Hello, and good afternoon everyone, for this week's discussion post I chose the Trust and Cooperation which also goes hand in hand with the Dignity and Person hood issues from the lecture.
The reason that I chose this specific issue is because when someone in your care makes the choice to agree with your decision, this choice leads to mutual trust and willing cooperation. While trust and cooperation are important for achieving a good professional relationship, trust and cooperation also help protect consent. Making good, ethical decisions leads to trust from those in your charge as well as your peers. Focusing on the other and striving to be emotionally intelligent in your decisions will greatly help build this sphere of cooperation in your professional and, ultimately, your personal life.
Sora is an 5 year-old child who has recently been put into the foster system (in the best interest of the child) he was taken away and placed after his mother and her partner were found to be negligent to his cares. Soras' family members were all very confused as to why Sora was taken out of the home, insisting that Sora was removed for no reason at all, and that they had done nothing wrong. The county officials were having issues gaining Soras mothers, and extended families trust.
The foster parents had immediately begun showing Sora a different way of life, such as eating healthy, wearing clean clothes, starting him on a routine, and giving him a life that a little boy should be having, and Violating the Child's Identity, by basically undermining the relationship that Sora had with his mother. In the meantime, Social Services was attempting to make a plan for Sora to reunite with his mother. Soras mother, on the otherhand was undermining the CPS agent by denying all access to the residence for follow up visits which were to reunite the child with her.
In evaluating the decisions made in the case study using the ethical framework to support my evaluation including what I would have decided in the situation from the case study. Cooperation comes from a place of respect. Respect can generate compliance for those in your care. If the client respects you, they are more likely to comply with the treatment and listen to the recommendations you are presenting. Rather than Violating the Child's Identity by undermining the relationship between Sora and his mother, the foster parents could have asked the opinion of Sora's mother first so that Sora's mother did not feel as if Sora's care was out of her control. By making Sora's mother more involved, she may have been more willing to cooperate with the process of getting her son back in her care. Need Assignment Help?
