This page contains a ‘challenge of the month on which to test out your ethical navigation. There is no one solution to this situation. As you think about it, be aware of what you are taking into account as you decide what you would do? Why are you taking these things into account? What other perspectives are there?

Challenge of the month

You receive an email-shot from a member of your profession, highlighting their services. You don't know them personally, however you think the material carries an implicit prejudice towards a particular group. You re-read it, wondering if you are mistaken.
Do you take any action? If so, what?

Do you unsubscribe? Do you seek others' views. Do you introduce yourself to the practitioner and explain your view? Do you contact any official body? If so, which one?

Is your answer different if you are yourself a member of the group in question?

Is your answer different if you know the individual to have a high profile? Or is it different if you know them?

Think through what options you might take and the conversations that would ensue.
Thanks to Julie Allan for this example

Note: You can discuss this with peers by putting across your own ideas and hearing others ideas at the interactive ethics forums. If you have not used the interactive forums before you will be required to create a profile, which takes just a few minutes.
