1、Essay写作伦理框架在社会工作案例研究中的应用分析Applying ethical theoretical frameworks to the practice scenario of GiftyEthics have been widely considered to have a central role in social work,from both a personal and a professional perspective(Beckett and Maynard,2013;Rutter and Brown,2015).Ethics can be defined as the
2、 implicit agreement that individuals in society make with each other,which lays out expectations on how members of that society interact with each other on a daily basis(Kymlicka,2003).However,the way that individuals understand and interpret this implicit ethical agreement tends to differ based on
3、cultural,religious,social circumstances and experiences(Spano and Koenig,2007).Therefore,ethical dilemmas come up often in social work, based in particular on the fact that social workers are often working with difference and diversity(Rossiter,2011).In this way,ethical dilemmas in social work can b

11、y basis,something her family believe she does not have the capacity to do.The first theoretical model to be considered is deontology.This model has its root in the writings of Emmanuel Kant,and the approach is based on a belief that there is a moral righteousness related to actions themselves, rathe

Essentially, this means that actions are to be considered ethical if they are based on rational and universally true principles(Icheku,2011).This is important to social work,because social work is based on the inherent belief in specific values,a
