Codes of Conduct Suffer from a dilemma Too broad and code doesn’t provide guidance (no letter of the law). Too specific and users take a legalese or jailhouse lawyer approach to compliance (break spirit of the law). Professional Organizations attempt to address this dilemma by having a section on general principles and a section on specific rules, rulings and interprestations.

How Do We Learn Ethical Behavior? Initially from our parents, teachers etc. Usually by adolescence. This presentation today will not change your values. Hopefully will provide some discipline to your thinking.
