For example, this individual believed that where a conflict in law existed between two countries, instead of following the code of conduct that stated the more stringent law had to be followed, he followed the law of the country that the company or issue was located in. This was in direct violation of the company's code of conduct, but his behavior was not illegal or unjust because he was still following the law. The ethical problem existed because he was not following the regulation set in the code of conduct.
The ramifications of this behavior was that other employees began to interpret the code of conduct just as relaxed as he did, and often employed their one personal thought when making decisions affecting the company. This is a negative ramification because there may be instances where the employee's choice has a larger impact on the company as a whole. Another…...

Code of Conduct -- The school environment has changed over the past several decades. As is typical, the schools reflect many of society's values and certainly the cultural changes experienced in society are then reflected within the classroom. This has become particularly true when it comes to school violence, behavior, and the availability of firearms or weapons within the school environment. These factors, as well as other sociological changes (one-parent households, technology, gang behavior, substance abuse, etc.) require that schools adopt a stricter Code of Conduct that allows a semblance of safety for both faculty and the student body (Ballantine, 2007). However, it is important that any Code of Conduct also adequately reflect the standards expected of students, be reasonable, fair, and equitable -- as well as enforceable. It should suit the development of the learners at all levels. It must contain a set of moral values, norms and principles…...

Falsifying qualifications and other paperwork, which is also expressly forbidden in the code, would qualify as legal fraud in most instances, and would be punishable through both criminal and civil actions (NSPE 2007). Other provisions of the code are more purely ethical; the disclosure of conflicts of interest, even seemingly minor ones, would not always be a legal requirement (especially when the engineer is engaged in private projects with non-publicly traded companies/entities). The maintenance of public welfare that is the preeminent and paramount duty of engineers according to the code is also above and beyond the purely legal requirements (NSPE 2007).
One of the major purposes for the development and adoption of a code of ethics is to establish consistent practices -- and thus expectations -- within a profession (Davis 1991). This creates a system of ethics and conduct that serves almost all ethical frameworks that could be brought to…...

Code of Conduct
A professional code of conduct is essential for any profession. Indeed, a code of conduct is one of the things that uniformly separates professions from other types of jobs. Because professionals such as lawyers, doctors, accountants, and therapists hold positions of trust in which they can do both great good and great harm to their clients, it is imperative that professionals are bound to a code of conduct that limits their entirely human tendency to succumb to temptation.
The professional codes of conduct vary from profession to profession as one might expect, but they also share a number of similarities. Most codes of conduct, including those for lawyers as well as others involved in the legal system such as judges, include a provision that professionals do not misrepresent themselves. This requires lawyers to be truthful when describing their education, skills, experience, and training.
Professionals cannot be motivated entirely or even…...
In this case because of the substance abuse acknowledged by the nurse, special considerations would apply. According to the American Association of Colleges of Nursing, "Substance abuse is a recognized universal health problem affecting the nursing community that requires appropriate management" (American, 1996, p. 253). The question then becomes was the first administrator correct in her view, or was a full-blown discussion necessary in order to address the second administrator's concerns?
Accordingly the website espoused the fact that special care was to be implemented in this case.
The key, according to the website, was not what should or should not be the end result, but the steps taken in order to culminate in a fair and just decision for all involved. Justice, in this particular case would have to pertain to more than just what actions should be taken to punish the nurse for her choices. Other items to consider would…...

It Professional Code of Conduct and Ethics
The objective of this work in writing is to examine the code of conduct and ethics for Internet Technology (IT) professionals. Towards this end this study will examine the literature in this area of study.
Defining the IT Professional
There is no one set definition for the IT professional however, an IT professional is a professional that works with information technology including installation, implementation, servicing, training, and upgrades to computer and networking systems. Being a professional however, is more that possessing the knowledge of how to perform a job or possessing specific skills because being a professional means acting and conducting oneself in an ethical and honorable manner.

Hiring Ethical People & Code of Conduct
Differences between Code of Ethics and a Code of Conduct
Code of ethics describes principles related to decision making within an organization. They are simple statements that reflect the ideal steps to take in decision making on normal running of the organization (Stuart & Gilman, 2005). They also elaborate on those values of the organization that need to be upheld. Code of conduct describes standards that are firmly enforced in the organization outlining in detail the required and prohibited behaviors within an organization. A code of conduct borrows from the code of ethics and provides in detail the "do" and "do not" listing and explaining the situations they apply and legal implications. Code of conduct helps organizations build a reputation and healthy climates for work (Stuart & Gilman, 2005).
In as much both the code of ethics and code…...

Ethical Code of Conduct
Every company needs to understand the importance of having an ethical code of conduct in place. For an organization working in import and export, the same stays true and will in fact need to be further enhanced since the organization will be frequently dealing with people in other countries and hence needs to be even more ethical in its practices. Ethical code of conduct needs to follow a simple ethical framework where what is universally unacceptable should also be considered unacceptable for the organization.
Hiring practices
The firm adheres to the policy of equal opportunity for all and hence makes no discrimination on the basis of age, sex, color, race, religion or gender. The company will review each candidate applying for a position and give everyone due consideration and equal chance to qualify with no regard for anything other than experience, eligibility and screening naturally required to protect other…...
AT&T
Description of Business
AT&T is a telecommunications provider. In their 2013 Form 10-K, they describe their business as being "wireless communications, local exchange services, long distance services, data/broadband and Internet services, video services, telecommunications equipment, managed networking, and wholesale services. The company has three operating groups under its organizational structure: Wireless, Wireline and Other. The scope of its business is primarily in the United States, largely due to stringent telecommunications restrictions in most countries that discourage reliance on foreign providers. There are a couple of foreign subsidiaries but as yet these are not a critical component of the company's business. In total, 54% of revenues are provided by wireless and 46% by wireline (2013 Form 10-K).
There are several key issues that are critical for success. The first is technological investment. AT&T is engaged in competition in wireless that requires constant upgrading of infrastructure to meet market demands. This requires massive investments…...

Describe your company and benchmark the codes of conduct used by similar companies. Critique the codes of conduct for three other companies.
Benchmark codes: The code of conduct for my company (a newspaper publisher in a small town) is quite straightforward and unsophisticated. Basic to the code for my company are ethical issues which are in effect behavioral issues: there shall be no use or profanity, no alcohol or drug use, no wagering and no activities that detract from the daily routine. The federal laws against discrimination (based on gender, ethnicity, age, disabilities and other issues), and sexual harassment, are clearly spelled out in the code of conduct. Also federal laws pertaining to the workplace are posted conspicuously in several areas, including the cafeteria.

Codes of Conduct
The APA's specialty guidelines for forensic psychologists help establish a good baseline for behavior for forensic psychologists, but states may have more stringent requirements. For example, in the state of Texas, the Texas Administrative Code has a particular chapter devoted to the specific rules of practice governing forensic psychologists. The provisions of that chapter have the force of law and failure to abide by them can not only subject a psychologist to professional censure, but may also impact civil and criminal liability.
The guideline that seems the most challenging to me is one found in the state specific Texas guidelines. Under Texas Administrative Code § 465.18(d)(3), "the role of the psychologist in a child custody forensic engagement is one of a professional expert. The psychologist cannot function as an advocate and must retain impartiality and objectivity, regardless of whether retained by the court or a party to the divorce.…...

These codes go too far in punishing acts like alcohol and tobacco abuse without attempting in any real way to have an open discussion about these topics.
A more effective code of conduct is one that outlines general ethical and moral principles without listing specific punishments for specific offenses. In this way, students can be judged on the whole of their merits, rather than on a single incident, which renders the code more fairly applicable and efficient, too. The Colorado High School Activities Association Code of Ethics outlines such principles, including the principle to "strongly encourage the development of proper health habits," which includes not drinking and smoking (CHSAA, 2009). This code still promotes the same behaviors as the stricter codes, but with room for the realities of being a high school student facing various pressures and desires. It is doubtful that the adults who develop these codes of conduct…...

Members agree to report any breach of the TPI Code to the Institute, subject to legal restrictions and assist the Institute in any related investigation. Lastly, the Council has the power to discipline members who are in breach of the code, yet this action will only be undertaken if the Council believes is personally responsible for the breach.
Does the Code of Conduct Address the Conceptual and Legal Meaning of Professionalism:
The TPI Code of Conduct addresses some of the conceptual meaning of professionalism. Duty, honor and integrity are addressed in the clauses in a variety of ways. The clauses concerning conflict of interest, the commitment to lifelong learning, reporting of gifts or commissions, ensuring members do not make statements contrary to their bona fide opinions, and taking all steps possible to maintain professional competence cover these two aspects quite well. Caring and altruism, however, are not fully addressed with the…...

A strain on the Medicaid budged as a result of managed care can lead to raised healthcare costs and an increase in Medicaid bills (Shern et al., 2008).
The fair distribution principle in such a case is a difficult issue. On the one hand, patients receiving managed care benefit in terms of their health and keeping their costs low. Society does not benefit in general, and indeed the increase in costs to them can be seen as unfair. On the other hand, the benefit derived from managed care can be seen as fair to certain patients. As mentioned above, caring for some patients and not for others on the grounds of financial issues is not fair, while expecting the community to incur increased costs from managed care is also unfair. Again, a careful balance should be maintained between costs, quality and distribution of care.
One of the most important principles in…...

Chivalry refers to a code of conduct that was developed in the latter part of the Middle Ages in various parts of western Europe, most notably in what are parts of modern day France and Britain. Though it may be referred to a system or the chivalric code, it is not actually a codified system of norms or behaviors, but instead an informal code of moral behavior. Its origins can be traced back to around 1170, though it draws upon moral codes from earlier times, especially the Carolingian Empire, which featured a similar idolization of the soldier/warrior.

Military police play a crucial role in maintaining discipline and order within the armed forces during both times of conflict and peace. They enforce military regulations, investigate infractions, patrol military installations, and provide security for personnel and equipment.
During times of conflict, military police are responsible for maintaining order within military bases and ensuring the security of personnel and equipment. They also play a key role in providing law enforcement support in combat zones, including conducting patrols, establishing checkpoints, and detaining individuals who are deemed a threat to the mission.
