    Based on Mike’s behaviors and lack of professionalism and work ethic, Justin can tell that Mike is not performing his ethical duties. As the ACA Code of Ethics (2005) states, Justin should first attempt to resolve the issue informally with his colleague (ACA, 2005, p.19). Confronting another counselor about unethical behavior may be difficult and cause feelings of discomfort for both counselors involved. This is an ethical responsibility and may be the only action needed to resolve the problem (Remley & Herlihy, 2014, p. 388). Justin should approach Mike with an attitude of empathy and compassion which may help Mike to see that he needs to correct these problems. Using a judgmental attitude when discussing the problem with Mike would be unhelpful. Justin should point out that ethical standards A.1 and C.2.F are of concern. If the problem is not resolved, further action needs to be taken. If Justin believes this will cause conflict between himself and Mike, he could report any concerns to his principal, who is the person that both of these counselors report to. The principal would be the only other appropriate person to intervene in this case at this point.…

    When I am asked about my ethnic backgrounds I have always said Spanish. You couldn't tell this by looking at me but my Dad's side of the family is Spanish and Navajo mixed and my Mom's side is from all over the place and mainly from Texas. I get my looks from her because they are all light skinned and light eyes but I really identify with my Dad's side of the family. I would say that I consider myself a "typical" American, I would imagine that we all can. The United States is great because of all the diversity, with so many different people who consider themselves American I think its hard to say there is even a "typical" looking American.…
