130). The notion of unlawful employment practices encircles those activities which cause an adverse effect on members of a protected class. Certain practices, widely known as ‘disparate treatment’, imply treatment of some employees or candidates in a different way, such as requiring women to pass a driving test prior to applying for a job, but nor requiring men to pass the test when they apply for the same job. It is extremely important to note that practices which make a disparate impact on members of protected classes may be viewed as fair in the eyes of employers, but entail detrimental influence on members of protected classes.
Fraternities and sororities have been around for over a century and have essentially become an integral part of the collegiate experience. However, negative stereotypes and poor conduct of individual chapters hinder Greek-letter organization’s ability to successfully grow and develop in the present time.

When reading the IAMFC Code of Ethics and AAMFT Code of Ethics I found that they compare significantly, much more than they contrast. Many of the principals coincide. For example, the topic of multiple relationships is one of the many principles that parallel in many codes of ethics. The IAMFC Code of Ethics encourages family counselors to “avoid whenever possible multiple relationships, such as business, social, or sexual contacts with any current clients or family members” (Section A). Similarly, the AAMFT Code of Ethics also requires that therapists “make every effort to avoid conditions and multiple relationships with clients that could impair professional judgment or increase the risk of exploitation.
Early childhood professionals (ECP) must learn, understand, and acknowledge why and how observation and recording is essential in an early childhood setting (ECS). Pedagogy- means the way we teach; to teach we must understand how. ECP must take into consideration the way the environment is stimulating to the children's growth, the situation being assessed at the time, and understanding how children communicate through play so the observation can be accurate. Play-based learning is an utmost important asset to help children understand the world around them (Ditez & Kashin, 2016). In a play-based environment, we can identify the interests of children, and see how they collaborate with other children in certain situations.
Is it enough to know and follow the AAMFT Code of Ethics? Although knowing and following the AAMFT Code of Ethics is an important aspect while practicing therapy with clients, it is not enough and only provides a standard and boundaries of ethics for therapists to follow. Ethics within marriage and family therapy are not black in white, and in some areas building on what you know and how you have used ethics in the past, along with help from superiors and peers can help when an issue arises that you need to refer to the AAMFT Code of Ethics. So no, it is not enough to know and follow the AAMFT Code of Ethics, but by practicing, learning, and using what you know you can have a better understanding on the ethics within Family and Marriage Therapy.
The AHIMA Code of Ethics is to be used by AHIMA people and certificants, buyers, workplaces, affiliations, and bodies that grasp it or use it as a structure of reference. The AHIMA Code of Ethics reflects the devotion of all to keep up the calling's regards and to act ethically. Regardless, the code does not give a course of action of principles that suggest the best possible conduct in all conditions. Specific uses of the code must consider the setting in which it is being considered and the probability of conflicts among the code's regards, models, and principles. Moral commitments spill out of each human relationship, from the individual and familial to the social and master.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964 prevents people from certain classes being discriminated against. The protected classes under the federal antidiscrimination statutes include: race, color, national origin, sex, religion, age-40 and older, citizenship, Military service, pregnancy, and physical or mental disability (Walsh, 2012). It is important for employers to understand what discrimination against these groups entails. Employers who do not understand discrimination against a protected class may find themselves making good faith mistakes regarding an employee’s conduct (Lidge, 2011). If a case goes to court, the employers will bear the responsibility to show proof of their actions were not discriminatory actions.
One ethical dilemma that I am concerned about is having dual and multiple relationships with my clients. I live in a very rural community where there are not many social work agencies. In my town, there is one school system, few grocery stores and churches, one gym to workout at, and very few restaurants to choose from. If you live in this area, you typically know most of, the people here. Everyone knows each other, and if you don’t know someone, then somebody knows something about you.
The organization has to obey all the legal guidelines. This includes treating everyone the same as everyone is equal. The justice view of ethics is typically linked with discrimination, racism and sexism.
Introduction Employment discrimination has become one of the most prominent areas of modern litigation. Businesses are sued more often by their employees than by any other category of litigant -- more than by competitors, customers or regulators. The great majority of those lawsuits by employees involve the allegation of employment discrimination. The threat of employment discrimination lawsuits has changed the nature of the employment relationship and caused employers to implement safeguards, procedures and technicalities they would have never considered fifty years ago. Further, discrimination has entered the popular consciousness as a legal concept much more successfully than many older legal concepts or categories.
