Not sure about III being relevant to harassment cases.

I agree, I and II cover the main issues.

Surprised that some might think III isn’t applicable!

I disagree, III should be included too.

I think all three principles could be connected, but I'm leaning towards A or B. II seems the most directly related to harassment.

I feel like both I and II should apply here. I recall a practice question that highlighted the importance of not reflecting poorly on our profession.

I'm a bit unsure about III. It seems more about long-term planning rather than immediate ethical issues like harassment.

I remember discussing how the AICP Code emphasizes respect for others, so I think II is definitely relevant to sexual harassment.

Ugh, I hate questions about ethics codes. They always feel so vague and open-ended. I'm going to go with B just to cover all my bases, but I'm not super confident about this one.

Hmm, this seems straightforward. Sexual harassment is clearly a form of improper discrimination, so I'd say II is definitely applicable. I'm not as sure about I and III, but I think A is the safest bet.

This is a tricky one. I think the key is to focus on the principles that relate to discrimination and professional conduct. I'm leaning towards A, but I'll need to re-read the question carefully.

Okay, let's think this through. Sexual harassment is a deliberate wrongful act that reflects badly on a planner's professionalism, so I think I is relevant. And it's clearly a violation of respecting others' rights, so II makes sense too. I'm not convinced III applies, so I'll go with A.

I'm pretty confident that the "hero procedure" is an example of an interdependent group contingency. In that type, the group's success depends on the performance of one or a few individuals, which seems to match the description in the question.

This is a tricky one. I'm not sure if allowing the customer to vent is the best approach, as that could just escalate the situation. I'll have to think this through carefully.

This seems like a straightforward question about the role of internal audit after a fraud investigation. I'm pretty confident I can figure this out.

I think Next Generation Firewalls are primarily deployed before an attack, but I'm not entirely sure about that.

Okay, I think I've got it. The key is that the question is asking about a characteristic of identity management systems, and presence and location are used to determine available services. So the answer must be A. Digital identity.

Hmm, the different delivery models and security mechanisms are a bit confusing. I'll need to carefully read through the details to make sure I understand the scenario before attempting to answer.
