• How professional standards and other resources, in general terms, point toward solutions.
• How the issue in general relates to larger societal problems.
3) Create a heading titled Applied Ethical Principles and Standards: Use the APA Ethical Principles of Psychologists and Code of Conduct to assess which of the principles and standards relate to the particular ethical issue in this case, and analyze how they do so.
