Abstract
This paper examines how virtually all police departments have some kind of formal ?Code of Ethics?, or guidelines, that tell the members of the police force what is and is not acceptable behavior. It looks at how the police in any community have tremendous power and how it?s important that the officers to whom the public entrust their safety act in honorable and ethical ways. It explores how, because of the Internet, it is possible for concerned citizens and anyone else to view the codes of ethics for many police departments across the country. It compares and contrasts the Code of Conduct for Washington, D.C. and Denver and Detroit, which have nearly identical codes, word for word.
From the Paper
"Grundstein-Amado (2001) argues that codes of ethics should serve three purposes: to inform the public about the goals of the organization; to encourage an ethical climate within the organization; and provide a structure for resolving ethical questions. However, it could also be reasonably stated that informing the public about the goals of the organization might be better done with a mission statement and that no code of conduct could be detailed enough to provide a plan for resolving ethical questions, which could range from charges of decision-making based on race to taking bribes to unwarranted violence against arrestees."

Abstract
This paper explains that, one of the oldest codes of ethics is in the Old Testament, known as the Ten Commandments, which are simple, easy to understand, documented rules for behavior, which are still used by a great number of organizations. The author points out codes of ethics belonging to such contemporary organizations as the medical profession, newspapers, psychologists and senior financial officers. The paper relates that a personal code of ethics should be short, easy to understand, adhere to the laws of the state and, above all else, the actions required should treat all people fairly and justly.
From the Paper
"As ethics codes change their main aim and become an exercise of the use of codes to protect a reputation first and foremost, it can be argued that there is less discretion allowed, indicating both a lower level of trust and a lower level of acceptable risk, seeking to cover and identify any and every situation. It may also be argued that, with a fifty two page document, it is also impossible for an individual, in this case an employee or contractor for the "New York Times", to read and memorize the entire document, reducing its effectiveness, seeking to extend its influence in terms of scope and influence private as well as public behavior."

Abstract
The paper analyzes how the respective codes of ethics of the professional counseling organizations; the American Counseling Association (ACA), the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC), and the American Association of Pastoral Counselors' (AAPC) reflect the differences in the approaches of these organizations to mental health and healing. The paper examines how codes of ethics usually share common core elements outlining the legal and ethical obligations of counseling professionals. The paper further examines how the ethical codes of these three groups differs on some key issues such as counseling methodology and techniques, and the professional's relationship to society.
From the Paper
"Explicit no-harm clauses are included in each ethical code. Fees are discussed overtly, too, with the AAPC and the AACC more explicit in their encouragement of pro bono work. The AACC also encourages sliding-scale work, but all three organizations suggest that counselors be motivated by the desire to assist clients achieve well-being above the desire for remuneration."

Abstract
This paper examines two organisations: Exxon Mobil and The Body Shop. It suggests that in the case of The Body Shop, the presence of an ethical code has increased their commitment to ethical marketing practices. However, in the case of Exxon Mobil, the presence of an ethical code does not necessarily ensure a strong commitment to ethical marketing practices. It concludes that the presense of an ethical code can only increase organisational commitment to ethical marketing practices if it is enforced by either an ethics officer or an ethical awareness programme. In addition, it shows how the effectiveness of ethical codes can vary between organisations and industries.
From the Paper
"The Body Shop is an organisation that set themselves tough standards within their code of ethics; their mission is to dedicate its business to the pursuit of environmental and social change (Anon 1, 2004). In an organisational context, the code of ethics has been developed in order to support the marketing objectives and the mission statement of the company. Due to the size of the company, the actions of the Body Shop are visible to the public and the external pressure to manage ethical activities is far greater than that of a smaller company (Weaver, 1993). Therefore, any mismanagement of ethical activities will reflect badly on the company and contradict the high expectations that have been outlined within the code of ethics. Weaver (1993) reinforces this perspective suggesting that it can be potentially dangerous for a company to use ethics as a positioning tool."

Codes of Counseling Ethics, 2005.
A comparison of the ethics codes of three counseling associations.

Abstract
This paper compares and contrasts the ethics codes of the American Counseling Association (ACA) 2005 Draft Code of Ethics, the American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) Code of Ethics-Y2004 Final Code, and the American Association of Pastoral Counselors (AAPC) Code of Ethics. The paper looks at responsibilities that the counseling associations share, as well as the responsibilities that are unique to each association.
From the Paper
"The first level of comparison between the three ethics codes begins with finding the similarities and differences they display in their duties to clients. There exist several similarities in this regard between them. In terms of obtaining informed consent, the ACA codes of ethics states (A2. a) that clients can choose to either continue or terminate treatment at any time. This would be after the counselor discharges his/her duty in informing the client exactly how the counseling would occur, what the counselor's credentials were, and what rights and responsibilities were enjoined upon both the counselor and client.

Abstract
In this article, the writer discusses that the corporate code of ethics in the form of policies promotes proper corporate governance and stewardship. The writer points out that the CIGNA Code of Ethics and Compliance Policies is an example of a policy document that incorporates guidelines, rules and regulations. Further, the writer explains that this document defines a scope and limitations and includes a clear statement of understanding, which is really a "no escape clause" implicitly and explicitly stating that all reasonable declarations and reminders are in the code ethics. The writer concludes that by following the form and substance of the code of ethics, CIGNA's code could be a model for other companies to follow.
From the Paper
"Policies, in general, are high-level statements of goals, objectives, beliefs and ethics that are higher management's directions indicating mandatory action and compliance corporate-wide; they are means of addressing and/or averting problems. But policies are not enough to ensure compliance since it should be released with guidelines and implementing rules and regulations to enable the recipients or readers of the policies to know and determine the actions required of them to abide by the policies. Policies, guidelines, rules and regulations may be in separate documents or consolidated in a single document."

Abstract
The topic of ethics from the aspect of a professional and scientific viewpoint has emerged as a topic of significant concern in recent years, both for the Department of Justice and for other organizations as well. Ethics is generally a term used to describe a set of values that describe what is right or wrong, good or bad. As a result, guidelines and discussions surrounding ethics should be applicable to a broad range of cases, as conflicts are likely to arise between ethical principles. Any system of ethical principles is derived from philosophical reasoning, and research in this area indicates that if we have a system of a few principles that apply in all cases and are never contradictory, we have a clear and precise ethical system. As easy as it sounds, however, this is not always the case. This paper examines and analyzes the code of ethics from a professional and scientific perspective.

Bibliography
From the Paper
"Many questions have been raised as to what the term "ethics" actually refers to. From a professional and scientific point of view, the ethics of business and the moral code of our society are inseparable, sometimes indistinguishable (Solomon & Hanson, 1985). Ethics is a branch of philosophy that is concerned with the principles and standards of human conduct. Ethics arise not from man's law but from human nature itself making it a body of natural laws from which man's laws follow (Bottorff, 2004). Ethics is a normative science that is concerned with the norms of human conduct. As a science ethics must follow the same rigors of logic as other sciences. When scientific ethical reasoning is properly applied ethics becomes a useful tool for sorting out the good and bad components of complex human interactions (Bottorff, 2004)."

Microsoft Corporation?s Code of Ethics.
This paper discusses Microsoft Corporation's code of ethics.
1,060 words (approx. 4.2 pages), 3 sources, APA, $ 37.95
»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper explains that the defenders of non-proprietary software, as opposed to Microsoft's proprietary model, might state that a Microsoft code of ethics is an oxymoron, given the company's perceived rapacity and market dominance, but the Microsoft Corporation does have a formal, published ethical code, which is accessible and formally defined. The author points out that the business code of ethics denies any anti-trust violations without mentioning the lawsuit, states why the Internet browser was wrongly defamed, and does not indicate anything specific as to how the company is achieving anti-trust compliance now. The paper states that the dominance of the firm in the market structure may be socially irresponsible, needlessly gouging consumers, and acting unfairly against rival firms; for a business to be socially responsible, it must fulfill its obligations to its employees, shareholders, consumers, and to the community where it operates at large.
From the Paper
"Microsoft's code of ethics applies to company software development, the legal and financial compliance of all the various national and international facets of its business dealings, and underlines its fair treatment of employees and customers. It is sweeping in its manifesto, but so sweeping it is inclined to be vague. Other than stressing Microsoft's compliance with laws, it is short on specifics as to how these compliances are achieved."

From the Paper
"There are many different types of psychological tests used to assess an individual's personality type and mental health status. Unfortunately the potential for abuse of psychological tests is high. Langley (2004) points out that tests are often administered by individuals that are not trained psychological professionals, and such individuals typically won't take into consideration factors that can affect individual performance, thus make judgment based on data that may not be 100 percent valid."

"In the case of something illegal occurring, each hospital has a process in place to discipline the individual, which includes reporting the incident to the proper legal authority, and the State Board of Nursing Registration. A nurse's license may be suspended or taken away. However, each institution will also support the nurse in evaluating an occurrence report, and how the incident happened, along with how it could have been prevented. There are many opportunities for teaching and putting better procedures into place that do not cause harm to the patient or cause a nurse to be fired. "
