Ethical issues and consent Ethics in research are quite important because they ensure that respect and fairness are applied all through research. One of the major ethical issues in research is informed consent. It involves informing the participants about the research so that they decide if they want to be involved in the research or not.

Ethical In the current years, there has been an increase in violence cases in most families. In the case study provided, Dave is a ten-year-old boy who undergoes various family problems that a normal kid of his age should not experience. His dad is a drunkard and a raged one for that matter. On the other hand, his mother does not care about what her minor son goes through; she instead comes up with excuses and even covers up for what Dave’s dad does.  She even allows Dave’s dad to pick a fight with his younger son, instead of intervening and making it clear to the father that Dave is still young and thus should not pick a fight with him.

However, ethnicity has contributed to ethnicity discrimination in workplaces, which has led to social evils and suffering in workplaces as people help and consider people they have shared attributes with and leaving other people suffering since they have no personal relationships. Cultural identity, therefore, contributes to discrimination and social disparities in employment, work allocation, treatment of workers, promotions, and salary levels, among others. It is a prevalent issue within the historical and contemporary society, which has made the rights activists gang up and fight against.
