Ethical Conduct

From a personal perspective, being ethical means reacting and taking initiatives as the society would expect at any particular time. Academically, being ethical implies that one follows academic rules, and steers clear of some issues such as plagiarizing other people’s work. On the other hand, ethical conduct within the professional environment implies that one follows the guidelines set within the profession, with enough diligence to ensure that he or she serves the interests of both the community and the employer.
