Discuss what you would do in this situation. Would you talk to your boss?

Please review the readings this week as they relate to some theories as to why management is not a profession. Much of this is tied to the issue of ethics in business and the idea that those in non-professional designated positions have more opportunity or more leeway to be less ethical. One of the most common ethical situations that often arises is the issue of employees taking credit for each other’s work. Consider a situation where you completed a major project for your boss that is intended to benefit the entire company. Your boss, however, presents your work to the executive committee as their own and takes all the credit for the project.Discuss what you would do in this situation. Would you talk to your boss? What would you say? Would you talk to anyone else? Would you consider quitting your job? Why or why not?

Analyze what you learned from the Voices of Diversity video regarding perspectives and experiences related to race and ethnicity.

6051 Discussion 1 – Week 3 NwDiscussion 1: Voices of Diversity: Race and EthnicityHow do you even begin to talk about race and ethnicity? And, specifically in a social work context, how do you broach these topics with clients, families, and communities? In 1994, eight American men of various backgrounds (African, Asian, European, and Latino descent) sat down together in a room to talk about race. What followed was a raw, emotional, and difficult conversation that peeled back the layers of racism’s impact. Although the Color of Fear film is decades old now, the need to talk about race remains.For this Discussion, you view one such conversation among faculty and then analyze what you observed, considering the various perspectives and how they may inform social work practice.To Prepare:· View the Voices of Diversity: Race and Ethnicity video showing Social Work faculty sharing perspectives and experiences related to race and ethnicity.· Reflect on the video, identifying ideas, experiences, or statements that resonate with you, as well as strategies that were described.Analyze what you learned from the Voices of Diversity video regarding perspectives and experiences related to race and ethnicity. Specifically:· What idea, experience, or statement resonated with you the most, and why?· What is one strategy described in the video that you will apply toward your self-awareness and/or cultural competence? How might this strategy help when working with a client who is racially or ethnically different from you?Follow rubricInitial Posting: Content14.85 (49.5%) – 16.5 (55%) Initial posting thoroughly responds to all parts of the Discussion prompt.
