ETHICS

A set of moral principles or values;

principles of conduct governing an

individual or a group (as in ‘professional

ethics’), and a guiding philosophy.

(Merriam-Webster, 1993)

Ethical principles form moral choices as

persons act as moral agents.

Ethical standards are based on a

foundational value system designed to

tell us the difference between good and

bad behavior.

Another more basic way of putting it is that ethical

standards and principles tell us what we ought to do in

any given situation.

MORAL RELATIVISM

Absolutism vs. Relativism

Consider context when evaluating

“rightness” and “wrongness” of

behavior:

 Culture

 Generation (i.e., age)

 Personal value system

Consider effect of emotional desires

on ethical and moral behavior.

 What happens when there is a tug-of-war

between ethical standards and emotional desires

or feelings?

Competing values.

 What do we do when our values collide?

Ethical Standards of Human Service

Professionals includes all staff who work

in human service settings, including those

who are unlicensed.

Unlicensed/non-certified staff generally

include Bachelor level prepared staff who

work in social work or rehab positions,

case managers, and mental health

technicians.

However, all staff practices are

important.

Ethical codes are not legal documents

but they are a component of the expected

standard of care.

They are often used to assisting legal

decisions related to human service worker

behavior.

They help guide treatment decision

making and protect against future harm

or difficulty.
