Therefore, it is obvious that the field of activity of education is much more concerned with the interpersonal relation between the student and the teacher, thus between human beings, than any other field of work. This is why it is important to consider the ethical issues and problems that may arise in such relationships because depending on the gravity of each situation it affects the psychological level of the individual.
The next section of a code of ethics and conduct is represented by the values, rules and norms of the respective institution. These are important because, in fact, they are the actual content of the code of conduct. In general terms, these include the core values and principles which…...

MV produces activated carbon for use in beverages, sweetener, various food products, pharmaceuticals and chemical / gas/air environmental industries.

Ethics
There are many factors that go into creating a code of ethics for an organization. At its simplest, a code of ethics should be a "collection of principles and practices that a business believes in and aims to live by (Spiro, 2010). The code should have a certain degree of clarity, because it ideally will serve as a reference point for employees and for other stakeholders. Yet there are many challenges when it comes to creating a code, because both the field of ethics and today's organizations have a high degree of complexity.

Challenges

Kaptein and Wempe (1998) provide a helpful guide to understanding many of the issues that organizations face when creating codes of ethics. First, the code needs to have an underlying consistency that can be understood by the audience. Second, the code cannot be so vague that it means nothing. Many codes of ethics are too vague to have…...

Code of Ethics - Assessment
After reading thoroughly through the American Counseling Association Code of Ethics document, there was one aspect that I found really surprising. The overall structure of the document was very naive or somewhat ordinary. It had separated heading and each heading had at least 4-5 lines of description. I found this particular structure to be a very immature approach to presenting facts on Counseling Ethics and their assessment techniques.

Not only did I find it immature, I also felt it was incoherent and difficult to go through as it felt abrupt and disconnected when reading due to the heading and all the divisions. It felt like it was of a handout that would allow students to memorize the headings and then relate them later on in a test or a paper as opposed to a guideline for counselors who were looking for an official guidance for ethical conduct…...

Code of Ethics: Malpractice and elevance
According to Black's Law Dictionary, malpractice is "professional misconduct or unreasonable lack of skill. Failure of one rendering professional services to exercise that degree of skill or learning commonly applied under all the circumstances in the community by the average prudent, reputable member of the profession with the result of injury, loss or damage to the recipient of those services" (p. 959).

A code of ethics or conduct can help professional counselors avoid unintentionally committing breaches of trust, therapeutic relationship or other actions that are violative of the patient-counselor relationship that can be construed as malpractice.

Information on religious group's policies on confidentiality and dual relationships.

According to Audette (1988), in the Catholic Church, for example:

"The therapeutic ethic relies largely on a contract model of a professional-client relationship: confidentiality is based on the dual needs of respecting the individual and preserving the character of relationships. This approach does…...

The Australian Association of Social Worker's Code of Ethics (2010) is designed to help social workers navigate the often-thorny issues which concern professionals, particularly when they are working with historically disadvantaged groups. The ethical guide aspires to set professional ideals yet also provide practical guidance. It repeatedly underlines the new commitment of the profession to honor the multicultural nature of Australian society.

Code of Ethics and Principles of Professional Conduct of the Education Profession in Florida
Despite there being a clear Code of Ethics and Principles of Professional Conduct for the Education Profession in Florida, we have all witnessed a myriad of court cases whereby educators are accused of violating these very same guidelines they are supposed to observe and promote. In this text, I highlight a number of cases where educators have violated the said ethical codes and principles. The court cases I will concern myself with include State of Florida vs. Debra Beasley Lafave, Howard W. Adams and andy D. Ward, v. State of Florida, Professional Practices Council, and Tomerlin v. Dade County School Board.

Ethics in Social Science
What are the ethical issues that anthropologists and other social scientists should consider when conducting research with people?

Ethics can be a consideration of right and wrong in regards to the motives that a person acts out of as well as the actual behaviors that these individuals display. For example, a person could have good intentions but still act unethically or a person could have unethical intentions but never act them out. Most anthropologists have pure intentions and respect the people that they are studying. However, many early attempts to study isolated tribes with pure intentions had many unforeseen consequences such as the spread of disease. Furthermore, there were also claims that during the mid-twentieth century some anthropologists were using their profession as an avenue to collect information about various communities only to have this information be used against an enemy in times of war. Although both of…...

It is about being a good citizen in the world. Integrity also has another meaning and that is to be whole or undivided. One can also look at this definition as something to do with character as well if we consider that one is whole and stronger when one has a strong sense of morals. Independence, which is a personal code of ethics, perhaps doesn't work in the workplace because business is about working together. I won't be working alone and a business is run by the efforts of many people. 'Attitude' in my personal code of ethics includes not gossiping or being a person who promotes negativity. This could go under integrity as well, but it is such an important element to me. I believe that you become what you put out there in the world and I, personally, don't gossip and I don't like to be around…...

Code of Ethics
Over a period of time organizations around the world have realized the need to emphasis on making ethics as an integral part of their overall business strategy. While organizational activities in a corporate sector are carried out primarily from a commercial and a non-welfare point-of-view, lately management theorists and researchers have suggested that organizations that are socially responsible and ethically conscious are likely to have a far better goodwill, brand image and Public elations

Besides the revelations made by management theorists and researchers, lately the government have also realized the need to take actions in order to protect the consumers and the society at large from the externalities that occur as a result of increasing capitalistic approaches. This is topped by increasing pressures by pressure groups and media campaigns. Besides corporate sector, practices and ethical standards by non-profit organizations have also come under government scrutiny. The society at large…...
