Order Form

Let’s start our first discussion.
You must post your answer to the question(s), as well as engage in further discussion with minimum one classmate to receive full credit. The initial post is due by the end of Wednesday of each week to ensure that students have sufficient time to read and engage in discussions. The replies are due by midnight on Sunday. For example: if you have made 2 posts but the first one didn’t happen before Wednesday you will receive only a ½ point for this discussion.
Unless your opinion is specifically requested, discussion board comments should be supported by reference of scholarly professional journals.
*IMPORTANT: Grades for the discussion forums are based on participation and engaging other students in a dialogue (discussion). Although comments such as “That’s great!”, “I agree”, “Great ideas” are important, in a general conversation these comments are not considered in grading active participation, critique or dialogue. These statements are regarded as fillers. Please review your own comments in the forums for quality and substance.
I will use the Rubric to grade discussions so please make sure to honor multiple perspectives; ask deep questions; make thoughtful connections and correctly cite resources to support all ideas.

Questions for Discussion:
Discuss, describe, compare and contrast ethical and cultural relativism with ethical absolutism. Please be sure to provide examples.
Ethical Dilemma Scenario:
Define what constitutes an ethical dilemma. Using the steps outlined in the chapter, how would you respond to the following scenario?
A probation officer is in the common area of the office. As she approaches the office secretary to ask about a court date, she sees case files open and being edited on the secretary’s computer. She saw on the news that morning that the probationer was arrested for a violent offense. She knows that it is against office policy for anyone other than the probation officer to edit case files. She also knows that it won’t be long before people start asking questions about the quality of probation supervision that allowed the probationer to commit such a heinous offense.
