Professionalism Ethics
Introduction of the course
It is important not to define ethics as speech of
ideological indoctrination, in other words is a discursive field that reflects
praxis, so that the individuals can understand their actions in the context of
culture and society.
Ethics is a reflective inherent dimension to the
formation and professional activities, which allows that makes the individuals
not only understand the world in where they act, also it provides guiding
criteria to understand each other in daily and common actions.
There are questions that cannot be resolved by math,
such as: What is a profession? What involves being a professional? What is a
responsible, fair, solidary behavior when is performed in a profession? What
kind of leaders needs our place or country?
The formation not only means the training of some
skills or abilities in order to perform in a job or work in a production world.
Today is important to train students in awareness of entrepreneurial and
creative attitudes that allow students to be open independently their own
research and production spaces.
What is professional ethics?
Professionally
accepted standards of personal and business behavior, values and guiding
principles. Codes of professional ethics are often established by professional
organizations to help guide members in performing their job functions according
to sound and consistent ethical principles.
Components
Some
professional organizations may define their ethical approach in terms of a
number of discrete components. These include:
- Honesty
- Integrity
- Transparency
- Accountability
- Confidentiality
- Objectivity
- Respect
- Obedience to the law
- loyalty
Implementation
Most
professionals have enforced codes of practice that members of the profession
must follow to prevent exploitation of the client and to preserve the integrity
of the profession. This is not only for the benefit of the client but also for
the benefit of those belonging to the profession.
Disciplinary
codes allow the profession to define a standard of conduct and ensure that
individual practitioners meet this standard, by disciplining them from the
professional body if they do not practice accordingly. This allows those
professionals who act with a conscience to practice in the knowledge that they
will not be undermined commercially by those who have fewer ethical qualms.
Student ethics
As
attending college after high school graduation becomes a standard in the lives
of young people, Colleges and Universities are becoming more business-like in
their expectations of the students. Although people have differing opinions
about if it is effective, surveys state that it is the overall goal of the
University administrators. Setting up a business-like atmosphere helps students
get adjusted from a more relaxed nature, like high school, towards what will be
expected of them in the business world upon graduating from College.
