Week 15

Week 15: This week involves writing my ethics management plan. Ethical issues include informed and voluntary consent, respect for rights and confidentiality and preservation of anonymity, minimisation of harm, cultural and social sensitivity, limitation of deception, respect for intellectual and cultural property ownership, avoidance of conflict of interest, and research design adequacy

Ethical Issues	Management plan
Informed and voluntary consent	It is critical to appropriately give informed and voluntary consent before conducting any interview. Therefore, I must first ask for informed consent through a written paper or verbally to legally interview an individual or group. Furthermore, if I do a data collection interview, I can ask their permission after their participation
Respect for rights and confidentiality and preservation of anonymity	It is essential to use caution to prevent confidentiality violations when data is disclosed to third parties. This protects volunteers from psychological, social, and legal harm and is especially necessary while researching delicate subjects. Gathering anonymous data, or using it if it has already been obtained, is the most straightforward approach to maintaining interviewee anonymity. Anonymous data are not linked to any information that could be used to identify a specific person.
Minimisation of harm	To minimise or reduce harm to the participants, I will make every effort to minimise any possible harm to the people, families, and organisations that took part in the study by closely following health and safety regulations to ensure their well-being, respecting their right to privacy, and avoiding any unfavourable portrayal or representation that might damage their reputation or image.
Cultural and social sensitivity	I will explicitly gather data from the relevant demographic to perform cultural and social sensitivity, ensuring their viewpoints and experiences are represented equally. In addition, I will respect personal space and refrain from inquiring about unrelated or intrusive demographics while concentrating on the pertinent group or subject.
Limitation of deception	I will stick to the following principles to prevent or limit deception in the interview. Firstly, whenever possible and suitable, I will notify participants about their participation in the investigation. Secondly, when the quality and integrity of the material must be maintained, I will notify them of their involvement in the research and provide relevant data following their observation or contribution.
Respect for intellectual and cultural property ownership	It is ethical to respect intellectual and cultural property ownership; I will do this by properly crediting the original contributors of intellectual and cultural works and ensuring proper reference and citation to acknowledge my sources accurately.
Avoidance of conflict of interest	One of the ethical issues is the avoidance of conflict of interest. To do this correctly, I pledge to protect the privacy of any sensitive information and avoid giving it to or sharing it with other participants who might have a conflict of interest.
Research design adequacy	Another ethical issue is creating an adequate research design. To do this, I will do the following to ensure my research design is adequate. I will accurately define the study objectives so my design aligns with the anticipated outcomes. Before conducting a full literature review, I will ensure the examined literature and existing studies are relevant to the research issue. I will choose representative samples using the right targeted candidates and an appropriate sampling procedure. I will make sure to analyse data correctly by using an appropriate analysis strategy. Consider ethical issues by ensuring the research design abides by ethical norms and principles. Additionally, protect candidates' rights and well-being to avert any potential injury.
