Professional Ethics

In the Dictionary of Science and Communication, Ethics is defined as the

philosophical-normative and theoretical-practical science that studies the individual and

social issues of the person about the morality in the human acts, under the human reason

having always as aim the honesty.

The term Professional Ethics rules the behavior of a professional in his/her work

activity. A lot of authors define this term in their own ways, two of the most interesting

definitions are:

The ethics of a profession is the set of rules, in terms of which we define as good

or bad, a practice and professional relationship. The good refers to the fact that the

profession constitutes a community aimed at achieving of a certain purpose (Vaillarini)

.. has as aim clarify the obligations and dilemmas of a professional class that

works with the acquisition, processing and dissemination of the information for

individuals and society (Bustamante Rodrguez)

From these definitions, we can say in our own words Professional Ethics is the

branch of Ethics that include the rules and normative that a professional must to comply

while he/she is doing his/her work activities, following the moral and ethics principles.
