Ethics Paper

Description

This paper requires the student to justify their actions when faced with an ethical dilemma.  Choose one of the following ethical dilemmas and reflect upon what you would do if you were the researcher. 1.     You are interviewing college women who are anorexic, but whose anorexia is no longer active, about their schooling experiences. You have arranged to interview each of your participants at least five times over two consecutive semesters. During the third interview with one participant, just after the winter holidays, you begin to suspect that her anorexia is active again because of her obvious weight loss and a few of her comments. When you ask her how her health is, she replies that she is feeling great. What do you do? Write on the potential ethical issues that might arise during the study you choose.  What can you do to minimize their potential?  What would you do if faced with your ethical concerns?
