“…Some of them do not feel confident in dealing with ethical dilemmas, especially if they have not had any formal ethical education during their training; they do not trust themselves to exercise the skills needed for a systematic analysis of the conflicts in values that can arise between physicians, families, and society in actual clinical decisions [31].…”

Perhaps one of the main ethical dilemmas physicians face in cancer medicine is the question of truthfulness with terminally ill cancer patients. Reluctance to share the truth with the patient about his or her diagnosis and/or prognosis is frequently associated with cultural pressures. Based on two cases, the authors illustrate how ethical analysis can help in solving dilemmas related to truth disclosure to terminally ill cancer patients and their families. A personalist approach reveals that the often-adduced conflict between nonmaleficence/beneficence and autonomy with regard to truth telling originates from a narrow understanding of the concept of autonomy. This confrontation is, therefore, more apparent than real. A brief review of the main ethical systems and the results of their application to clinical decision-making follow the discussion of the cases.

“…Coverage of ethics was generally restricted to discussion of professional codes in auditing courses and was not otherwise formalized or systematic (Loeb and Beding eld, 1972;Langenderfer and Rockness, 1989). In contrast, other professions such as law and medicine have had a long tradition of requiring ethics courses as part of their education (Pellegrino et al, 1985). The situation with accounting has now changed, with ethics education required as part of an accredited curriculum or professional programme in most countries (Gray et al, 1993).…”

There has been pressure from various business and professional accounting bodies to place greater emphasis on ethics education. This has been reflected in academic research and curriculum development. The purpose of this paper is to expand the debate on accounting ethics education to take into account the globalization of business, accounting and educational services and to draw attention to the importance of cross-cultural factors. To illustrate this the paper discusses the impact that Confucius has had on the ethical thinking of East and South East Asia. Where appropriate, comparisons are made with Western attitudes and secular philosophies. This focus has been chosen because of the current and future importance of the Asian area to global commerce, and the fact that an understanding of its ethical thinking and behaviour is not possible without an appreciation of Confucian thought.Accounting Ethics Education Cross-CULTURAL Confucius Asia,

“…In the area of ethics and professionalism, for example, this developmental insight was particularly significant. Instead of assuming that professional "character" was defined before medical training, this model posited that physicians could learn and be taught about ethics and professional expectations [13][14][15]. The competency movement thus brought new obligations to both learners and teachers to be accountable for the outcomes of the educational process.…”
