Ethical Dilemma Case Study 3.3: Ms. Li's Family

The primary clients in this ethical dilemma are Ms. Li, her eldest daughter, Pareth Ling, and her four younger siblings. The involved parties are the Housing Project Agency and the AFDC, Aid to Families with Dependent Children. The cause of the dilemma is the housing agency that provides Ms. Li's family shelter. Their Section 8 Public Housing has a focus on empowering their residents to take control of their lives, providing comprehensive and integrated social services, and helping families utilize services to become economically sufficient and independent. In contrast, Ms. Li's Cambodian culture focuses more on being united and helping one another. Their culture focuses more on family than anything else. The ethical issues that are in conflict are between honoring the culturally specific family structures and life orientations of the Cambodian client, Ms. Li, and following the program imperatives and obligations of the agency, which emphasize Anglo-European life positions and self-sufficiency.

Potential Resolution for the Ethical Dilemma:

We can begin by encouraging Pareth to continue her GED studies.
There are a multitude of online resources to help ESL learners nowadays. These resources can be encouraged to Ms. Li as well.
It would be recommended that Pareth speaks with a therapist about her familial concerns and for additional support and guidance weekly.
Ms. Li speaks with a therapist that specializes in PTSD for additional support and past trauma processing weekly.
It would be recommended that Ms. Li secure a job for a couple hours a week to help increase their savings and have financial stability.
Overall, these mental-health, financial, and educational benefits would maximize the client's lives and help provide them with security and stability for the future while still maintaining respect for Cambodian culture.
How would providing individual and family therapy to Pareth and Ms. Li address their familial concerns and promote their well-being?

What specific benefits could Ms. Li and her family derive from accessing online resources and ESL support?

How would securing part-time employment for Ms. Li contribute to her financial stability and overall well-being?

How would considering Kantian and Utilitarian ethical theories help in making decisions that prioritize both Ms. Li's autonomy and the overall well-being of her family?
