From the Paper
"Employees must follow corporate practices that are designed to protect confidential information. Among the practices that should be followed are keeping that information secure in the workplace, using the information only to do their job and not for personal benefit, sharing the information within SGE only when necessary for others to do their job, and not divulge the confidential information to those not employed by SGE. If confidential information must be shared with persons outside of SGE, a written confidentiality agreement must be used and the employee should consult the legal department prior to sharing of the information for details."

Conclusion

From the Paper
"Professionalism, as a conceptual term, is ambiguous in nature. There have been a variety of definitions applied throughout the decades. In general, professionalism is individuals acting upon ideals and values during their service of individuals and population, who have entrusted them. Professionalism involves prioritizing the interests of clients being served above their own. Hammer et al. conceptualize professionalism as being akin to a bicycle wheel. In the center of the wheel are the core values associated with professionalism including: caring, honor, altruism, duty, and integrity. Spokes of behaviors that are associated with these values then radiate from the center, including: accountability, respect, compassion, and empathy. The outer ring of the concept, the tire of the wheel, is the surface of professionalism and includes such things as: punctuality, courtesy, and professional dress."

Abstract
This paper discusses the student code of conduct on university campuses and looks at how this code is not always respected or upheld by the students attending the universities. The paper then goes on to elaborate on how students do not always comply with the student code of conduct and concludes that a student code of conduct is not enough to ensure proper behavior and conduct on campus. Instead, universities should seek alternative actions to enforce and uphold polices that will ensure that the students are enriched through a "safe" and positive academic experience.

From the Paper
" Another act of violence that is occurring on college campuses is hazing. "Hazing" includes activities such as being kidnapped, abandoned, excessive drinking, sexual acts, assault, and in some circumstances, even death. Hazing continues to be prevalent amongst college students as a form of "initiation" or "admission". Students believe that hazing promotes unity and team cohesiveness. The reality about hazing is that it usually goes on under a blanket of sworn secrecy (Campo, Paulos, Sipple, 2005); which makes this problem one that should not be tolerated. A zero tolerance rule should also be adopted for any violent acts on campus. Campo and her colleagues (2005), describe hazing as any activity that is a "condition of initiation" in an organization that may have a negative impact on the physical and/or emotional well-being of individuals and/or their peers. Hazing has been practiced for years; most commonly identified to athletes, fraternities and sororities."

Abstract
Studies performed by Brandenburg and others suggest that 6 to 10 percent of school-age adolescents show signs of conduct disorder and that 25 to 50 percent of juveniles with conduct disorder become antisocial adults. This paper provides an overview of conduct disorder in young people. It looks at symptoms, nature and nurture factors that contribute to conduct disorder, as well as treatment options.

From the Paper
"School remains an immeasurable source of influence in juvenile behavior. Children spend as much time interacting in school relationships as they do in family relationships. Curriculum that is designed for the "normal" student may not be effective with those affected by Conduct Disorder. Also, the same problem with discipline exists with school relationships as it does with family relationships (Hallahan, 234)."

Abstract
This paper explains that there is much the school psychologist and other health care professionals can do to help reduce the problems accompanying conduct disorder in children, by initiating early diagnosis and treatment. The author points out that the primary role of the school psychologist in cases where children demonstrate tendencies toward conduct disorder is acting as a collaborative member of the child's health care team. The paper relates that the school psychologist may serve as a primary resource for family members and teachers desiring greater communication and knowledge of the child's disorder.

Conclusions/Recommendations

From the Paper
"The American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry defines conduct disorder as "a group of behavioral and emotional problems" in young children and adolescents. Conduct disorder typically presents with various symptoms that may include children demonstrating difficulty following rules or "behaving in a manner that is socially acceptable." Among the more commonly demonstrated behaviors among children with CD include: threatening or intimidating others, initiating fights including physical fights, displaying cruelty to others, stealing, forcing others to engage in violent, harmful or sexual behaviors."

Abstract
Conduct Disorder involves a constellation of behaviors including violation of the basic rights of others, aggression toward people and animals, damage to property, lying and stealing, and/or serious violation of rules. Children with conduct disorder have been shown to have significant problems in social interaction. The present paper provides a general overview of conduct disorder, while focusing on possible factors in social and emotional development that have been shown to contribute to it. Specifically, this paper suggests that deficiencies in empathy and "Theory of Mind" are significantly associated with the development of this disorder, but not causes of it.

From the Paper
"A similar and related concept of empathy is "theory of mind" or "mentalizing". Happe and Frith (1996) define theory of mind as "the ability of normal individuals to attribute mental states to themselves and others in order to explain and predict behavior" (p. 386). Several researchers (e.g., Frith, Morton, & Leslie, 1991) have attempted to distinguish theory of mind from empathy by claiming that mentalizing is an implicit and unconscious rather than a conscious phenomenon."
