Organizational Ethics Paper

Code of Ethics

Find a professional organization within your future career.  Go to their website and look up the organization’s “Code of Ethics”.  If you are not familiar with professional organizations in your area of interest, the book lists examples in each chapter about the discipline.  For example, if you are FND, go to Chapter 6 and you will find organization ideas and their websites.  If you would like to look at FCS organizations, Figure 3-3 on page 50 gives a list of organizations and websites too.

After reading through the organization’s code of ethics, provide a 1 to 2 sentence explanation of 5 of the 6 each area listed below.  In addition, provide one example of how you will address each of the following code of conduct areas.

For example, I might look at the Faculty Code of Conduct at ISU and state I will not share student grades with other students and faculty as an example of 3, confidentiality.  Or I might look at the National Association for the Education of Young Children’s Code of Ethics.  I would define that competence means being current in the latest early childhood trends.  Then I would provide an example such as attending a conference on brain development.

1. Honesty
