’s education performance (Autism Spectrum Disorders n.d.). ASD is a huge category taking on by IDEA, any help needed with a child education they will help with. Children may experience social problems for example like having problems sharing with others or communication skills may lack with others like the inability to socialize with others. Behavior problems like self-injuries to one self or unusual obsessions and compulsions. We first must keep in mind all children with these disorders experience different academic and behavior skills. Children with ASD characteristics may have problems with communication and reposing correctly so I can encourage acting out an answer or perhaps writing it out. Learn the students and this will come quite easily to me. They also may have a problem with change than I would provide schedules, maybe even picture symbols for them to feel at ease (Autism Spectrum Disorders n.d).
