COURSE DESCRIPTION
This course is designed to familiarize the student with their personal values and the intersection of
their values with the values of their client population and the NASW Code of Ethics. Students
will become familiar with the meaning and concepts as well as the process of thinking about and
confronting ethical issues and dilemmas. The primary goals of this course are to promote personal
awareness of ethical questions and knowledge of their historical contexts.
The course provides students with the opportunity and ability to critically interpret and evaluate
philosophical texts, positions, and arguments. In particular, students will examine a variety of
ethical issues by focusing on forms or ideals of life and models for relating to others.
This course may appear to be redundant to the extent that every course in the School has some
ethics content in it; however, this course goes beyond the descriptive analysis. It puts the student
in touch with his or her personal values and ethics which provides an understanding of the
underpinnings of their belief system which serves as the impetus for all decision making
particularly when it comes to making decisions which conflict with their your belief system.
