Considerations in Ethics

Every Profession needs a code of Ethics. Some important questions to create critical thinking about a code of ethics (Howard, 2001) are:

1.Reciprocity: Does the rule apply to you and are you initating or receiving the action?

2. Universality: Do you want the rules to apply to everyone?

3. Consistency: Is the system of rule logiclly consistent?

4. Actualization: Does the rule provide guidance for behavior?
