  Case: What I Want To Do With My Life
In your English class your students are assigned a project, which needs prior approval, of giving a speech on the topic of ‘What I Want To Do With My Life'. One student, who is Catholic, wants to become a priest. His speech tells about his church, their fundamental beliefs, and his reasons for entering the priesthood. You allow the speech. Were any code of ethics principles violated?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
I do not think that any code of ethics principles were violated by this since it is not the teacher who is presenting their opinion to the classroom. The student has every right to share their beliefs in their project. It is even more important in this project since the topic has personal value to the student. Telling him that he could not write about wanting to be a priest could make him feel that his choice of career is less valuable than that of his peers.
