One important ethical consideration that exists with Project 3 is plagiarism. When conducting research and writing a report about findings, I know it is important to include a bibliography page and in-text citations. I will be sure to do this, and also to review my paragraphs and make sure if I am directly quoting that I use quotation marks. If I am paraphrasing, I will make sure to include in-text citations. Groupthink is also an ethical consideration to be aware of in Project 3. We are working on a team project and want to be sure that we are working together and not participating in groupthink. Because I am aware of groupthink, I think it helps me make sure I am making ethical decisions.
In the future, I need to be aware of ethical considerations. Just because the majority may be going along with an idea, I will not go along with a decision if I do not feel comfortable with it. I will also be sure to monitor ethical considerations such as falsifying or fabricating data, and using visual images that conceal the truth. In my Public Health profession, we often conduct research and review data. My organization puts a great emphasis on portraying data in an ethical manner and not editing data to make a graph look better. Plagiarism is also a concern. In my profession, we often have meetings where we brainstorm new health promotion messaging and programming. It is important to refer to research when presenting a new idea both in communication and on paper. When writing formal reports we always include bibliographies and in-text citations to give the authors credit.
