Dear Student,
Hi and thank you for using Brainmass. The solution below should get you started. In this particular task you are being asked to reflect on ethics as it related to forming research questions. This is very specific and I think you should use a simple outline like this for a guide:

1. APA’s ethical position (100 words).
2. Use in forming RQs & consequences – 150 words
3. Culture and Ethics – 100 words

   Sincerely,
