  1. Ethic are an important aspect of the way we conduct research. Examples throughout history have shown that when investigators are not concerned with the ramifications to participants there is a very likely chance for abuse. The following section gives a scenario of a proposed research study. Read the scenario and then identify three specific ethical concerns that they researcher should take into account when they conduct the study.

Scenario: George plans to investigate a communication phenomenon dealing with partners in a romantic relationship. He want to study how partners decide the way they communicate feelings of being devalued in a relationship. He plans to study physically abusive, verbal abuse, verbal compromise, and verbal avoidance as the main reactions to feeling devalued by a partner. Participants will be recruited through an email survey sent out on social media and will ask participants to recall the last time they felt devalued by a partner and describe how they reacted. All data gathered will be anonymous to protect privacy and data will be used to create a better understanding of how conflict is resolved in romantic relationships.

Fighting for the Rights of Disabled Americans

Fighting discrimination often takes years of mass organization, protest, political lobbying, and legal challenges to win new laws and the power to enforce them. The 1973 Rehabilitation Act was considered an early victory for supporters of rights for the disabled. It included a provision stipulating that federally funded programs and facilities must be accessible to disabled individuals. The broader Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 expanded the protections first articulated in 1973. But the fight for equality often continues beyond the passage of laws recognizing the rights of those who are experiencing discrimination. No one knows this better than those who seek the end of discrimination against people with disabilities.

What steps are necessary to eliminate discrimination against those with disabilities?

What disabilities should be covered by ADA?

Is discrimination against those with disabilities comparable to discrimination against racial minorities and women?
