1RIGHTS OF CHILDRENThe rights of a person are one of the basic freedoms avoided to the person in the societykeeping in mind their ethical moral and the social needs of the individual. In this essay, theimportance of the protection of the rights of the children is discussed along with the ethicaldilemmas faced by an individual in providing for those rights. The ethical dilemma of anindividual is a situation in which they have to work out between two or more possible choices allof which are correct (Newman, 2002). A person undergoing this dilemma in a social care servicemay have a great impact on the organization. The United Nations Convention for the Rights ofchildren brought forward a number of rights of the children, which are to be kept in mind by theadults who formulate policies and laws for the governance of the society (Unicef.org, 2018). Therights of the children under the UNCRC takes into consideration the different ways that thechildren are affected in the society due to the actions of the adults and therefore takes intoaccount the very different perspective of ascribing them their own rights which are to be kept inmind by all the societies. The case of Mayah is a scenario where the different ethical and themoral duties of the adults responsible for her well being are in conflict presenting a number ofsocial and ethical dilemmas.The overall situation that provides an ethical dilemma among the children of various agesis the proper consideration to be given to the choice of the children considering them asdeveloped self informed individuals. The special preference given to Mayah as per the request ofher parents will be difficult for the instructor as more individuals might ask for this and this canlead to discrimination among children (Newman & Pollnitz, 2005). The social identity theory ofthe people often leads to identification of the children from different ethnicities as others amongthem. This poses an ethical dilemma in the minds of the people and the morality and the ethics oftheir duty. In the case of Mayah, it is the duty of the instructor to provide what she needs at the

2RIGHTS OF CHILDRENchildcare and their acting over the instruction of her parents will accentuate the problems. Theseethnic and the moral issues are to be heeded in case the situation is to be controlled and improvedamong the people working in the children education and the childcare services.Discrimination is a major issue and may change the overall outlook of the children whoare discriminated against in the society. there are a number of issues that need to be addressed bythe director of the childcare and the parents to come to common terms in the case of Mayah. Theethical, issues and the moral dilemmas come into play as the different issues that are presented inthe situation (Kennedy, 2009). The moral and ethical grounds of this scenario cannot be easilyassessed as it is exceedingly tough to come to common conclusion based on their individualperceptions of the behavior of Mayah. The issues that are presented in the scenario is a majorissue that the adults are taking decision of the needs of the child based on the rules st by themand the rights of the child may be curbed in such scenario. The children rights should not becurbed even in such scenarios where the different children are to be provided by a personkeeping in mind the moral duty of the service. The code of ethics of the people working in suchethical and moral scenarios face a number of issues due the different scenarios that are faced inworking in the social sector.The ethical dilemma, according to me, arises out of the need of the different ethicaldecisions to be made by an individual in the different scenarios. As a social worker and a familysupport provider one needs to understanding and adaptable to the different scenarios they mayface in their works (Lansdown, 2005). The educator faces a dilemma as he acts against the normsof code of ethics that he has been taught to act upon therefore he cannot curb her right to sleepwhen she needs that sleep for the request of her parents.
