The purpose of this assignment is for you to learn how to apply both the ACA Code of Ethics and your state board code of ethics to common ethical scenarios.

Your paper must be in current APA format. The body of your paper must be 1-2 pages, the abstract must be 150-250 words, and your paper must include at least 2 references. Citations for both ACA and the state code of ethics must be included as the 2 required references.

Note that the title page, abstract, and reference page do not count toward the required page length. Your paper must be well-thought-out and demonstrate critical thinking. Also, all references must be from professional sources (professional journals and professional texts; no informal websites).

Submit your paper via the SafeAssign draft link in Module/Week 5.Wait until the link indicates that SafeAssign has analyzed your paper and prepared a report. Once the report has generated, go back to the report and evaluate it. You will notice that SafeAssign often matches on headings, titles, and references. If you see matches on entire sentences or paragraphs that are not enclosed in quotation marks, then you have unintentionally plagiarized. You will need to go back and re-write those sections in your own words.
