An overview of the issues of LBQTI+ in education (100words)
According to George L. Wimberly, (2015) in an increasingly diverse society, educators and policy
makers face the challenge of fostering educational environments that are inclusive and
welcoming to all students and teachers. Schools and teachers must consider whether the
educational context facilitates learning for all youth, including those who are lesbian, gay,
bisexual, transgendered, queer (LGBTQ), or questioning their sexual identity, as well as children
of sexual-minority parents. In a pluralistic society, school administrators must also consider
whether teachers, aides, or other staff who themselves may identify as LGBTQ are hindered in
the workplace because of discriminatory policies, practices, or comments.
Ethics in research (300words)
Ethical issues are present in any kind of research. The research process creates tension between
the aims of research to make generalizations for the good of others, and the rights of participants
to maintain privacy. Ethics pertains to doing well and avoiding harm. Harm can be prevented or
reduced through the application of appropriate ethical principles. Thus, the protection of human
subjects or participants in any research study is imperative. Violations of human rights in the name
of scientific research have been among the darkest events in history.
Since research often involves a great deal of cooperation and coordination among many different
people in different disciplines and institutions, ethical standards promote the values that are
essential to collaborative work, such as trust, accountability, mutual respect, and fairness. For
example, many ethical norms in research, such as guidelines for authorship, copyright
and patenting policies, data sharing policies, and confidentiality rules in peer review, are
designed to protect intellectual property interests while encouraging collaboration. Most
researchers want to receive credit for their contributions and do not want to have their ideas
stolen or disclosed prematurely.
Many of the norms of research promote a variety of other important moral and social values,
such as social responsibility, human rights, animal welfare, compliance with the law, and public
health and safety. Ethical lapses in research can significantly harm human and animal subjects,
students, and the public. For example, a researcher who fabricates data in a clinical trial may
harm or even kill patients, and a researcher who fails to abide by regulations and guidelines
