Dear Student,
Hi and thank you for using Brainmass. The solution below should get you started. This particular problem has to essentially be answered in a form of a mini-essay. The question then is what ethical issues will you expound upon? There are so many, how do you begin? I think your answer, while concise should take note of the way the question has been asked. 3 things - morals, values, policies. I think we should get 3 issues that touch on this as it relates to practice and research. I suggest this structure:

1. Ethics in the field - why is ethics important in Psychology?
2. The issues, examples and discussion of ethical practice and principles.
3. General view - how will you address ethics in your practice?

Obviously, you can make this shorter or longer dependent upon how long you need the essay to be. The ideas below should be used side by side with concepts from your class materials as well as your own views on the matter. You can also use the listed resources to further explore the topic. All the best with your studies.

Sincerely,
