In assessing the moral impact of professionalism in our society, he examines both the structure and organization of occupations and the ideals and ideology associated with professions.

Download or read book Public Relations Ethics and Professionalism written by Johanna Fawkes and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2014-08-01 with total page 258 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Do professions really place duty to society above clients' or their own interests? If not, how can they be trusted? While some public relations (PR) scholars claim that PR serves society and enhances the democratic process, others suggest that it is little more than propaganda, serving the interests of global corporations. This is not an argument about definitions, but about ethics - yet this topic is barely explored in texts and theories that seek to explain PR and its function in society. This book places PR ethics in the wider context of professional ethics and the sociology of professions. By bringing together literature from fields beyond public relations - sociology, professional and philosophical ethics, and Jungian psychology - it integrates a new body of ideas into the debate. The unprecedented introduction of Jungian psychology to public relations scholarship shifts the debate beyond a traditional Western 'Good/Bad' ethical dichotomy towards a new holistic approach, with dynamic implications for theory and practice. This thought-provoking book will be essential reading for students, academics and professionals with an interest in public relations, ethics and professionalism.
Download or read book Ethics and Professionalism written by John H. Kultgen and published by University of Pennsylvania Press. This book was released on 1988 with total page 412 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Exploring the relationship between morality and professional ideals, Kultgen examines the structure and organization of occupations and the ideals and ideology associated with professions. He argues that professionalization of occupations can both harm and benefit society, and that by converting occupations into organized special interest groups, the professions serve some sectors of society at the expense of others. On the other hand, he highlights the positive points of the professional ideal and explores ways in which it can be used to advance the physical and moral welfare of society. Kultgen also shows how it is the practices within the professions that determine whether rules and ideals are used as masks for self-interest or for genuinely moral purposes.

Download or read book The Trusted Doctor written by Rosamond Rhodes and published by Oxford University Press, USA. This book was released on 2020-02-17 with total page 433 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Common morality has been the touchstone of medical ethics since the publication of Beauchamp and Childress's Principles of Biomedical Ethics in 1979. Rosamond Rhodes challenges this dominant view by presenting an original and novel account of the ethics of medicine, one deeply rooted in the actual experience of medical professionals. She argues that common morality accounts of medical ethics are unsuitable for the profession, and inadequate for responding to the particular issues that arise in medical practice. Instead, Rhodes argues that medicine's distinctive ethics should be explained in terms of the trust that society allows to the profession. Trust is the core and starting point of Rhodes' moral framework, which states that the most basic duty of doctors is to "seek trust and be trustworthy." Building from this foundation, Rhodes explicates the sixteen specific duties that doctors take on when they join the profession, and demonstrates how her view of these duties is largely consistent with the codes of medical ethics of medical societies around the world. She then explains why it is critical for physicians to develop the attitudes or "doctorly" virtues that comprise the character of trustworthy doctors and buttress physicians' efforts to fulfil their professional obligations. Her book's presentation of physicians' duties and the elements that comprise a doctorly character, together add up to a cohesive and comprehensive description of what medical professionalism really entails. Rhodes's analysis provides a clear understanding of medical professionalism as well as a guide for doctors navigating the ethically challenging situations that arise in clinical practice
Download or read book Just a Job written by George Cheney and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-11-12 with total page 309 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From cartoons to boardrooms comes the statement, "It's not personal. It's just business." Just a Job? Communication, Ethics, and Professional Life offers a provocative perspective on ethics at work. The book questions the notions that doing ethics at work has to be work, and that work is somehow a sphere where a different set of rules applies. This problematic line between work and life runs through the ways we commonly talk about ethics, from our personal relationships to the domains of work, including the organization, the profession, and the market. Talk about ethics is far more than "just talk," and this book shows how and why it matters. Drawing from the fields of communication and rhetoric, the authors show how the very framing of ethics--even before we approach specific decisions--limits the potential roles of ethics in our work lives and the pursuit of happiness, and treats it as something that is meaningful only at special moments such as when faced with dilemmas, or as the last chapter in a business book. Separating ethics from life, we put it beyond our daily reach. The authors argue against ethical myopia limited to spectacular scandals or comprehensive professional codes. Instead, they propose a master reframe of ethics based on a new take on virtue ethics, including Aristotle's practical ideal of eudaimonia or flourishing, which tells new stories about the ordinary as well as extraordinary aspects of professional integrity and success. By reframing ethics as not special, they elevate it to its rightful position in work and personal life. Generously illustrated with examples and ideas from scholarly as well as popular sources, this book asks us to reconsider the meaning of and path toward the "good life."

Download or read book Ethics in Professional Life written by Sarah Banks and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2008-11-24 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: What does it mean to be a good professional? What is the role of courage in professional life? How do we develop the moral qualities of respectfulness, justice and care? Firmly rooted in practice, this book is a timely exploration of the nature and value of a virtue-based approach to ethics in health and social care. Skilfully drawing on relevant moral philosophical literature, Part I offers a clear yet critical account of virtue ethics. Virtue ethics bases ethical evaluations on the moral qualities or character traits of professional practitioners. This approach, the authors argue, is a vital counter-balance to the recent emphasis in professional ethics on the regulation of conduct by rules and procedures. Part II explores the key virtues of professional wisdom, courage, respectfulness, care, trustworthiness, justice and integrity. Each chapter starts with examples from practice and ends with strategies for cultivating these key virtues in education and practice. Ethics in Professional Life is a challenging and original text that is ideal reading for all students, practitioners and academics in the field of health and social care.

Download or read book Professionalism in the Information and Communication Technology Industry written by John Weckert and published by ANU E Press. This book was released on 2013-10-15 with total page 380 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professionalism is arguably more important in some occupations than in others. It is vital in some because of the life and death decisions that must be made, for example in medicine. In others the rapidly changing nature of the occupation makes efficient regulation difficult and so the professional behaviour of the practitioners is central to the good functioning of that occupation. The core idea behind this book is that Information and Communication Technology (ICT) is changing so quickly that professional behaviour of its practitioners is vital because regulation will always lag behind.
Download or read book The Tragi comic Professional written by Paul R. Dokecki and published by . This book was released on 1996 with total page 200 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book is intended for those who wish to develop a framework for thinking about ethics in practice. Paul Dokecki, a psychologist interested in community, clinical and developmental psychology, speaks beyond that discipline to develop a human science ethical theory that incorporates the latest ethics- related thinking in the humanities, philosophy of action, and social phenomenology. Few books that are related to professional ethics go beyond 'how to' or casebook orientations. In this work, Dokecki explores the place of value and ethics in the professional's life world. While ethics is typically viewed as a separable aspect of professional practice to be invoked only when necessary, Dokecki's thesis is that the professions -- both in their interventions and in their systematic inquiry -- must be understood as ethical to the core, and that professionals should understand their professional ethical obligations in the context of the human condition. professions must recognize that the essential purpose of professional practice is to promote the common good through the enhancement of the client's human development and of community

Download or read book Responsible Professionalism written by Herman Siebens and published by Gompel&Svacina. This book was released on 2019-05-29 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thinking about responsible behaviour in the professional and business world (but also as a citizen) in its current form may only be ‘fashionable’ recently, it is of all times. And it apparently belongs to everyone: everyone thinks they can form an opinion about everything and also thinks that their opinion is well-founded. We risk falling into ethical relativism: everything is possible, because ultimately all opinions seem equally correct/incorrect. Facts-free opinions, alternative facts and fake news then suddenly become acceptable opinions. This book offers business leaders and employees, but also teachers and students the necessary insights, a framework and a step-by-step plan to efficiently and thoughtfully tackle ethical dilemmas in the daily civilian, professional and business world by a full-fledged reflection: analytical, methodical, clearly argued. This as an impetus to a more conscious and lived ethical attitude, integrity and ‘spirituality’ and to a structural embedding of responsible action in the strategy and policy of the organization. This book is aimed at all readers who are interested in the phenomenon of acting responsibly (including corporate responsibility) and are looking for a not too extensive, pleasant to read but still thorough introduction to the theme.
Download or read book Establishing Transdisciplinary Professionalism for Improving Health Outcomes written by Institute of Medicine and published by National Academies Press. This book was released on 2014-04-07 with total page 211 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Establishing Transdisciplinary Professionalism for Improving Health Outcomes is a summary of a workshop convened by the Institute of Medicine Global Forum on Innovation in Health Professional Education to explore the possibility of whether different professions can come together and whether a dialogue with society on professionalism is possible. Most of the 59 members making up the Global Forum were present at the workshop and engaged with outside participants in active dialogue around issues related to professionalism and how the different professions might work effectively together and with society in creating a social contract. The structure of the workshop involved large plenary discussions, facilitated table conversations, and small-group breakout sessions. In this way, the members - representing multiple sectors, countries, health professions, and educational associations - had numerous opportunities to share their own perspectives on transdisciplinary professionalism as well as hear the opinions of subject matter experts and the general public. Efforts to improve patient care and population health are traditional tenets of all the health professions, as is a focus on professionalism. But in a time of rapidly changing environments and evolving technologies, health professionals and those who train them are being challenged to work beyond their traditional comfort zones, often in teams. A new professionalism might be a mechanism for achieving improved health outcomes by applying a transdisciplinary professionalism throughout health care and wellness that emphasizes crossdisciplinary responsibilities and accountability. Establishing Transdisciplinary Professionalism for Improving Health Outcomes discusses how shared understanding can be integrated into education and practice, ethical implications of and barriers to transdisciplinary professionalism, and the impact of an evolving professional context on patients, students, and others working within the health care system.

Download or read book Professional Ethics and Personal Integrity written by Tim Dare and published by Cambridge Scholars Publishing. This book was released on 2020-05-22 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Professional roles are often thought to bring role-specific permissions and obligation, which may allow or require role-occupants to do things they would not be permitted or required to do outside their roles, and which as individuals they would rather not do. This feature of professional roles appears to bring them into conflict both with ‘ordinary’ or non-role morality, and with personal integrity which is often thought to demand some form of personal endorsement of one’s conduct. How are we to reconcile the demands of roles with ordinary morality and with personal integrity? This collection draws together a set of papers which explore these questions as they bear upon a number of different professional roles, including those of the lawyer, the judge and the politician, and from a variety of perspectives, including contemporary analytic moral theory, jurisprudence, psychoanalytic theory, virtue ethics, and contextualism, and, more broadly, from philosophy and legal academia and practice.
