Ethical considerations For this research project I ensured that I followed the ethical guidelines of the University of Hertfordshire whilst planning for and carrying out my small scale survey (see appendix for ethics approval sheet) Due to the sensitive nature of this research topic a number of ethical considerations had to be recognised and discussed. First and foremost, it is important to note that I chose not to distribute my questionnaire to children or any young person under the age of 18,…

when delivering therapy online. Attridge (2000) highlights some standards that therapists engaging in online counselling should seek to employ. Firstly, there should be assurance of the confidentiality of the client, with awareness that complete anonymity is not possible, both for the safety of the client and the rest of the group.

audience a glimpse into the lives of the people portrayed. Smith does a dramatic interpretation of the different people she has interviewed. By acting out the interviews rather than quoting them in a article or taking a video and risk compromising anonymity, she is able to connect with the audience better. Smith also uses a technique that implements video alongside spoken performance to get her point across. In this case, it is very successful because the snippets of video used build on the…

and who are seen as role models. These are the types of people whom we often see as criminals out of nowhere in the news. I fully agree with his study it makes sense of what I have encountered and seen in the news.

Throughout the introduction, I mentioned some key concepts that need to be defined. Institutional racism can be seen or detected in processes, attitudes and behaviour which result in discrimination through unwitting prejudice, ignorance, thoughtlessness, and racist stereotyping which disadvantage ethnic minorities, (MacPherson, 1999), therefore institutional racism occurs where institutions discriminate and fail to provide professional service to a person due to them being an ethic minority.…
