What are Some of the Ethical Issues in Social Psychology?

I'm struggling to think of some ethical issues in social psychology research, I was thinking along the lines of Milgram's study on obedience would this be right? Are there any animal studies to talk about?

Milgram and Zimbardo cover lots of ethical issues within humans
Harlow and his Rhesus Monkeys cover animals.
