Hello Dr. Smith and Class,
Yan Ping is a foreign exchange student who is from China. Yan Ping is studying in the United States for the past few months. While pursuing her studies she made a career that was not custom of her culture. Her parent plans were for her to study business , Yan Ping was interested in history, which was not her parents choice. Yan Ping is supposed to return home to China in approximately three weeks. She is afraid to return not knowing how her parent will feel about her wanting to study history. Yan Ping does not want to disappoint her parent however she is passionate about history. The social phenomenon present is the choice that Yan Ping has chosen a field of study that is considered a low social class status according to her parents. Also another cultural issue Yan Ping is not obeying the wishes of her parents who wants her to study business. To help Yan Ping work through her issues a strategic plan must be implemented to express her concerns with her parents. the ethical behavior of the social worker is apparent , and the conversation being that she offers Yan Ping, someone, to talk with one more accustomed to her cultural issues and beliefs. In addition the social worker also makes sure that it is kept confidentiality between Yan Ping and the social worker unless she is a threat to herself or other. Then other actions must take place.
Best Regards,
