Essay Instructions: This assignment is a series of questions about a poll that was taken on CNN.com. I will send the two prospective polls via e-mail. For the assignment, only one poll needs to be picked and used. The assignment:

"Throughout this semester, we have discussed various polls focusing specifically on the clarity of the question, the potential interpretation of the respondents, and the benefit of the poll overall. We have discussed who is surveyed(if such information is provided) and, in turn, who has been left out. I have encouraged you to be wary of statistics and polls presented as definitive knowledge without knowing more about the who (conducted/responded), what (to what end/whose purpose), when (before/after, during the event of focus), where (how was the sample gathered), and whys (is a particular agenda being served by posing this question and publishing the results?).
Attached (by e-mail) you will find a copy of 2 polls published by CNN. (Please respond to only one survey and clearly identify your selection.) Write your response to the following questions. Answer each question individually, by number.

1) Who are the respondents?
2) Do you think the question posed is clear? Please explain what you have interpreted it to mean.
3) How might the question have been posed more clearly? (If you have multiple interpretations, please describe each and provide a relevant and concise question with which to gather relevant data from respondents.)
4) Are the answer options provided to respondents sufficient? Please explain why or why not and, if not, what options would you have provided?
5) What do the responses tell you about how the people feel?
6) Are the responses clear?
7) How might the responses be interpreted?

As social work/social service students, you are learning about the distinction between personal values and professional ethics.

8) Briefly discuss your personal response to this question (and be sure that your individual interpretation is noted here or, if previously noted, that it is clearly identifiable).
9) Are social work ethics relevant? Please explain why or why not?
10) Briefly explain your professional response to this question (and explain how you have interpreted it). Whose rights are reflected in this question? Whose rights should be considered? Are anyone's rights of greater importance than another group's?
11) Is there a difference between your personal values and professional ethics?
12) How does the information provided by this poll reflect on current policy and government (federal/state/local) policies?"

THE BOLD PRINT REPRESENTS THE SUBHEADINGS FOR THIS ASSIGNMENT
The pages should be numbered (not title page) and have a running head...but not my name please...the professor does not want our name on the pages...

I am taking the material out of chapter 2 from the book in Foundations of Social Work Practice; Fourth Edition Mark A. Mattaini and Christine T. Lowery. If you need me to fax a copy of the chapter I can. I would also like you to research one web site article or peer reviewed journal article that may apply as a second reference. Also, I used Advanced Writers.com before...I ended up PROOFREADING their work. It was really bad and I do not want to have the same experience! If you wish me to fax, I will need a fax number.
