What ethics questions from the chapter would help you decide?

As a hiring manager, I would need to consider the ethical implications of Jessie's actions in taking a photograph of someone without their consent. The code of ethics for our firm likely includes principles of respect for individuals and their privacy, as well as the ethical use of photography.
Some ethics questions from our code of ethics that would help me decide whether to hire Jessie include:
- Did Jessie obtain the person's consent before taking the photograph?
- Did Jessie consider the potential impact of his "City Plight" series on the individuals he photographed?
- Did Jessie consider the potential consequences of sharing these photographs publicly, and did he take steps to protect the privacy and dignity of the individuals depicted?
Ultimately, I would need to assess whether Jessie's actions align with our firm's ethical standards and whether he demonstrates a thoughtful and respectful approach to his photography work. If his actions raise ethical concerns, it may impact our decision to hire him.

Career professionals must understand factors related to historical trauma of assessment with some cultural groups and take steps to avoid perpetuating prejudices.Career professionals are cautious in using assessment techniques normed on populations other than that of the client, recognizing that dimensions of diversity may affect assessment results.When interpreting assessment results, career professionals should consider the client's culture, and the degree to which the client can understand results.
