Each student will write an analysis of an assigned case. The analysis, which must be five to seven pages in length, will use the case analysis method presented in class. This requirement will be discussed in class and posted on Blackboard.

The case analysis topic will be announced early in the class. There will be a more detailed template available.

• Case Analysis Outline

Answer each of the following questions as you prepare a written case analysis. The written case should be in essay format, MLA style, and should address each of the following questions. Suggested lengths are provided for some of the sections to give you an idea how to allocate your analysis.

1. What is/are the ethical issue(s) in the case?

• Identify the issue(s) in a couple of sentences. This is short and concise.

• Briefly, in your own words and in a couple of sentences, why is it an issue?

• What ethical models are relevant to the issue? For ethical models, consider those discussed in class, for example, utilitarianism, deontology, and Rawlsian fairness.

• (Question 1 is the first paragraph of your case analysis. It sets the stage for your analysis. (This section of the paper should be one half to one page.)

2. What are the pertinent facts of the case?

• Distinguish between more important and less important facts.

• Include as a fact if a code of ethics is available to guide the actors in the case. (Company code of ethics? Industry code? Professional code?) Also include as a fact if specific laws or regulatory standards ons are involved in the case.

• These facts must be the foundation for your alternatives and recommendations.

• (This section of the paper should be one half to one page.

3. Stakeholders, harms, benefits, and rights

• Who are the important stakeholders in the case?

• So far in the case, who has been harmed? In what ways? Who has received benefits? What specific benefits were received?

• So far in the case, whose rights or what rights have been exercised? How? Whose rights or what rights have been denied?

Ø Frame the harms, benefits, and rights in terms of where things stand in the case right now. Later, in alternatives (Question 6), you’ll discuss possible future effects on stakeholders.

Ø Primary and secondary stakeholders are discussed in the first chapters in the text.

Ø (This section of the paper should be one half to one page.)

4. What are the alternative courses of action to remedy the problem that you have identified? Who must act in each alternative?

• Provide three distinct alternatives for the most important ethical issue you identify in Question 1.

• The three alternatives should address a range of actions about that one issue only.

• (This section should not exceed one page. Do not analyze the alternatives here! )

5. Thoroughly evaluate the alternatives, their outcomes, and their possible effects on all of the parties involved.

• For each alternative: what is the effect on each important stakeholder if this course of action is followed?

• Are there any effects on stakeholders whom you do not consider “important”?

• Do these alternatives satisfy the ethical model you consider most relevant?

• (This can be a lengthy analysis as there are many stakeholders in society. It is a major part of your paper and requires you to consider all of the possibilities and their effects of the stakeholders. It should be approximately three to four pages.)

6. Make a specific recommendation based on your analysis of the case, on the important facts that you’ve identified in Question 2, and support it with an ethical model.

A) Be sure that you state how your recommendation is tied to your analysis and facts and how it is supported by ethical models.

B) Name any specific professional code(s) of ethics that might be applicable to the entities in this case and state how the code(s) would support your recommendation. Conduct research to find current day codes of ethics that are applicable. Be sure that this is a professional code, not an industry code or regulatory standard.

• Your recommendation should be one of three alternatives that you have proposed. Use supporting data (e.g., important facts of case, analysis of alternative, support offered by specific code(s) of professional ethics, key concepts studied in the course) to argue why you recommendation is the best alternative.

• Merely stating your opinion without supporting data (e.g., important facts of case, analysis of alternative, support offered by specific code(s) of professional ethics, key concepts studied in the course, and ethical models) is not a recommendation.

• Does your recommendation provide a reasoned solution to the issue(s) you identified in Question 1?

• (This part of your paper should be approximately one page.)

• The individual case analysis should be 6 to 8 pages in length with one more page added

Introduction by Dr. Campbell: Our category of educational institutions will be covered this week and a bit next week when we have a former university counseling center counselor who now has a private practice. This week, you will hear from counselor, Stacy Frazier, who works at the coolest school ever. Village Leadership Academy is an independent private school from Pre-K through 6th grade with a social justice, global focus. Ms. Frazier was successful in creating a job as counselor at VLA. Her children attended VLA, and she sensed a need for counseling services at this new school. Many counselors have created their own positions through networking, discovering need, and communicating how they can fill the need. At a small school, Ms. Frazier is the counselor, the grant writer, and one of the directors and writers of the school play. She is willing to pitch in to do what is needed, which makes her extremely valuable to VLA.

Notice I called Ms. Frazier a counselor, but not a school counselor. Ms. Frazier is licensed as a professional counselor and is near the end of her doctoral program. She is able to work at VLA with an LCPC because VLA is a private school. Public school districts sometimes hire a variety of professionals, but the most common is a school counselor who have different training backgrounds and credentials. I hope I can clear up the differences between a few of the (similar) job titles of mental health professionals who work in educational settings as well as the different educational settings themselves.

What is interesting about all of these settings is that they deal with crisis intervention on a fairly regular basis. The therapeutic day school is most likely to continue providing care after a crisis, but a regular school and college/university deals with suicide behavior frequently. Also, the prime age for a psychotic or manic break is late teens, early 20’s, so the counselors working with this age group deal with severe psychopathology when it first arrives and helps the person find continuing care. You will likely notice an edit in the therapeutic day school video. This is because a student was in crisis and the interviewee had to go out and help staff de-escalate the situation. All was well after 15 minutes or so, but it reiterated the frequency of crisis work in these settings.

By successfully completing this assignment, you will demonstrate your proficiency in the following course competencies:

• Competency 1: Explain the nature of ethical issues.
  • Apply a professional code of ethics to workplace situations.
• Competency 2: Critically examine the contributions of key thinkers from the history of ethics.
  • Assess the advantages and disadvantages of a professional code of ethics.
• Competency 3: Engage in ethical debate.
  • Explain methods for discussing ethical disagreements productively.
• Competency 5: Communicate effectively in the context of personal and professional moral discourse.
  • Communicate in a manner that is scholarly, professional, and consistent with expectations for members of professional communities.

In this final project for the course, you will draw on work you have already done in Unit 2, “Project–Workplace Issues,” and Unit 6, “Project–Professional Code Draft 1” to assemble a reflective essay on the use of the professional code of ethics in your workplace. Review the code of ethics you studied in Unit 6 and apply it to the workplace situations you described in Unit 2.

Now you need to think critically about your professional code of ethics:

• Are there significant respects in which it misses the boat or over-emphasizes irrelevant points?
• Does it need to be revised in order to serve you and your clients more effectively?
• Where might you have difficulty following the stated standards?

In particular, does the professional code of ethics adequately deal with the examples you chose in Unit 2? Where might reasonable professionals disagree, and how should these disagreements be resolved productively in the context of a real workplace.

This will be your final word on the subject, so please be sure to express your own positions clearly and to defend them with sound ethical reasoning.

Case Project 8-1: Inline VS. Passive IDPSs.

You work for a network solutions provider. Your goal is to become a network engineer and design enterprise networks. You began with the company as a technical support analyst who helped clients troubleshoot hardware and software. Because of your strong communication skills, your boss has been sending you on sales calls, but you feel that this task is moving you away from your goal of network engineering. As a compromise, you and your boss have agreed on a plan in which you will make a series of video training programs to explain complicated networking topics to clients.

Your first video will explain the difference between inline and passive IDPS devices. In preparation for video production, you must submit an outline of your presentation along with explainatary diagrams. PREPARE A ONE-TO TWO PAGE outline that DEFINES INLINE AND PASSIVE IDPSs, the hardware required, the advantages and disadvantages of each, and typical situations, and typical situations in which one is preferred over the other. Include at least two diagrams.
