Abstract
The paper looks at how several college campuses across the country have tried to address the issue of hate speech by passing regulations to control such speech, though this approach raises troubling questions about the limits of free speech and the degree to which any form of speech can be regulated. The paper discusses how the issue extends beyond speech today as haters have undertaken a new tactic by placing nooses on college campuses and in other locations as a silent threat to African-Americans. The paper discusses how hate speech codes were a response to a perceived problem but may have over-reacted by the way they were phrased.

Abstract
This paper, written in the form of a speech to the school body, examines the advantages and disadvantages of dress codes in schools. It cites a case study of a boy who wore his pajamas to school and uses this as a catalyst in support of the writers argument to get rid of dress codes.

From the Paper
"Good morning/afternoon, teachers and fellow students. I'm sure we all started today very similar to each other: we crawled out of bed after throwing our alarm clock at the wall " puzzled as to why it still works after about a million confrontations with that wall " we get dressed, grab a bite for breakfast "or not" and try not to miss our bus or the regular car pool. Am I right? Well, one person broke that routine one morning. His name is Daniel Lade and he's in tenth grade at Middleton High School. One morning he fronted up to school in wearing a full set of pajamas! And they weren't the flannel variety either which can pass for street wear. No, my friends, Daniel wore a full set of navy blue pajamas covered in tiny stars. 2 days later, some of his fellow students wore their pajamas to school. The principal of the school reprimanded Daniel for wearing his pajamas to school but let the other students go because they were wearing the flannel variety and the principal saw nothing wrong with it. (Landry, 2001, 1) Do you believe that Daniel deserved the "dressing down" as it were or do you think it was unfair of the principal to intervene? I'll come back to my question a little later in this presentation. Just hold that thought."

Abstract
The current study compares and contrast codes of ethics for the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) with respect to competence, confidentiality, and fees. Findings of the current study reveal that ACA and AACC guidelines call for boundaries of competence in terms of education, training, credentialing, and experience. The AACC, however, emphasizes the use of Christian counselors as referrals. Both associations ensure confidentiality with respect to limitations on sharing personal information. The AACC places emphasis on not using client information for preaching and related activities. Lastly, both associations stress that fees should be fair and commensurate to the client's ability to pay. The AACC, however, emphasizes the importance of counselors providing pro bono work.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the ethics codes of the American Counseling Association (ACA) and the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC).

From the Paper
"A code of ethics for any organization is a vital guiding document that if followed conscientiously, reveals the ethical framework and convictions of the organization that has produced it. In the case of the codes of ethics of the American Counseling Association or ACA, and the American Association of Christian Counselors or AACC, there are both similarities and differences that bear discussion. Both codes address competence, colleague relationships and sexual relationships with counselees, for example, and each has a different slant and emphasis on those three issues..."

Abstract
In this article, the writer notes that curtailments on free speech are usually associated with the political right, but a recent trend toward the creation of speech codes on university campuses suggests that demands for such codes come from the political left. The writer discusses that the idea for such codes is that certain types of speech has an intimidating effect and damages the educational mission of the university. Such codes may be general or may contain specific terms or types of speech that are to be prohibited, with sanctions for their use. The writer points out that critics see this as just a form of censorship that does not belong in a university, where freedom of expression should be supported and promoted. Others insist that such codes are needed to protect the most vulnerable from verbal intimidation, though it is not always possible to demonstrate any damage from speech alone. The writer concludes that the arguments for these codes are largely based on a belief that some persons who are not part of the mainstream majority need special protection as they try to enter the mainstream through education, and opposition stems from the view that free speech should really be free, that demonstrating a real harm is not possible, and the speech codes go against the real purpose of the university.

From the Paper
"The ACLU has taken the stand that speech codes are wrong, and the organization has fought successfully against such codes at many universities. Most such battles have been at public universities, where the fight is easier because those universities are government entities and so prevented from engaging in censorship. The fight is now moving to private universities, where the burden is greater. This is noted by some engaged in a lawsuit against Stanford University in California, which, because it is a private institution ... "

Abstract
The various ethics codes of organization display a remarkable amount of diversity in definition and expectations. Many similarities and differences can be noted in the areas of discrimination, fees, sexual intimacies, and teaching and training. This paper compares and analyzes these ethics codes, focusing on the ethics codes of the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC), the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), and the American Counseling Association (ACA). The differences exist primarily due to the different world view and primary goals of the writers of the individual codes.

From the Paper
"Sexual intimacies and misconduct as they relate to counselor relationships are other areas that seem to be universally addressed in ethics codes. This is probably the area in which the codes most closely correspond to each other. Each makes the point abundantly clear that all sexual intimacies with current or former clients are unethical. Each code seems to view referral as the preferred method of dealing with former sexual or marriage partners. The ACA lists a moratorium for having sexual contact with a former client as two years (ACA, 1995), while the AACC says that counseling a former sexual partner is never ethical (AACC, 1998). They all agree, however, that these types of sexual intimacies are an exploitation of the power imbalance that exists between a counselor and a client. Both of the faith based organizations, the AAPC and the AACC, go as far as to define intimacies as including any form of overt or covert sexual harassment, as well. "

Abstract
This paper discusses the major values and ethics of social work . It examines how basic helping and counselling skills are guided by the ethical codes and then discusses the benefits that can be attained for the service user when they are used effectively. Furthermore, the paper outlines what can occur when such codes are not adhered to in the way they should be.

From the Paper
"Moreover, unless such theoretical assumptions are placed at the centre of social work endeavour, it is difficult to envisage how the relationship between the social worker, individual service user and wider community can be successfully forged and maintained. Above all, what these values and ethics show is that the practice of social work is extremely varied and must include a wide and differing collection of factors. This is indeed the case with relationship forging but it could also include less obvious and more complex factors like the ecological social work approach (Watson and West, 2006). Here is it necessary for true harmony to be found between human beings and the wider ecological environment. Doing so is a protracted process, but there is also an inherent danger that social work values and ethics are lost when using such wide ranging criterion for the purposes of social understanding."

Abstract
The paper analyzes how the respective codes of ethics of the professional counseling organizations; the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), and the American Association of Pastoral Counselors' (AAPC) reflect the differences in the approaches of these organizations to mental health and healing. The paper examines how codes of ethics usually share common core elements outlining the legal and ethical obligations of counseling professionals. The paper further examines how the ethical codes of these three groups differs on some key issues such as counseling methodology and techniques, and the professional's relationship to society.

From the Paper
"Explicit no-harm clauses are included in each ethical code. Fees are discussed overtly, too, with the AAPC and the AACC more explicit in their encouragement of pro bono work. The AACC also encourages sliding-scale work, but all three organizations suggest that counselors be motivated by the desire to assist clients achieve well-being above the desire for remuneration."
