Section B

It is important to consider ethical issues from the early stages of a research project. From the beginning

of the design process, provisional decisions are usually taken about the nature of the research sample

and the methodology. Based on the research proposal for your final year project, determine

whether your proposed study is ethically defensible by:

Identifying the related ethical issues $($personal$,$ professional, and corporate$)$ around your

research project. Stipulate the ethical issues and discuss in detail why each is an ethical

concern.

Illustrate your approaches to all situations with consideration of equitable issues $($ethnicity$,$

gender, age, sexual orientation, faith, geography, socio$-$economic status, etc.$),$ involved,

and acts$/$behaves with inclusivity.

Discuss how you will mitigate each ethical concern in your research as a form of accountability.
