Problem
The Belmont Report discusses the basic ethical principles and guidelines regarding research. Basic ethical principles means certain judgments that act as a basic justification for the many evaluations of human actions (U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, n.d.). Three basic ethical principles include, respect for persons, beneficence, and justice. Individuals should be treated with respect, especially if you do not know them personally. In order to respect individuals, it is important to give weight to others opinions and choices while refraining from interfering with their actions. When conducting research that involves human subjects, it is important to allow them to voluntarily be apart of the research with little information. Researchers can make the mistake of being disrespectful by not respecting the individuals beliefs and values. This can disrupt the research process overall.
