Class Assignment

Week 4 - Discussion 2

Your initial discussion thread is due on Day 3 (Thursday) and you have until Day 7 (Monday) to respond to your classmates. Your grade will reflect both the quality of your initial post and the depth of your responses.

Typically all organizations have codes of ethics by which they govern their decisions and conduct. This week’s assignment requires you to create a professional code of ethics. This discussion helps you prepare for the Week Four assignment by exploring and analyzing various codes of ethics from various educational institutions.  
Initial Post: Construct a post that:

1. Compares and contrasts two codes of ethics by using the codes provided below or one from your school/organization or an organization that interests you.

2. Include a rationale for why you selected the codes you did to compare, an explanation of the paradigm(s) (concept or thought pattern) that each code reflects, and

3. Construct a table to outline the key components of your comparison/contrast.
