Ethics codes and how they are enforced.

Abstract

Each profession shares many, varied attributes. They include selective recruitment, lengthy periods of education and training, the development of a shared language (including technical jargon), and controlled entrance into practice. A common characteristic of professions, and of occupations that would like to be perceived as professions, is the development and dissemination of a code of ethics that both emphasizes devotion to fundamental values, such as service to the public and concern for the welfare of those the profession serves, and informs the public of the positive qualities of those who pledge to adhere to the code.Learning about ethics and the particular code of conduct promulgated by one's professional .organization is, thus, one of the major and essential components of a student's socialization into the profession. Ethics teach "the way a group of associates define their special responsibility to one another and to the rest of the social order in which they work' (Erikson, 1967, p. 367). The code of ethics itself, which embodies the formal expression of these responsibilities, should, therefore, instruct those who study it how to relate to their colleagues and how to fulfill their professional roles and responsibilities toward those they serve-clients, patients, employers, research participants, students, institutions, and the public at large.
